Topic: I knew it! Castlevania: Lords of Shadow!(SPOILERS HERE, PLZ USE THE SPOILER TAG)

Try not to freak out too much Nagumo. Ahasverus does have a point and it's marketing. It's unfortunate but true that everything, including games are dependant on marketing, sales and value. And it's all thanks to that corrupt crap we call the 'monetary system'. But hey! If the fans but out the series then we'll actually get proper, decent CV games to play. And since fan games seem to deliver far more then what IGA has in the past decade, then I'm not gonna complain.

Excuse me , but aren't you the one who claimed himself as Enrique Alvares ?

Now, I'm confused 

Mr. Alvarez WAS the person presenting the clocktower levels. I don't see any contradiction there.

What is it with people registering and claiming to be members of the development team, or just for damage control?

Seeing how down-to-earth this development team seems to be, I'm not surprised they're making accounts to post. I know for a fact Mr. Cox crawls this forum.

Then Judgment... flopped, hard, wii is a console that sells by name, and judgment proved that CV is not a big name anymore, a venerable niche one, yes, but not a big one, and th ¡e game was sooo bad, that even a lot of us, "true fans" didn't buy it.

Excellent, Ahasverus, excellent.

You seem to love Castlevania, and you try to support the series the best you can, but too much stupid games and you're trying to get the things straight. Good spirit !

But many Castlevania fanboys discovered the saga with SOTN, COTM or DOS... so they can't understand you, because they think to love Castlevania. But actually : it's not. It's just some Iga-vania which are very different in all points with the series' best quality offered in the past . Besides, these fanboys never played games like Dracula's Curse because "it's ugly graphics", and even if they played it, they hate it and just want remakes of earlier games with easiest difficulty, more beautiful graphics, new Alucard's design and so on. 


Lords of Shadow has to sell well, because of the Huge budget and financial crisis it would be for Konami if it fails. Personally, I think Castlevania has many more to offer to fans and gamers. So LOS can be either the savior for the saga, either the game which will marks the end of it. But nobody can predict what will happen to the series if LOS fails. We'll see.

If every hardcore fans buy it, then we'll have a kind of Lords of Shadow 2 or at least a "Gold Edition", as marketing rules. And new projects, in 2D and/or 3D as well.

On the contrary, if the Iga 2D fanboys decide not to buy it, and if the game fails, then you're right, it can be very difficult for Konami to continue the franchise. 


But for hardcore Castlevania-fans like me, real Castlevania spirit is dead since many years so it would not make a big difference. That's just my point of view, please don't attack me you Dungeon community !

Many developers read VG forums, it's nothing new. They may not always comment on what's being said, but they read what the fans say. The ESPECIALLY lurk after their game has been released to see reactions. I do however believe that people like IGA dont come here cause he can hardly read english. There is probably some japanese Akumajo Dracula forum where he lurks. Maybe that's where he got the idea for the artwork in DoS and PoR.... "I wish Castlevania was more like Dragon Ball!" some japanese schoolgirl/boy probably wrote in the past, and IGA thought to himself: WOW THAT IS SO COOL!!1"

If Mercury Steam got their ideas for Lawds here this forum should burn to the ground.

I don't know... we do come up with some great ideas some of the time.

[Gunlord]

Pardon my ignorance, but what's lawds?

[shelverton.]

I think it's Lawds like "Lawds of Shadow". So I guess they're dissing the entire game
But I may very well be wrong, I usually am. 

[Aridale]

no lawd is like how a black person would say lord like in church. Oh LAWDY!!! LAWDY!!! PRAISE JESUS!!! that kinda thing

[Dremn]

I figured it was a nick name for this game but ok

[crisis]

lawd have mercy..

I like what you did there lol.

Well, I preordered two copies of the limited edition. Cox, Alvares and Konami must be happy now. However, I can cancel my order anytime so don't piss me off
