Topic: Should the Dracula X Chronicles pull a Peace Walker?

[cecil-kain]

Recently started researching Castlevania's portable games sales and discovered the Dracula X Chronicles sold 350,000 copies (not including digital downloads).  Konami has already given Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker some HD treatment for release on home consoles, but I'm wondering how supportive we would be if Konami did the same for the DXC...

[Vrakanox]

I'd buy it again for home consoles in a heartbeat. But I'd rather have a new castleroid.

Although I really enjoyed Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles I'm not convinced that it would look spectacular on a larger screen and besides I'd much rather that Konami created something entirely original in the same vein.

Of course I'd buy it, and not just because Konami could market a stinky brown turd named Shittlevania and I'd still buy it.  Dracula X Chronicles is fantastic, but it's hard to enjoy because of the shoddy PSP screen, and it's a pain to hook it up to the TV, especially when the screen is still shrunken and the PSP-to-TV cord is super short.  They wouldn't even have to improve anything, just release it for the PS2 or PS3 so that it can play fullscreen with the Dualshock controller.

Konami needs to put all CVs on a disc (with quality emulation, hopefully) and sell them as an anthology on all platforms.

No more castleroids please, sick of them. Now I can see this getting a full screen console treatment, but for goodness sake leave the option for the original voice acting in, don't remove it. Now I do have a full screen Rondo on the Wii VC, but I wasn't too much a fan of the remake on PSP, I actually rushed through it to unlock the original Rondo (rushed through SotN too, I'm tired of playing that game). But what laid out before me was something I didn't care for, updated voice acting even for the Japanese voice actors.

Munchy: We could only wish for something like that, but Konami's not the Konami we once knew, they canned Gradius 6 of all things and don't make the type of games they used to, so likely it will never happen.

You know what I'd like to see? The classic outfits rendered in glorious 3D. Oh, and improved animations as well, the DXC backflip animation was just the same pose rotated 360 degrees instead of an improved version of the old backflip animation, which actually had torso and leg movement.

That and a 2.5d version of Symphony with lots of new content.

I wanted Dracula X Chonicles on PS2 when I first heard about it! Of course I'd snap it up day one. But Konami sucks I think these days, they only seem to push Metal Gear stuff. I never knew they were working on Gradius 6... Seems about time they should of made one, but guess now it will never be. Anyhow, we will be lucky to get another 3D game so I doubt this will ever happen. The last games I REALLY wanted to be on PS2 were only put on PSP, DX Chronicles and Gradius Collection. Capcom and SNK hooked up MOST of their good 2D stuff in collections/anthologies on PS2. Konami hasn't given us shit. Guess I will at least be getting Metal Gear HD Coll, Z.O.E. HD Coll, and Silent Hill HD Coll sometime. But what we all want and for some reason don't have is a damn Castlevania Collection!!!!

[A-Yty]

Aand they blew the SH HD Collection by replacing the original VA with something..not as good.

[Kingshango]

Im all for it since I didn't get a chance to play DXC(No PSP).

[JR]

I don't know if I would. I'd like to support a game I enjoyed, and I'd love to play it on the big screen with less hoops to jump through, but I wouldn't want to reward Konami for their laziness. They seem to be all about half-assed collections right now. On the other hand, if Konami sweetened the deal by adding something else along with DXC, then yeah, I'd probably get it.

[GuyStarwind]

Yeah! I know I would buy it. I loved the remake. With it being on large screen I can brag to my friends how awesome I am at that game and back it up.

[KaZudra]

No.

A revamp of a revamp sounds lazier than what konami is already doing.
