Hi there this is my first topic post, so just wanted to say hi
I have been thinking about this for sometime after that new pachinko. I have been working on a CastleVaina Fan project sort of like and reboot, but after I was saw the new pachinko I was like ok this whole thing needs a reboot.
And I wondered how would one make it cool again , here is how I would do it.
Id love to see it sort like a cross between ninja gaiden,LOS and Bayonetta.
All the Gameplay, Flash and style of both of them. But the solid dark atmosphere That's lord of shadows gave us.
and more focus on the Belmont's as I know that they only have one weapon, but there's sooooooo much that you can do with that, like levering It up. Like you would have your whip infused with powers, you would start with holy power and you would level that up, unlocking new moves, and then you'd find more ruins like a fire one and so on.
And you would have a power meter (sort of like burning mode in CV Legends ) and It would power you up letting use new moves for a short time.
And just like weapons from ninja Gaiden.
you can change runes on the fly. I see it being like a 3D Metroidvaina.
I'd like to start with a new timeline , so the first game would star Sonia Belmont,
castlevania lament of innocence would have still taken place but most of the characters would have reworks backgrounds
And I would like to see The vampire Killer whip have a sort new look, not turn it in to the combat cross but just give it a newer shine. Id like to make more of a holy weapon, like give it a new back story, Sara can still give her life to make the whip whole but I what it to be a very holy weapon even before that.
As a whole id like to move away from IGA's look and feel.
But that's just me what do you guys think.
