Topic: His name is Simmon Beaumont, that is the name of yourself

[beingthehero]

Even though he's been in almost too many remakes, I still think we need Simon to be brought back. And I don't mean via pale imitators like Gabe. We need the original guy.

Should he be brought back for a remake, or an all-new title? I know many want a remake or retelling of Simon's Quest, but I think they could do a side-story where Simon goes off after another vampire or monster as well. Anybody agree?

Simon just needs a new story.  I'm sure a creative writer can find a good reason for the dude to pull the old whip back out.

I'd love it if he starred in a completely new game  
He is just too badass to retire already

I would like to see Simon in another game, but I can't foresee any worthwhile stories that can be told that'll make him even more badass than he already is. But as I say, I have it all figured out, exactly how Julius manages to finish off Dracula forever, so please wait a little longer.

I'd say they should do a retelling of Simon's Quest, and make a sequel that resolves that 20 + year old cliffhanger as well.

20 + year old cliffhanger as well.   

Which one..

a) Did Dracula actually die or is that hand rising from the grave the canon ending?
b) is the young man mentioned in the ending Simon's son?
c) or is the canon ending the one where Simon dies?

[Successor The Cruel]

Yes, which one?  Also...

What the heck?  You wanna' give me back my signature?  Thanks. : /

Juste is Simon's grandson.

apparently this is the cannon ending, but was never followed up on. I think we need a proper sequel to CV2 even though for the longest time, I had thought that SCV4 was the sequel. But we can't let IGA write the story. He'd mess it up somehow.

What they need is a remake of Harmony of Dissonance.  Make it mostly the same, except that every time Just goes "I should decorate this room," or "Maxime, I can't live without you!" or "Collecting Dracula's relics is sooooo haaaaard," it just cuts to old-grandaddy Simon, shaking his head and sighing.

[VampirehunterB]

nah,Simon has done his part, leave his classic story the way it has been introduced..just goes into the castle, slaying everything in the way(as the alpha male he is=)..and then he goes back, saying nothing.

Let Simon rest in peace.  We've had plenty of games with him already.  If he stared in another game, it would likely be a remake of CV1 or CV2 and we have had plenty of CV1 remakes already.  A CV2 remake with either SotN graphics or in 3D would be ok.  Actually, a 3D remake of CV2 has the potential to be a great game if executed correctly.  I would probably be happy with it seeing how I never go to play the original.

I'm pretty sure it's mine.   

Anyways, I always assumed the ending where Dracula's hand rises from the grave is the canonical ending. If I worked at Konami and I wanted to bring back Simon in another game, I know which one I would chose. : )

Yep. I'd say Simon's Quest is one of the few games that really needs remaking. Provided it's a Resident Evil Rebirth or BC: Rearmed style remake that adds something substantial to the game.

For example, separating hearts and money. Actual clues. Actual bosses. More mansion areas, perhaps to match the number of Dracula's relics in HoD.

What if a Simon's Quest remake contained wall shimmying? Munchkins would absolutely love all that.
