Topic: Harmony of Despair (The next Castlevania game?)

NO! NOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Why is this happening to Castlevania? It′s become everyone′s bitch.

This is so ffffing bad. The only thing about stupid LOS I am looking forward to are the music arrangements of old CV tunes. It′s a little crazy, but the only game that I am looking forward to is Castlevania Puzzle game! Can′t believe there is nothing else.

Please, please, let there be a CV game in development for Nintendo 3DS..coming fall 2010! It will happen! It WILL happen! It WILL, it WILL, it WILL!

Well this shit(and by shit I mean this game)has just got real, and if IGA has anything at all to do with this......

[knightmere]

Will this game have anything to do with HOD at all?

Well given the alledged info we have, all signs point to no.

[Reinhart77]

Country of origin is listed as "Japan", so it doesn't look like this is a European side-game and I don't know why it wouldn't be something Iga's working on.  If so, it's a little harder to believe "Alucardvania" will ever happen, unless Iga's able to work on "two" Castlevania side-projects while LoS is in development and then afterwards work on the main thing.  Or maybe they just want to wait until they see what happens with LoS before moving forward with it?

This comment was just too true... DAMN YOU KONAMI!!

Geez, Rocket Knight gets a complete overhaul but Castlevania still gets recycled sprites from the Turbo-Grafix 16. Ouch.

[shelverton.]

So, the game is developed in Japan but it's called Castlevania? Are they going back to the Castlevania name AGAIN? Even that title screen said Castlevania. Wouldn't it make more sense if the leaked title screen said Akumajo Dracula? Or are they aiming for the western market only? That would explain why it's on the 360, I guess.

confirmed: multiplayer castlevania

not confirmed: those shitty screenshots

But then Rocket Knight doesn't get a sequel every year. For the record by the way I'm calling those HD screenshots fake.

[VGuyver]

Mna, I actualy wish Rocket Knight adventures was bought off by Nintendo or SEGA. They could really use the awesoem mascot because Konami's been sitting on it's assses with a franchise that's awesome and doesn't give a damn.

But then again, they've really stopped focusing on most of their fan loved franchises and seem to only focus on Metal Gear Solid games and their slew of Guitar Hero/utar Freaks franchises. Thus Castlevania is treated as second rate franchise.

[Nagumo]

Well, Castlevania got an awful lot of spin-offs lately for a second rate franchise. Not as much as Metal Gear but still.

And there is also LoS.       

 

[Dremn]

Right now the franchise is going through a period where it's trying to find a new suitable direction to sustain long term growth. If LoS is a success the franchise will pick up again. I don't know if Iga will ever be back around the franchise though, that's up to Konami and if the demand is high enough.

Then again, he did help with the recent Castlevania Adventure ReBirth, so maybe he'll continue making 2D games after all.

(still crossing my fingers for ReBirth 2)

wonder if we'll see anything on this at E3.  LoS and EotN will be there.

I'm sure there will be something of it, but I'd rather see Castlevania the Arcade for the Wii or the Playstation motion thing
