I don't care if music is chiptune, orchestrated or Norvegian black metal, but I really want it to be more melodic.

Most of LoS' score is orchestrated ambient music, but pieces like "The Final Battle" or the Main Theme of LoS (that have more melodies) are really cool.

But listening to this, perhaps Araujo could make a simpler soundtrack, like he did in Scrapland
timecode music scrapland ost
Scrapland - Ending (HD)
VGM Hall Of Fame: Scrapland - Welcome
I've been watching some videos of this game, and man these guys are great at graphics, I mean, it's a 2004 game. I'd be glad if the 3DS game loked like this.

This is why I have no issue with Araujo. He's a talented composer with the ability to compose multiple kinds of music, and on top of that, we know Cox and MercurySteam are aware of the fans and what they are saying. With that combination, I think we could get a really bang up Castlevania soundtrack out of Araujo.

If I remember correctly, the Kid Icarus: Uprising music was orchestrated. Perhaps we'll see the same with MoF.

Seeing how it no longer takes an orchestra to get orchestrated music, I wouldn't be surprised if we do.

There's also Masahiko Kimura, co-composer of DoS, plus that guy who composed for some of DXC and OoE. Both of them were good.

And there's always hope that Yuzo Koshiro will come back.

Koshiro has quite possibly the smallest catalog of any other Castlevania composer when it came to making music for the games. I think about 5 tracks, all from Portrait of Ruin no less, are all he's ever done. Of all of the composers, he seems the least likely to be brought in. Yamane, Ichihashi, and Kuramochi seem like more likely candidates if Araujo is not doing the music.

Certainely Ichihashi or Kuramochi. They did the most recent ones (HD, etc.) and Yamane left Konami after OoE.

It would be absolutely nuts if Mercury Steam and IGA were working on MoF together. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it was happening. 2D Castlevania is IGA's forte after all.

That would certainly be interesting, the end result could be quite good.

That's valid, but I mentioned framerate being worse originally too. I'm saying the actual graphics look fine, it isn't a 360/ps3 that's rendering this. This was made with those systems in mind....

My main point was the castlevania game for 3ds was BUILT from the ground up for the 3DS, that's the main difference.
That's the problem. The game was delayed, A LOT, and they promised the same game on all platforms. Guess what? The 3DS version sucks (BTW, the problem with the image are the simplified backgrounds and enviroment, the vines are almost just a line; muddy and blurry colors and low, very low resolution). The Vita and Wii versions are identical to the PC/PS360 versions, INCLUDING the 60FPS. If they couldn't do that on the 3DS, I prefer them not releasing there at all.

The whole IGA+Cox thing is  actually what I've been WANTING since a WHILE now. The presentation of LoS was top notch. A collab between IGA, Cox and MS would be godly.

Igarashi + Cox?  Hmmm....

Honestly I think producers tend to take too much credit for their teams' work, but that's the way of the world I suppose...

If I understand the rumors correctly, Mercury Steam is in charge of developing these games.  So even if Igarashi is somehow involved, it seems his Akumajo Dracula team is not.  Perhaps Igarashi would be a figurehead much like Hideo Kojima was for Lords of Shadow --it would be a smart PR move to placate disgruntled fans.  One thing is for certain --we need to get some hard news.  I get the feeling half of what we're reading here is speculation...

I just want this to hit a home run konami. I means is it odd that I want these games to sell well over a million copies, get a front cover on magazines like gameinformer, and have long ass commercials and stuff.

Yep, it's now or never. Konami, this is your chance to make Castlevania sit atop with the most important franchises.
A WiiU launch title will give them an advantage, and God knows that if this "CV in ALL platforms" is real, this will be the most important release in franchise's history.

Everything comes full circle
