Title: Warning!!!! New Castlevanias Spoilers!
Post by: Dark Nemesis on May 21, 2008, 10:55:31 AM
Taken from Mr.s Portrait from gamefaqs!!

2008 is going to be a good year for Castlevania.

But 2009 is going to be even better!

Order of Ecclesia's main character is actually modeled after a picture of IGA's wife!




Yamane is back yes... as for art, I don't think I can comment on that yet.

But about the Wii version there is a Wii game in store, obviously from those pics I leaked out :x

But that's not the only stuff in store for 2008-2009.

It is pending approval but the PCE CD version of Akumajou Dracula X Chii no Rondo will be coming out on the North American virtual console as well. It just launched in Japan recently.

Castlevania Chronicles will be coming out on the PSN as well... ^_^


Hello,

I never said the next title will be about 1999 games. I only said that it was discussed/planned. Sorry for any confusion. There should be more announcements for CV in the media real soon!



OoE/UK is not that far into production, just the main "area" is finished and each scenario lvl is still being worked on and are in very early stages, some not even having enemies.

There is very likely no Wii game in store. IGA doesn't really think Castlevnaia would work on the system.

Also, it is true Japan got a VC release of Rondo, but the way NOA has been holding back VC releases lately, and the fact we just got Dracula X Chronicles... it doesn't seem this is going to happen for us anytime soon.

Obviously, OoE is way further along in development than that. It recieved an ESRB rating, which means the game is in a finished or near-it state.

Yes, but what mr.s portrait said before about the previous games was true, so i believe that next week or so, we will have our answers if these words are true or not!

 What surprised me, was the fact that Shanoa was made after IGA's wife!

I don't think it's up to Iga as much as it is the upper people at Konami.  They are looking to sell as many units as possible.  So far the Wii is ruling in sales.  It's pretty logical to make the next game for Wii if they want as many sales as possible.

None of these tidbits are really spoilers.. except Shanoa being modelled after Koji's wife :O

I think what he/she's exact words were "Two 1999 games, that is all." That's basically trying to prove there will be 2 games, which was obviously false (as of now).

That never meant upcoming games were destined to be about the events of 1999.

We don't even know what Judgement's about, so...

Oh, Portrait. You massive tease.

Don't get me wrong, any Castlevania news is good news, but Portrait always stops just short of delivering anything substantial.

And why did she say the shots "I leaked"? The poster on faqs who leaked the original screens was banned, and, purportedly fired from Konami.
Title: Re: Warning!!!! New Castlevanias Spoilers!
Post by: A n t r a x x on May 22, 2008, 12:11:26 AM
Yeah IGA made it sound like someone was fired for that.

Did he? I missed that. I just remember one of the gamefaqers saying they talked to the original poster who leaked the pics through PM's or something similar, and he/she said they were fired for the leak. Allegedly they were working on translations for the enemy names, I believe. To my knowledge, they haven't posted since.

Another question occurs to me: which Castlevania Chronicles is she referring to? The original is the most obvious answer, but I could see someone calling DXC simply Castlevania Chronicles too.

It's the original. DXC just released; no way they would port it so soon, and I doubt a port of that would go over well anyway.

Too big.

But I could see it eventually realeasing on the PS2 or the PS3 as a stand-alone title.

I spoke to that ex Konami employee.  He was fired just 6 hours after the leak.

Ouch, I hope he didn't like his Job. Cuz if he did, I feel sorry for him. And I'll never get the whole "its a secret" thing.

As sympathetic I am to his plight, common sense should've kicked in: 1.) You don't leak a "secret" game online (much less show screens), and 2.) What kind of translator turns to Gamefaqs for help?!

Oh cool!

uh what's the PSN? I've never heard of that before at all or is it a new slang term for Playstation?
Title: Re: Warning!!!! New Castlevanias Spoilers!

From Mr.s PORTRAITofRUIN: There should be a video available of this game sometime soon. I'm not sure when it will be released to the public, I'll see what I can do, I don't have a test card for the latest build of this game yet. Hopefully I will receive it soon.

Playstation Network

ah thanks, never heard of it is it like Xbox live?
Title: Re: Warning!!!! New Castlevanias Spoilers!
Post by: Abster on May 23, 2008, 05:14:27 AM
Yeah it's the Playstation online service.  It's pretty much like Xbox Live and the Wii Virtual Console.

So, this PORTRAITofRUIN person... who is she/he/it? Some kind of employee at Konami or wut?
Title: Re: Warning!!!! New Castlevanias Spoilers!
Post by: cecil-kain on May 23, 2008, 11:56:48 AM
She's an informant embedded somewhere in the press if I remember right...

Post by: crisis on May 23, 2008, 12:28:23 PM
Yeah the Playstation Online service has recently received a more streamlined look for easier navigation  ;)

PORTRAITofRUIN stirred quite a bit of controversy prior to the release of por. She revealed/leaked info about the game & I think she had the soundtrack too.
Title: Re: Warning!!!! New Castlevanias Spoilers!
Post by: cecil-kain on May 23, 2008, 01:19:32 PM
As I recall...  She was dropping spoilers at gamefaqs and claimed she had a beta copy of POR --naturally everyone thought she was a joke --then she youtubed some footage of Richiter  :P mode and became an object of worship after that. 

Now everytime she turns up she gets spammed with questions --although she drops some tidbits, most go unanswered.
Title: Re: Warning!!!! New Castlevanias Spoilers!
Post by: Long John Silver on May 23, 2008, 01:27:01 PM
last time i heard the videos of richter mode by done by a guy, whose name i won't reveal because he uses the same nickname in the magazine he works for and we don't want to get him fired too now do we? he was taking the requests on irc, and i helped him rip the soundtrack then hosted it for him on my server for a while.

either way, proof that por = a man who pretends to be a woman lol. :o
