Topic: Yet another rumor: IGArashi making 3D game for 3DS

[Hanniballistic]

Some of you are ridiculous!  "looks better than what IGA can produce"  They are tiny little pictures that barely show anything!  Looks like another knee-jerk "I hate IGA" reaction.  To a hoax, even.  Haha.

[Munchy]

I'm still kinda butthurt that never became an actual game. Damn you Dreamcast!

Before the Dungeon wnet through one of it's renovations, there were full-sized screenshots of those two pics. I've seen them and the detales were impressive to say the least.

That's unfortunate. Because I can't really form a opinion on these two shots.
I don't really like the color choices or the plain background in the first shot or the building or sky in the second shot, but it seems like it could have some intricate detailing and nifty particle effects. At least, it looks to have some relatively pretty high resolution art.

I guess it was an obvious sign that it was fake from the HUD though~ There would be no need for the black considering that was just enforced by a NES technological limitation and abandoned in every other 'Vania besides Chronicles where it was just a nifty semi-transparent effect. Or maybe it's just for nostalgia, still an odd presentation choice.

Totally looks dramatic and full of action!

I agree, lets compare them to a real iga game:






which looks better? lol


I'm willing to bet the first 2 might've been photoshop edits rather than "real" gameplay, as no other screenshots of that game can be found anywhere on the net (and whoever made them, don't ya think he'd post more shots/info to make it seem more authentic?). Or maybe that hack actually DID exist & was playable at one point, but his computer crashed so all the info was lost before he can get it out, leaving us with what could've been...

oops i actually prefer the color schemes in those rebirth shots over the hoaxvania's. that sky background in rebirth is totally better than hoaxvania's though. i mean the hoaxvania's is just PITCH BLACK and a moon, unless you count those flames. but i dont like like red-yellow, black, and grey as a color scheme. (o ^ o )

that second rebirth shot is just terrible with its use of background elements though~

d-dont get me wrong though, i prefer the hoaxvania shots to the rebirth ones.

Wow, are people really that young in these forums now? They haven't heard of the Shin Dracula X hoax?
Lol, I'm getting old.

I know, right?
We're so old and decrepit.

I had a chance to see them when they were up, I was just commenting on the IGA-haters (which is funny since IGA probably would have been involved in the project if it were real) that jumped the gun on saying they were better than anything he had done.  The screens were good if I recall, and unfortunate that they were fake.

That's really too bad, it was probably the best CV hoax.

But yeah, it does make me feel very old.

[Gunlord]

Pardon my ignorance, but...I haven't heard of Shin Dracula X either. T_T

[Koutei]

真 (Shin - True, Not New) DraculaX was "fake image joke". of fan site in Japan.
It was obviously written, "fake".

Someone exposed it to an English site.
(The person might not have been able to read the word of Japan)
The joke image has changed in quality to a malignant lie.
It was not a situation for which the author had hoped.
To avoid confusing, the author deleted the image.

[thernz]

oh, that's pretty interesting!
also, gunlord makes me sad.

[shelverton.]

If I remember correctly, the Shin Drac X hoax went so far that it was published in a swedish gaming magazine in some kind of "rumour" section. Or maybe it was in the "News" section even, lol! I'm gonna see if I can find the magazine.. I believe it had the screenshots and everything.

[Sindra]

Oh wow...that *is* old. I remember that shyte from way back in the day.


Can't believe it was referenced, actually. O.o
