Title: Netflix Castlevania vs. Bloodstained
Post by: AlexCalvo on May 26, 2017, 02:45:39 PM
Not as bad a time to be a Castlevania fan as some of us thought...

In one corner we have the actual Castlevania series, the characters we know and love, the world we miss.  The classic timeline.  Our first step back into this world since 2008.  And a revisit to arguably the most beloved era in the continuity.  But it is not actually a game... so a lot of what we love about the series literally cannot be present.

In the other corner we have the spiritual successor to the games themselves.  The game play mechanics and themes we know and love, the sequel we aren't getting from Konami.  A return to form after some divisive experimentation.  But it's not the actual Castlevania series... so the world and characters we love literally cannot be present.

It's a tough one, but for me the animated series edges out Bloodstained by a hair.  I love everything about Castlevania, but the storyline and characters, the world that's been developed over decades, that is what I love most about it.  The gameplay has always been superb, but without that world, and those characters, it will never be fully enough for me.

Bloodstained is still a long ways off. I can't compare the two, but seeing Castlevania getting a promising looking animated series has me very excited.

Definitely Bloodstained for me.

The lack of Castlevania characters in Bloodstained does't bother me. Order of Ecclesia was pretty much already like that.

Not to mention Bloodstained is a new IP.

Even OoE was still heavily steaped in the lore of the world established in the previous games. More and more so as the game progresses.  While it's not so entrenched in it as PoR or CoD, it's still very much a part of it.  And obviously I know that Bloodstained is a new IP. But I am asking from the perspective of a Castlevania fan.

I'm more hyped for Bloodstained.
I've seen 60 seconds of this new anime style trailer which looks decent. I've seen around 20 minutes of Bloodstained footage which looks better, and it's an actual game.

Ironically I also believe BS will do more to reinvigorate fans of this franchise.

Personally, I'm more interested in the animation since it is already finished and looks like a quality work, unlike Bloodstained....that doesn't looks that good because it's still unfinished (I want to believe that) and will have its own time to shine when it gets a proper release date.

I really don't understand why people are having a hard time  understanding it... these are the two upcoming projects being aimed directly at our fan base.  So I'm asking which one people are more excited about.  A much better example then then one you provided would be like asking a star wars fan if they were more excited for the next side story movie or video game...  this is a fan site.  We discuss fan stuff literally every day.

On another note, looks like most people agree with me so far in the poll.

Let the CV series tide us for this year while we wait for Bloodstained.

Netflix CV. Because unlike Bloodstained (which I'm still looking forward to, don't get me wrong), it doesn't just look and feel like CV; it is CV. And I haven' been this excited for any official CV endeavor in almost nine years.

Where does anyone say we can't have both?  I'm literally asking which one people are more hyped about, and I explicitly state the reasons to be hyped for both.

And we're at a tie!

I am really liking the look and feel of the Netflix series, and because it's official Castlevania, I'm leaning slightly in its favor.

Not that I am canceling my KS order of Bloodstained or anything, but the whole reason I supported Bloodstained was because of its roots to Castlevania, not the other way around...

So I am essentially looking forward to the animated series more.

As a Castlevania fan first. I'm voting the Netflix series because the vibe I'm getting from it is more appealing to me. If we get a game with this new style I'll be very, very happy.

Let me be clear that I think Iga is great and Bloodstained looks very promising!

But I've always put Castlevania above all other games my whole life. That's not about to change any time soon.

I'm really holding out hope that if this series does really well in season 1 and 2, and then Bloodstained is very well recieved that Konami will make a "Castlevania: The Animated Series: The Game!" Which would essentially be an Igavania remake of Cv3 with art style from the show.

Gotta disagree with you here plot.

A soft reboot based on the classic games is exactly what CV needs in my opinion.

And setting it all up with 2 seasons of an animated series would be the perfect way to assure that nobody is confused.

Yeah We really need something like this... really as CV is a dyeing art, and maybe this will pump some interest back in it. we can only hope.

And did any of you see that Vampire Killer Design, gotta say that I'm a convert to the whole thing being a leather Whip after that lovely design.

And its nice that hes got a Scottish accent, as that place is rich monster  legends... and I have Scottish  blood too

But yes I can't wait for this to come out, it also looks a bit like Vampire hunter D, and that's a nice tie in as Yamamura was a fan of Hideyuki Kikuchi.

But after seeing this, I must say that I hope its as good as it looks.  OH man I hope its good.

People are already thinking Gabriel will appear or get mentioned somehow as being Dracula on this series. They're now confusing the new timeline with the old timeline with the animation timeline.

I'm not willing to "take anything" because "we got nothing". And I'm not even talking about the series being bad -- it might turn out to be actually pretty good. Now, remember what happens when:

1. We take anything because we got nothing.
2. Games get made out of movies/animations.

Nah I'm cool. Let it grow as an animated series with 48237489 seasons instead of turning them into games. The odds of a game out of this being utter crap are too high for my tastes even without having watched one single episode of this series yet, and I don't subscribe to this "more=better" culture.

Most of what I was going to say has already been said. I would rather have a soft rebooted classic timeline oriented game based on this animated series than nothing.  And that does not mean I'd just "take anything"  I mean an Igavania Cv3 remake with this aesthetic would have to be really really bad to not be satisfying and this is a franchise that's survived Dracula X, Legends, and LoS2.  We just need some kind of forward motion to keep this series alive outside of pachinko machines. I get that you are very apprehensive about this series, but I think your hate is getting less and less warranted.  It kind of seems like you won't be satisfied unless it falls in line 100% with the original Canon. I mean first you were all about how this series was going to be to far away from the source material, teaser comes out and you say it's too safe... It just seems like they can't please you. We can already see it is doing a much better job than most adaptations.

Yeah I have to agree with that,

The odds of a game out of this being utter crap are too high for my tastes even without having watched one single episode of this series yet, and I don't subscribe to this "more=better" culture.

Also a reminder/side-note that I, personally, having based my opinion on the past behavior of the guys behind this animation, think that they are doing a crap job already and have zero respect for them until the animation proves itself beyond a teaser


I Think your just shooting this down cos it really doesn't go with what IGA has been doing, and I agree it is sad for fans who hoped for more of an IGA feel.

Also a reminder/side-note that I, personally, having based my opinion on the past behavior of the guys behind this animation, think that they are doing a crap job already and have zero respect for them until the animation proves itself beyond a teaser



I think this is a REALLY unfair statement. To be honest, this is bordering on angry ugly Fanboyism that just feels that IGA's work has been messed on, and it really cuts down on your credibility, as you've just shot something down with hate missiles for no real reason, other then the fact that you feel that it's not respecting the aspect of CV that you like, even though you have no idea how it will turn out.

And I know a lot of IGA fans don't like hearing this, but there have been many takes on CV, like the older backstory of the count (and yes, IGA added parts from that into his work -- but I have huge problems with IGA's character psychology for Dracula, though that's for another day).

I think this series is just another look into the world that is Castlevania, not IGA's Castlevania. I mean, one could say that IGA has taken a lot of things out, and upset many by doing so, but that's not to say that he did something bad. He was just trying to give life to something in the only way he knew how. And it's the same with this -- YES it's new, YES it's not like IGA's work. But I think that this could be really well-made.  And to me, someone who has Loved CV for years, I can see that it has the spirit of CV.


As you worry about past behaviour, let's compare it to the film, missing one of the most important parts of CV lore: the whip. But the new show is not only using it, it has really taken the time to redesign it, showing that they are putting real time and care into this.
 
And I think it's important to say yes, IGA has done a LOT For CV.
He carried it for years, giving it life and making sure that it didn't fade into an echo -- but the world of CV does not just begin and stop With IGA.


It's filled with the sweat, tears and blood of other men and women who worked their backs off to bring CV to life, and make something that can still stand up today and bring people together from all parts of the world to talk about and debate, and share in a love for something that was so well made that the first Nes game still stands up today as one of the greatest games of all time.


And CV3 had new ideas and other things that helped grow the world of CV, and just like this new show, I'm sure a lot of fans felt that maybe it would be bad, as after 2 was sooo different from 1, maybe it should just stop as CV really isn't what it used to be. But it turned out to be a fantastic game.


So what I'm trying to say is, let's put aside hate for something that we all have very little info on, as it could be really good. Of course, I'm not saying it will be a hit -- it may be really, really bad. But at the same time, it could be really, really good. So let's just wait until it's on before we throw our rotten fruit at it.

Some of you all need to get it through your skulls that having a liking of the IGA canon does not instantly mean you hate anything non-IGA, have nothing but poor opinions on anything non-IGA, are incapable of liking anything non-IGA, or only like the IGA stuff because it has IGA's name on it.

Getting really fucking tired of seeing this shit in here. Especially when the people being attacked and demeaned as "oh you're just buttmad it's not IGA" when they've outright stated why their opinion is what it is and the reasons have nothing to do with IGA.

I voted Bloodstained, giving it a slight edge. I am very likely to watch the series once. Once.
Maybe twice if it's exceptional, and more than that if it ever releases on Blu-Ray (Netflix series though, so that's incredibly unlikely).

But given how even my least favorite Iga game (Dawn of Sorrow) got at least 8 playthroughs from me, I think for me this vote is safely in Bloodstained's court here. I will most likely just enjoy it more times, though hopefully both will impress me.

I really want to point out that no one here is being as aggressive and angry as you are plot twist. And you are exaggerating everyone else's arguments into hyperbolic non sense.  You seem to be arguing from a very emotional place, you can't see a discussion on the topic of this series without dumping vitriol all over it.  Surely you are aware that there is middle ground between the drastic extremes you present, no one is saying you should be on your hands and knees praising the teaser for perfection.  Saying your level of hate is unwarranted does not mean you should be loving everything, it just means its surprising that your opinion hasnt budged even in the face of something positive, when the slightest negative sends you groaning onto the forum.  Seriously, you thought a mediocre teaser poster was enough to stir up hate, but optimism after an awesome teaser trailer is unwarranted?  You are not being intellectually consistent.

Oh... And I'm not with that guy using this topic to rant/bitch about Iga. One of the things I loved most about the teaser was how Trevor and Alucard represented their Iga era designs. And Sypha looking perfect.

And just throwing out there that Warren Ellis is a SUPERB writer. We really couldn't have asked for anybody better.  And while he is certainly his own beast, and will start from his own point, he had Iga working with him on the script for literally a decade (sending it back with notes at least 4 times) and Shankar (who you should know from his facebook feed is a passionate Castlevania fan) to reign in his eccentricities.  And Adi Shankar is an extremely passionate fan and film maker who has produced some of the least compromising/Most quality work on film adaptations in decades.  So he dresses kind of goth... whatever. I am thrilled he got behind this.  We are VERY VERY lucky to have Shankar as the current steward of our beloved series.

If I'd absolutely have to decide, my vote would go to Bloodstained simply by virtue of it being a game. I like actively playing more than passively watching something. I mean, I'm still hurting that it won't be our old beloved Castlevania, with Dracula as the main villain and such, but still.

Though as it stands, the trailer for the animated series looked awesome. Maybe this won't be so bad after all - as long as it's as much disconnected from Lords of Shadows as humanly possible.

Also, IGA didn't "work with him on the script", but on pre-production material (namely, the main premise and an "outline" of the full material) and as a reviewer, not as writter.

Actually, I should mention IGA's involvement with it back then is what gives me some hope of this succeeding. But I also know very well IGA not only didn't create CVIII, but kept CVIII's story canon changing ONE detail (Alucard's birth) to not step on the toes of who created it.

But keep in mind IGA is not involved this time.

So, you're allowed to like Ellis. I'm allowed not to, and I don't give a shit for whom or what he worked on previously.

I honestly have no problem with you at all. I am a big fan of your fan project, and think you are one of the most knowledgable fans in the entire fandom.  I bring you up only because I remember discussing the teaser poster with you, and then the teaser trailer, and your two lines of criticism seemed strangely at odds with each other.  And I get that you said you were satisfied with the teaser in one post, but you jumped into this thread with your "Jesus christ"'s and your all caps sentences dumming down logical arguments into childish banter.  If you are unaware, that comes across pretty dick-ish. So it makes it seem very disingenuous when you try and play the victim, while simultaneously pulling shit like this...
"B-BUT THE TEASER"

Nobody is gas lighting you, you are being rude and straw manning.  You're getting overly emotional and lashing out.  If I had to guess I'd say your time devoted to your fan game has made you feel a sense of ownership over the series, and the fact that someone else now has and is acting on the actual ownership has you rubbed the wrong way. I understand that feeling COMOLETELY, if you remember I actually had been working on a script for a Castlevania Netflix series since my film classes in college. If I can get over it so can you.

Thank god this is just a guess. Nice try, though.

Could I guess you are praising this series because you wrote a script, and now you're seeing somebody else realize your dreams?

Do you know who has ownership of the Castlevania IP and is doing a bad job with it? KONAMI. It's not Adi Shankar who will "rub me the wrong way" because of "having ownership of the IP", fam. He's probably doing a better job with it than Konami is.

You should stop trying to read my mind and making assumptions. It's not working. You still couldn't grasp what my criticism is and is now trying to read my thoughts and feelings. This is making you look like you can't actually argue out of appeal to emotions (a logical fallacy I've been pointing out OVER AND OVER and you can't stop using).
Title: Re: Netflix Castlevania vs. Bloodstained
Post by: AlexCalvo on May 28, 2017, 05:07:33 PM
Your argument that it conflicts with the themes of the series? I just ignored it because it is outrageously innacurate. And the reason I am excited is the same reason virtually every castlevania fan got excited, the teaser is exactly what we wanted to see.  As much as people always love when someone else realizes their personal dream (thanks for that friendly knife twist btw), no, that is not why I am excited.  I am excited because I love the work of Warren Ellis and Adi Shankar,  and I love Castlevania.

Now to my point that you ignored, why are you trying to play the victim and claim to be getting gas lighted when you are the one being rude to everyone who disagrees with you?  My assumption was merely speculation to explain why someone who is usually very calm and logical is flying off the handle and making fun of others.  For someone who claims to not be emotionally invested, you're getting extra salty. And you're the only salty one here.

Guys, you should both take a breather. You both seem to disagree strongly, so instead of continuously seeking out a confrontation with each other, just agree to disagree. At the very least, wait until the series has actually released before discussing whether it's any good or not. Everyone should be able to post their own impressions about this series without being called out on it by someone else. So please get back on-topic or else I'll lock this thread. Also, if I see this kind of discussion again in other topics, I'll put an to that as well.

I'm mainly looking forward the Netflix series, because it's an official CV one AND based on CV3. Not too many episodes, animation looks good.

So far, Bloodstained hasn't blew my mind and it only comes out in a year, so I still have time to look forward to it.

No doubt the show for me. Bloodstained is looking great and it is a game but holy fuck... The show looks good but it IS the Castlevania universe. Since I was a kid I'd imagined a CV film, thought it'd never happen, but here it is!! My childhood self would explode over this announcement. Plus Castlevania potentially getting more mainstream exposure is only healthy for the brand.

the CVIII TV show is not interactive, and its story is said and done.

 Bloodstained is interactive, more immersive as a game, and a new story overall., and can get a lot more total hours played than the amount of times the TV series is watched.

both can be awesome though.  though Bloodstained easily wins it if they actually launch it.

I'll reserve my vote for when I experience both the game and the CVIII Netflix episodes. At the moment it's all up in the air and can go either way for both.

If it did well and it was good, this  all depends on of this good It be  nice to see  them do Dracula X
Next. as I think that game really needs to be made in to adapted in to something like a film or a show.

I'm definitely far more excited for the Animation.

I would be more excited for Bloodstained if it hadn't been pushed back another so I'm choosing the Netflix series.
