Chill the fuck down and stop abusing "fuck".

Sorry, I just figured out that I could use that word on this forum, so I went a little over-board:)

Wrong. IGA didn't do that, Ayami Kojima did.

no NOT wrong. IGA had to give the go ahead. Do you honestly think the head of the series doesnt have final say in the character designs?

Reread your post. You said it as if IGA was the one who did it. He didn't get a hold of Simon, Ayami Kojima did. IGA only accepted it.

And... wait for it... because it accepted it its his fault!

Hmm.. It wasn't until Chronicles that Simon actually started to look good IMO.

Sometimes (or actually, most of the time) I don't understand you people and your conservative tastes. But that's ok. As long as the people responsible for this series actually agrees with me.

I like Simon's CV2 sprite the best, too. The contrast of colors makes him look stronger and the pale skin bespeaks the sickness he is going through.

Btw how do you think this game (which looks relatively expensive in it's development) could be a test for a future 3d-CV? I mean, IGA has to beg on his knees for every new budget, if I got that right.

It's too similar to Castlevania in appearance not to raise eyebrows.

The seeming references intrigue people.

Also Konami is likely not proud of how IGA has handled the 3D side of things.

But then again it could be their fault in the first place for possibly low budgets on those games. Who knows.

well i'm thinking you like the better sprites not the red hair?
well my fav look is Thaddeus edit of the chronicles sprite.
i don't have a image online of his edit but i did make a set of running sprites of his edit, here to show you what it looked like.



i love this look myself

Well, yeah. But the red hair doesn't bother me. It's actually kinda fierce 
But yeah, first and foremost it's his sprite.

Yeah the Simon sprite is awkward in Chronicles. I just don't like how he walks.

Figures that Konami would make a game in the style I've always wanted to see CV return to, and it's not a CV game.  :

I just hope Iga will be taking notes when this is released.

blame the original x68k spriters. the chronicles simon is just a sprite edit of him.

the poses in the sprites match perfectly (just try overlaying them), and you can still see the remains of the bandana on the new sprites sometimes.

Here are some images of characters and creatures from Lords of Shadow....with things like Pan and Pixies, maybe it's not related to CV
