Fan Stuff / Re: Castlevania: Legends - Transfusion

« Last post by Eric Roman on March 17, 2023, 12:36:34 PM »

I am opening this thread for feedback, suggestions for improvements over the original title etc. I actually never played this one. I probably should do that. I have only been watching playthroughs.

Cheers to you getting back in The Game, so to speak.  I would strongly recommend you play Legends to get a feel for how trash it was (>)) compared to what came before, that way you can better calibrate your sense of how much ass your efforts will actually be kicking.

What are you thoughts?

Konami has not been marketing in my direction for well over a decade.

General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Romancelvania, anyone?

That action parts seem to be the most mysterious parts of that trailer.

It looks like Drac was able to hit on males to; specifically that male werewolf. That simply doesn't compute as Drac is a straight man, has always been a straight man, and will always be a straight man. I Don't need a WOKE writer coming along and ruining a beloved literary fictional character just so he/she can feel some sort of self-importance/superiority. Think I'll pass on this, lol.

This is very amusing idea for a game and I'm willing to give a little benefit of the doubt so far as the bang-whoever-you-want angle being the result of recent heavy-handed polictical correctness; I'd play the other team if it was THAT good and wanted to get that 210.6% (or whatever amount the Alucard's Shield website was up to). 

(Oyeah, right, I almost forgot; if you're living forever you're gonna wind up trying everything.  Even so, I didn't much care for Al's orgy trap with Naruto & Sakura in the Netflix.  Not as much as the Lenore saix they spliced in. :O )

The best CastleVania things of the present generation haven't been coming from the place it was born.

In a Parallel Universe the license was handed over to a team who really cared. 

(Oh, the Parodius license was passed over to me.  )

General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Super Castlevania IV Beta.

the version in this commercial looks to be even more of a beta than what was leaked,
simon doesn't even have a designated color palette set up and there are some major gameplay differences.

who is that weird ass snake boss at 0:15???

also, notice how SUPER is missing from the name in that cobbled together title screen?
i've noticed that before, in older advertisements.  thankfully they didn't go with this shitty logo...

That logo was some quick graphic design work for the issue of Game Player's Nintendo Guide I had scanned it from and cropped to show off the (beta) art.

Why would anyone want to skip the map sections?

Maybe because the game sucks? I thought LoI was bad until I played CoD.

Interesting theory. The points made in the above by Crying Wolf could go a long way as to explain why CoD never had a release outside of XBOX and PS2. Personally I for one honestly never cared about the ending theme of CoD. To me it sounds very out-of-place in Castlevania. Come to think of it, so did the original SotN ending theme 'I am the wind'. These are just my opinions though as others will feel otherwise.

I agree it feels out of place, however, in context outside of lyrics appearing “in-game” perhaps while there were a handful of others that preceded SOTN(namely original release of ‘Tales of Phantasia’) it wasn’t considered common in those days. While I don’t mind ‘I am the wind’, I actually hold no association to it with SOTN aside from the Saxophone instrumental at the very start when Alucard starts legging it…

I would presume it's probably caused by something tied with the reception of the actual game content itself. Maybe konami is not satisfied with the game's quality or something.

I don't think copyrighted vocal songs would be barrier. They could always re-record new songs to replace like the case in DXC SotN. If they really want to re-release the game they would've done it already. But judging from current situation we could only hope for a potential new 3D collection in the future.
