Comments welcome.

oh man I could see this turn into a bash-fest real fast.


I say let Cox/MercurySteam handle the consoles & IGA should worry about the portables.

[Rugal]

Cox destroyed a 24 year legacy.

Let IGA work on the other timeline. I see no problem with having 2 stories coexist simultaneously.

[Kingshango]

Let him continue work on the other timeline on the handheld/ digital distrubution front and let Cox and Mercurysteam deal with the big budget console alt universe.

Two timeline's, two development teams, more Castlevania's, everyone is happy.



Unless one of the timeline's get sent to the back old Yeller style by Konami.........

[Koutei]

He should leave Konami, and make Nanosaga-Judgment.

[Kale]

I chose the second, but I would much rather prefer one that says "he should pay me to design a new game"

[C Belmont]

After OOE I don't get the feeling that Iga has much more to offer the timeline...  & I could use someone to shine my shoes

I chose slot number 1. He sould leave Konami and do his own thing. I'd be good for him and good for Castlevania.

-X

[CristopherLee]

I feel the obligation to take slot number 4 

[Munchy]

I guess my mind was violated by a dark priest because none of these apply. I'd say give the guy more time/budget to work with. (Though I'm not against a 1999 game either.)

People still seem to forget that Cox will not "take over" the series. So the term Coxlevania is very temporary. He will probably make one more game and that's it.

I say let IGA finish his own timeline, and then let someone else take over. We don't know who it will be, all we know is that it probably won't be Dave Cox.

i want to him always be hanging around and make the occasional CV game.  but i also want to see new teams takes on the series.  i just wish new teams' games could be made to "fit" in the canon somehow (not LoS though or any of its sequels, its too late for that now).  it seems like they'd need Iga's permission to do this, so I at least want them to work with Iga a little bit just so their ideas don't derail the whole timeline.

He should leave Konami, and make Nanosaga-Judgment.

Everyone's dream come true.

I'd like to see a game where he's actually the director again. Then if that game's actually good then oh hey cool. Otherwise, we make him shave his beard.

Give someone else the old saga, keep Mercury with the "cinematic" one. Fire IGA that man ran out of ideas since it's second game, they are well executed and his games are very good (or garbage, the last ones) but he has no ambition, no intention for the saga to have sense, to evolve, to change in any way onto the new trends of storytelling quality and gameplay, I'm just tired of playing a game with mehcanics of 1997. If it was in my hand, I would fire IGA (of the saga of course, he's fine with his other work: LOVE SIMULATORS and SCROLL SHOOTERS - prime genres they are - ) and I woulg get an ambitious fan team to work in the old timeline, erasing some games from it and reboot it... but from the old prespective.

The 1999 game can wait, IGA wouldn't make it justice.
