Title: How about a Castle that's always changing?
Post by: James Belmont on January 07, 2008, 10:49:32 PM

I mean, yeah the idea has been done before (ironically in a film made by Anderson, once) but in all seriousness, the Castlevania series in particular is the one place where that sort of thing would kind of make sense.

Since all of Dracula's castles are different they should have a game where you have to go through all of them or at least a different castle composed of the best sections of previous castles.

I've been wanting to see certain Sotn levels rendered in 3d for a while...
anyhow, a plot-worthy inlet for the ever-changing castle could possibly concern the pursuit of shamanism or some other spiritual mentality whereby the castle is altered to correspond to the evolving consciousness of the vamp-killer...Konami seems to have been moving in the direction of tying in alchemy with CV so this could at least work with the storyline somewhat...magic could play a big role...this has really got me brainstorming some cool stuff

Indeed. That sounds like a pretty neat idea, now that you mention it. It would be nice to see this aspect explained, because the Castle never really stays the same.

Alucard, in the original Symphony of the Night translation, stated that the castle was a creature of chaos and can take many forms.
