Topic: Castlevania Judgement (Official Thread)

This art is so badd ass, and brings me back to the days when I was playing thru CVIV for the 1st time. I love the image of Drac in it, though he is small, on the left.

Does anyone have a ZOOMED IN area of that part of the art?

lol i just noticed the winged ring that Simon uses to swing is a devil..!!! Mmm a Belmont using the evil forces for his own benefit? interesting =] hehehe

w/e back to the Judgment... when is konami going to release this thing

[A n t r a x x]

Well you can totally see the wings on the rings in the game. SO yeah I figured they were referencing bats or demons.

It's being released on November, and the music is just going to be taken from past games I believe(remixed and arranged obviously).

by outside composers.

Yeah, but the theme from the trailer is brand new, isn't it? Also, it's excellent, and frankly a bit Yamane-esque.

[RichterX]

I'll have to agree with shelverton here. The trailer theme is great. Makes me want to whoop up on someone =P.

Actually I'm very glad that Judgment comes, because there will be remixes of great old tunes, never remixed before. Tunes that deserve a remix. Other than that... well, maybe the game itself will be fun for two hours, 'til every char is unlocked, like all other beat'm'ups.

You seem to forget the online play

Not really. I like to hear my victims scream in anger about their loss. Nah, really, online play, for me, is nothing that increases play time much. I played brawl online only two or three matches, but I must have like 60 hours of play time altogether.
Well, surely that has to do with the lags and stuff, which hinder you, when it comes to placing your attacks proper and maybe that'll be better in Judgment, because there isn't that much to be calculated, but anyway. I'm not that much of an online gamer. I like to play alone. ... In my cellar. Where no sunlight can be seen.

I got a chance to play the demo at conference and I'll admit: I don't know what the fuss/stink was about.  Once I got used to the controls, it was actually easy and quite fun to play and the hit accuracy was spot on. No delayed hits or lag time.

The trailer they showed was different and had the new guy in it and the beginning of his finishing move: he says something like "Your time is up!" then proceeds to stab you with his clock/sword thingy and blue swirl/magic/whatever starts up around the weapon and its target. I wish I'd recorded it, because I can't remember it exactly but they showed the new guy a lot and I think parts of the actual opening.

IGA talking to another Konami Rep and Translator


IGA, a Konami Rep, and Translator were nice enough to pose in a picture for me after the conference and a small conversation.


And the pictures IGA was nice enough to autograph for everyone.  He only did OoE, no Judgment artwork.
