I can't believe there's no new castlevania news. nothing official at least. I remember being able to beat one the castlevanias for gba and then read an article that another one was one the way. what happen to the good old days? we seriously need a new 2d style castlevania.
-
It's not what you asked for but, Konami gave you Harmony of Despair.
That said, they should at LEAST crank out some new DLC maps and characters whilst we wait for word on further entries from the series.
-
Looking forward to Castlevania: Birth of the Dragon (PS3/X360)
i was expecting to see some CV-related content released for the 3DS Virtual Console by now

Im kinda leaning on it being called Castlevania: Prince of Darkness.
And im guessing that Konami has reinforced their pipes so that there will be no more leaks, normally we would get something right around this time like a trademarked name or a leaked screenshot. Now we have to wait for them to offically announce something, which is either at their own event or at E3.
-
I'll take Super Castlevania V ;D a proper follow-up to the best damned game on the SNES!
-
It would be interesting, if someone finally dared to make Castlevania 5. But I doubt it will happen. This game must...something awesome.
-
Wouldn't mind a new one for 3DS.
-
I do miss seeing articles for upcoming handheld CVs. Although, I remember thinking OoE looking terrible when the first screens were leaked. Now it's one of my favorite games.
-
yeah, really depressing that we don't have any worthy news whatsoever concerning castlevania

New DLC for Adventure Rebirth.
Believe.
:(
-
I have a feeling we will see something before the end of the month. Definitely by the end of March.
-
Play Dark Souls. Most Castlevania fun you'll have this generation.
-
i think now would be a good time for them to at least give us any of the three Game Boy games on the Virtual Console on the Nintendo 3DS just to hold us over. or i'll take a 3D classic version of any of the three NES Castlevania games. my poor, Castlevania-less 3DS...
-

I've got another variant - Komajou Densetsu 1 and 2 - old school Castlevania gameplay with SOTN-like aesthetics.
-
I can heartily second Komajou Densetsu. Also magical lolis.
-
E3 is our best bet for anything.
I do agree the lack of any real CV news is disappointing, in fact I'm still quite angry about the anniversary; they completely disregarded it in favor of Metal Gear Solid. Absolutely ridiculous, I used to love MGS but now I'm flat out sick of it.
-
I am slowly forgetting about this franchise. The silence tells me that they're working on something really big and epic and cinematic with a bigger budget than any Castlevania before it. And that's exactly what I don't want. As decent as LoS was I desperately don't want the series to move in this direction. There are HUNDREDS of other games doing that already, and they all look basically the same to me. Castlevania always stood out as something different, something with a pretty clear identity. Now I honestly don't know what it is. It screams "ME TOO!" like no other franchise and it saddens me. Ah well...
-
Waiting for Castlevania: Song of Anything for any console anytime soon.

I couldn't agree with you more. I don't want castlevania to go in the direction of LOS only, that kind of game is way too common. look at some of the best and critically acclaimed downloadable indie games that came out in the last few years, a lot of them are takes on the vintage metroidvania style gameplay only not as good. why can't konomi see the niche market for this type of gameplay and continue to produce the game we all love to play?

The answer is simple: Money my friend, money.
That and Konami is clearly stupid.
-
Im kinda leaning on it being called Castlevania: Prince of Darkness.
I'm leaning toward Lords 2: Lords Harder more personally.
-
They'll wait for a VG convention/festival to announce something.
-
Some kind of echo, I presume? :o
-
Took care of it.
-
Now you feel like us Gradius fans feel like, we get something, then BAM Konami pulls it back and cans it.
-
Also, us Suikoden fans say hi and welcome to the nothingness!
Castlevania, Gradius and Suikoden have something else in common too, other than being fucked up and/or neglected. Hmm, wonder what it could be........ *cough*konami
-
I think Goemon wants to join that club.

You guys got that one game with the anime sluts riding around on top of vic viper or whatever..
It was shite.
-
At the very least, we should expect some classic titles to be popping up on the Eshop in the near future. Hopefully we will get 3D Classics versions of 1 & 2.

Otomedius, there's only one thing I have to say about that, it's not Gradius (nor Parodius). I refuse to count that crap as anything, so it's still not Gradius, this one's for the loli crowd. I speak of Gradius 6, not that other garbage.
-
I've been hearing some rumbling through the grapevine regarding both a 3DS Castlevania and the LoS sequel that I found interesting but since it's a rumor and I can no longer find the source, Im sure it was probably fan speculation but these days who knows.

I too want my Gradius 6 complete with Moai heads :(
-
If I were to put money on it, I'd guess we won't hear any info until around E3. Even then, it will probably be a 30-second teaser trailer for LoS2, revealing next to nothing about the game. :-\
I'd also put money on the Metal Gear franchise being front-and-center again. Then I'd have, like, all this monies.

REVENGEANCE IS NOT METAL GEAR. /elitist /offtopic
You're also assuming we'll even GET a trailer while Revengeance is in development.
More than likely, we'll get a passing "oh hey, we're totally making Lords of Shadow 2... WHOA! LOOK AT RAIDEN BE BADASS!!! CHECK THAT SHIT OUT!"
-
I wasn't even referring to the Raiden game. Besides, I was joking. Kind of...
-
Sorry. Seeing as that's the only "Metal Gear" game that's actively in development, I kind of assumed that was what you meant. From what I understand, Snake Eater 3D is functionally done, or very close to it.
But that's enough Metal Gear for a Castlevania thread.
-
who wants to stop scapegoating the metal gear series for no reason
-
Metal Gear talk ends right about nnnnnnn now!
Here's my prediction on what's gonna happen. At E3 Konami will reveal a new 3DS Castlevania and will be a Metroidvania similar to Order of Ecclesia BUT it will be the sequel to Lords of Shadow and it will be developed by Mercurysteam. Then Konami will reveal another Castlevania game, which will be another sequel to Lords of Shadow and will take place after the epilogue and will be a full adventure type game with a connected world similar to Arkham City or Darksiders. Both game's will have traditional Castlevania enemies and characters but slightly re imagined *coughAlucardcough*
well that's my prediction but it would be nice if it was all true. BTW im based this all off of two unannounced projects Cox mentioned his team is working on and Mercurysteam's interest in the 3DS.
Oh and as usual , the fandom will be enraged that Lords of Shadow got two sequel's.
-

Did it have something to do with it being an in-between sequel to LoS1 and LoS2?
EDIT: Reading your post sounds like you heard the same thing.
I hope the rumors of there being a new Belmont clan are true, but I wouldn't mind Alucard playing like a hybrid Belmont either.
-
I honestly don't expect an announcement for more than one game. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think MercurySteam's other project is Castlevania-related at all.
-
Everyone keeps forgetting the Contra reboot that's due too. We got a simple teaser and nothing else.
-
I suspect the release of new hardware is causing the delay at this point.
-

"Devoted" Castlevania fans certainly don't want to. :rollseyes:
Here's my prediction on what's gonna happen...
Anyway, I would to see that happen. Though I believe, that Castlevania will receive only one game for PS3 / XBox 360. Though it would be interesting to see, if Konami really have any plans for CV on 3DS.

Is this directed at me? I already said I was joking.
