Topic: Why Bloodlines didn't need to be "fixed

[Ed Oscuro]

Bloodlines didn't need to be fixed because it was a fine game.  To hell with the story.  Y'all still playing CV for Iga Fun Storytimes?  P=

We don't really know enough to say that for sure.

LoS has stated only that it is not a part of the main continuity - it is non-canon from the start. A stand-alone title does not make an entirely new canon, and thus far from what I've heard, it sounds more like LoS will be a standalone game, or at the very most a small self-contained two or three games.

Thats the impression I've gotten so far, anyway.

We also do not know for sure the fate of Iga's timeline; if its still going to be perpetuated with new games, or if its done for good.

The last word that we have on the matter is that Iga's timeline is still canon, so the natural assumption is unless otherwise stated that is still the case.

Fan continuity will never be official, but neither will Konami's, at least until they are able to include every game.

As much as I love arguing with Giz he is correct in this matter (as far as that above statement is concerned.)

Iga is/was the lead on the Castlevania series regardless if you liked what he did or not ( I personally dont really care much for his story but the ol chap gave it a shot) SO what he states as a canon is a canon even though I dont understand throwing out Circle of the Moon and Legacy of Darkness as well as Legends ( Personally i liked the fact the first Belmont was a hot blonde chick) only to throw Legacy of Darkness back into the current timeline (this was proven with the official timeline that was included with the bonus PoR package). Flip flopping like that just confuses everyone.

Anyway since KONAMI let IGA continue the story all his games are cannon (Even though I dont care much for what he did) So you really can't as a fan consider IGA's timeline not cannon because Konami has done nothing nor said anything that supports his timeline as non cannon.

And Dave Cox has stated numerous on numerous occations that Lords of Shadow is a stand alone game and not apart of the original story line (Meaning that IGA's story is cannon wether you like it or not)

"As of this moment in time it seems that Konami has decided that Iga's canon isn't worth keeping around. "

So far this statement seems to be true since IGA has failed to produce a ground breaking 3d Castlevania title and again regardless of what you think Konami must not have gotten the profit they wanted out of it. But it is too early to tell if they think IGA's story line is worth keeping or not because they have yet to reveal what is new project is or said anything on the matter.
