Topic: do you think Castlevania games should have more new and creative bosses?

Christians stole beezelbub. He was originally the lord of flies.

Ooh, yeah you're both right about the Lord of the Flies. I actually just read that book. It was pretty good.

Yeah lord of the flies is awesome a bit unrealistic though.

I am shocked that no one, NO ONE has thought of this. Death and the other three of the four horsemen. War, Pestilence, Famine.
War could be some sort of entity whose attacks evolves with every hit. He starts with a club and then moves to a sword, knife, cannon, gun, bazooka, and laser. Famine and Pestilence could be a tandem boss who could cause the hero to suffer loss of energy by hitting him with some sort of disease. Maybe Pestilence could hurl vials of viruses that slow the player down and make him/her sick. Famine could take away all of your food items that you have in your inventory or cause them to go bad so you can't use them until you beat the bosses.

     Ok, it's shamneless self promotion time again and I forgot something. You can't have the four horseman unless you add one more the Headless Horseman. Of course when I was young the four horseman were War Famine Death Fire and no Pestilence so I guess you could have fire with the flaming Jack-o-Lantern heads being thrown at the hero.

From what info we have get so far for the new castlevania on ds, we know about two new bosses. A giant crub and a giant worm. So i think that this question has been answered from konami!

[A vicar in a tutu]

We need a shitload of new enemy sprites.
That would make a lot of people satisfied.

Yes.. we do.
The enemies that get new sprites in every new game
are the zombies(I know there are more).
I don't care if the new CV gets delayed, I just hope IGA re-imagines many of the enemies.

I have to admit that I am not a fan of where CV is right now in it's IGA Metroid style of gaming with Final Fantasy type character portraits. What they did with enemies for the PSP game was interesting. I wish they had done the PSP game on a different platform though as the graphics for the characters are blocky and rough.

simple question.

simple answer.

yes for new ones, but it's nice to touch upon old ideas now and then.  they just need to do that LESS.  the new game may very well be the prior.

I think there were some really good bosses in PoR. Keremet comes to mind and the PoR version of Dullahan was awesome.

I'd like it where you have to fulfill certain conditions to beat the boss like (and I'm only using this as an example because I can't think of a better one) God Of War. Maybe in order to defeat a certain boss, a vampire for example, you have to beat him with the Cross or soemthing like that. It'd put a new twist on boss fights and make them a little more strategic.

Hmm.. CV64 comes to mind... Vampire bosses that were about twice as strong during night time and pretty weak during day time?... Nah I MUST be mistaken, it can't be that good now can it 

As for new and original bosses.. I'd like a return of orlox only then enhanced a bit with a diffirent skillset instead of a drac copy, also I was thinking what if death appears in more than one form? like instead of his grim reaper appearance there a numerous other gods of death from diffirent cultures, those seem untouched by castlevania. Those could show up as bosses.

To sum it all up, I don't have many great idea's for diffirent bosses but I do agree the bosses can be made more tactical and challenging so that it doesn't become a simple hack and slash fest.
