Topic. If I need to add something let me know quickly.
-
You forgot to add "Extreeeeeeeeme" and "Why isn't Bomberman picking up his phone? I hope he didn't get into an accident."
I thought about the MGS-funding for Castlevania, but it seems the only way to get that is for the game to also have Kojima's insanity as well, so...
-
Thanks for absolutely nothing Konami, and Lords of Shadow blows. I can't wait to see how you butcher Contra next with the upcoming reboot.

Luckily for Contra, Cox and Mercurysteam have nothing to do with the Contra reboot( though he wish he did.)
-
LOL, All of the above! I would've loved to see the choice, "Die Konami, you do not belong in this realm!".
-
Can't vote since all of the above seem to fit the bill.
-
Lords of Shadow wasn't that bad. It just wasn't a real CV game. Well, there are a few rough edges and I would do a few things different, but I like it. I am disappointed that we didn't get something for the 25th anniversary. Let's face it, Konami couldn't care less about CV now. Probably why they outsourced it to Mercury Stream.

Then vote for all of them.

While I am disaapointed the wasn't anything I am happy for ps3 HoD.
I'm willing to hold out for TGS but after that there is no hope. What a shame

This is pretty much how I feel too. TGS might be a little too late though, if we want something this year. Konami seems to love releasing the games in October and with TGS is September, that gives practically no time for marketing. Then again, Konami seems to have forgotten how to hype any of their non-MGS franchises.
-
I'm just baffled by CV's non-status at e3. Konami acted like they wanted to revitalize the franchise with LOS...bring a bigger fanbase in. Konami says they're pleased with its success (despite zero marketing). Then CV reverts back to redheaded stepchild status now that E3 rolls around. Wouldn't be so concerning if it wasn't the series' 25th anniversary. I just want to know what the future holds for the series.

I still think an AMAZING HD-sprite remake of the first game would have been a great way to celebrate the 25th anniversary. But then again, there hasn't been a great remake of the first game and probably never will be. :\
I have a new homebrew job to take up.
-
What had me with hope was that Cox kept saying via Twitter that "his team had nothing planned." Which lead me to believe that perhaps the Japan studio or IGA himself had plans to do something. Guess not.
So wtf were all those rumors of 3D modelers being hired for a possible 3DS Castlevania? Poppycock!

The only reasonable explanation for not showing a game in development, is if it's in the concept stage. Meaning even if there's something going on, it won't be ready this year and the Anniversary is still screwed. And about Cox... Let's not put to much stock in what he says --he obviously got ahead of himself talking about the QTEs.

COX: "There will be no QTEs, because I feel they take away from the action." i lol'd
I still overall believe there will be another announcement of a CV sometime the rest of the 7 months we got of this year. Doesn't hurt to dream. And yeah, even if it is announced, we might not get it til next year.

Werewolf
This.

KONAMI, Castlevania death in the E3 show, will set you to wonder all over the world with miserable little piles of foolish games for the rest of your existence!!!
-
Werewolf
Agreed.
I heard IGA is working on some Kinect based XBLA puzzle game.
Konami and Capcom, see me in my office after class.
-
Capcom and Konami: Two of the laziest and thick-headed game developing companies out there. What a shame.
Also, I voted 1, 7, and 8 because who knows if they'll recycle sprites in another DS game, plus I'd rather not much have a PS3 HoD port for the 25th Anniversary; that's just being lazy.

Add Square Enix to the mix and you got the Triforce of fuckary.
-
Haha, Square Enix. They irk me so much, I'd rather not comment on their massive fuckery, should I go into a rant. LOL.
-
I don't think Capcom's as bad as Konami; they are releasing SFIII Online Edition so I'm happy about that :D
-
That's good news. LOL. I just wish they didn't decide to reboot DMC, and have the producer model Dante after himself.
-
Capcom is also working on Mega Man Legends 3 after 10 years, whereas Konami has yet to make the Demon Castle Wars... so...
-
Yes, that speaks volumes. It's about time Capcom finally started listening to their fans, and to top it all off, the game is actually including fan-input.
Konami, you should be ashamed.
-

In all defense to DmC, at least the gameplay looks boss and it's not a reboot. Also his hair turns white and coat turns red during some sequences. Hell, at least the DMC team is actually putting out a game (though it is mostly run by Ninja Theory).
-
Guys
do you remember that trailer of castlevania sotn sequel ? when they said at the very end of that trailer "in development" ?
why don't we wait and see ?
but OMG they didn't told us if they're still working or they canceled the game XD

I'm pretty positive that game was canned. I heard somewhere that it was only a tech demo, but I don't really believe that. Well, if they do have that in store for us, then I'll be damn happy.

LoS Japanese site IGA interview
http://www.konami.jp/castlevania/jp/official/voices/index.html (http://www.konami.jp/castlevania/jp/official/voices/index.html)
Interviewer: I heard that you working download version Dracula now.
IGA: "I'm now working SOTN port (PSN (PS3 and PSP) ver is December 16 2010 in Japan) and Harmony of Despair."
IGA doesn't say "now working PS3/Xbox360 Castlevania".
-
lol the trailer was made for the SOTN port (huh?)
-
Not sure that's what it meant.
-
Capcom is also working on Mega Man Legends 3 after 10 years, whereas Konami has yet to make the Demon Castle Wars... so...
The project is not even gree-lited. I would not be surprised if they make everything and Capcom refuses.
-
Interesting, I thought this project was dead.
-

Who knows? Maybe the game will actually be good. I'm most likely going to be giving it a try. LOL.

That would really suck if that happened. Then everyone would hate Capcom even more.

This. I didn't think I would change my sig again so soon.

Best comment i have read in here, so far!!! ;D

I think the correct word would be fuckery, IMO.

If only CV was as popular as MGS...;_;
-

I dunno... MML3 still hasn't been greenlit, even after all the development and artwork and enemy design cocktease. Since Inafune's gone, it seems more like the game's being held for ransom with the Prototype $2 demo determining whether it sees the light of day, while dogshit like the new "Devil May Cry" is allowed not only to go on unchecked but also be a shitty tie-in to a shitty movie.
-

That's all Konami cares about anymore....anything with Hideo Kojima's name on it. Look at all the awesome stuff Nintendo is doing for Zelda's 25th. It's a damn shame Konami just doesn't give a fuck.

It's not unusual for a company to care more about their most popular series. Like with Nintendo, the Mario series seems to be... suckish, lately. So Zelda moved up in the ranks. It's just like with Konami, how a good majority of that masses seem to not give a flying (expletive) about Castlevania, though it does have a bigger underground fanbase than Metal Gear.
-
The biggest question of all, though - what will WE do about it?
We're the core fans. Are we just going to sit around bitching about it, or are we going to get up and make our voices heard by Konami? Start a petition? Star a whole campaign? What do you think would help to have Konami hear us beyond dollar signs?

Thing is, I don't think Konami's really gonna give a rat's ass if we do anything about it. Remember that Castlevania Resurrection petition? How many signatures did that get, thousands? They didn't really care.
But it doesn't hurt to try. We could get a petition and if we send it out to every Castlevania (or Konami in general) fanboard, we could get enough signatures for them to at least consider it. But that's just me. I'd be all up for it.

I agree sin we should do something about this bs, they went on how they were rebooting castlevania and made such a big deal about rebirth and resurrection and every word that could possibly describe the revival of a beloved series, hell even I was on board the wagon but after seeing what LoS has done to the series and seen how Konami has pretty much took a shit on the series I am officially pissed.

I'm going to smash my collection to fucking pieces.
stay tuned...

I'll take your copy of Rondo if you have it, Crisis.
But honestly, I do believe that you have a right to bitch if you've actively done something to try and right the wrongs on your part. If the community makes no effort to at least attempt to reach out and give Konami and the heads of CV the heads up on how we feel, then we really are just a bunch of pissy whiners if all we do is complain with no action. Even if it does get ignored......we have to at least TRY. Then at least the rest of the gaming community knows we give enough of a shit about our own fandom that we exhausted own efforts to the last. Then that'll REALLY make the Konami heads looks like assholes, and we all know how bad press can sometimes influence.

I agree with this whole-heartedly. Anyone wanna start a petition for a new (not remake) Castlevania? That actually fits in with IGA's timeline? And preferably with IGA in charge. I'm not willing to let Castlevania fall into American hands and have them screw up the series for me. We should take charge and convince Konami!
I already sent them angry emails but they were ignored. ^.^

Personally I dont care much for how IGA handled the series either.

That was my personal preference. As long as its someone in Konami who knows what they're doing, I'm fine whatever way. ^.^

Any name can be American. I could have the Frenchest sounding name, and live in Brooklyn, NYC. Names are irrelevant.
You listen to his accent and you tell me if that sounds American to you.
He is just as European as Mercurysteam.

54% agree ----Give us HD Demon Castle War on a home console NOW!!!
54% agree ----Dracula is NOT a Belmont --you fools!!!
43% agree ----Dishonest marketing is bad for business...
37% agree ----What is a profit? A miserable pile of paper!!!
35% agree ----What happened to all the love showered upon DS owners?
32% agree ----I don't know. My mind was recently violated by Konami...
27% agree ----Forget 3D Castlevania --you ruin the brand each time you try!

These.
The more I've been thinking about it lately...the more I think that Castlevania may be on its way out - not due to quality issues as much as complete apathy on Konami's part. A 20th anniversary only yields gifts of china... a 25th is regarded as a silver anniversary. Konami's idea of silver is cut tinfoil, since they're too busy spending the money on MGS to toss the real silver to the CV fanbase. Sad, really.
And Sindra is absolutely right. WE definitely need to take SOME kind of initiative in order to make our stance known, because the way it's going right now, CV is headed for disaster. And even if Konami doesn't hear us...we'll shout louder.
(Also, I do think that Capcom is a little bit more receptive towards its fans, but that's been dashed as well thanks to their announcement that Ace Attorney Investigations 2 won't be released in the US... >_>)
EDIT: Crisis, pleeease don't smash your collection - at least give me CVIII, Belmont's Revenge, Legacy of Darkness, and Dracula X... the only 4 remaining now that I got Chronicles!
-
We must do something to save Castlevania. LoS was great IMO, but we don't want to see our beloved series become the same re-used clusterfuck of sprites or a series of Pachislot games.
(And yeah, Crisis, if you really plan on smashing your collection, send me at least your soundtrack collection.)
-
As much of a lurker i am in this forum, i agree wholeheartedly with the petition...
Count me in for it, and i will do my best to spread it with my fellow cv fans in here.
Lets do it!
-
I thought for sure they would do something big for the anniversary. The fact that we got nothing at all is ridiculous (DLC does not count!).
I care so little now about LOS I didn't even notice that the Resurrection was already out until today... Please Konami, find a competent developer if you can't do this in-house. This is my favorite game series, please don't strip it of its soul or kill it.

The fanbase could certainly send a letter of rebuke --I might even volunteer to write it. But this needs to be done in such a way, that Konami recognizes our legitimacy and takes the complaints seriously. If the criticism came from a more credible, official source (say IGN for example) that would at least get their attention. Although I believe the Dungeon is a force to reckon with in Castlevania circles, we hardly have that kind of influence over the general gaming populace. Besides, I don't know that the administrators of this site would be willing to take up the mantle to rebuke or otherwise petition Konami in such a way...
