You're crazy.  It'll never work.

for me a next game doesn't have to mean a whole new game. How about we re-re-revisit simon on his adventures?gh this time with the memory available on disk we could flesh out the graphics/size of the levels/story. Imagine huge levels withtons of npc interaction, instead of " simon goes and kicks draculas ass " we could have a story of  ahero rescuing people along the way, encounters with death and talks with some bosses and people trapped in the castle... I think it would be a nice idea for the main character to be able to mount and dismount a horse too to traverse the countryside. a little like epona or something only in 2 sidescrollingness

Except for the horse thing which I don't particularly care for, it would make it feel to much like zelda, isn't that what you basically do in SQ?

I don't know if I like the idea of having another CV1 remake as they've already done that with the PS1 chronicles game. The only reason I would even be for a remake at all would be to have a game that's long like Chronicles and not have the horrendous feminin pink hair simon. Other than the pink hair simon I think chronicles is a good updated CV1 and any longer might actually be too long.

In a castle with zombies and skeletons, in the past.

Eh I'm getting tired of the whole game taking place in the castle though. I think the next one should be mainly outside like COD. That's one thing I love about the game, you get a real multitude of environments and really get to explore ancient romania finally hacking your way to drac's castle which is about the size of a normal castle and not uber large. (though that doesn't mean the castle being big is a bad thing, not trying to make that out to be a negative or anything). I'd really like another game like that right now as just about every  title released in the last 10 years has taken place entirely in the castle and I think it'd be cool if we got a change for the next one like COD.

It has to be the 1999 battle in Drac's castle.

its about time they finally make a game based on Julius's
legendary battle and the Belmonts return to power.

[Long John Silver]

Didn't iga said at one point that the 1999 game will be the last game though?

Wasn't chronicles more of a port of the x86000 game though? rather than a remake, albeit with a few bells and whistle for arrange mode?

I don't remember him saying, but I doubt there is gonna be a 'last game' for some time. I guess maybe before he drops the series and leaves it for some one else he'll do it. That'd b kind of cool. I'm in no rush for that just yet anyway.

I didn't see anything wrong with Simon. And when has any Castlevania character of late been manly?

And yeah, Chronicles wasn't CV1. AKX68K had a few of the same levels based off CV1's and a portion of the final level from Super Castlevania, but that's where it ends.

Simon appearing as anything other than a generic Conan is a dangerous and radical thought.

All the recent belmonts post chronicles have been at least somewhat manly. You can tell what they're sex is. Simon in chronicles looks like a girl and the pink hair don't help. It was a bad choice on iga's part. I think the new Ralph/Trevor in Cod looks very manly and tough. Leon looks good too in LoI. Theye're clothing choices are distinctly male and although they have longer hair it's done more for the time period and lack of a barber probably than the characters personal choice. Look at Julius in the sorrow games. He looks very manly. No confusion there. I think Iga learned from his mistake with chronicles and I don't even know if he is happy with simon's appearance in the remade game.

And yeah, Chronicles wasn't CV1.

Yeah it is all the Akumajou Dracula games are castlevania 1. Chronicles was a remake of Akumajou Dracula X68000 which chronologically still puts it as castlevania one.

Simon appearing as anything other than a generic Conan is a dangerous and radical thought.

Now that's not what I was saying at all man. I don't care what they make simon look like as long as it looks good. c'mon pink hair and girlish features just ain't cool.

[Azmodan]

Heh, I was just kidding. SCIV Simon is win, personally.

Oh man I gotta stop taking some of these posts so literally.

Well, that hope is a bit cliche. I would prefer it to be set after the year 2800 around the time of World War 37. Dracula raised the army of hell and now all of the remaining humans after his first massive onslaught have teamed up to fight him. So now, some futuristic Belmont, a man in the U.S. army, must head into Dracs castle to destroy him and end all the pain and suffering.

Konami could pull a MoonRaker and set it in space.....Space Zombies and Skelenauts!

Castlevania: Cacophony of Cassette Tapes - As Ernst Belmont in 1992, you must crack down on Dracula's VCR piracy ring.
