Hehe. Don't worry, I didn't mean an actual REBIRTH of him, with the same ideas and the same vision. I meant someone brand new, preferably someone who isn't already middle-aged (no offense to them), but rather a young talented person who shakes things up a bit. Much like IGA did once upon a time (like it or not). Cause there's no guarantee that some old-timer who's been in the industry since the 80's is gonna do better than someone who was born the same year as the original Castlevania saw the light of day.

I bet young, upcoming developers game designers are struggling to get recognition in this industry, at least when it comes to classic franchises, and especially in Japan. Or maybe I'm completely wrong and judgmental. Though I heard about a young woman working for Capcom developing Dragon's Dogma, who was bullied by her older colleagues to the point where she tried to take her own life.  :-\

Not that Dragon's Dogma is a classic franchise. Or even a franchise at all.

But anyway.
I HAVE FAITH IN TEH YOUTH!

I hate it too. And it's so sad that for some it doesn't even stop when they grow up.

Of course it doesn't stop. Sadly, every one of my jobs I've every had always had some asswipe that tries to start shit with people. The saying goes, "Old fools were once young fools.". Sometimes people just don't change.

That was depressing to read about, poor girl. If what she claims is true, I hope she gets every bit of her settlement.

Read it now it is offical well more capcom is the devil of video games. That not right it's a team effort if anything the people that did that should get fired. And what is it about HR not doing anything what the hell and who says this to someone who was working hard: "Even if the database is a success, you are worthless to the team." WTF really what the hell.

Wow, that was jackassery at its worst. Did the story garner any public reaction from Japan?
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

You are now reading this in Robert Belgrade's voice.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.

I didn't see much of Super Castlevania IV in Lords of Shadow besides the whip swinging and gloomy/dreary environments. He boasted that IV was his bible for LoS's development.

I saw tons of SCvIV in LoS. But perhaps I just have a bigger imagination (that's not meant as an insult)

I read that story --so sad...  But just a few thoughts to fill in the blanks...

The Japanese job market has been very tight for a very long time --competition is fierce.  If you live in Japan, doing your best work to keep your job is *very* serious business.  When people are a dime a dozen, they become disposable.  Japanese owners, suits, and managers have had the luxury to exploit their employees for maximum productivity and profits for nearly a generation --and that's a tragic thing...  Creating a positive work environment with good pay and benefits is a much higher priority in robust economies, where businessmen are so desperate for help they'd hire deadbeats off the street just to show up and wash a few dishes...

Thank God this woman has a right to sue --hopefully some of her fellow workers will have the courage to support and verify her claims in court.

So tomorrow, supposedly screenshots are going to go up for this game. At least that's what rumors have said.

Well i never did get to finishing my fan game, as the director, I didnt bother listening to much of the fans, now a days though, the companies wont take the risks they did back in NES time, Sure IGA has done well, my only true gripe with LoS was lack of familiar music, to set the tone, the music box wasnt enough to satisfy me, im curious though to see where they'll take this, and hopefully some nods to the original series but im holding my breath till I see what goes on with these two games, when your at the helm of a major franchise like castlevania, you can either win fans, or break them, so lets hope they get this one right, well the whole battle with lucifer in the first LoS made more sense kinda then just how LoI was but both games have their merits, so im curious if IGA is still doing he games along side MS or has MS taken the reigns, or Kojima for that (tho tbh I hate MGS)
