Its shown in Radio Drama that Richter is doing well and using the whip without problems after SotN, so it must be something else other than this brainwash thing.

It would have to be something AFTER that. There could've been something that took place after the radio drama(perhaps that cancelled IGA Alucard game).

What are you waiting, stupid lazy Konami?

Lords of Shadow 2.

Do you guys think that we will get the cancelled Alucard game developed by a new studio around a year after LoS 2 is released?

I won't raise my hopes, only to let it shatter.

[Trevorcard]

Probably not. And I am actually hoping not. Not because I am anti Igrashi but because his strengths don't lie in the 3D realm. I think its reasonable to assume that Alucard game would have suffered from similar flaws of Curse of Darkness and Lament of Innocene. I am actually hoping Igrashi comes back with the 1999 game in 2D or some great 2D castlevania game after LOS.

Some people are still hoping for this? I'm pretty sure it's dead and burried since the development of LoS1.

To be honest, i think that it's resting along side resurrection, never meant to be seen the day light.

The image made me imagine this is ending to Igrashi Castlevania or Mercury Steam Castlevania but with Castlevania characters .
Konami : You want an explanation. Here is your explanation!

Congratulations!

[Thomas Belmont]

That's a perfect opportunity to have a game explaining that.
What are you waiting, stupid lazy Konami?

Oh, come on! Iga had plenty of opportunities to explain why but decided to make a bunch of pointless sequels instead.

[Pfil]

But I didn't mention Iga, I even speculated about the Alucard game developed by a new studio.
I don't think he made pointless sequels, but imagine he did, OK. We still can have a game happening in that time period explaining the events which are we currently guessing about in this thread.
I think the essence of what it is can make a very compelling story.

Uhhh it's konami I don't know what to say to that uhh ugga booga?

True but that was an iga made game so that's his project if I'm wrong tell me but as for the Alucard game all of you probably all ready know my answer to this but I'll pass but I would be interested in it if Troy Baker voiced Richter that would have sold me.

I think they were pretty clear about what the Whip's Memory is. Like the description says it's nothing more than a manifestation of the whip's memory of it's last wielder. Now the fact that both John and possibly Quincy used the whip before Jonathan infers that the last wielder means the last Belmont wielder. This is further evidenced by the need of a ritual for Jonathan to be able to use the whip at any measure of it's full potential without it outright killing him.

What you said doesnt contradict anything that I have said, you know that right? We are only trying to create theories here, since a lack of evidence doesnt let us create something more consistent

Also this ritual was not for "Jonathan to be able to use the whip at any measure of it's full potential without it outright killing him", he CAN'T use it properly without this ritual and the whip will kill him anyway if he overuse it like John did.

I mentioned Iga because he is the reason why the explanation was never told. In my opinion, games like DoS, Curse of Darkness, Order of Ecclesia, etc. were pointless because they did nothing to progress the Castlevania story line. If anything, they created more questions.   

[Pfil]

Indeed, they created more questions, but listening to Curse of Darkness and Order of Eclessia soundtracks so frequently, I would never say those games were pointless, or any other CV game for that matter.
Not to mention that, apart from listening to CV music every day, all those are games that I love to play again from time to time.
More questions? From a point of view, that's good. It means more games, more soundtracks...
