Topic: Yet another rumor: IGArashi making 3D game for 3DS

[darkwzrd4]

This is good news I think.  I bet it's either the 1999 game or the Alucardvania that's assumed to be a direct sequel to SotN.

Ah-ha..... hahahahahahaha!!! Ahasverus, I could only imagine the sour expression on your face. "Urgh... IGA... 3D CV for 3DS!!! Phooey! Everybody knows MS would make a WAY better game!!!". LOL.

Does that mean we'll finally get a somewhat decent explination as to why the Belmonts can't use the whip?

-X

Taking this with a HUGE grain of salt. Anybody know if this guy's 'sources' have ever been correct in the past?

If it's true, I really hope it'd be a 2.5D game like DXC. If 3D, let's hope IGA knows what he's doing.

Castlevania leaks from low-key sources such as this are fairly common

Haha no way man, CV is good in any platfform, I think this time could be.. interesting, now he HAS a solid gameplay base to work from, don't you think?  

Of course Mercury could make a WAAAY better game but, this is great news for the old saga, I don't want it to be unfinished or half realised, every effort is more than welcome, I think it's time to have faith in the old afroman, for the last time that is.

True, see my Harmony of Despair thread, no one believed that mish mash of stages and sprites from other vania games would be a XBLA game.

I remember when info prior to PoR's release was leaked from gamefaqs that had the community up in arms. The same thing happened with OoE (a guy from Konami posted a screenshot of the game before it was even announced)

[Munchy]

3D artists are working on it and the 3D camera is going to be used...

It could still be a 2.5D game, ala Dracula X Chronicles. And if it isn't, for the love of God he needs better level designers.

Well I hope that LOS has made Iga realise that platforming is still an important part of Castlevania's gameplay.

So long as it isn't MercurySteam's particular brand of "platforming" (ie really slow wall shimmying Uncharted bullshit) and is just honest to god jumping between platforms, I'm cool.

I wonder how they would use the camera though... I can see it being great for survival horror, but for something like Castlevania it's just begging to be another throwaway gimmick like the seals in DoS.

[uzo]

Oh god. I don't know if I want a 3D Castlevania from IGA. Much less on a handheld. I really hope they just stick to 2D gameplay. 2.5D is cool too.

[shelverton.]

I hope this isn't going to be a launch title for the 3DS, cause that means they'll need to rush it. Looking back at some of the better-selling Castlevanias, they were always launch titles, or released very early on. At least "Circle of the Moon", which I think was a launch game, right? Anyhow, it cracked the 1 million. Maybe because people are buying whatever few games are on the shelves when they get a new console/handheld.

Having a new game ready for the 3DS launch is great for sales, especially for a niche series like Castlevania. But the quality could take a hit because of it. Dunno.

If IGA is indeed making this game, I wouldn't be surprised if the subtitle is something with "3DS" in it. Dunno... Castlevania: The Three Demon Slayers!!!1 

Or
Castlevania: Third... Dunno.. Sorrow-game?[/b] 

[DragonSlayr81]

^^^ 3rd Day of Sorrow. LOL!

[whitedragon_nall]

Castlevania 3: Dracula's Sacrilege. A 3D remake of CVIII. OK, so sacrilege and curse don't really mean the same thing....it still makes sense though......

Castlevania: 3rD Sorrow

[Dark Nemesis]

I can't yet say if these are good or bad news...........i'll wait for the first images or video to rise, until i say if we are going to have another recycled game or something new, that for so long we have been waiting.
