Agh, i was coming to put it in the forum right now xd
Yeah, looks impressive, i'm looking forward for it (just like Judgement)
I only hope that the designs are not jus Kojima's generic Artworks.
Variety! i want Variety!

looks like alucard
-
Or Hector!!

It looks like Alucard to me. He seems to be wielding a glowing sword(like Isaac in CoD). Looks cool. Interesting that IGA's already aboard on making the NEXT GEN CV game he's been constantly saying he's waiting on. Hehehe, so much CV goodness. OoE is coming out not long from now. Judgement's on the horizon. There's the interesting Arcade rail shooter, and the SotN Radio show that follows up the events of Alucaard's quest and sheds more light on WHAT exactly happened after SotN. Who knows, if that IS Alucard in the PS2/X360 CV game, it oculd be set around the time of the Radio Show(remember, Alucard's missing during the Radio Show).
-
Hmm. Is IGA in charge of all these games at the same time? It's starting to feel a little ridiculous. But nevertheless I'm excited about a true nextgen installment in the series.
EDIT:
Lol, I tried to translate the title of the game and found;
Castlevania: Waltz, the stage of the Prophet (Waltz)
EDIT:
Someone said the characters in this game are Alucard, Richter, Maria and some new guys named Cyril and Alexis. If it's true, then this is indeed a sequel to Symphony of the Night.
-
ムービーの内容は「漆黒の闇をまといし呪われた血族、同族を裏切り父親を滅ぼした、呪われた宿命――」
The movie is about "the bloodline that has been surrounded by darkness and curse, betrayed his own kind and destroyed his own father, the cursed destiny"
This is the rough translation i tried. If it is like so, the man is ALUCARD indeed. So a SOTN remake or new game? Im tired of his old costume.
-
That is SO Alucard.
-
That really looks like Alucard. And the translations sound like it's him as well. Glad we're finally getting our PS3/360 title. ;D Maybe THIS will explain why the Belmonts can't use the whip. If this game turns out to be a sequel to SOTN and Ritcher was suppose to tbe last Belmont with said weapon...
-
I only hope that it will not be a 3D game.
-
If this is indeed a direct sequel, it would be oh so cool if the game started off with the final battle from SotN, just like SotN had Rondo's final battle :D
And I bet this game is 3D. Unless it's some downloadable XBLA och PSN thing.. maybe running on the same engine as SotN. That would, in my opinion, be very disappointing :( I want NEW stuff.
-
it's most likely the 1999 game we've been waiting for,
Alucard wouldn't return so early after SOTN unless it was
the time that the Belmonts (Julius) were able to use the
whip again.
-

It can't be if what shelverton said about the cast of the game. He/She said that the cast includes: Richter and Maria. Which means that it would either have to be a remake of SotN or a sequel. In all fairness, I would like a SotN sequel. It would shed some light on why the Belmonts can't use the whip, assuming that OoE doesn't.

If it does then what's the point of the radio drama? :-\
-
wow, i finally have my excuse to buy a PS3.
it's way interesting that the cast is pretty much identical to the SoTN Radio Drama, especially considering the vampire hunters Cyril and Alexis are in it.

I hope the artist from the radio drama will also do the art for this game.

In Reply To #15
I think you are right. The Radio Drama seems to be the prequel to this game the way the manga was the prequel to CoD.
-
Oh man, I hope it's a 3D remake of Symphony!
But I doubt that it will be
Is it possible its from Lords of Shadow?
Also doubtful.
Regarless, it looks awesome and I can't wait to see more and more info

you can't really see shit on that picture, so i tried to make it a bit more visible
(https://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fserio.piiym-net.com%2Fimage%2Fal.jpg&hash=e9e8b78ef467326f978ad28b92be3e7870b105f7)
the glowing red sword doesn't look like anything al ever used. if it's really him (well it certainly looks like it) it might be a sequel. perhaps a game form of that radio drama thing, where alucard supposedly goes evil.
Im tired of his old costume.
when the alternative is something as lame and faggy as judgement, the old costume is better. at least it's consistent with the previous design unlike judgement which has joachim cosplaying as alucard. :D
-
Wow. Look how dark that image is. Is Alucard a black person or what? (Not that I have anything against black people). And what is up with that stupid looking sword? It looks just like Isaac's from Curse of Darkness. Can't they do anything original? Holy shit this game is going to suck big fat testical sticks. Alucard with his old costume? God. I'm sick of seeing this fag, why not bring out someone new for once? I fucking hate Castlevania now. This game sucks. I'm not buying it.
Ignoring what I wrote above: I really like what I see.
-
HOly crap, I was right about the connection to the radio show! I only guessed, but considering what we know and how Alucard looks in that picture(most definately him), it IS likely taking place "then". This will likely explain WHY the Belmonts can't wield the VK whip. Pure awesomeness!
-
IGA must be pretty confident about this since it's a SoTN sequel and all.
-
This is the game I've been waiting for. Ecclessia will tide me over, Judgment isn't worth buying a Wii over, but if this truly is a sequel to Symphony, I will be in Vania fanboy heaven.
. . . Then again, for all we know so far, it could be another fighting game, which would make me sob bitter, bitter tears.
-
it'll be probably cod 2.0
why would iga develop two fighting games in a row for an action game, one with crappy designs done by a retarded monkey, another with what looks almost like sotn alucard?
-
I kinda hope it is the Radio Drama, I'd rather play the game than listen to it. Honestly, the Drama could just have been a marketing trick, so that parts are excluded from it, so people have to play it in order to get the whole story.
-

Why not? There can be a very good 3D game. Why wouldn't it be 3D anyway?

if you develop two identical products, one that looks like shit, another which looks like gold, but they function the same, which one do you think people will go for, and which will be a financial disaster that could get the developer fired?

I only wish they would've waited atleast until Judgment & OoE were released to announce this project. I hate it when they rush & try to make as many CV games as possible.
Other than that, I'm fascinated to see how this turns out.

As much as I hate them, I admit the value of using emoticons to express sarcasm in extremely short-form writing on the internet. That said, my original post should have read:

I've been waiting and waiting (as have all of you) for a next gen CV game and here it FINALLY is! I have held off on buying a PS3/Xbox for many reasons, but one of the reasons is that I was waiting to see when a new CV would be released. So I am super jacked about this...and if indeed it is a SOTN sequel, then that's even better.
Question is, if it's an SOTN sequel, how will they explain Drac's resurrection this time? That is, if he's even in this game...

without them, you simply cannot display sarcasm accurately over the internet. your post looks as if you genuinely believed that. :o

Then again, for all we know so far, it could be another sports game, this time with alucard in it :P
Then again, for all we know so far, it could be another arcade slot game :P

etc. :o

I wonder how it will turn out.

It's Final Fantasy-itis= announce a shitload of games that will, basically, be released within a five year period! When was FFXIII announced? A couple years back? It's only now that we are officially getting the names of the characters other than Lightning(the characters from Versus being Noctis and Stella, the girl known as Nomchan is Sarah). FFIX, X and XI were all announced TOGETHER. Seriously, IGA's taking a hint from Square.

Dear level design,
Please don't suck.
Your sincerely,
Shelverton.

Dear Game,
Please don't suck.
Kthx,

Dear IGA:
Please make this game with a God of War level of quality.
This is your chance to redeem yourself! No more excuses about the hardware not being powerful enough!

This is getting even better than cinema!!
-
I'd hope its the 1999 game, but...Alucard in 3D? I think I just came. I will also Lol over that quote crisis. I have all 3 consoles but I'll clearly get this on PS3.
-
They are releasing the movies that are CV3 and Trevor based, what if it's a CV3 remake?
I'd be extremely happy.
I'd be happy with a SoTN Sequel or remake as well.
I am just thrilled there will be a PS3 game for Castlevania and Alucard seems to be in it.
-
I don't think I'd EVER want SotN remade. I mean, you don't remake a game that's aged as finely as SotN. That game is STILL beautiful by today's standards. It's one damn fan 2D game!!
-
I'll get the PS3 version too. Now, THAT'S a console that knows when to shut up. My 360 makes LOUD NOISES. Like, it's cooling down and stuff like dat! My PS3 seems to have no cooling fan whatsoever, which makes it hot like hell, but quiet as a mouse :D
One of these days it will set the house on fire...
-
The hero of this game is Toru Hagihara. He's about to destroy his own kind (IGA staff) who betrayed him.
-
Any news on a possible release date? 2009? 2010?
-
For those who don't understand how drac can be in this game if it is a SotN sequel, you should remember that only five years passed between RoB and SotN, with drac in both. The fact is that drac can be revived by his minions if there is a human sacrifice. The 100 rule is only relevant in regards to him resurrecting "naturally".
In other words, if drac's minions don't resurrect him within 100 years, he will resurrect on his own. However, as far as I know, if he is resurrected by his minions, he will lack his full power at first. So, based on this, he is stronger when he resurrects "naturally".
-
My thoughts on this has something to do with the Radio Drama and just Alucard himself. Perhaps displaying an Image of just himself probably means that the game is about him and his life. This will probably go into detail about how Dracula found Lisa and perhaps some other plot holes in the cv series about Alucard that wasn't explained.
If thats the case then I will very much like this game if it also had either 2d or 2.5 or God of war style.

In other words, you think that this could be sort of like "A History of Alucard." Kind of like what was done with the DBZ character Trunks.

Actually, Dracula doesn't revive on his own. He still needs to be revived by someone, but the 100 years thing is only when he gains full power. His cycle hasn't been interrupted either due to the amount of time he's been alive outside the cycle.

So, if that's true, how many times have we actually fought him at full power?
-
Trevor, Christopher, Simon, Richter, Quincy, and Julius all fought Dracula at his full strength, each 100 years apart from the 1490s through 1999. There's still two full resurrections without a game, Quincy Morris's and Julius Belmont's, and a lot of the games they're coming out with now are all about building up to those events.
-
Wow this year was the year of Castlevania games, One portable, one fighting game and this one wow. Is their a date for this one?

Shanoa could also be the first non-Belmont to fight Dracula at full power.

This won't be an SoTN sequel because Alucard goes to sleep after SoTN and making it a sequel would invalidate the game's ending.
It won't be the 1999 game because chances are, we'd be looking at Soma or Julius (or maybe even Hammer ;) )in that picture if it were.
It will most likely be 3D because it's going to consoles and that's what the trend seems to be these days.
-
Shanoa could also be the first non-Belmont to fight Dracula at full power.
Shanoa DOESN'T fight Dracula at full power. From what I recall hearing, OoE takes place sometime in the mid-1800s. The year isn't specifically given, but it's around then. In the 1800s, Dracula is ONLY at full power in the year of 1897. Hence, the events of Bram Stoker's Dracula tell the story of the battle against Dracula at full power. Of course, CV's version WILL differ, but it's Quincy who will be the one to face Dracula at full power. I'm guessing, since IGA stated he'd love to make a game about these events, Quincy will kill Dracula with the VK, and not the bowie knife.
This won't be an SoTN sequel because Alucard goes to sleep after SoTN and making it a sequel would invalidate the game's ending.
The SotN Radio Drama most likely retcons Alucard going to sleep. Also, who's to say he DID go to sleep? Talk is cheap. Maybe he PLANNED on going to sleep, but other things came up, which naturally delayed his slumber.
-
In the good ending, Maria goes after Alucard so who knows?
-
Why do people expect this to be SOTN remake? Enough with remake. We already had like few more than 2 castlevania remake. No need to make another castlevania remake.
Anyway, I hope this new games will be less COD. Less repeative like you seen in Dracula castle in COD. WE WANT PURE ADVENTURE/ACTION castlevania game!
-
the only real problem with CoD was the flat environments,
it had 1/4 the amount of platforming even LOI had. yeah
it's tough to have platforming elements with a 3-D camera,
but Ninja Gaiden Black showed it could be done pretty decently
(and for the record, Ninja Gaiden 2's level design is garbage compared to the first one by Tecmo.)
-
Trailer:
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41242.html
-
After i seen the trailer, i am 99% sure that it was Alucard in 3D and he was cool looking!!
-
I don't think there's any question about it, it's definately Alucard. Interestingly enough, did anybody else think the way the sword appeared in his hand(actually, how the sword looked, as well) seemed a bit like Shanoa's glyphs? It reminds me of that red glyphic sword she has in all the artworks.
-
I am curious if this game is labelled as an Drac X title in jp because the previous ps1 and pc engine titles are heavily connected to one another.
-
IS Alucard
I curse you, IGA!
-
Alucard is EVIL in this game. The vampire side in him awakens. Cyril and Alexis must stop him. For a bit.
-
hmm i'm sure what to make of it, i almost feel as if konami has been spying on my homemade game :p but it gives me little to no reason to purchase a ps3, theres only one game tempting me on that move so far, lol
and yes Konami is now just "whoring" it out faster then ever
-
Alucard is EVIL in this game. The vampire side in him awakens. Cyril and Alexis must stop him. For a bit.
But if he is evil in this game, I would think that vampire hunters, other than the Belmonts, would be trying to kill him rather than save him from himself. Besides, even if that is true, in AoS and DoS he seems to be under control. Plus in SotN, his vampire side is awake. How else could he use his vampiric powers?
Most likely, the story of this game is about Alucard struggling to prevent himself from losing his balance between his human side and his vampire side.
-
In Reply To #67
Think of another possibility of why he looks that way.
Perhaps he has a brother that wields the red sword or this might just be what I said earlier which would be the history of Alucard.
-
Whatever, this game is clearly about Alucart! He's pissed that he never got as much attention as Alucard. Now he's going to take his Alucart sword and kill his father Tracula, once and for all destroying Casdlevania.
-
Who knows? Though it probably is Alucard, maybe that's a Belmont who is unable to wield the whip.
-
If this were a character with the exact same coat, gloves, entire outfit, with the same hair and looked just like Alucard, but wasn't, it would be ridiculously dumb, and I'd be pissed off
Also, Alucard has a flaming sword in Judgment.
-
^Lol Nero, anyone?
That doesn't look like a flaming sword though, it looks like materialized blood. Which I think would make more sense, if anything made sense in the first place.
-
Perhaps it has something to do with his Dark Metamorphosis ability from SotN? Or the Marsil? Could just be a new power/weapon that we know nothing about yet. Doesn't have to be anything particularly ground-breaking.
-
In Reply To #75
That'd be hot. Dark Metamorphosis getting a sword out and sucking blood through it. Reminds me of Soul Reaver. I'm looking forward to this in any case. Been waiting for a nex gen CV since I bought me X360.
-
No way that's a new Belmont. Definately gotta be Alucard. His eyes glowed red for a second in the trailer...no human can do that.
-
I'm guessing this will take advantage of Alucard's vampiric urges and make you switch between good and evil or you are good but certain things in the game encourage the vampiric urges and you must stop them or something like that.
-
Whatever, this game is clearly about Alucart!
-
Honestly guys, any of you who actually think its not Alucard...something is seriously wrong with you.
-
Two other thoughts
Shaft is still alive which might have set another orb around somewhere which makes Alucard look evil.
the 2nd
Alucard just turns evil at some period of time and takes his father's role as the substitute for the dark lord.
-
In Reply To #81
In the drama, he starts giving in to his vampiric urges. This must be based on that.
-
lol why doesn't he give in to his sexual urges for Maria instead? ;D
maybe the memories of Trevor kicking his ass haunts him to this day. ;D
-
Maria...... sigh. He's a soldier man, being able to resist tappin that.
-
Much like Blade when he sometimes gives into his vampiric urge but thanks to his serum he won't have to do that.
Hmm... seems like IGA's got something in mind.
I hope this fills the plot holes to some of the sv history.
-
I wonder if ridding Alucard of the bloodlust has anything to do with the Belmonts loosing the ability to wield the VK. I'm thinking something like Alucard biting Richter, or Richter using his blood to seal away Alucard's bloodlust. Take the curse into himself, or something. IGA wasn't kidding when he said he would find some way to explain why the Belmont's have to forfeit their right to wield the VK until 1999. At the least, I thought he was going to approach it through a manga, but it looks like we're getting the real deal. I hope IGA pays this much attention to the 1999 events(whenever he decides to address it).
-
In Reply To #86
Richter tainted the whip while he was brainwashed.
-
To this point, that's still fan speculation. IGA never stated that as being a fact. It's an easy answer most of us came up with to explain the Belmont's giving the whip to the Morrises in the absense of a TRUE explaination.
The fact is, I believe it was in a PoR interview(from Nintendo Power), IGA stated that he planned to address WHY the Belmonts couldn't wield the VK in the future(the "future" being "sometime after the immediate time the interview was given and after PoR's release"). Because he said that, it's only more reason to believe there just might be something more in store to the whole deal.

well since Alucard is evil, Maria Renard should be the main character for this. but yeah depends how long after SOTN it takes place. :P

If this turns into another CoD or MetroidVania, I'm going to have a bad case of Castleroids...
(IGA reportedly said he didn't think Konami would announce this so soon. I have a feeling it's MORE than a year away from being released. If IGA can't get 3D right this time, I think the outstanding 3D Castlevania many have been waiting for may never happen).

Shaft isn't still alive. He died in RoB. In SotN, he is a ghost.

His ghost form is inside that orb.
Can't he make a duplicate?
-
Alucard kinda sent Shaft's spirit in the darkness anyway. I'm assuming he's stuck in Hell at the moment.
-
Oh, man! I hope we get to play as Richter again. Richter and Alucard: Round 2!
-
Alucard, Maria, Richter, Cyril, and Alexis are all potentially playable characters in this game. Not a bad roster. Plus, we haven't seen any Belnades/Aulin/Fernandez family members yet in this time period, so I'm wondering what they're up to.
-
so the only thing known so far is this little teaser with alucard in it?
I'm going to guess this is a downloadable title for the ps3/360.

I was watchn this on youtube and someone translated the picture words in a post, not sure if any one else did yet but here they are
1st -He wears with him a jet black darkness and a cursed blood line,
2nd- He betrayed his kind and destroyed his Father
3rd-And with him is a blood stained fate
4th-PS3/Xbox360 Devil Castle Dracula
So yea, looks like Alucard might be evil in this one.
-
Alucard must remember that while there must be a Dark Lord, HE does not have to be that dark lord.
-
I hope Alucard does the right thing
-
i wonder, could the red glowing sword symbolize something more than a random weapon.
i mean, what if there'd be a plot point where he gets consumed by his vampiric half's lust for blood (like how soma's consumed by hatred and darkness after the other half of his soul finishes rejoining him if you die to final boss in aos).
even if it was just temporary, with alucard regaining his senses once he's defeated at one point it could work i suppose, and if it's a sotn sequel it'd continue sotn's idea of "hero of previous game is a villain here."

Do you mean die and never appear again in a CastleVania?

I've seen people attempt to translate the trailer, but I have a complete translation that has something at the end, that the other translations don't have:

2nd on screen text:
"He betrayed his kind and destroyed his father"
3nd on screen text:

Awesome news
Jeremy Parish of 1up.com said he knows a reliable source that Iga pitched two ideas to Konami either a 2d hi res castlevania game for 360/ps3..
Or a Sequel to Symphony Of the Night in the vein of the 3d zelda games.
Its prolly going to detail why the belmonts discarded the whip...he says.

What does "in the vein of 3D Zelda games" mean? I haven't played them, but to me that sounds ike "in the vein on the Castlevania Nintendo 64 games". What's the difference? Castlevania 64 with more role playing elements?

Zelda 3d..
heavy on adventure, and vast locations..
I'M HOPING.

Definately the second choice. SotN sequel! Though if it's handled like a Zelda game, it could be awesomeness.
-
well, we can't blame Iga for not trying to get a hi resolution 2d game. maybe it'll happen the next go-around?
-
If by "in the vein of 3D Zeldas" they mean "without flat-ass CoD hallways", I'm all over it.

not too long after Legacy of Darkness came out and while waiting for Resurrection to be released, I had a great next-generation Castlevania dream. i remember being by a fence by some tombstones in a courtyard outside the Castle's front gate and marveling at the realistic graphics and atmosphere of the game and scanning my surroundings. of course, this was a dream, so I was actually inside the game, more like as in Hack.slash.
but anyways, i've been hoping for a high resolution 3D Castlevania that stirs up wonder like that ever since then. i hope this is that game. the game needs to be slow in pace to get the right feeling, not adrenaline pumping like the PS2 games. i don't think playing as Alucard would lend itself well to getting chills in a game, but I think playing as a trembling Cyril getting his first taste of the horrors of going up against Dracula's castle would.
-
At last! The game I was waiting for. I accept your apologies for Judgement, Mr. IGA.
-
Watching the trailer, reading the translations and most of the posts- I have yet to listen to the drama, I will have to check out the radio drama threads.
My guess and reasons.
-if the rado explains/negates this sorry!!
Alucard is evil- he goes ape shit...for the same reasons we have been given and shown-
Dracula- they killed Lisa b/c she was consorting with a Vampire-> this started Dracula/Hectors direct assults and war with mankind-and drove him to go beyond eternal living, into somehow getting himself a self-ressurection every 100years etc
Soma- killed his woman = he flips out and lets the soul of dracula consume him turning him into drac/the dark lord
soo...sorry Maria, your dead tehy crazy towns-folk are ganna burn your fine tight ass- that + mom flashbacks = pwn evil alucard
even more awsome would be it was a ruse, a cult used maria as a sacrafice to rez drac- piss alucard bring dad back = win

I bet that Werewolf and Minotaur are gonna have some fun with Maria. If you know what I mean ^^
-
i would like to think that Maria could hold her own, but she didn't seem to do so well against Magnus in the audio drama. maybe one of his goals is to kidnap her and offer her as a sacrifice? when Shaft first captured Maria in Dracula X Chronicles, he was marvelled by her power. i bet he did think what a great sacrifice she'd make. but then again, he went after Richter next, not Maria. guess it could be plan B

Maybe not. IGA is more than concerned about the suckness of those games. He talked more than once about his frustration with 3D, so he probably will be assisted this time. Besides, I'm sure Konami is wise enough to not allow IGA to make a bomb of a next gen 3D Castlevania game starring fan favorite Alucard.
-
In Reply To #132
Yeah. Symphony of the Night and Alucard are what put IGA on the map. If this one doesn't have a larger improvement of fan reception compared to LoI and CoD, it could be his downfall.

That's not it. Well, I can only talk for myself here, obviously. I don't think something awesum will come out of this, BUT I will give it a chance. Maybe it'll be a great game and if that happens, I'll gladly take my assumptions back.

Dracula X: Chronicles had a 3-D intro and cutscenes, so there's no reason to assume that the gameplay of this new game will be 3-D. If the guy from 1-UP had a reliable source that a hi-res 2.5-D game is 1 of 2 options; then there is a 50% chance of that happening.

Yes, I totally agree with you
but, yeah everybody needs to calm the fuck down. People here get way too bitchy and argry about every little thing

Well, I for one want to see 3-d done right. I'd enjoy a 2.5-d game as much as anyone, but we all know IGA has a chip on his shoulder about how well his ps2-vanias went over. Also, consider the negative buzz surrounding Castlevania FRAUD. Fans Rage Against Unfaithful Designs, other gamers are confused by the fighter premise, while the gaming press has yet to give an encouraging review about how the game actually plays. All this may be impacting the direction this new Alucard game ultimately takes. I'm almost certain this teaser was shown just to give the fans some red meat.
-
Anyway, it's not really 50:50. It's just that a fully 3d game is waaay more likely on ps3/x360.
-
the fact IGA is toutching SOTN in any way can be 3 things
1: just natural for plot reasons leading to the 1999 game that we all know is going to be (we hope) the orgasmin culmination of all things CV
2: useing SOTN as a crutch knowing the past 3d venues have not been good...the n64 are in the air as good/bad but imo the n64 ones where more CV than CoD and LoI- but I do love those 2 games for their story telling of the CV line.
3: is going to give us something worth of the SOTN legacy for the "next" (yet current lol) gen systems
as for the story, I think my guess is good- I still belive after SOTN Drac is giving up his war vs humans- alucard finaly got thru to him about his mother etc- we have yet to see a natural ressurection of drac after sotn (1999 right?)
-
In Reply To #153
lol. Drac just gives in on the whole war against humanity thing, having learned from the past and wants to lead a peaceful life with his son, then Julius shows up and finally kills him. That'd be tragic.

You could be right about that.
At the end of Sotn Drac pulls a dr.wily(oh im soo sorry) and vanishes. Then after that Alucard gets pissed some how. Maybe due to Dark Lord Rage? Wasn't there a Castlevania where someone said that there would always be a dark lord or something?
-
AoS and DoS states that there will always be a dark lord of some type.
I always get a feel that sometimes Drac does not act like Drac- the one with personality SOTN, Bram Stroker, LoI etc-etc- sometimes Drac is just a shell and generic vampire guy
Anywho I think there will be something that happens to bring Dracula back into a major piss-off war with humans- because the script and events of SOTN still, to me point to Drac stopping his full out desire to destroy all humans- Bloodlines/PoR and OOE are all after SOTN and before 1999 right?- they all are summons- in PoR drac just was like "arr...i am...evil...arrr...die..." and he did not show up till the end- Brauner was really doing the dark lord shiz- however bloodlines he was kinda out to pwn people, but wasent most of that brought by his neice who summoned him.
This new game showing us events after sotn should shed some light on the events after sotn obviously and hopefully onto the reason why belmonts are not at large till 1999 and cant use the vamp killer
I still think something will happen to maria just like lisa and somas gal- i think it also will somehow end up being tied to a drac ressurection- giveing alucard fule to turn evil and be a villan for a game/part of the game, and also then bring him back to wanting to fight his pops/stop him from wageing war.
The belmonts are to be cursed somehow- I think alucard will be involved- this brings me to think somehow belmonts will be involved with takeing out maria or whatever event pisses alucard off- prolly not richter but the main whip weilders cannot be the only belmonts around.
but...this is all made up nonsence till we get any tidbit of info plotwise
-
I sense a time paradox.
-
I always get a feel that sometimes Drac does not act like Drac- the one with personality SOTN, Bram Stroker, LoI etc-etc- sometimes Drac is just a shell and generic vampire guy
That's a rather nice idea. After SOTN, having been told that Lisa bade him not harm humans (and perhaps also realising that Lisa herself was human, so his logic had been somewhat flawed for 300 years), Dracula gave up on his war with humanity. Until 1999, he was just a shell; a vessel, perhaps, for the powers of darkness. His soul was not fully in his body.
Therefore, in OoE (which I haven't played yet so no unmarked spoilers please), LoD, CV64 (they ARE in the timeline now, right?), the novel, Bloodlines and PoR, Dracula isn't quite himself. Now, having him as something of a mindless monster doesn't quite gel with his extremely verbose nature in the novel (seriously, when he's talking to Harker in the castle, the guy never shuts up). But, then again, in the novel, he seemed to be more concerned with making new vampires than usual - perhaps he had decided that instead of killing humans, he would give them immortality?
-
In Reply To #159
In the begining Mathias obtained Walter's soul and made it his own. The characteristics in Walter was just to play games and do bit of evil. Mathias just has strong feelings.
But I don't know if this is the reason why Drac became evil again after being soft at the end of sotn.
There must be other reasons.
-

Actually, if the novel takes place in 1897 (when it was published, although it's possible that if the novel exists in the Castlevania universe then the events described in it took place earlier than that), then it's a natural resurrection (SOTN is in 1797).
About the centennial resurrections: it doesn't seem to be consistent. Dracula was defeated in 1476 (CV3), was prematurely revived in 1479 (CoD) and then rose again in 1576 (ADV). This seems to indicate that he resurrects 100 years after his last defeat after a natural resurrection, and that any premature revivals don't matter.
He is defeated again in 1591 (BR) and rises in 1691 (CV). THIS seems to indicate that Dracula always resurrects 100 years after his last defeat. Of course, it's possible that Dracula was not defeated in ADV and was not put down until BR.
-
Incomplete resurrections don't seem to matter as far as the century thing is concerned. Dracula only seems to be at his strongest during the century resurrections, and it's only then that he can be revived through his own remains without it being botched(CV2 and HoD). Other times, it seems like he needs outside help, especially through vessels, to resurrect(for Bloodlines and PoR, it seems that the World Wars were helping in some way).
Here's how the century resurrection thing is happening:
-1476(first death)-1576(full resurrection)
[1479's events don't seem to effect the full resurrection.]
-1576-1591(Dracula wasn't killed in CV Adventures, just wounded. He escaped in the form of mist, and returned to kidnap Christopher's son many years later. It wasn't until Belmont's Revenge that he was killed by Christopher.)
-1591-1691(full resurrection)
-1691-1792(Full resurrecton)
[1698 and 1748's events don't seem to effect full resurrection. In both cases, Dracula tries to possess his own remains and ends up becoming a sorta wraith-like being.]
Now we are up to the part with SotN. I don't think it's meant to count as a full resurrection, and call it a hunch, but I don't think Dracula will full resurrect in 1797. If anything, it depends if IGA will go by the book, where Dracula was already around during that time. Hence it's possible he could've been resurrected years before, 100 years after RoB, 1892. The significance of 1897 is still that Dracula is defeated(at full power) and will rise 100 years later in full power(1997). That leads me to believe that it will take him three years to call forth all the armies of darkness, and when that's complete, the Demon Castle War will happen in 1999, the Belmonts will show up and the final battle will happen. It's just a theory.

i'd laugh if it was just sotn in 3d, altho i still dont think they'll get the 3d gameplay good

I see IGA didn't comb his hair that day. :P

The video mentioned he defeated his father twice, so it can't be SotN all over again, it has to be after SotN.
-
In Reply To #166
I don't think he's ever combed it out since he started wearing the hat.
-
Whilst I really like the idea of this being a sequel to SOTN - thus making a Dracula X trilogy - it's also possible that the trailer is the first of several for the 1999 game.
Perhaps they're initially releasing "character" trailers, with brief descriptions of the various individuals who take part in the battle. They could have started with Alucard because he's the most easily recognisable (the others would be Julius, probably a Belnades, possibly Mina's father, and probably Saint Germain).
-
It seems to be rumored to be called: Signs of The Last Age or something:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMdenJTC07c&watch_response
I think it'll be a Greater 3D game than all of them, I personally loved all the 3D Castlevanias especially Curse Of Darkness and Legacy Of Darkness.
-
Yes, I agree... Definitely gotta be Alucard in this game, no question.
-
now i'm wondering, it could be a sequel to sotn, like said above making dracual x a triology, as what was done with the original series, so i'm curious now
-
"Signs of the last age"? That's almost setting it up to be a prequel to "Lords of Shadows", which is said to take place in the "end of days". Wouldn't that be something??
-
umm, didn't eeguh already say that this game will be centered around the events of the radio drama--i.e. SotN 2?

i think it's alucard, i was looking at OoE at gamespot and i saw over the lower right of the navigation was a picture of 3D (looked like an action figure) Alucard and labeled near it is "SOTN 2" could there have been a reason that alucard be replaced by his own game? :D since that we can't afford PS3 or 360 i won't be able to play alucard :(
BTW,
any release dates on this?

While a SOTN sequel is likely, the lower right on Gamespot pages is usually for user submissions. And people make things up. A lot. So there's nothing official yet except for the teaser trailer.

well if that's so, i really believed it was alucard or it was just his action figure, seeing CV Judgement players looked more like action figures so what i so maybe wasn't really true, but really is there a reason for alucard to be replaced? :( or maybe they'll find one?

I know that Squaresoft made an similar event two years ago (or was it one?) and it was closed-door too, and the press was not allowed to publish any information in about 2 months, so, if it's similar this time (What is propbably true, because it's impossible that there are no news of ANYTHING about KGN, so suspicious) and we had to wait 2 months for any information, there's nothing to worry about, because the E3 is in 2 months :P

Lack of Castlevania aside, I cheered over the news of a Wii Silent Hill. :3

Maybe it's just me, but I don't expect any new Castlevania PS3/XBOX360 news from E3. I thought I heard the CG trailer was released earlier than IGA would have liked, and so I expect the game's a long way from anything presentable. Again, maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking this Castlevania is a 2010 or 2011 release. (Unless they're going to whip out something quick like Curse of Darkness or Judgment that is. Because, unless IGA's team is going to reuse PS2 models and textures, it seems to take a while to set up a next-gen framework in a big way). And myself, I'm hoping it's not TOO Alucard-centric. I want to do some serious acrobatics in-game with the whip for once.
-
It won't suck honestly if he does want to spend more time on the game. By all means, if it will make it better, then I say go for it. Another trailer would be nice though, I'll admit.
-
Well, I guess if they aren't ready to show it, they aren't ready to show it. I'd rather have them spend time on a game than rush the living hell out of it.
Besides, Wii Silent Hill. And Bionic Commando, which isn't Konami, but it still looks godly and is out in May!
-
I'm glad they're not presenting anything right now. The more time they take, the better, as far as I'm concerned. So long as they use that time wisely.
-
Though I certainly wouldn't advise Konami to rush the game at the expense of the programming, I also wouldn't necessarily say longer development time automatically equals a better game.
Look at Resident Evil 5. They took four years to deliver that game, and while it is a good, enjoyable game, it's also short and relatively forgettable, and feels, despite its extended development time, to have been rushed and underthought.
And then there's Chinese Democracy. . .longer just doesn't mean better.
I'd like to hear more about the game, they don't have to announce a release date yet or anything, but some early screenshots, some character art, even some concept renderings would help stoke the fanbase.
-
Well I got a PS3 in hopes of a new castlevania, maybe a new ZoE and the final fantasys along with blu-ray that I am enjoying very much! as well as playing my PS2 ish on a HD screen and not looking like poop.
Then I got a PSP b/c my wife saw Castlevania X chrnoicals and FF:Tactics on sale for 10$ new- so she got them and then said "Well I guess you have to get a PSP now" as both of them along with FF7:CC where 3 games I really wanted but could not justify buying them at 35$ each and then 200$ for the psp...althought in the end it was a trick as the day after I got my PSP she was like "oh look the new DSi is out...ppllzz baby"
anywho- after playing Drac X chrnoicals...I dont know if I can accept any more non 2.5d games- they did imo soooo SOO well on this, the visuals in everything where outstanding- I want a SOTN and AoS/DoS remake in 2.5d now IGA NOW..
and of cource the ps3/xb new one also! woo woo

Castlevania could benefit from more production time I mean both SotN and PoR were cut short because of production time. RE5 while excellent is still riding on what RE4 did. the only difference is co-op (the main reason for this game to exist) and a few weapons like the Hydra(best gun ever wielded Dante style).

After the lackluster showing and reception of Judgment last year, I wouldn't blame Konami for being more cautious this time.
That said, the sooner the better, because I want a new CV. :P
Maybe they will make a surprise announcement about it soon. On the other hand, they did work on 4 Castlevania related titles this past year. So maybe they need a bit of a break. From what I hear, IGA's team rarely takes any.

To be fair, Judgment was severely underrated. Everyone bitched about Maria looking like Misa Amane and never even touched the game. Even the reviewers likely hadn't played it from what I've read, especially that idiot Adam Sessler.

No kidding. Judgment was actually a very decent game. Definitely refreshing.

My main hesitation with getting Judgment is that I (personally) do not own a Wii. If it were ported to the PS2 (something I really, really doubt will happen at this point), I'd be all over it, just for fun. My chief complaint from what I've seen of it is that it isn't 4 players like Power Stone. And that Motorcycle Skeleton isn't playable. :(

It's funny that the ending of the trailer says "in developement". I still believe this is getting made. :-X

well, they did say Iga was working on other Castlevania things besides HD, but it seems like he's thinking more of turning his attention to the 3DS after this. but doesn't seem like he doesn't know what he'd do for 3DS yet, and with HD pretty much finished, he's gotta be working on "something" actively, which might as well be this game. we'll see.
