If it's not by IGA's terribly incompetent 3D team, go ahead.

As much as I enjoyed Lament of Innocence, yeah this.

Don't anybody throw bricks at me, but I don't understand the fascination with Alucard. I mean, I kind of do, with his appearance in SotN pioneering the "ridiculous loads of loots and weapons" aspect of Castlevania, but... there's no guarantee at all that Alucard coming back will mean that a new game will be as good as that one.

Same here.

If IGA goes back to the series, he should stick to making the 2D games, with a separate team doing good 3D games. As in, put more effort into the level design than just "hallway, room full of enemies, another hallway, more hallways, another room full of enemies, etc." I think they could make a good 2D game on the consoles if they went and redrew all of the enemies in HD, Castlevania style. That would throw the "it's next-gen, games have to be in 3D" argument out the window, as far as I'm concerned. 2.5D would be good as well. As for the 3D games, they need to make sure to avoid making the mistakes of the other 3D iterations pre-LOS, be it a poor camera or monotonous level design.

I don't think IGA will ever touch the series again, I expect someone new to come along.

So I'm wondering if this will play for the final battle, or if this is when you

split from Dracula. It doesn't sound like we're going to fight Satan as Dracula after reading those achievements, and the inclusion of Dracula's theme and the LoS theme encore.

The series is not just defined by IGA or MS, so somebody else with a different vision would be my preference.

The fascination with Alucard sprouted from his awesomeness in SotN.
Yeah, developers would rather skirt the issue with the Alucard game cause they don't want to draw the fan's ire.
Trevorcard by MS, as an example, split the fans. What more an Alucard game?

However, personally, I want that game to happen. But I am also aware of the consequences.

I wanna see the Nagumo versus Jorge standoff already.

I don't think IGA will ever touch the series again,

Let's hope is that way.

If you go to the castlevania wiki, you can see like 5 seconds of new gameplay in the ad. You can see like 2 seconds of the Agreus battle and also of that purple wind guy. Its not much at all. But i get excited about the smallest of new stuff.

Meh, I cannot watch this ad on the wiki since it only shows German ads to me. I guess Agreus appears normal sized here?

He's pretty tall.

Music sounds as generic and lifeless as ever. Give Castlevania to Platinum games.
