Castlevania 5 please.
I have a feeling they would fare better making a Classicvania instead of a Metroidvania.
I always thought of this:
- Castlevania 5
- Is a direct sequel to the first two games and stars Simon's son, Peter Belmont(Simon Peter, LOL)
- Takes place in the early 1700s(maybe 1720s)
- In the vein of the traditional CVs with a lot of ideas from SCV4(particularly gameplay).
- Story has hints of Dracula, but he's not the main villain. Probably focus on another vampire, like Carmilla or Elizabeth Bartley as the main antagonist.
- Branching paths like RoB, secret stages and lots of alternate boss battles. Because of this, lots of replayability.
This is something I can get behind. Make it beautiful as hell, get Jake Kaufman to score it(maybe even get Yamane to contribute, like how Shovel Knight has Matsumae doing a few songs)! Lots of winks to classic CV fans, and an overall polished experience. Release it for handhelds and home consoles(digital). Fuck yeah! Sold, baby!!
