I only said that he wasn't in charge of certain things. I didn't say he wasn't in charge of the series.

Legend of Castlevania? :D So the era of Metroidvania is pretty much over and soon we might enter Zeldavania. It sounds like a sweet idea to me. Legend of Zelda with a gothic touch. I just hope they didn't mean Wind Waker-like Zelda XD As much as I love Wind Waker, I don't.. really think it'd suit Castlevania XD

I'm all for a Zeldaesque Castlevania. I think the world could be very interesting with mansions, forests, dungeons, villages, graveyards and of course - Dracula's Castle. I'm not sure if IGA and his team of level designers have what it takes to pull it off and make it interesting though... It's quite an undertaking.

I agree that could possibly be the greatest castlevania game ever made. And with all the space of Blu Ray discs space limitations won't be an issue, if they did it like simon's quest and COD where you get to completely explore the whole country of Romania finally climaxing at dracula's home that would be the greatest CV game ever made.

I would love to see a Castlevania game that played like Twilight Princess and OoT.  I've been a Castlevania fan since the 80's and think that would be a great direction to take!

But I'm not 100% confident that IGA & his crew are really up for the task (sorry IGA)!

I always thought a 3dCastlevania game should be like oblivion but Zelda obviously works too. your right if done right it would be the greatest castlevania game certainly the greatest 3d one.

Going for the Zelda approach would probably result in a more focused experience as far as battle mechanics and level design go. I think Obilvion is a bit too open ended (borderline sandbox) for a CV. Zelda is somewhat "open" too, but it has less distracting stuff in it, and you're always moving forward. A Zelda-like Castlevania should get rid of most of the minigames and fetch quests though and instead focus on a detailed and rich world of vampires and creepy locales, where you can tackle the different dungeons, mansion, graveyards and forests in any order. Or maybe not in ANY order, cause that's not what Zelda is about, but it should be reasonably open at some point in the game where you can make choices.

And yeah, I realize I'm describing Simon's Quest in 3D. Lol.

There could be a couple of towns and side quests and such, but I don't want the world to be sandboxey cause it's been done to death. Detailed and well-made action/adventure games like Zelda are kinda rare these days. A gothic and rather bloody Zeldaesque Castlevania would kick so much ass, if done right.

Yeah it seems very C64ish. And to be honest I always thought those were very well made games, the only thing that held them up from being great at the time was the bad camera angles.

The last two PS2 Castlevania were Zelda-esque in the vein of Ocarina of Time I think.

Remember my name and know this. I have Suffolk Down Syndrome.


Stop me if you've heard this one.
A Belmont falls through a trap door into a square prison with no exits. After hitting three sides he smashes through the last one. Relieved and low on health he looks at the camera, smiles and says......"Pork chop?"
ULTIMATE FOURTH WALL BREAK!!! That just happened!!!
