Topic: why there's still hope

[Dengo vlad tepes]

Well guys , its been almost one year since konami announced their anniversary project and we still haven't seen anything about this project well i'm very sure its not LOS 2 because mercury steam's CV is not even 3 years old yet so it will be funny to see mercury missing with something older than its career lol

and what about that Alucardvania they announced 4 years ago ? of course its not canceled yet , some peoples say they replaced it with los ok i'll tell why it is not possible to replace Akumajovania with losvania , they both announced at the same time , the same event and the same publisher "konami" so its really impossible to replaced it with los or they wouldn't let iga announce that 3d game at the first place right ?

los is a different game than akumajo so except to see both LO2 and that 3D alucardvania this year as they announced both at the same event 4 years ago

let me hear your opinion and your prayers !

Wanna hear my prayers?

Please God, if the AlucardVania is still in the works against all odds, make it be in the hands of competent developers hopefuly a team formed by ex capcom employees, and for your love, keep Igarashi out of the series until Armageddon, amen.

Hmm man, I hate, really hate to crush someone's illusions but.., look, the (horrible looking) Alucardvania trailer was not meant to be released,  shown or announced. Igarashi was UPSET that it was shown at that event (it's not the same. Lords was annou8nced at gamescom, AlucardVania "shown" at TGS) The trailer was for Konami internal showing only, it kinda leaked in the show. It was probably the pitch Igarashi made for the internal competition about the current gen Castlevania, won by Mercury and Lords.

Do you think it was unfair? ok, let's compare this
Castlevania PS3/360 '08 prototype (English Subtitles)

To this
Castlevania Lords of Shadow Simon Belmont Beta Footage

IGA had no chance.

So, with the remote posiility of AlucardVania being alive (it's not), IGA shouldn't put his incompetent hands on it.

I'm a classic castlevania fan , so i prefer to play a castlevania with a horrible graphics than to play Los

You're out of luck, sorry

In a perfect world, the "Alucardvania" would be retrofitted to the PS Vita. However there's no indication that this will happen (yet).

David's Cox confirmed that there were other CV projects that were being pitched to Konami, but those were canned in favour of his LoS. Also, when asked if he had any info on the "Alucardvania," he promptly replied, "I have no idea."

Also, a motion-capture actor did an interview several months back confirming that he went to Japan to do work on a 3D Castlevania game, then later said that the project was canceled for reasons he didn't know. I'd provide the link but I didn't save it, it's on this forum a few pages back somewhere though.

The only way we'll get a straight answer is if IGA ever does another interview again. Last time he did one was in 2008.

Alucardvania?

From henceforth CV1 is now known as Simonvania.

This would be perfect. Konami could market it as the sequel to its "PSP Classic Dracula X Chronicles" and give it a musical title keeping the "Rondo" and "Symphony" tradition, like, "Sonata of Twlight" or something. Having it markete as the sequel to SOTN would give the game skyrocket expectations it wouldn't live up in a million years so as a sequel to it's "Highly remarked Dracula X series" is certainly better

You suggested something !

Ash, is it any wonder why your respect points are -40?

Well, let me put it into perspective for you: Your blatant fanboyism is irritating.

And I should care because...?

And one more thread for nothing special or new.

C'mon, guys, something new should be announced at E3. They can't announce a new game every 6 months.

Nope. You don't have to care, but feel free to continue to be the same annoying prat that you always have been.

Agreed, E3 is one month away and I really doubt that all Konami has to show is MGR:R and PES. Just because we haven't had any news about Castlevania (aside from some vauge yet plausable rumors) doesn't mean they're not working on one.

4 weeks guys, just 4 more long ass weeks. And if they don't show anything then we can panic.

[Dengo vlad tepes]

This E3 it'll be like a Heaven or hell !

why there's still hope

So long as there is still one fan bitching about this series, there is hope!

But seriously, how many IGAvanias are there? If you are unhappy with the direction that Konami has decided to take the series, there are plenty of other CV games to play. In fact, new games in general just don't interest me that much anymore, but there are tons of old games out there that will always be awesome.

All this time bitching about things online that we have no control over could be better spent, I don't know, outside & talking to women?
