Topic: 25th Anniversary --What sort of Tribute do you seek?

[Claimh Solais]

When were those days, Claimh Solais lol? I can't recall CV1 or 2 looking all that great. Though 2 had a good mood to it.

...Super Castlevania 4.
...Rondo of Blood.
...Symphony of the Night.

...Just sayin'.

[thernz]

I don't think there were even Metal Gear games developed in the time frame stretching between those games.

...when the Metal Gear games looked all NOTHING and such and Castlevania had the stupidly high budget to make the games look phenomenal?

Fixed, heh.

I did like the whole team shuffling thing Konami seemed to do at that time. Gave each title a batch fresh blood.
...Of course, when they did reuse a team, it was Rondo's, masters of their craft, and we got SoTN.

Well, if you wanna put it like that, thernz. Heh. ^.^

^^^ See, 15 year anniversary and RE gets a SWEET-ASS package. 25 year anniversary, and CV gets..... crap. Dracula's rolling over in his coffin.

If only Konami could make something like this for the CV anniversary...nah...dream on...

It's quite unfair to compare those two, since before release of the MGS in 1997, there were only three games in the series. All of them were released somewhere around 1990 on the weak consoles, while CV games were released almost each year and on different, far more advanced consoles.

However, for it's time MG2:SS looked very good, especially given console it was released on. And in terms of gameplay and story it was far more advanced than any contemporary and some of future CV titles.

Totally. If only it came out in America and Europe...

I don't think the Kojima book counts cause it's not CV only, and those tribute CDs kind of suck

[KaZudra]

How about a Castlevania game that evolves from the Super Castlevania IV style

[cecil-kain]

Well 45% of you still favor some sort of rerelease --with more than half of those in favor of a Chronicles style update.  It surprises me Dracula's Curse is more favored than the CV1 & CV2 combo...  curious...

[K.G. Morder]

Well I dont know about everyone else, but im SICK of CV1. Its got over 9000 remakes and versions and updates- Im SICK of seeing it. Simon si just plain overrated by now quite frankly. The rest of the classicvanias need love too.

I would love a remade CV2 actually. I mean, if done right, they could basically turn it into a metroidvania. (conidering it is sort of the spiritual predecessor)

[Profbeanburrito]

I think it's funny you say Simon is over rated but we need a Simons Quest remake

[Pemburu Vampir]

Honestly, both Simon's Quest and Dracula's Curse really deserve a remake.
