Topic: Is Iga washed up?

[Sumac]

To be fair he was involved in creation of both Castlevania Chronicles and Dracula X Chronicles and they features Simon and Richter. In Castlevania Chronicles Simon was even redesigned to go along with IGA's vision of the series. And there was Curse of Darkness featuring Trevor as one of the main heroes. Besides Richter and Maria appeared in the Portrait of Ruin as bonus characters, so it' not like IGA totally hates previous characters. Maybe he just like to create his own heroes.

Yeah, but they were taking about how IGA only put the characters he created (besides Alucard) in Harmony of Despair, and ignored some of the more iconic series characters in the process.

Yeah i think you missed the point, Simon nor Richter appear in Castlevania Harmony of Despair. Although Julius and Maria seem to be making an appearance. Though I dont think he really created Maria but again she didnt really shine until IGA came along.

[Sumac]

Yeah i think you missed the point,

Sorry about that. I thought you've talked about IGA'vanias in general.

I think the only reason none of classic characters didn't appear in the HD - it's the fact that they couldn't rip them out of previous games. And they too lazy / too short on money to create a brand new spriteset for this "game". Well maybe they will recolor Richter afterall...

Its cool no worries.


Speaking of ripping them from old games they managed to stick Alucard in there I dont see why they couldnt do the same for Trevor, Grant and Sypha (EDIT: since all three appeared in SotN)  hell even Simon from Chronicles couldve been done since putting IGAs poster boy in there was possible. Honestly I'm not buying the whole "it takes too much money to do that" excuse. They managed to created full brand new, re designed 3D models for Judgement. Also I dont really see many KOF fans and yet they managed to redraw and even redesign a lot of the characters for KOF 12 and 13. So I'm sorry to all the IGA fanboys and girls but it's laziness and lack of creativity.

Also on the same note of their poor choice in characters, least in my opinion, why must we suffer Maria in her child form again? I would much rather her grown up and again they could have just as easily added her SotN sprite just as they did with Alucard.

Trevor, Grant and Sypha

It's not that easy - they don't have complete spritesets. Sypha only floating, Grant only crawling. Trevor is the most complete of them all, howevfer he is not that different from Richter.
Anyway they need to draw many new sprites to complete this characters.

So let me get this straight you are saying they are too lazy to actually redraw new sprites?

DUH!

Although why they didn't put Adult Maria from the PSP game (or even the kickass version from the Saturn only with a better jump) is beyond me.

Either too lazy or not allowed. I know that sounds stupid, but I wouldn't totally doubt it, either.

Maybe there are lazy and just try to cut corners everywhere they can.
Maybe they don't paid enough to do such work.

And I'm agree abot Adult Maria - unlike others she is a complete character. They only need to put her in a game (maybe adding to gameplay modes - saturn-like and PSP-like). That's strange that they decided to use Lil' Maria.

I would think that payment is an issue. I mean, would you REALLY draw more sprites when you arne't paid to? If you do, then you're encouraging them to not pay you to do other work, then you end up being the one who did loads of work for no payment.

That's true!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do spriting 3/4 of my time and I'm not even being paid. IGA (and team) are lazy!

I wonder where all the budget is going.
