Atleast Ayami Kojima had a chance to practice her artwork which is very prunyuuu~

I don't understand why she didn't use her art from Dracula X Chronicles for Maria? I guess she was trying to make her look like she did in the original Rondo of Blood, but I kind of like the DXC Maria best.

hell no.  DXC Maria was terrible art that made them look like a ghost that was revived using Hellman's mayonnaise, their eyes are weird, and the clothes are so stupid and out of place.  The hairstyle isn't as good either.   Almost as bad as Judgement artwork of her, but bad all the same. Harmony of Despair Maria is the best and most authentic Maria artwork she ever had.  Richter's new art should follow that example.  Stay true to the original design instead of the DXC version.

man, dresses and unbound long hair sure fit more for fighting!
...i do prefer hod maria's face more though.

also, the remixes are well, the instrumentation seems to worsen with each music pack. uh.

Heart of Fire sounds like a high quality version of my version... 'cept the part with the actual "Heart of Fire" is kinda dull-ish.

Personally, I don't find the music to be that bad. Is it our typical CV quality music? No, but still not bad.

Some of these remixes in HD I don't care for, but there are some I do like. From this pack I like the Heart of Fire remix (More like Can't Wait Until Night remix since it has the Haunted Castle part in it, but whatever) and the Aquarius remix.

Bad remixes.
I am not against rock remixes of the CV music, but HD make them really uninspiring and boring.

If anything I like the art used in this "videos". Where I can find it? Or it is just some Photoshop?

The music piece titled 'Slash' has never translated well in any of the games that came out after Rondo. It's just one of those classic early 90's anime-like tunes that can't be redone in a different style without messing it up. They shouldv'e just used the original.

Is there really no people online?? ???
The remixes are ok.
Did anyone tracked down the Wiprush albums??
They are like the hardest thing to fight on the web.

Wow. Those remixes are kind of sad... I can't imagine paying for that.

I hadn't seen that image before. Its amazing how not even Ayami Kojima can redeem Charlotte's atrocious design. Then again, her art here is far from her best.

I feel like the people who actually want to play it can't cause they don't have 360's. Or at least this is my problem.... :(

Actually I really liked "Slash" when it was used in Castlevania Judgment.  Have you heard that version?  I thought it was pretty cool.

I've never really been a big fan of Slash, it always surprises me just how much they use it. I do like the Divine Bloodlines in this, that always a favorite of mine. But I do like these remixes, its nice to see some classic CV tunes in HD

I like the Judgement version of An Empty Tome better, but this HD version will also do. :P

I like the Heart of Fire mix. Makes me want to buy the game right now, set up an all-Julius match and...

EDIT: Holy smokes, that Theme of Simon arrangement is actually... tasteful?
this is not the HoD i know

Wow I...I actually like some of these. This is a pleasant surprise. :)

EDIT: Wow I actually like ALL of these, what a very pleasant surprise indeed! Well, actually, Slash is pretty terrible. Oh well, 4 good mixes out of 5 songs isn't bad at all!

Simon's theme sounds pretty bad-ass

I did listen to judgement's soundtrack, but I really wasn't impressed with it. For me personally, RoB's version was the best.

I really liked this new batch of HoD remixes. The OST had some good mixes and new stuff, but this one so far sounds great! =)

A Castlevania HD remix of Wicked Child would be amazing!   ;D

Clearly you haven't heard this: OCR01173: Castlevania The Raven OC ReMix [Wicked Child (Outdoors BGM)] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llewpvyxb9E#ws)
I think it fits rather well

As if composers of this "game" haven't butchered enough music from the series... :P

SUPER WONDERFUL!   :o     That Wicked Child remix is great, but I think that OC Remix's weakness is that it "leaves the atmosphere" for too long (2:00-2:42) and 3:30 towards the end doesn't bother to come back to the theme one more time, but it still has its good points!  :D
Between the original tracks and fan remixes as custom soundtracks, Music Packs and in-game ost, Castlevania HD really sounds like a true symphony of the night!     ;D

Heart of Fire is my favorite Castlevania tune. So, I'm always down for different versions of it :D.
