Chances are these all would've turned out pretty bad, but which do you think had the most potential?


Bloodletting
We all should know about what happened with this, but would you have bought a 32x just to play it?? (note: there was a fanmade remake of this, but I have no idea what the status on this project is)


The Belmont Legacy vol. 2
Not too many people enjoyed this comic, but the series ended in a cliffhanger with Soleiyu being born, possibly hinting at Belmont's Revenge getting an adaptation..


Castlevania "Dracula Begins"

This was the teaser poster for the proposed CV movie that was announced a while back. 'Twas to be directed by Paul Anderson until the Writer's Strike took effect, then James Wan alledgedly showed interest, then who knows what happened with this.

Castlevania Resurrection
A lot of info of this is available on the web, but did it have potential to be one of the better 3D Castlevanias??


Dracula's Curse Animation
Would've been directed by Warren Ellis, but for reasons unknown, the project was canned leaving us with what could've been..


Akumajo Dracula PS3/360
The infamous "Alucardvania," IGA's 3rd attempt to bring Castlevania to mainstream consoles in glorious 3D. Only thing we are left with is this ominous image of Alucard..


Yami no Juin manga vol. 3
This comic series was discontinued after two volumes for reasons that were never clarified. All that remains is the artwork that was to serve as Vol. 3's cover


America's pitch for the "new" CV title
Only thing we know about this is from what Cox has told us. I can't find the interview, but he basically said it was a game that Konami's American studio was creating, but never got greenlit.

SotN game.com port
If you were one of the 15 people that owned a game.com, would you have spent the extra cash on this?

I chose Akumajo Dracula PS3/360, if only for the fact it can be reworked into a downloadable 2.5D title. It has the most potential "resurrection" status. There's been a new downloadable title on every platform minus PS3, so maybe it could be reworked into that..

I chose the same one, but I would like it to be 3D.

I was the first to choose that..... and I too want a 3d game.

Don't choose Resurrection... as much of a Sonia fanboy that I am, I heard what the story was supposed to be... it made me cringe.

I chose the CoD manga vol. 3, but I also want the 3D Alucardvania (which may not have been cancelled yet, we still don't know its fate yet).  I can't see why the CoD manga was canceled.  I was just getting good.  The only thing I didn't like was that if was from the point of view of that kid.  It shouldn't have been that way.

i'd like to see 3D Alucardvania, but i've had many more years of wishing that Resurrection would have come out, so that outweighs it right now.  plus, i still half expect the Alucardvania to come out in some fashion after the Mercury Steam titles have run their course.

there's a game that ended in a cliff-hanger that will probably never be resolved, which is Order of Shadows.

I know a lot of people were skeptical of the CV 3 animated movie, but I was really looking forward to it and I'm disappointed that it just disappeared off the face if the earth, even a confirmation of it being canceled at this point would be nice! So I voted for the cv 3 movie.
The other one I'd like to see is the ps3/360 Alucard game. There's probably more hope for that
What a horrible night to have a curse!

I want to see Resurrection come into fruitation. It looked as though we were getting a more graphically superior version of CV64/LoD.

I chose the Akumajo Dracula 360/PS3 cause it would have been sweet to have a 3D sequel to SOTN.

Plus it has the high chance of being resurrected in some shape or form ( If Dead Island can come back after 4 years of being vaporware and be the talk of the gaming community, anything is possible.)

I chose resurrection, because i bellieve a release of the game with todays technology, would be awesome and at the same time old school style game play and platforming, that we missed so much!!! About the scenario, it could be redone!!! I also remembering a reporter, asking IGA about Resurrection as a bonus game and IGA answering that if time allows it, it might hapen  :P

Resurrection would be my second choice actually, after Akumajo Dracula PS3/360. I'm a fan of Sonia, she's an awesome character with lots of potential.

PS3/X360 IGA-vania! I was looking forward to that one. Hell, if he could learn some things from the level design seen in LoS, and put that to use, I'd love to see this title resurrect.

I still hate the idea of Resurrection(which is funny, considering I ended last paragraph with "resurrect"). They only way I'll acept it would be if they overhauled the plot(NO time travel, just set it in a chosen period that both Belmonts hail from), as well as the art direction(urgh, the character designs were bad). I don't mind Sonia or Victor being characters still(they were never my problem), as long as the whole time travelling is killed off. I mean, "a time where there's NO Belmont"? They would HAVE to be a Belmont, or else Victor would've never been born(LOL, or Richter for that matter).
