We should have gotten another LoS game

To be specific, Castlevania. Lords of Shadows: Walter's Curse.

First part could be set in Bernhard Castle with the final boss being the Forgotten One. We'd play as the Founders Julius mode style. My headcanon is the reason the Founders went to search immortality was because the Forgotten One prison was bound to their lifeforce so afterwards we'd unlock character specific chapters about their personal quest for Ascension (both to heaven and to power as Lords of Shadows)

-LSCarmilla story would be about seize Bernhard Castle, enacting vengance of Frankestein, summoning Olrox and Brauner and finalize with Laura's embrace or something about the Mirror of Fate.

-LSCornell story would be about the Necromantic Wars and his eventual capture of Agartha

-LSZobek about his trip to hell and finalize with the Heaven barrier spell from LoS1 plot

No thanks.  This would just continue taking Castlevania down a road further and further away from what it ever was. I mean look at your storyline descriptions and ask yourself does this sound like a Castlevania?  It's like suggesting a game where we play as the wizard boss from chronicles.

Dracula was not always a monster. He was once a man named Mathias Cronqvist. A flawed, conflicted, genius of a man. How did the educated, aristocratic, crusader who piously served the church become a vampire, and eventually the Dark Lord himself, the opposing force to God? From a very young age terrors and tragedy shaped the man into the king of all evil. This is his story.

A bit of a side tangent, but I always thought it was pretty silly they felt the need to use a fictional fantasy war as backstory for a Castlevania game, which has always been more grounded in real world myths. There are plenty of interesting legends they could have used. For example, SotN references mythology related to the Goths and the Visgoths. They could have done something with that instead and it would have enriched the lore more than a generic sounding event such as the "Necromantic Wars" ever could.

How about fucking NO.

After the abortion that was LoS2 you really want another Alvarez fueled mistake?

If you really want it, make it yourself. A fanfic would suffice if you are so into it.
But I won't be supporting it though. I prefer the LOS saga to sleep eternally in the vaults of Konami.

Then it'll just re-appear in another time by some foolish employee to plague us again, just like Dracula's resurrections, lol. Rather then sleeping in a vault for eternity, they should be non-existent.

I'd like a game where you play as the Werewolf from Chronicles and throw parts of the environment at enemies ;P

Grab Dracula's throne and kill him with it.

Speaking of "games with random playable mooks" I would like to have a game where you play as a skeleton that can take on the abilities of... well, all the various skeleton enemies in Castlevania.  So along with chucking bones, he could use a sword, kick his own skull around, use a nova beam and make a cocktail.

This happens at the end of the game as you celebrate your victory with the rest of your bone buddies  ;D

I'd rather LoS be more obscure than information about the 32x canceled Bloodletting.  LoS is a blight on the Castlevania name and was an early sign of what bullfuckery Konami was soon to pull.

Id have love to have seen more. its a shame to see all those great ideas just fall to dust.  But having said that id more
love to see a reboot of the Main timeline, and some of more sloppy parts of the story cleaned up.

To be fair, if they were going to add a ruined lost city that wasnt Atlantis, they had to explain it somehow (well they didnt have to, but i prefer it that way)

How about fucking NO.

Over #eroticviolence? Of course.

No thanks.  This would just continue taking Castlevania down a road further and further away from what it ever was. I mean look at your storyline descriptions and ask yourself does this sound like a Castlevania?  It's like suggesting a game where we play as the wizard boss from chronicles.

Yeah playing as a guy with a sword with necromantic powers, a transforming witch and a werewolf is absolutely unprecedented in Castlevania. What was i thinking  :rollseyes:

I'd rather LoS be more obscure than information about the 32x canceled Bloodletting.  LoS is a blight on the Castlevania name and was an early sign of what bullfuckery Konami was soon to pull.

IIRC LoS is the best selling CV is the best selling CV game ever made (and will probably remain like that) so i find that unlikely
