I'd take a pachislot any day of the week over more Lords of Shadow bullshit.
Alright another Castlevania game that nobody wanted!Amen. All those wasted graphics, would it be so hard to of done a next generation 3D Castlevania in the veins of LOS with the original graphics. I'd take a next gen 3D Remake of Dracula's Curse any day!
Can't wait till Konami announces the Castlevania Tower Defense game.
I'd love to play a Pachislot game on the bus on my iPhone or something like that.
Really, dude? You would love it? As in you would like it so much it would turn into an affection that would overpower a desire for a..I don't know, an actual Castlevania game?It's kind of in line with Castlevania Puzzle. A normal Castlevania game just makes a terrible game to play on a smart phone with a touch pad. Plus, if I'm out in public like on a bus, it'd be kinda nice to play a more "passive" game like a slot machine, where all you do is press the same button over and over again at your own pace, rather than an active game, even like the puzzle game, that require more frantic movement. Of course, it'd be a little annoying to have a stranger looking over my shoulder during an Angela fan service scene.
good. Now half of this Forum can STFU now they KNOW that the classic timeline is still being developed.
A pachislot machine proves that?
the fact that they are making a new castlevania game with trevor is.
it still means we get a new cool soundtrack.Well, while most of the tracks were recycled, the new ones are usually great so I guess this will be worth the wait, even if it's just for the soundtrack.
I can't say I'd take a glorified slot machine over a solid action adventure game. Even when you factor in the Castlevania name.
This saddens me.... especially because I loved CVARebirth on Wii.
I just wand CV: The Arcade ported to Wii. Why can't I get that!?!?!
Pfft? Wii? They'd have to downgrade the visuals. It'd work better on PS3 with the Move. :P
I'd take a pachislot any day of the week over more Lords of Shadow bullshit.Borderline form of fanboism? :rollseyes:

KoJ sure hasnt.
Hideo Kojima, If you were forced to make an original story without borrowing from movies you wouldn't have a career.Still MGS is far more known, profitable and popular than Castlevania in the last...15 years or so.
Fanboism of what exactly?Of old formula(s) / story to the point that logic is completely evaporated.
Ok. You can have fun with your pinball machine, ill go back to my videogame.As of right now, we don't have ANY announced game to look forward to. Happy frickin' Anniversary, Castlevania. 25 big years and all Konami has to show for it are DLC(LoS), online bash hash(HoD) and pachislot III. :rollseyes:

Man, there's a lot of Lords of Shadow hatred in this forum, Jesus. Lighten up, guys. Lords of Shadow is an alright game.
People just cant handle the idea of someone taking artistic license with the object of their fanaticism and changing it to something that's different from what they know and love.Not true. I think many CastleVania fan's do just that. Ever read the Castlevania comics? That's just one example. But Konami always teasing the US market with failed attempts with subpar media that just has the CastleVania name stamped on it? Leads me to the question are they really listening to their core marketbase? Or did you "like" Castlevania Judgement...

Since then every character named Snake has been endlessly rambling the same shit "war is hell" and "the horrors of war" for hours and Forced messages just makes someone who pays attention to the now assinine story punch a wall.I have my gripe with MGS4 stoyrline as well, but it still was much better than your average game story. And I think it's hot Kojima's fault that he stuck with MGS franchise for so long. Konami wants money and they charging him to create more and more games in the series. I believe he couldn't do much about it except for quiting Konami, but I think paycheck is large enough to keep him from it. Not sure how I would do if I was in his place.
Pachislot is not the old formula nor does it have much of a story. It might not be an actual video game but at least it captures the essence of the Castlevania series, which Lords doesn't, period.Essence of Castlevania? In gambling machine? Because it has some random CGI cutscenes thrown together from material lifted form previous games? Wait, WHAT?!
Also, just because I don't like the new direction Lords is taking doesn't mean I'm conservative and I don't have an open mind like you like to shout for some reason.I think this statement contradicts logic of the previous sentence of yours.
It seems more to me like an act of inadequacy because you don't like people think lawds is an embarrassment and betrayal to the Castlevania fanbase.Yeah, surrrrrrrrrrre. Because another Castlevania game created from bits and pieces of SOTN, ROB and other 2D recent Castlevanias is so much better at being glorious entry in the series with new and interesting gameplay and storyline that doesn't stumble over it's previous parts. Ha-ha-ha.
So if anybody is being a whiny fanbrat here, it's you. Most people here don't like the shitty reboot. Deal with it.
Not true. I think many CastleVania fan's do just that.Amount of fractions in the fandom with their own opinion about how Castlevania should be tend to disagree with you.
Leads me to the question are they really listening to their core marketbase?Their core marketbase are not longtime fans of the franchise. So they tend to do what they feel is right at the moment. Not that it saves them from the mistakes like CVJ.

Or did you "like" Castlevania Judgement...The comics are either drawn in a Kojima esque style, or in a more comic book style, but still following the classic timeline and adhering to it.
nagumo,
why do you like trevor belmont going around with a fanservice dancer in painfully bad cg scenes that undermine the integrity of castlevania's essence just as much as los
where is the essence of castlevania in this, the aesthetic the series is known for isn't even showcased properly here
if los had pachislot's aesthetic, with trevor and angela and all, i still wouldn't call it much of a castlevania pfft.

What the hell are you talking about? I love how you instantly make this a debate about Castlevania games made by IGA. But that's not even what this discussion is about. I'm also a fan of the pre-SotN games. And uh, I still think los fails as at being a Castlevania.It's should be obvious why I am talking about IGAvanias here - there were for the most part repetetive and copypaste expirience, unlike most of the past games in the series. For me, games starting form HOD are low point of the series, not in the gameplay for the most part (AOS, DOS and OOE were very good in that department), but in the art and story direction.

Do you really think that some gambling machine, that reuse assets, music, doesn't have proper story and gameplay, could be better representation of the Castlevania legacy than full-scale game that took some liberties with art and storyline, that apparently doesn't match your nice and fluffy idea of what Castlevania is?
but that has nothing to do with anythingYou asked - I explained. Just normal dialog.
I don't care if it's a gambling machine, or if if reuses music, enemies, whatever, at least it still has the flair that made all previous games unique and interesting, and is not a generic piece of crap.It's basically like saying that if Konami release a toilet paper with art from SOTN you will consider it a worthy of Castlevania name, because it has an art of the series. And Alucard. In the center of a roll.

So having image of the Trevor and some music from the past games in the gambling machine makes this machine by default as good and interesting as past Castlevania games.
It's no wonder that with such "fans" (or should i say "fanboys" who couldn't accept anything beyond they "dream!Castlevania") the series curently in a quite shaky state.
damn you david cox i'll get you for this
An example would be how the skeletons in the old ones chucked bones from their rib-cages
god, LoS haters complaining again...
Quite a few creatures got more attention than they deserved --Ghouls and skeletons are far more powerful and intelligent than they deserved to be.
I would prefer Castlevania to have a solid canon timeline rich with legacy that also contains stand-alone side stories here & there, as opposed to reboot-after-reboot or new game=new world, ala Final Fantasy or Zelda.

Sypha? (probably)Or, She may be another person.
She may be another person.
it just feels so much like her blonde hair, blue clothes, and sacred giftstotally. of course, i thought the same thing when I first saw Angela. she was all blue and white and magicky, that i thought for sure she was Sypha. but i think it really is her this time. and assuming it is her, this'll be the first time we see a 3D version of a robed Sypha, quite nice. good to see 3D version of Symphony-style Alucard too.
heh, it'd be kinda sad if the 3D Alucard model was recycled from the PS3/XBox360 Alucard Castlevania game that never came to be.

All i can say, is that so much potential with these 3D models, is going wasted on a Pachislot game!!!
heh, it'd be kinda sad if the 3D Alucard model was recycled from the PS3/XBox360 Alucard Castlevania game that never came to be.I'd love that. At least the assets would be used somewhere. Though I think this Alucard's design differs a lot from the PS3 teaser.
What's with Alucards hair though? This is in the past and it looks like he's going grey!It's just platinum blonde~

Another Side Note:I think that's unrelated to Death's art work. That's called "Comical Skeleton" in P's Realm. I don't know official name.
Looking at more videos from Pachislot II. You know that little skeleton that sits on Death's shoulder in his artwork for Symphony of the Night (Death Jr.?)? It looks like you get to fight him.

Where is Grant?
The demon seen in the trailer was probably Leviathan.I think that Demon is CoD Dracula's second form.
He wasn't attractive enough. Lol.OMG
I think that Demon is CoD Dracula's second form.COD Dracula was more green, but yeah, it is certainely Dracula.
They should throw in a recycled and updated Sonja from Castlevania: Resurrection while they're at it. Trevor could be like "Mom???".They wouldn't do that. Sonja's CG model reeks in comparison to these. They'd have to totally re-render her face so she doesn't look like a horse. They'd actually probably make her, well, hot(like she was in Legends). ;D
Yeah , I am VERY impressed with Syphas design. It is spot on for how she should look in 3d."I really couldn't tell you were a woman all this time, Sypha. Really."
ACTUALLY THERNZwell you do play as them and she was drawn rather manly-ish in the official art. so why not. there are more points suggesting she looked like a man than not.
It was never really implied in Castlevania III that the other characters weren't aware of her gender. It was kind off meant as a suprise for the player, but there is no evidence that this was also the case in-game.
I guess they reused the Alucard 3D model from the canceled game for this.
I have no idea if somebody already said that, as I'm shocked that a slot game has nine pages of discussion.
why does nagumo always spell the word "of" with 2 f's all the time

ACTUALLY THERNZYeah, we don't know what Trevor thought, or how long he knew she was a woman officially. But the end of her story in Judgment did confirm that she actually did enter Transylvania disguised as a man, partly because of all the witch burnings in the area. That actually cleared up some stuff for me. I had thought she had pretended to be a man the entire time she was under the service of the church and was then shocked to see she wasn't really hiding it in Judgment.

Hey, I can be optimistic, can't I?

On another note, it would be cool if this game was actually a preview of the next big Iga game to come out. Maybe they're just waiting until the Lords of Shadows sequels are done before making the game. Hey, I can be optimistic, can't I?
On yet another note, I'm hoping to see some good ole classic Dracula's Curse bosses. Maybe instead of cards randomly being selected to determine who you'll fight, a coffin will randomly open, and out will come a Cyclops, pair of Mummy Men, or a Leviathon?

Maybe this is some adaptation of III, but restructured to fit the scheme of the other two pachislot games? If so, where's Grant? Poor dude seems to always get the short end of the stick nowadays...
Grant is the one who appears from time to time to girlishly flirt with Trevor and do seductive dances for him.
Someone had to take up Angela's mantle.
what's Skyrimday?
The website launches on Skyrimday.
just in case you didn't know.
How did I miss this thread? Just saw the teaser. WOW. It has Alucard in it...Its just a pinball variant. Theres no actual gameplay involved. You can probably just find the cutscenes on youtube.
I wanna play this game .

can't wait for akumajou dracula kart !Sounds like sure fire better idea than a Pachislot game. At least you can get creative there.
That's the day Elder Scrolls fans(including myself) say goodbye to our loved ones and the last remnants of our social lives.

Konami trolling old fans of the series?This whole year has been one big Konami trolling event. It's like they said, "Hey, for CV's 25th Anniversary, let's just fuck with the CV fans and get them all mad, because, y'know, it would be FUNNY AS HELL!!".
Keep this up Konami!! 8)
P.S.
Dracula's face looks fat a bit.
Still no Pachislot III site, but now if you go to the main Pachislot series page you can open a new Pachislot III trailer with streaming lag that makes the video completely unwatchable.
I have no idea why they didn't just make it be a Flash video.
First off you ROCK for posting that on youtube. Wish it was 720p.
Second. People were right about that Alucard being like the one at the TGS2008 trailer he's wearing a completely different outfit from his SotN trailer. He's still not exactly the same as the Alucard at TGS though.
It wasn't me who posted it. I just searched for it on Youtube.
And yeah. But did you also notice that his hair is much shorter than it's supposed to be?
We don't know if the Pachislots are canon, so. . .
Succubus is there, again. I hope they do something creative with her, three times is a bit much. I'd rather see a possessed Julia at this point. Curse of Darkness hardly had any female enemies in it that they could pull from. Harpy is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. They could use one of the Fairy type Innocent Devil's as Alucard's Fairy familiar.I like LoI's design of Succubus as much as I liked SotN's design of Succubus, but I think they are overusing LoI's design a little too much. If they can create original characters like Angela(and Dark Angela), and give us new detailed models of Alucard and Sypha, they sure as hell design a new, third Succubus design. They did that with the CoD comic(they had a Succubus that looked different than LoI and SotN's). I feel the same for Death too. They keep on using his CoD design, which was my least favorite. Bring back the old Grim Reaper that isn't mounted into the ground, and that actually flies around with a scythe and hood.
Maybe we should be glad this isn't a normal CV game, lol. Doesn't really look that great after watching this:
パチスロ【悪魔城ドラキュラⅢ】演出動画 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MkNy7qRc8w#)
Some of it looks okay, but most of it looks "meh". I'm guessing these are all of the cutscenes? I really don't know. But. It's stupid that Konami is recycling everything...again. Oh wait, never mind. This IS Konami we're talking about. Of course a ton of stuff is going to be recycled. Including some of the music and that Alucard/Trever fight scene that looks waaaaaay too much like the Judgment battle between Simon and Alucard like Koutei pointed out.
And wow. Grant gets like 3 seconds in the game in 8-bit form? Nice, Konami. Nice. :rollseyes:
That scene Trevor Vs Alucard is straight out of CV judgment he did the hand thingy and attack in the air like simon did and the forest as well.(Note to self read before posting) Guess I was just a bit too slow this time. Yet why not be a cv game I can just imagine this with some more polished graphics and good gameplay it would be a hit a 50-60 frames per second cv with all new remixed music and the ability to unlock old ones, actual platforming and a whole bunch of other things that current action games can't hold a candle too.
At least it has boobs and Dracula's second form is fantastic!!!
They are so trying to turn Sypha into this game's designated Angela-equivalent cheesecake character simply on the basis of her being the chick. And it is so not working.
