Topic: My Thoughts on a New Direction the Series Can Go

But couldn't you also describe Alucard as such.  I mean if you look at his picture in the SotN instruction manual, he looks quite feminine.  Actually, most of the people who I showed that picture to said that he was a woman at first before I told them that it was a guy.

Well yeah you could.

D of course came out way before Alucard did back in 1983 while Alucard was introduced in 1989 (Japan release) and according to the official artwork wasn't that good looking.  Alucard was only introduced as being  beautiful when SotN came out. In fact they used the phrase "A man who has an inhumanly attractive face" or something like that  to describe his Genya Arikado persona  in the manual for Aria   that same phrase is used quite often in the vampire hunter d novels to describe D. Course Alucards gorgeous appearance could be inspired by D but I've heard nothing official stating that.

But yeah you are correct you could say the same for Alucard, course in the novels it is done repetitively with D and done to the extent that he can even make men fluster lol.

There's actually a kind of oficial statement about Alucard being influenced by D, IGa said hat in a recently posted interview

Then there you go, if what ahasverus says is true, then we now know why Alucard is rockin the pretty boy look.

Remake Resurrection and give better explanations to Sonia's and Victor's histories. Maybe a game where Solieyu get's his training and has to a foil an
attempt by a vampire or witch to raise the Count. Also play the role as Dracula is a cool idea. We can see his transformation from good (sort of) to evil. He can fight for the church (fighting heathens, reading Psalms & depressing the guys from Monty Python in the process and impaling people{which was church approved back then}) and then change it to where he renounces the church and finds the Reaper learns all of his vampy tricks and impales people (of which the church says bullshit, that's our fuckin job!!! THAT'S OUR FUCKIN JOB!!!) Other than that the dormancy period and the search for Richter by Maria suggestion is also cool by me. That's all I got....

Unless of curse someone was to make a game of someone other than Dracula being raised from the dead.
Hmmmm........

Forget it, the concept behind that game sucked in the first place.  The danger of Dracula becomes so great that there is a need to have a past Belmont help out though the miracle of time-travel.  Screw time-travel.  If the danger is great then wouldn't Alucard just wake up like he did in SotN?  This is why the game was canceled in the first place.  The time-travel concept was stupid and didn't make sense.

[DragonSlayr81]

Time travel is also a bad thing to incorporate, ESPECIALLY late into an already established series because it's so EASY to screw up. The idea that the world deemed Dracula so bad, that it scanned history and pulled two Belmonts to counter him is super idiotic. If anything, it's the MOST idiotic thing in the ENTIRE CV franchise.

[Mobius]

Okay, okay now. Settle down, '81. Breathe. Anything... I repeat, A N Y T H I N G, can work with the proper thought and detail put into it. Yes, even time travel. This is why Castlevania most often lacks consistent plotting since equal attention must be distributed to gameplay, presentation and overall programming. It just hasn't been a series that, as yet, has had proper attention paid to story continuity and depth. But you know what? We've lived through it. And we will continue to do so.

From what I heard about Resurrection, the game takes place in 1666 right? Isn't Simon Belomont alive during this time period? Why didn't they just get him to take on Dracula in this game?

Simon wasn't born yet at this time, his games are in the 1690s.
