Oh they have a surprise for us alright.
And I have a surprise for them.
Am I the only one who honestly thinks that Konami has nothing planned for the 25 anniversary of Castlevania? If they did they would have announced it many months ago instead of waiting till July to talk about it. And even if they do have something planned it will be either a rom dump for the Vita/3DS or another compilation album.
Might as well just cut our losses and hope for something at next years E3.(click to show/hide)
C'mon, Konami, you're hiding something. You just can't let us down (again).
I'm pretty sure they've proven they have no problem with letting us down several times. I'm not trying to be resentful (though I am), but it's just based on their recent track record.Yeah. Plus the TGS is our very last chance to get something for the Anniversary. After it'll be too late.
I'm giving up hope.
Rest in peace Castlevania.

I'm giving up hope.So, they don't release anniversary project and you consider series dead?

There is no logic, nor meaning in this.
It's sad that Konami probably will not create anything to celebrate that great date, but by any means it doesn't mean cancelation or otherwise end of the franchise.
So, they don't release anniversary project and you consider series dead?No, I consider it dead because Lords of Shadow was a giant let down and the only thing we got this year was DLC and Harmony of Despair, all of the above were incredibly underwhelming.

Dead was an exaggeration on my part, but it's close enough to the truth whether you want to admit it or not. Metal Gear and Pro Evolution Soccer are Konami's top priority.
I dont understand why people are so surprised of this.I'm not. Seriously I'd rather see Konami not celebrating this anniversary , if all they're going to give us is some lame game like HoD or a soundtrack.
I just love all the hate Harmony of Despair has when the "Haters" probably Clocked at least 50 hours in total gameplaylol, for some reason, i was thinking the same thing when i was reading all the hate HD's been getting.
Whaaa whaa its a disgrace, whaa whaa there was no story, IT WAS FUN DAMMIT, STFU!
lol, for some reason, i was thinking the same thing when i was reading all the hate HD's been getting.
Though right now, i wouldn't mind getting that game right now, but a different game would be nice. Then again, i'm one of the few people in this forum who hasn't played HD at all so it'll kinda be a treat for me (i lack a 360).
An anniversary game would be nice, but if all we're getting is HD for PS3, then its best to savor what we get, though the only people that will actually enjoy it are the ones that haven't played it at all, like me for example.
I just hope Konami rebalances the characters in the PSN version Since Jonathan pretty much becomes useless when richter was released because he was so hard to lvl and didn't have much to make up for it.It'd be much better if they just have him use other weapons aside from the vampire killer, that'd probably make him more unique compared to the other whip users. Sure he'd probably be similar to soma in a way, but only in terms of equipment. Plus it'd be nice to use the whips unique to jonathan, and in a way they can still have his VK power up through leveling up sub weapons (since that's how you power it up in this game)
I just love all the hate Harmony of Despair has when the "Haters" probably Clocked at least 50 hours in total gameplay0 hours master race reporting in. Will not... wait... never buy it.

I dont understand why people are so surprised of this. I remember reading that IGA didnt knew of CV 20 anniversary when he was doing PoR (Though he did made up for that next year with DXC Chronicles)

Dead was an exaggeration on my part, but it's close enough to the truth whether you want to admit it or not. Metal Gear is Konami's #1 and only priority.
Considering how much Mercury steam believes there game is a tribute to the classic Castlevania'sSince when? from day one it was "Forget what you knew about castlevania". From the start Cox was trying to make his own CV vision, not a tribute.
Master Race? sounds like compensation.Lurk moar.

COX said [MercurySteam] wanted to pay homage to the classic games, but they didn't want to be a slave to them. Which is why they chose to copy Shadow of the Collosus instead(?)
So different it's pretty much unrecognizable as a Castlevania game except "Ooo, vampires!"
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Could there be any chance that Konami will add more to that line-up list, or do you think this is all they'll be presenting? I know surprises can happen, but it looks unlikely. Usually they'd want to tease the hell out of something like that.
SURVEY SAYS
Yes.
You think they're stupid enough to blatantly lie outright?
What do they mean with "line-up", exactly? Does it refer to all the games from that are shown during TGS? Does that also include new announcements? Because if annoucements are not part of the line-up then I'll guess we could hope for something after all.Finally someone with the common sense.
n-not that I want to give you guys false hope or anything but you never know
Producers have more dictation than the Director, Remember that!
Please Learn a little about business production before bashing the director, a lil 101 on film would fill you in on the important stuff.
So that would mean that they pretty much lied about having a 25th Anniversary tribute to Castlevania, based on them saying a month ago that they were going to have something.It was off the record. They didn't make an official announcement, so it's not like they lied.

I don't have friends interested in playing it . Add to that it's a complete rehash of the previous titles.I might just as well play all of the metroidvanias.Plus I'm not even sure if I'm able to get it.And yes I haven't played it and prolly never will.

I realized that if you stop trying to categorize LoS as a true, traditional Castlevania title and view it as "Castlevania:The Movie:The Game," it becomes a lot more easier to enjoy :D
Number-one answer.
*clapping from audience*
No. Producers are the "this is our schedule" and "this is our budget" people.
Games are not films. I think you are the one that needs to do the learning before trying to correct people.
Where exactly were you while this game was being created? Kojima only oversaw the project while Cox had final say it's been stated many a time. Mind you I recall my Games Design lecturer saying something about Marketing having more power than the producer with certain decisions.
Oh & Hey there is a reference to Zelda in LOS, does that mean Miyamoto made it too? :rollseyes:
but Explain how a concept originally Started to be a Simon's quest remake with many classic tunes and no dracula Belmont Turn into LoS about half way in

and lets face it, Hollywood probably would've done a much worse job at adapting Castlevania than MercurySteam (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v119/c0mbat/laugh.gif)
Or Konami's indecisiveness about whether Mercury Steam was making a Castlevania game or not could have easily made them decide to just make their own IP regardless of Konami's final decison.From what could be pieced from Cox's interviews it is the most likely scenario.
BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIIIIIGHT areas, especially for a game called Lords of SHADOW.So CastleVania never had BRIGHT, BRIGHT , BRIGHT areas before? :o
