At least it's something.
As always, crossing my fingers it's the 1999 game with Julius Belmont or another "ReBirth" type game.
-
Probably Castlevania 1 2 & 3 which will be downloaded from the eShop.
Or the gameboy games teehee

Yeeeeahhhh Im going with this.

Hah. Probably. Check this out though:
They're not things I'd repeat if I actively knew the developer were working on something else, so in that sense, I find them at least believable.
But basically I was told that he expects to see a new Fire Emblem, a new Castlevania, and a Contra but doesn't expect a lot of people will be happy with the direction those games are taking.
This source was 100% right on what he told me about DQX and confirmed the MHTriG thing for me long before the TGS rumors came out. But this is definitely very specific and a bit more risky with three games.

Sounds like Mercury Steam might be developing 3DSVania after all.
-
Nah, it might be more like "Castlevania: The Puzzle Game Part II" or something.
That's a completely different direction. MercurySteam's LoS might not be so popular here with some people (not me, I think the game is pretty great, though it's just not that CV to me, but it's still good) but at least it's an action/platform game. A 'different direction' suggest them going in a very oddball direction away from the core franchise, like what they did with Encore of the Night.
-
Oh god.
What if it's Judgment 3D?
-
Yeah. Looking forward more news.
-
I only accept 2D gameplay as CV.
-
Funny how I just can not seem to become happy with this news.
My fear is that maybe they have let Cox take over the 2.d games and he will make a game for the 3DS?
Or maybe Konami gives IGA a very low budject and lets him make a lame puzzle game or make a game with reused sprites.
I'm just not all the excited really.
I'm understandably a bit skeptical about this.
-

You have every right to be. :(

Harmony of Despair 2
You hear it here first.
-
No it's going to be LoS 3D
-
I'm not getting my hopes too high. And that comment about us being unhappy with the new direction the games are taking is not helping. But hey at least we'll get something.
-
I place my bets on lackluster spin off nobody will care about.
-
From this "but doesn't expect a lot of people will be happy with the direction those games are taking.", I'm thinking something akin to DXC, that not everyone liked at all.
In other words, a 2.5D game.
-

wait, what?
Are you implying the DXC was not well received among the fanbase?
-
"I was told that he expects to see a new Fire Emblem, a new Castlevania, and a Contra but doesn't expect a lot of people will be happy with the direction those games are taking."
Messing up Castlevania would be bad enough, but Contra, too?! I hope not. 3DS has potential in its own way, but then things like the BM64-like Bomberman 3D get shelved, and other franchises get ports, remakes, or wild reimaginings that have little to do with anything. My prediction: Castlevania: Zobek's Storybook Adventure 3D Patrick Stewart narrates 3D pages of text!!! :D
-
wait, what?

No. I'm saying not everyone liked the change of the graphics from 2D to 3D.
-
No. I'm saying not everyone liked the change of the graphics from 2D to 3D.
Oh,
So what your saying is a good inbetween would be a 2.5D Castlevania with 3D graphics and traditional 2.D gameplay?
Because if so I agree.
-

No, I'm saying not everyone liked the graphics of DXC. And I agree with them. The gameplays was alright, though.
-
Hooray!!! Another rumor!!! :P
-
Okay, isn't this a "no-brainer"? They dont' think a lot of people will like the way the new CV and Contra are going. Hmmm... well, then why go there? They already know it's going to piss people off. A LOT of people(they even say it). Either Konami's operating on pure jackass logic, or they believe this "new way" will be beneficial, even despite it's an apparent gamble. LOL! I feel like some of these companies are running on the logic you see the parents of South Park run on. How a lot of the time, the kids have more sense than the adults. "Oh, you don't understand, Stan. It's so much more complex that you think it is! You're young, you don't know the way the world works!".
-

Considering the fact that its was on a handheld I think the graphics quality deserves a little lenience IMO.
Considering what system it was on the graphics where pretty good.
I'm willing to be that a Xbox 360 or PS3 2.5D game would have awesome graphics.

I thought, the graphics quality was ok, I just thought the bitmapping in the backgrounds was way too 'busy'. Like they just slapped them on without considering their scale or whether they fit the original game's concepts well.
-
Creepy. I had a dream last night that I was reading a magazine about a new 3DS Castlevania and Contra. No joke. If they're premonitory, like my one dream about a Mega Man X RPG about a year before Command Mission was announced, we have nothing to worry about. 2D or at least 2.5D. (Or, more likely, my subconscious is just trolling me.)
I'm now a little worried after hearing that people might not be pleased with the direction. They better not be things other than action games. I'm envisioning Contra being a bad TPS that uses the 3DS motion sensor to aim. Barf.
The Games Industry. Bringing half-assed innovation where no one asked for it in the first place.
-
I hope it's something real and not a rumor. I won't lie I got excited when I saw Fire Emblem in the title too.
-
Desperately hoping it's a Classicvania, makes sense when they say the games are going for a direction "not everyone will be happy with." The Metroidvanias are far more popular than the Classicvanias.
Oh who am I kidding it's gonna be some lame ass spinoff or LoS sequel. :(
-
I've said it before and I will say it again.
I would LOVE to finally see a 2.5D metroidvania.
We already have a 2.5D classicvania so I have always thought that the metroidvanias deserved a shot.
But alas, this will not come to pass.

I never thought about this, but this would be awesome.
More likely than not it's a shitty spinoff game, though. I just know it's going to be in a non-action genre, if for no other reason than because they're today-Konami and they have to fuck something up.
-
2.5D AlucardVania.That would be awesome.
I'd rather another castlevania game where BOTH Alucard & a Belmont are playable characters.

Akumajo Dracula: Gallery of Labyrinth 2. Except "Labyrinth" here means Jonathan and Charlotte are turned into marbles and stuck in one of those wooden mazes you tilt with knobs.
So, basically Kirby's Tilt 'n' Tumble 3, with an unrelated franchise.

Maybe it will be an action game, but like Asura's Wrath where all the really cool parts are several minute long QTE sequences.

Maybe Konami is just toying with our minds, setting our expectations so despairingly low that when they do reveal their new Castlevania game we recieve it with praise as opposed to anger - because in reality they put no greater effort into it than what they normally do.

Iga presents: Castlevania: Bloody Racers. In 3D!!

Man so far this is the worst 25th anniversary ever.

It's kinda like how your parents would forget about your birthday even through you reminded them countless times beforehand, it's a real bummer when that actually happens.
Oh well, here hoping for a decent 30th.
In 2016.
When most of us will be in our late 20's early 30's(or over 30) still waiting on that 1999 game and we end up getting the third LOS game instead for the next gen systems.
-
Very Possible, I've stated that Konami has released 3 original Games on every Gen of Nintendo Handhelds.
this is only the first of three.
-
Now, now, Konami hasn't revealed anything horrific yet. (Outside of that Vita Silent Hill, blech.)
...But I suppose an anticipatory pitchfork sharpening is in order.

"I was told that he expects to see a new Fire Emblem, a new Castlevania, and a Contra but doesn't expect a lot of people will be happy with the direction those games are taking."
So, we'll probably see another Castlevania puzzle game, and definitely a FPS Contra... but what on earth will Nintendo do to Fire Emblem? Hmmm..let's see... How can we destroy that franchise? Maybe if they go the Shining Force route (Anyone who's played Shining Force EXA and/or NEO know what I'm talking about.). The Fire Emblem fanbase will be furious cause they've had a pretty good run so far with surprisingly few fuck-ups. The Castlevania fanbase on the other hand... we're kind of used to all sorts of stupidity. I think it's only fair that Fire Emblem goes down too. If we can't get what we want, NOBODY SHOULD.
:D
No but really, I am a little excited about these rumours. Castlevania was always a system seller for me. I hope it's an action game. 2D or 3D doesn't really matter.
-
but what on earth will Nintendo do to Fire Emblem?
Fire Emblem: Pinball.

Fire Emblem: Pinball.

Well, to be honest I think everyone should just sell their video game franchises to Activision. They can turn them all into Call of Duty clones and be done with it. Then I wouldn't have to worry about video games anymore - I'll play my old favourites and just ignore the new stuff. I already think that 50% of all new games look exactly the same. Modern Warfare, Battlefield, Crysis, Halo, Medal of Honor, Killzone, Duke Nukem, Resistance, WHATEVER. They all look the same to me.
Give Simon Belmont a machine gun and have him fight nazis, why don'tcha. I don't care anymore.

Not surprised at all, just disappointed. :-\
Don't really expect anything that wasn't previously announced at TGS either, though I wouldn't mind be surprised...I just don't expect it at this point.

No Castlevania (yet), but at least we have 2 Monster Hunter games guys.... :rollseyes:

1st off, I see how Konami is doing anniversaries, doing them one at a time, I do believe castlevania will have its Thunder in October, Why October?
Cause your a fucking moron If you can't see why someone would celebrate Castlevania in October.
2nd off,Dracula's Curse 3DS will never happen, Simply beacause that's not what Chronicles is about.
Chronicles is about releasing a Japan only Castlevania game to the States and Europe with updates.
With that being said. There is still Tokyo Game Show.
Also, The Last IGAvania was Summer 2010, I'm really sick of the people who are all like "its durrr end uurrf CastlurrrVaniurrr", OoE was made in 08, You gotta realize that comments like that make you (as in ther person posting this comment) sound like a greedy Spoiled Child demanding shit and acting like its the end when you don't see an announcement the next year.

According to Neogaf. Konami's conference is Sept 16th 3pm
-
That was referring to the pre-conference, when Konami announced everything they'd be showing at TGS.
-
Well, at least this means we won't be getting a Castlevania rhythm game.
-
I would ask Konami Man to make them work on a CV game, but he won't even refill my energy anymore after I accidentally hit him. :'(
-
So is there a Konami pre-conference or not. Too lazy to look it up!
-
I agree with Miss Bodacious here.
-

No pre-conference for Konami. They are having a stage show on the 16th(16th to us, 17th to them). The only games listed that they will be showing at the stage show are:
- Senritsu no Stratus (10:45 - 11:30, September 17th)
- NeverDead (12:00 - 12:30, September 17th)
- Frontier Gate (14:45 - 15:15, September 17th)
- Pop'n Music Portable 2 (16:00 - 16:45, September 17th)
Konami.... you LOSE!!!
I can believe I'm saying this, but I'm more stoked over Square Enix right now than Konami. Bravely Default(horrible name, dammit Japan, you wanna name things in English, consult native speakers, or people FLUENT!!! You don't see Westerners come up with names like "Gekki Muraisama Desu Mashinden!!!" just to make things sound "Japanese"), a new 3DS RPG, looks wonderfly awesome.
-
NeverDead looks like an awesome combination of Mr. Bones, Wario Land 2, Evil Dead, and... a TPS, so I'm kinda stoked for that. I just hope Bryce is still as much of an obnoxious asshole as he was in the first trailers; it certainly makes him stand out from the myriad of "STEROIDS. MY WIFE/FAMILY IS DEAD. HIT ROCKS TOGETHER MAKE FIRE" protagonists that games love so much today.
Silent Hill Downpour looks... different. The facts that they allow you to turn off noob button prompts and that they're steering away from the done-to-death Order plotline are big pros for me. Will buy simply because horror games are few and far in between.
I'm sad that there's no CV news yet, but LoS sold oodles (at least, for a CV) and has a sequel already confirmed by MS. Not to mention there have been several hints at a 3DS CV in the works, not just the TGS rumor. I'd say it's just that we need to wait a while longer.
-
People here are spoiled with a new CV every year so they honestly don't know what waiting is. I agree that 2011 is an important year for CV and it would be really strange if Konami doesn't give us anything. But hey, maybe Konami celebrates this 25th anniversary by NOT releasing a Castlevania game for a change, lulz. We've been bombarded with games for the last 11 years or so. It's time for a breather. People think Castlevania is dying when it's in fact more alive than ever, sort of.
-
I they don't finally announce something during TGS that isn't LoS then I need something to unleash my anger and disappointment on.

Not releasing a new game is not the problem. Announcing nothing regarding the anniversary IS. Other companies announce their anniversary plans(or at least hints and nudges of something big) MONTHS prior to the actual date. Waiting until the last minute is like waiting to the last day to surprise your certain someone with their anniversary present. "Oh shit, I forgot! Damn, better make reservations at a restaurant.... SHIT they're all booked up. Well, I guess I'll take her to McDonalds instead!". Like I said, how Nintendo's approaching the Zelda anniversary, and how Square Enix are approaching the FF anniversary(25 years next year) are great. Little nudge, hint hint, "We've got some things lined up!", wink wink. FF's got it made. Theatrhythm is the first of a string of Anniversary related announcements(the recent FFX HD for PS3 and Vita is the second) which they will announce on a special event later this year.
-
Knowing Konami they probably release something for the anniversary and we won't find out it even exist for a few days.
-

Well maybe Konami will make a better boxing bag than they are a game developer & publisher

Certainly, since it's pretty much the Metal Gear Show now.

Hear, hear.

Konami announced anniversary stuff for effin FROGGER, right? And Goemon, even if it seems to be something shitty. So, I don't believe that Konami had forgotten about Castlevania turning 25. It makes absolutely no sense at all. There MUST be something. Something that's been in the making for a while. But I agree it feels like they've forgotten all about it (which is... unheard of!) and now they're just gonna announce something so no one suspects anything.
-
Do you know what I've got for the CV Anniversary?? BloodRayne Betrayal. lol
-
Maybe they will announce the release of the animated feature film based on Castlevania III.
Although I would love a teaser for Lord of Shadows 2, but will be satisfied with a completely orchestral album covering music from the last 25 years in the style of Symphonic Fantasies from Square Enix. And I mean a real symphonic album, not like Dracula New Classic which is good for the time but I was unhappy with some of the synth overlays and sound effects (but it doesn't stop me from listening the heck out of it).

Oh sure let's celebrate castlevanias anniversary with an animated adaption containing male nudity & beastiality references, that sounds like it would be money well spent. :-\
Seriously, the only animation I'd like for Konami to be working on right now would be for the HD sprites in a new 2D console game.

No Castlevania at TGS yet.

According to Facebook IGA will be attending TGS so he is wandering around there as we speak. Only thing is, will he be promoting LEEDMEES or "Castlevania: Chorus of the Apostastes"

Somebody should tackle IGA and beat some Castlevania news out of him. Seriously, if they do an interview with him and he confirms he is working on a major CV release, all the wait would be worth it.
-

That hardly seems fair, he probably wouldn't even have his trusty whip on him if he's just promoting LEEDMEES ;D
It's is surprising though that nobody has tried to squeeze anything out of him, not even whether he thought Castlevania needed a reboot, how he would have done it in MS place & that kind of stuff
-
I don't think he would be allowed to talk about something like that because all Konami employes must like anything the company puts out. Otherwise it would be bad for publicity and it isn't really professional.
-
I agree with Miss Bodacious here.
More like Mr. Bodacious. Nagumo is a weird guy disguised as a small girl. I wish I was kidding, too : o
Anyway, I doubt Konami will announce anything Castlevania related. Not surprising, and maybe even for the better. I'd probably be even more disheartened by some Lords of Shadow sequel.

Last pages of this thread reminds me about kindergarden for some reason.

Don't worry, the game is already in the development and probabaly will be unveiled soon, no matter how much you'll hate this. ;D

Nope, sorry. After Judgment failed Konami lobotomized IGA and now he is a shadow of his former self. He can only communicate in monosyllabic grunts and is only allowed to make cheap XBLA games.
His wife and child are broken inside, but they know better than to complain. Konami might get them too. :(

But we know he is capable of great things like OoE. :(

Now I've seen gameplay from the 3DS Fire Emblem game, and it looks exactly like Fire Emblem always did. I don't understand why someone said "people won't be happy with direction these games are taking", when talking about the 3DS versions of Fire Emblem, Castlevania and Contra. Well, maybe they'll fuck up Castlevania and Contra, but I haven't found anything to get upset with Fire Emblem 3DS so far...
-
Did Konami have their little press conference yet? Unless the Metal Gear stuff was all they had to show.
-
I'm going to bed now (it's late in here europe!) and when I wake up tomorrow I expect to see some Castlevania news here. By then Konami should've shown whatever they have up their sleeves for this TGS. I can't say I'm holding my breathe though...
Good night!

Yeah... that game was so awesome. Definitely my favorite of the DS games; really wish he'd make another one.

Well, the Konami Stage Show was before the Kojima Stage Show, and we all know the Kojima Stage Show is over, so yeah, Konami's Stage Show came and went like the wind. No new CV in sight, and no talk about a CV 25th Anniversary.
Though, one nugget of info I found out is that they DID announce a new Suikoden game. Good news is that it's going to be for the PSP. Bad news, it's likely to be in the vein of Tierkreis(why, Konami, can't you just fuckin FINISH the original series!?).
But yeah, unless some news site squeezes the info from some Konami PR guy, it's game over. Last wall of defense has fallen(E3, Gamescon, and now TGS), and hope is being annihilated by hopelessness. All falls in it's wake. Happy anniversary, Castlevania, even if Konami doesn't appreciate you, that doesn't mean we don't. And Konami, fuck you very much.

GensÅ Suikoden Happy 15th anniversary!!
Applause

Well, I guess if they don't want to put anything out, then that's fine with me. I can continue to collect the old stuff, and I don't feel like giving them money, anyway. I can always buy used versions of any non-CV Konami releases that I really want. ;)
But this thing with ignoring the anniversary baffles me, unless they're waiting until the exact date to make an announcement. Not holding my breath on that one, either.

It's is odd that a new suikoden is coming but if it is I think Tri-Ace might be behind it http://www.siliconera.com/2011/08/08/suikoden-team-disbanded-tri-ace-hired-because-they-have-rpg-know-how/ (http://www.siliconera.com/2011/08/08/suikoden-team-disbanded-tri-ace-hired-because-they-have-rpg-know-how/)
I have not tried Tierkreis but I have seen some gameplay but not enough to make good judgement on it but it looks like a really good game a different take on the series yet if I were to make some kind of complaint it would be that the 3D models just look odd they have that chibi look I dislike it. But yes a next true numerical Suikoden would be the bees knees on a next gen system. Also did any of you guys and girls know this?

Suikoden Tierkreis was great. Though the voice actors did get on my nerves, especially the hero. Other than that I liked it so I welcome a sequel. But I would also prefer Suikoden 6, of course.
Anyway, I'm happy about a new Suikoden! I thought the series was dead.
As for Castlevania I can't say I'm surprised. We'll get something someday, just not now.

Lords of Shadow 2.

I think we'll get something before LoS2. Probably a 3DS game, or a Vita game. I don't expect the sequel to LoS will be ready until xmas 2012, or possibly early 2013. But that's just me. I predict a 3DS Castlevania for summer/fall 2012. Or something.
Then again, I know absolutely nothing. It's just fun to predict stuff.

I'm seriously starting to consider that the release for Hodespair for PS3 is going to be related to the anniversary somehow...

I think you might be right. I would've preferred no game at all, to be honest. "Let's celebrate 25 years of Castlevania by releasing a year-old game AGAIN!". Not even the HoDespair fans can argue that it's a good idea for the 25th Anniversary. It's beyond lazy.
I want that Complete Chronicle thing. It was probably fake, but still.

Seriously. As much as I want to play HD, it'd be extremely disappointing to have that as an anniversary title.

"All is Lost, Harmony of Despair was the worst game ever and it nailed the coffin in the Castlevania Franchise! Lords of Shadow Jeopardized the Castlevania Timeline! I haven't heard of anything of a Anniversary, Konami Sucks and Hates Castlevania!!!"
There, I summarized it. Shut up Now.
Suikoden for the Fucking PSP, SUIKODEN!
If Konami Remembered Suikoden, I'm Fucking Certain they haven't Forgotten Castlevania.

TGS2011 END.
NO CASTLEVANIA NEWS!!

YAY!!

What if we get something for the anniversary a little late, like next year? Does it really matter? I agree the silence is very strange, but c'mon... You KNOW that Konami hasn't forgotten. There's something coming up, and it MUST be more than just Despair ps3.
-
I've been reassuring myself the same thing before I went to sleep for the past few months now. I wish I didn't have to do that myself.
:-\
-
I guess Konami didn't wanna celebrate the 25th anniversary, maybe they wanted to celebrate it's 26'th anniversary instead.(Which is stupid but then again so is Konami.)
I said it before and I'll say it again: Cut our losses and wait for E3 2012 for some new Castlevania news.
It's gonna be a long wait. >:(
-
There are sooo many other games coming up so I'll be busy anyway. Welcome back next year Castlevania. May you return with something excellent.
-
At E3 2012 Konami/Kojima Productions/MercurySteam/Dunder Mifflin will reveal the Lords of Shadow 2 teaser trailer & probably nothing else (mmmaybe a 3DS/Vita port). Harmony of Despair ps3 was our anniversary gift as far as I'm concerned.
I'm not expecting much from them anymore. Atleast we have some fun fan games & music remixes to enjoy. Cheers to a hopefully excellent 30th!
never thought i'd say this but i envy frogger

The fanboys crawling all over Konami's FB wall going "SUIKODEN 6 NAO PLZ" may have had something to do with it.
Yeah, in the time I've been away, I've given up on the 25th.

Hopefully, fans will have something for CV's Anniversary.

Let's cry together with Samus Aran guys. Alucard/Simon and Samus crying together.
Why there's no fanart of this yet?

The anniversary date and October is our last hope. :(

If all else fails, just imagine Dark Souls is the next Castlevania game. It has whips as weapons, and a dark soundtrack!

That dog won't hunt, Monsignor!
Dark fantasy with a whip... that's how we got Lords of Shadow.
Interestingly enough, while I always love the medieval-set CVs, there's just something more about the 18th-19th century Enlightenment-Victorian era I like more. Like CV64, as far as 3D CVs are concerned, I'd love to see THAT ear tackled instead of medieval again. LoI, CoD, LoS, all fairly medieval worlds. Even though it might've been hoping for too much, when IGA started to talk about making a game that dealt with Quincy Morris and CV's version of Stoker's novel(how the events went down in the CV universe), to envision that setting, I kinda got giddy. We've had CotM, RoB, SotN, HoD, OoE and the CV64 games, but with the recent venture into 3D, it's a setting I'd love to see realized.

I'd love to see this too. But I don't believe that IGA is the right person to tell this story.

Can't wait for dark souls. my special edition is pre-ordered.

I want an actual Renaissance Castlevania. Well, we already kinda have LoI for that, costume design anyway. Area-wise, it kinda spans a number of different centuries. Walter was so fashionably ahead of his time.
