General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Rumor: New AAA Castlevania in Development, Announcement Expected in 2025
« Last post by crisis on February 25, 2025, 09:42:18 PM »I believe a LoS collection already exists, albeit a half-assed one, but it’s there

I’ve been itching to replay Lament of Innocence for years, Curse of Darkness I felt was a chore to get through, CV64 was equally obnoxious. I’m indifferent towards Legacy of Darkness & Judgment, but I would love for them to put Adventure ReBirth as the extra bonus since it’s literally inaccessible for some reason. The Arcade has little to no chance of ever seeing a home port & Resurrection will always be that unfinished demo that they’ll never revisit.

In this, we have options:
-Lament, Curse, 64, Legacy, Judgment
-Lords of Shadow 1, Mirror of Fate, Lords of Shadow 2.
It is likely easier to do a LoS Collection than emulate the PS2/N64/Wii titles cleanly across the current generation of systems.
Personally, I hope it is the first item, but it is likely the second.

I've always found Saturn's sprites subpar compared to the rest of SotN's graphics, so I may try to do the same with a few more, since we have so many rips here...
These look quite nice, especially the added depth on the imp.
simon nes sheet with special moves n stuff
tried to stay as close to / in the spirit of the CV1 style and animations as I could, but kinda ended up with something a little higher fidelity out of necessity

General Castlevania Discussion / Re: New Interview with Shutaro Iida!
« Last post by Aceearly1993 on February 19, 2025, 08:32:02 PM »I hoped to hear some detailed explanation from the dev side what exactly caused the problem to soul and item drop rate in Dawn of Sorrow, is it a bug or an intentional design.

« Last post by Dark Nemesis on February 19, 2025, 05:04:39 PM »If you remember the previous rumor was consisting that there were 2 collection games and a new main Castlevania game.
I believe we have the collection games, advance and dominus, so one can only hope.

General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Akumajo Dracula PS3/360–still a mystery 17 years later
« Last post by crisis on February 19, 2025, 12:30:17 PM »Hmm, that’s a very interesting bit of info! So you inquired about it, but they straight up declined to even comment on it. I would imagine they signed strict non-disclosure agreements that are still in place to this day. But IGA’s not even with Konami anymore so I wonder why he still chooses to keep his mouth shut about it, how far into development they put in, etc. If that Resurrection demo could leak onto the internet after everyone believed it was a lost cause then perhaps something similar can happen with this, I just don’t want to wait another 20 years for it to happen

« Last post by Dongled on February 18, 2025, 01:54:34 AM »*Snore* this rumor has popped up every single year for the past....what...8-9 years? Outside of Grimoire and the collections, we've seen nothing (I'd argue Haunted Castle Revisited IS something but to each their own.)
I honestly just don't see Konami sinking serious money into another Castlevania reboot. Maybe they will, but if they were to do it, I honestly don't see how they'd make a new 3D Castlevania NOT play like a God of War clone i.e. like LoS. I think it's doable, but Konami's track record lately has been....amazingly good so far. MGS3 Remake is looking fantastic and that's supposedly being done in house. Silent Hill 2 Remake was apparently excellent. But Castlevania? the timeline is so fudged up at this point, they may have to reboot it i.e. like Capcom did with the RE games. Something that pays respects to the classics but updates them for a modern era.
As long as they are staying within the original timeline/remaking it, I'm in. No more alternates or LoS style games. No more spin offs.
