That's no true! I really like Castlevania Legends and Castlevania Resurrection was looking awesome and better than LoI and CoD!!

  Also i like the name Sophia Belmont!

Notice he said Iga. Neither of those were made by him. Legends was by kcen, resurrection by some americans.

Both had kind of crappy storylines, and resurrection also had awful character designs all around. Victor was probably the only one who had half decent design.

Oh, surely you concede Dracula's wife was loads better than anything Kojima could draw.

Resurrection was better from LoI and CoD because it was having more depth and open enviroment stages than LoI and CoD that they have linear stages and that's a major minus for those two. Also i believe that it could have a more intresting scenario.

LoI and CoD= Linear tunnel stages
Resurrection= Open free to explore stages

 Also if resurrection was made with the same graphics engine that LoI and CoD they were made it would have been far superior from them.



















Sonia might not be a canon, but still she is one of my favorite Castlevania characters.

But I thought CVR was said to have just linear beat em' up action when asked about if it was going to be Symphony-esque.

They said that it was going to be action, without the RPG elements from Symphony and what i meant, was that Resurrection is having more open space stages to explore and maybe you could have interaction with the enviroment, unlike LoI and CoD that you were forced to follow narrow path's like tunnel's.

Well, I dunno. There's not much difference from the way those screenshots look and how Sonic Adventure played, which looked open but followed a linear path.
But I'm speculating on a game that for better or for worse never saw the light of day.

Well, the files of the game are in store somewhere at Konami. The only think is that IGA doesn't do anythink for this game or another Castlevania with a female lead character and i believe that he want do that either in the future.

Maybe he can release the remains of Resurrection as an unlockable in some Chronicles game...

Noes. Resurrection is heresy. Keep time-traveling away from Castlevania, please. And ignore that St. Germaine or however the guy's name was that was said to do time-traveling in CoD.

Resurrection was better from LoI and CoD because

Whoa whoa whoa, stop right there! Rezz was never released, so how would you or anybody know if it was better than LoI/CoD? For the very few that sampled the demo, it might've seemed alright at the time, but there have been plenty of demos that played fine but when the actual game came out they were actually garbage.

Also i believe that it could have a more intresting scenario.

It would've been on par with CoD.. Sonia+time travel+tim curry lookalike = suckage!

Also if resurrection was made with the same graphics engine that LoI and CoD they were made it would have been far superior from them.

Maybe, maybe not. I guess we'll never know!

[Aridale]

My female Belmont names:
Gennifer Belmont - said like "again" without the a. Not Gin like Jennifer. Also Aridale's moms name.

Renee Belmont

Ophelia Belmont

all I got atm.

Urgh, those Resurrection screens almost make me want to gag. Sonia, in particular. They could've made her look hot, but instead, she's horse-faced and almost has a unibrow. WTF? The chicks from the N64 CVs were hotter than her, and less graphically polished. That's a MAJOR "WTF?"!! And yeah, all you can do to prop Resurrections up is what you THINK it would be like, but since it WASN'T released, it cannot be compared to games that WERE released. There are OTHER games that were in developement by various companies, that for some reason, were not completed and the projects were dropped. Do you seriously think those games "count"? Unless the game is released, it doesn't count. Right now, strange to say, "Order of Shadows" counts MORE than Resurrection, because unlike Resurrection, it DID get released, even though the character design is just as crappy. The "what if"s just don't count. The "what are"s DO.

[Dark Nemesis]

There was an interview with IGA when he was about to release CoD and the reporter has ask him if there was a chance to see Resurrections levels as a bonus at a future game if not the actual game and IGA has answered him that if the time allow it he might include them as bonus on a future game. What site was i don't remember, maybe it was IGN i think.

 Also from the time that you have vast areas to explore on a game, that count's more for me than graphics. I don't play a game for the graphics, but for what it is.

 So only time will tell.....

Resurrection= Open free to explore stages

Sure. Just give proof for that. For all we know there could be tons of invisible walls like loi/cod that'd make the game just a bunch of linear corridors with pretty backgrounds that make it look like it's "vast to explore" but in reality it's just a corridor which you can't even return to once you beat it.

And hell, those are just few shots, some of them showing corridors. Loi and cod had more areas than that which looked open and vast but in reality weren't. I bet if they only showed screens of those for the games then cancelled them you'd be hailing them as the best things ever because of the "vast, free to explore levels" as well as "story that could be better than X" or "zomg sonia is in". :

In short, the game was not released and cancelled early in production because it was made by american division of konami who didn't seem to know what they're doing (just look at the design for "dracula lady" thing. Even a 6 year old kid could design a better villain), so whatever you say about it being better than loi/cod because of the level design you never even saw is fantasy you try to pass as reality.
