Topic.  If I need to add something let me know quickly.

You forgot to add "Extreeeeeeeeme" and "Why isn't Bomberman picking up his phone? I hope he didn't get into an accident."

I thought about the MGS-funding for Castlevania, but it seems the only way to get that is for the game to also have Kojima's insanity as well, so...

Thanks for absolutely nothing Konami, and Lords of Shadow blows. I can't wait to see how you butcher Contra next with the upcoming reboot.

Luckily for Contra, Cox and Mercurysteam have nothing to do with the Contra reboot( though he wish he did.)

LOL, All of the above! I would've loved to see the choice, "Die Konami, you do not belong in this realm!".

Can't vote since all of the above seem to fit the bill.

Lords of Shadow wasn't that bad.  It just wasn't a real CV game.  Well, there are a few rough edges and I would do a few things different, but I like it.  I am disappointed that we didn't get something for the 25th anniversary.  Let's face it, Konami couldn't care less about CV now.  Probably why they outsourced it to Mercury Stream.

Then vote for all of them.

While I am disaapointed the wasn't anything I am happy for ps3 HoD.
I'm willing to hold out for TGS but after that there is no hope. What a shame

This is pretty much how I feel too. TGS might be a little too late though, if we want something this year. Konami seems to love releasing the games in October and with TGS is September, that gives practically no time for marketing. Then again, Konami seems to have forgotten how to hype any of their non-MGS franchises.

I'm just baffled by CV's non-status at e3. Konami acted like they wanted to revitalize the franchise with LOS...bring a bigger fanbase in. Konami says they're pleased with its success (despite zero marketing). Then CV reverts back to redheaded stepchild status now that E3 rolls around. Wouldn't be so concerning if it wasn't the series' 25th anniversary. I just want to know what the future holds for the series.

I still think an AMAZING HD-sprite remake of the first game would have been a great way to celebrate the 25th anniversary. But then again, there hasn't been a great remake of the first game and probably never will be. :\

I have a new homebrew job to take up.

What had me with hope was that Cox kept saying via Twitter that "his team had nothing planned." Which lead me to believe that perhaps the Japan studio or IGA himself had plans to do something. Guess not.

So wtf were all those rumors of 3D modelers being hired for a possible 3DS Castlevania? Poppycock!

The only reasonable explanation for not showing a game in development, is if it's in the concept stage.  Meaning even if there's something going on, it won't be ready this year and the Anniversary is still screwed.  And about Cox...  Let's not put to much stock in what he says --he obviously got ahead of himself talking about the QTEs.
