General Castlevania Discussion / Re: And the next remake should be…

Definitely Belmont's Revenge to complete the Christopher duology. Vampire Killer and Legends would be most welcome curveballs though.

They'd probably milk it and make two different collections: one with the N64 games and the other the PS2 ones, each having one of the bastard 3D games (Judgment and, I dunno, Krazy Kart Racing) as a bonus.

It's a shame we didn't get The Arcade on Wii U. HD graphics with MotionPlus controls.

yeah, they seem to be doing” bad” games, so Legends would be a great one to redeam haha.  i do actually want to see a Vampire Killer that runs a little smoother more though.

Castlevania 64, Legacy of Darkness, Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness, and as a bonus Castlevania: The Arcade. They can exclude the Lords of Shadow games because they already received a collection. But would the classics be feasible to all be on a single disc or 2? Would a Switch port be even possible?

What do you all think the next one should be? Personally I would love Belmont’s Revenge, but I think Legends would benefit the most because that game doesn’t have a good reputation (even though I liked it) and it would broaden the appeal of the first and only female Belmont. They can really make some vast improvements & have fun with it.

I still don't agree, this is not about what people do, it's about what they should be doing instead.

Nah, the no hitboxes thing is total bullshit. We're talking Castlevania here, where traditionally everything is whippable. That you can't attack spawning zombies, axes, or tree monsters is crap and slows down the pacing. Castlevania games are usually designed where they're s breeze to run through once you've gotten adept at them, and having to stop and wait for a zombie to have a specific moment you can attack is just bad design.

It's a good effort from M2 but feels rushed and too short, where I wish they would have taken some extra liberties like they did with ReBirth, which is overall a much more complete experience than HCR. It also omits some of the set pieces and weirdness that make arcade HC charming, like the Yellow Devil wall, the harpy warp room, etc. I wish they'd kept that stuff and expanded on it, rather than do away with some of the cool elements that actually made HC stand out despite some of its design flaws.

General Castlevania Discussion / Alucard Shield review

« Last post by crisis on October 29, 2024, 08:09:38 PM »

So I recently purchased an Alucard Shield replica and I wanted to share my thoughts



It’s very sturdy, they put a lot of effort into the details of the shield



It scales nearly perfectly with the NECA Alucard figure that was released several years back


The NECA Alucard isn’t very good as you can see, so I tried placing it with my Prize Collection Alucard statue, which unfortunately the shield is a little too oversized for it


Here it is posed with Maria


And here it is posed with the whole gang (except Richter)



All in all, I think it was a good purchase. I wish they made more weapons & relics from the games.
