Title: new castlevania on the ds or a fake?
Post by: mgfcortez on March 28, 2008, 06:47:35 PM
i just found this heres the link

http://kotaku.com/346759/rumored-new-castlevania-ds-screens-indicate-wii-connectivity

i wouldn't mind saying good bye to the cartoon art myself if its true.
but it could be a fan edit but they getting so damn lazy with making games it could be real too :P
the sprite looks kinda like a charlotte edit who else think so?
plus the pic with whatever that is a bad guy looks messed up.
only 2 good screens the title screen and the one with the japanese txt.
BTW anybody that reads japanese whats it say?
so what you all think real or fake?

It's most likely a fake, though Konami's silence makes me wonder.

if those are fakes they are really really good fakes.  I honestly believe that this is the 3rd DS Castlevania so it wouldn't surprise me.  Usually you can tell if a fake is a fake by studying the image, I see no reason at all to believe these are fakes.  It wouldn't matter either way, Anytime screens are leaked everyone says they are fakes no matter how authentic they look.  I don't think its a 1999 game though it might have something to do with Elizabeth Bartley and the Bloodlines timeline.  Maybe its a prequel to Bloodlines or takes place in the same frame as the Bram Stoker novel.  IGA has said that he wanted to tie up some loose ends in the Castlevania timeline and thats one of the big loose ends in it on how the Bram Stoker novel ties into the Castlevania timeline.  From those screens other than the character portraits the art style looks to revert back to Ayami's art style.  I think this is Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia I would bet $10 on it :).

Probably half the people on here except me :).  Any new Castlevania game is good news for me even if it was leaked early.  They could be fakes but like I said they would have to be really good fakes.I mean the screenshots look pretty cool, kind of similar to the other DS games.  If Ayami Kojima is back in the picture I think that will stop the complaints with the Anime style artwork but you couldn't really tell what style it is.

Post by: Long John Silver on May 11, 2008, 09:14:30 AM
doesn't really look kojima to me. one of her trademark screw ups, longcat necks on female portraits isn't present here (however, a too long head is, but kojima never had a problem with drawing hueg skulls).

also the eyes are too wide, compared to kojima's who mostly tries to stay away from generic anime style and draws her eyes small.

i really hope that awful orange palette on screen #2 will be darkened. it looks like hod.
Title: Re: new castlevania on the ds or a fake?
Post by: DragonSlayr81 on May 11, 2008, 10:18:27 AM
I have to agree. The art looks NOTHING like Kojima's. I said it a while back when I first seen the screens, the art looks like it could've come from some Korean MMORPG.

I think it looks like a combination of Kojima and Anime-style.
Title: Re: new castlevania on the ds or a fake?
Post by: Thomas Belmont on May 11, 2008, 02:49:02 PM
Since the images insinuate that the main protagonist is a female, I hope they are fake.

It could be.  People can complain all they want about the Anime style but I like it (the videos at the beginning not so much my cup of tea).  I just beat Dawn of Sorrow actually today after 2 years or more of owning the game.  Its taken me along time after getting lost in that game and then restarting it and trying to play through it again.  I thought the game was so good that it might even give Symphony a run for its money, but I will make that determination after I beat the other modes and give Symphony another run through (Its been over a year, its about time to re-visit it. 

Another thing about the Anime is that its done very well in Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin besides the videos which look too Dragonball Z-ish.  Of course you can't bash IGA too much for going Anime with the graphics since he is trying to appeal to a younger audience as well.  I have no issue with it as long as they keep raising the bar higher for each game.  Gameplay is what makes or breaks Castlevania games,  who knows maybe Kojima got to be apart of the new DS title.  The last two she was busy with Curse of Darkness and Dracula X from what I understand.  Who knows maybe she did a mixture of Anime styled artwork?  I mean thats not like her but if IGA wanted Anime I am sure she would produce.

Yeah, actually this looks like the same artist that did the anime stuff, it's just in a different style.

Well, I've played all of them, and nothing from the castletroid era can touch Symphony. IMO. Game is gold everytime I play it. It just never gets boring to me. And now we have Maria in the PSP version :)

Yeah, it kinda does.  It looks better than the previous anime artwork though, thankfully. (I still laugh whenever I see Julius from the DoS cover.)

"BELMONT PUNCH!"
"YOKO GET BACK HERE BITCH!"
"YOU CALL YOUR SELL A SUCCUBUS?!"
"DAMNIT SOMA YOU ATE ALL OF THE COOKIES!"

But I still prefere the older gothic style that SoTN AoS CoD and LoI had because it give the characters more character then the anime and makes them reconiseable

Post by: le052383 on May 15, 2008, 02:53:44 PM
Now that it is officially announced that it is authentic, I wonder how many folks in this forum will do a 180 and start praising the graphics rather bashin it months prior.

Personally, it seemed so much effort to be fake and regardless, there seems to be a pattern here were ppl would bash a new CV game and later praise it once the release date is near.

I have no idea why either.  Maybe they aren't ready to release that info.  I know that I will be getting my new Nintendo Power soon enough and I am pretty sure that there will be information regarding the new DS game and possibly a Wii title .
Title: Re: new castlevania on the ds or a fake?
Post by: crisis on May 18, 2008, 03:42:33 PM
It'll probably be something generic anyway, like downloadable content, weapons, etc.

It's hard for me to picture a solid cv game on the wii. What happened to all those 360 rumors?

If it was just downloadable content, you could just do it with the DS, no?

Well, DS can't store anything, but if the game was made for the content anyway it wouldn't have to.

Do you suppose we could have the other half of the trailer in its own MP3 too? While not as good a song, I would like to study it more but don't want to watch the trailer everytime just to do it.

I could rip it myself, but I don't have a sound editor installed right now.

Can't wait to hear more music from OoE. And hopefully it's a little more solid.
