Topic: Love/Hate: Metroidvania

[Azmodan]

Some will hate me for this, but constraints and lack of resources for sprites is what pushes me to think the PSP would be a good base for handheld CV's. Now, I have a DS and I think DoS and PoR are fair entries, but seeing fifteen year old or more sprites is just too much.

I don't like CastleVania in 3D... And the graphics in Dracula X Chronicles... Eww is what I say...

I want to see a 2D CastleVania for Wii, that would be cool
But one new one with new stuff for DS would't be worng.

I wanna see a 3d. I just want it to be better than the ones that preceded it. Spend more time on it. such and such.

I want to see another 3D Castlevania like 64 was. I think that seemed like a better transition to 3D than the PS2 games were. It had all the platforming elements that the originals had (especially in the castle wall and clock tower levels), plus it had more story elements like the Metroidvania style games had.

So I think if they were to work with that as sort of a basis for a new 3D CV it would be more true to the series and a more successful 3D game in my personal opinion(not that I'm saying I didn't like LoI and CoD, I enjoyed them a lot).

Create a new gameplay concept.
Or innovation.

but.. when something good happens, we want to hold on to it as long as we can, just like IGA is doing. hmph..

I liked CastleVania 64 more than LoI and CoD.
LoI and CoD is just the same corridor all overagain...
but CV64 had diffrent levels but alot of towers xD

and by the way... CastleVania is better than Metroid

Well, I personally love them. 2-D Sid Scrollers are my favorite games...I'll play them over just about any newer 3D game and I absolutely love that sense of exploration. Still as far as the Metroidvania type goes, I don't think anything can beat Super Metroid

100% agree.

So...., now this thread became a Castlevania vs Metroid?

[erimocard]

Yes. ...no.

I like Castlevania more than Metroid. Alone the story is better according to my opinion and always binds me against.

No metroidvanias have yet to match the greatness of super metroid. 

I personally like the classic games better though myself.

Maybe like "Allein die Story ist besser, weil sie mich immer fesselt?"
Well, he likes the story of CV better than the story of the Metroid series. Actually he has no clue about Metroid anyway. If you stick to it, the Metroid story is actually really complex too.
