Topic: if you could change one thing in sotn, what would it be?

thread probably done before, but w/e.
i'd want to go out the chapel and into the forest-

Some campy parts of the dialogue are legendary, but some things should simply be removed. Like parts of Drac's speech after defeat. I mean, he quotes the Bible..

It's a grueling death match between father and son, not the conclusion of a James Bond movie. It's cool Drac quotes it, seeing as he used to be a devoted man of God, but it doesn't fit the situation. Al's reaction is exactly what I thought when I heard it the first time.

I think its biggest flaw is its difficulty.  So, I would change that, if it can be counted as one thing.

[Long John Silver]

I'd upgrade Richter with new stuff. New sprites, few additional moves like doublejump, backdash, additional whips to collect like Leon or cod Trevor etc.

The man needs new looks finally. It's been over 14 years since his first appearance and he still looks like pulled straight from rondo, dammit!

[Mr Sven]

Number one on my list is difficulty - so that would be ramped right up to maybe CoTM difficulty.

Secondly I'd put some restrictions on being able to go anywhere you like in the Inverted castle as soon as you get there. you can miss out loads of neat stuff or collect better stuff before other weapons that makes them completely obsolete then you tend not to use them and it feels like a waste...

thirdly but least important is to flesh out Richters game and give it some linearity too, otherwise it just feels like a jumbled mess where you can go strait to drac if you really want.

Redrawn sprites in HD, and difficulty and enemy attacks.

[The Last Belmont]

Give Alucard a gun subweapon instead of the useless cross, something like Nathan's in CoM. That'd be cool.

Drac quoting the bible was FTW :-) deff just after one of my replays it was the verse of the week on moody bible radio- called my mom "Hey, did you hear the verse of the week?" "Yeah" "Its from Castlevania! Dracula quotes it" "*sigh*"

Adding MORE story and makeing the game longer - increase the difficulty in some of the fights- skill wise not just "Oh i need to use XYZ wepon/armor combo to cheat-win"

and always...more succubus

Speaking of God, I don't think he is present in this forum right now after reading that.

Dracula's Bible reference wasn't sarcasm?

Meh...change...give a more epic Castle Kepp, that's all

[Pedrith]

I would not really change anything in SOTN, but overall I would change Matthias from becoming Dracula.  I would leave them as two separate vampires and have them make war over the Crimson stone with the Belmonts and most of Europe at the time caught in the middle.

Actually I would have the SoTN score completely redone with live instruments and do away with the ending theme.

It was sarcasm, which makes it even more inappropriate.

what..........? What does God have to do with what I said?

I thought SotN was live instruments. Or am i confusing that with something.
