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

[X]

I voted option 3. Putting this title on a home console would allow for a more enhanced game then what the PSP itself could ever deliver. I'd definitely pick it up just cause it's on the "BIG" screen. As it was always meant to be.

On the other hand, if Konami sweetened the deal by adding something else along with DXC, then yeah, I'd probably get it.

Like the SNES version of Rondo. Then the DXC collection would be complete.

Good idea.
Give it better textures and we've got the deal.

But I don't think it'll happen. CDX is not MGS and that reason alone is enough to shot down this dream. Besides, it was released quite a time ago.
Maybe it could work as a dowloadable game, though. Even with original textures from PSP, it will be much better offer then CVHD.

I'd be just fine with a downloadable version. Could work for Konami, too. But I know they're not gonna do it.

As for DXC PSN/PS2/whatever "remix" being recycling; how many times has SotN been released? And I know Metal Gear is their golden boy, but MGS3 has been re-released..what..three times now?

It's more about letting the bigger public play this game than releasing it again. Fact is, a lot of people had to skip DXC because they didn't have the money to burn on a PSP (myself included). Now that the game is not sold new anymore, it's the perfect time to let the rest of us get a taste. The game is still fresh and interesting enough to sell, but old enough not to hurt physical copy sales.

No.

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

Plus, I've already played it long ago and didn't really like it that much. A new 2D Castlevania would be better, no more rehashes please.

I recall seeing the casing for the Chronicles edition of DX. But I felt so saddened that it was a PSP only title.
Plus the remake seemed like an interesting idea, and the art brought back an old friend.

To see it on console's, would warm my heart. *And it would be a fun edition to everyone's library. But to pull off a "Peace Walker" move, oh that would be just lovely.

How is a re-release going to stop them from doing a new game?

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

yea I would have to agree a compendium of most of the castlevania on one disk would definitely  give my bank account some relief.. ( could always emulate a few of the games I guess but it aint the same + the temptation to save state is always a massive vice for me..

most annoying thing  for me is that Dracula X Chronicles is the only castlevania related game on the psp, so forking out £60 for a second hand psp (or more if you don't need to tighten the belt of your savings), just doesn't seem worth it to me (  i think me recently spending £37, $40 on a second hand DS lite for  3 separate castlevania games instead seems more of like a lucrative and sensible purchase). it would be nice to make this available on multiple console formats, but a xbox 360 Dracula X Chronicles game? probably won't happen... ( especially since SoTN is already on xbla).

Its also on PSN.

So I fail to see your point.

had a bit of a look on the psn site and yes it indeed is.. but only for the US ..

( from uk.. sorry for the confusion T_T... + dont own a ps3 ...)

but yea  what I mean is.. since was a playstation related exclusive from the outset, not sure if it would remain as such, or if DXC would be available for all consoles..

[Gecko]

I'd be okay with this. Even if it was download-only, I'd love to play Dracula X Chronicles. It's the only real reason for me to get a PSP, and I haven't so...

[cecil-kain]

WOW --one third of you missed out on this?  We're the hardest of Castlevania's hardcore fans --this simply amazes me...  Considering the modest sales, and the PSP's vastly inferior market-share at the time --we can only wonder what could have been if Konami had originally developed DXC for the PS2 instead.  Considering the feedback here, this may be a cause worth fighting for...  Hmmm...
