Topic: Exclusive: Konami confirms Castlevania 25th anniversary project

[JR]

How about a Castlevania Documentary on blueray/dvd? It could have plenty of interviews, never-before-seen footage of our favourite games being in development, cancelled games, cancelled pitches, secrets, artwork, stuff... Maybe someone already mentioned something like that?

That sounds excellent. I'd especially love to see something like that packaged with a game, if possible. It would be a pretty rare opportunity to see Konami offer up so much info to the fans about the behind-the-scenes stuff that's gone on with the series. Great way to celebrate its history, too.

A lot of staff of Konami have already left the office. And, Konami doesn't reveal a former employee. IGA did not open founder's staff's name to the public.

All interviews will become IGA.
XD

Sorry to say this but, Xbox360 and PS3 are nowhere close to Next-gen, sure its had a good run but they were out of Date since 2007.

But I already know how copy and paste works

Seeing unseen concept art & design docs would be pretty cool, I'd be hoping for something more comprehensive than mario's 25th Anniversary though.

And, Konami doesn't reveal a former employee.

I did wonder about this a bit. It would be nice to see them gather past employees to talk about their experiences, influences, etc., but also an impossible dream I guess.

  Outdated by what?

Please explain exactly how they are outdated?

Because last I checked a PS4 or Xbox720 has not been released yet.

So until that happens it IS still a Next Gen system and it IS NOT outdated.

And even then they still won't be outdated. Not until PS4 and Xbox720 are lowered in price and everyone stops using them.

I need to stop calling PS3 and Xbox360 next-gen. They're the new current-gen...

[Maedhros]

Times be hard, and not everyone can afford them. I no longer have a next-gen console since my 360 crapped out.

Then again, I'm still not really complaining.

Again, not Konami's problem. They're not charity, they're a company that sell games.

[Claimh Solais]

1) It's only natural for people to want a new game to be on a system that they actually own.

2) Did you not see the part where I said, "Then again, I'm still not really complaining."?

[Vlad_TepeZ]

I want some 2D action Metroidvania or Classicvania to be NOT on a handheld.

[cecil-kain]

Just something I'd like to point out....

Is anyone else concerned that NONE of the major media have confirmed this news with Konami?  It's nearly been a week and neither IGN nor 1up have picked up on this story...

[Maedhros]

1) It's only natural for people to want a new game to be on a system that they actually own.

2) Did you not see the part where I said, "Then again, I'm still not really complaining."?

1) Yeah, why they don't release a new Castlevania for me to play in my SNES or my Mega Drive? =/

2) Yeah, I know you're not complaining. Doesn't change what I said.

I'm not really following the jab you're trying to deliver here. Are you about to insinuate that the Wii is somehow superior to said consoles?  Cuz last time I checked, the Wii really is only a motion controller away from being a LAST-gen console.

[thernz]

I guess he just means they're current-gen. Next-gen is such an awful buzzword anyway.
