Konami uploaded new voice cast reveal

https://youtu.be/EpCS2VPsMd8?is=nxh47EsgQ0y5H5Hu


Side note: I’m sure this has been already mentioned but I do wish they brought back Ayami Kojima to do the artwork. The character designs are fine but they’re missing Kojima’s unique elegance :/

OG ISAAC REDEMPTION TOUR LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO

but honestly what a STACKED cast. holy shit
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

It's crazy we're getting Liam O' Brien back as Isaac. And I'm very happy Alejandra Reynoso and Graham McTavish are reprising their roles from Netflixvania. I may have beef with that show and the creative directions it took but I will always love the voice actors and how they brought the characters to life.

Absolutely. I gradually divorced from the show, but not a single VA on that show gave less than perfection in their part.

Big video, spoilery. Looks better than what I initially thought!

It plays well, but man, I hate to be a negative nancy, the music is SOOOOO forgettable. I'm not asking for Michiru Yamane or Yuzo Koshiro or Carlos Viola but absolutely nothing about the tracks so far stand out to me. The monochrome backgrounds also make it pretty hard to see the enemies IMO.

Still, like I said, at least it plays quite smoothly.

See the new trailer, it's better than we thought.

I'm on the pessimistic side of the fence.

While I like Dead Cells, that is one thing and Castlevania is another.
Consequently, looking at the game play does not give me the impression of likely feeling like any flavor Castlevania.

I detest the Netflix show with a passion, and this game seems to be sucking on that teat.
When I heard that this was from the makers of Dead Cells, I thought at least it would have nice pixel graphics, but instead it turned out to be flat, cliched slop.

Music is not bad, but I don't need the game to enjoy the music.

So yeah, unimpressed and unenthusiastic about it.

PS- You'd think a game titled Belmont's Curse would be taking place after Symphony of the Night, not 250 years earlier.
"Stuff and things."
