I agree.

I still hate that Konami felt the need to show the Alucardvania at TGS only to supposedly cancel it in favor of LOS.

That was just a slap in the face to anyone who was actually interested in the trailer (like myself).

Yeah, I was pretty pissed that they'd show off a new 3D game with Alucard only to cancel it...

Not sure why you'd be pissed considering that it was a 3D game with IGA behind it. HEH.

Well, considering it might have been one of the proposed pitches in order to make Castlevania "new and exciting again" it might have turned out godly.

BUT WE NEVER FIND OUT NOW WON'T WE

But I liked CoD and LoI.
More on the latter, since CoD was MAJOR bland. D:

"new and exciting"
Better add Alucard.

Well, apparently LoS is SCVIV so okay.

Yes, but Alucard is cool so Konami has to whore him out.

a 3dvania with alucard? its called Curse of Darkness.
Its not alucard, but it is a white haired girly-men associated with dracula and now fights against him with tons of Weapons and Familiars.
only thing CoD was missing were spells, and the combo system has that pretty much covered.
shape shifting was one only thing CoD didn't have at all

and considering that IGA has something to do with it, Alucard 3dVania was gonna be CoD for xbox360/PS3.
I can see why Konami Dropped it for something better.

How can you be so sure?

For all we know IGA learned from his mistakes and was going to make this Alucard game into a proper CV title.

Lets face it the only thing that was wrong with COD was the dungeon style gameplay and lack of platforming.

Both could easily be fixed so I see no reason why IGA can not fix such issues.

Some of you just think IGA is basically retarded.

I'm pretty sure he has heard the fans negative backlash regarding his 3D CV titles and thus I think he may have learned from it.

IGA is cool because he hangs out with cosplaying Simon Belmonts and whips clowns. So shut it.

What people tend to forget is that the repetitive nature of the PS2 games is more of the blame of Takashi Takeda than Igarashi. Takeda was game designer and director to Curse of Darkness, Lament of Innocence, and Harmony of Despair, the three games many argue as the most repetitious titles in the series. Igarashi is probably more in a role where he approves and assists the story and gives the okay on what core gameplay elements are. I'm sure he's never approved of level design, as he's never had a role like that during his career with Konami.

that's funny cuz IGA himself prefers to take the blame for why LoI & CoD weren't successful

IGA: In regards to 3D, I haven't been very successful in the past & that pisses the hell outta me, so I'm not giving up.
What do you think the problem has been in that game translating over to 3D?
IGA: I just think it's me.
Why you?
IGA: I just think I can make it a lot more fun, I think I can do a lot more with it and I just wanna keep trying & do better.

He takes the blame like any producer should. It's just not his personal fault or involvement that led the games to have repetitive elements.

LoI was repetitive and then he made CoD, which was 10x more repetitive than LoI. Why won't he learn?
