General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Nocturne release date announced

« Last post by ForgemasterWolf on September 17, 2023, 08:24:50 AM »

I do have to wonder what the animated series post season 1 would have been like if Iga was still at the helm.

If IGA was still at the helm of the series, it would have never seen the light of day. After 8 rewrites until the first movie/season 1 got "passable" and then the project was dead in the water until Kevin Kolde and Adi Shankar revived the project after IGA left Konami. While IGA never said a thing publicly so far (to my knowledge), we do have something from his best buddy Curry the Kid. He just gave non-answers on his AMA thread when asked if the show captured the feel of the games. Even then, very rarely do creators just go out and criticize or openly say they didn't like adaptations of their works. The only one that comes to mind is Alan Moore.

I hope so too. I just got a look at that game and it does seem to have potential. WayForward is also doing this title, and since they were successful with Contra 4, I doubt this game will be as bad as Konami's previous Contra title. Ya know, the one with the gun-wielding Panda, lol.

So sad, so much potential.  Gotta hope their new Contra game sells well if we want a new Castlevania, perhaps?

I’m mainly collecting games now, however, Tower of Children is a Switch game I recently ordered and had my eye on for a while. Kwaidan has also piqued my interest, it gives me old Japan x Castlevania 64/ LOD vibes.
EDIT: Watched the trailer for Star Ocean Second Story R, it also looks intriguing, with an interesting environmental art style.

Yeah—that’s about right from Konami at this point. I at least hoped we could snag another collection this year, if not a brand new game.  I know TGS is right around the corner, but I don’t have much hope for anything there either.

I just got Sea of Stars. It did give me a nostalgia feel for Chrono Trigger but of course nothing can measure up to the original. Super Mario RPG Remaster is on my wish list. I can't think of much else ATM but new stuff pops up all the time.

There's a new music game coming out by Konami that has at least two Castlevania tunes in it.

Fan Stuff / Re: Carpathian Night Starring Bela Lugosi

Wow 

Corporate Bulls**t at it's finest. It's a real shame there's no 'Dragon hunting' allowed anymore. Back in the day when higher-ups like corrupt royals and elites were executed because they dared move against the people. Sadly, the laws that protect us also protect them too. Talk about a bum wrap.

Is it possible to relocate the game as-is to another engine? Transfer the code or something to that effect?

We are way too far into development for that, Carpathian Night is forever a Unity game.
