When in the heck are they going to make a game about the famous battle of 1999. I mean, that's one of the most famous events in the game's history!

Y'know at this point I don't really see the need. We already know what happens. AoS and DoS explained it all.

True, but it would still be nice to see how they actually defeat Dracula for good and how strong the young Julius actually was.

WOOOOW

Well hopefully the reason for IGA's absense is because he's working on it, in gorgeous HD 2D!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt we'll ever get a game for the 1999 events, but at least we know what happens, for the most part. I would still love to see a game of this come out. Then we'd have a whole "sorrow" trilogy

The difference between games that haven't come out and the 1999 game is that we know what happened in Julius's story because AoS said it. Julius fought Dracula with the help of the Hakuba family, sealed Dracula, left the whip in the castle, and lost his memory.

Quite a bit different than "X Belmont goes into Castle, fights and kills Dracula."

actually I'd be just fine if they didn't do a game. Don't want any George Lucas Syndrome. He already took a lot of liberties with COD (though I love the game).

yeah, but that's still a lame summary. 

epople could make a single sentenace summary of LOI/COD/SOTN/CoM/AoS/DoS/OoE story, and it's totally different from actually playing those adventures and experiencing it yourself.

I would like to meet the Hakuba who were involved, and the bosses they fought, and the differences of the castle, and
the new gameplay twists they might add, etc. etc.

sigh....I guess some people don't care about Castlevania franchise much.

Umm franchise? or did You mean IGAverse storyline?

[GrantDaMummy]

It doesn't seem IGA really had any hard plans to make a 1999 game.

GR: Kind of changing gears a little bit. Obviously the back story of the two Sorrow games is the Dracula War of 1999. Can you tell us when we might find out more about that story, and Julius?

KI: You want more details of the War in 1999?


GR: That story sounds very exciting - the final battle against Dracula. I was wondering when in general, we might find out more...

KI: Did you know that my game creation is not based upon the timeline? I come up with the gameplay system and then try to find the right timeline. There was one product where I actually started off with the timeline - that was Lament of Innocence on PS2.

GR: Because that started the series.

KI: Right. But I always come up with the gameplay system first. Currently I do take control of my team members but I want to think about the gameplay system first - I do complain and make a lot of comments to it. But once the team comes up with the new game system and then I think it's right to put it in 1999, then I will tell a story in that timeline.

GR: But you're in charge of the scenario writing for all the games, right?

KI: Actually I'm thinking of retiring with the storyboards. Maybe I will only review, not writing from scratch.

I'm sorry... I'm getting busier and busier. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting too old. I'm just waiting for my lottery winnings and then I can leave Konami.

I personally think that castlevania doesnt need, but could use the boost that this potential game would offer. Think about it, AoS & DoS already gave a general description of the events, but I would love to see how it played out first-hand.

[Ahasverus]

That interview was the one that made change my opinion about IGa, since I've read it, I hated him. He sucks, I mean, with That I realised that he only make games for $$$$ and without thinking of us, the fans; correct me if I'm wrong, but we all love Castlevania because its story and it's a shame that IGa doesn't care about that and he makes it only for stuff.

[X]

Well if IGA's going to do a castlevania game about the 1999 sinario then he'd better do it right. I would personally take the game back to it's roots and give the castletroid formula a rest. This game is obviously about war; the demon castle war of 1999. It should be a hardcore action game with lots of interesting things going on and a solid story with a dynamite cast to boot. But knowing IGA it just might be a pipedream.
