Topic: Super Castlevania IV's graphics overrated?

Of all the things someone could put down Super Castlevania IV over, the graphics cannot be one of them. ;) I'd go so far as to be an ass and say that it's purely objective how great them grafix is.

Dracula XX is terribly cartoony. I like it, but IV has a much more refined look. Despite the cartoony color palette of the SNES, the developers managed to create something really dark and moody. It's much like Demon's Crest in that regard. A high level of artistry was put into CV IV, and the music goes hand-in-hand with its visuals.

Nope. CV4 had great graphics for it's time.

are you contrarian or what

NO.

Why does this thread exist?

Graphics for Super Castlevania IV was pretty much awesome.

Especially around the time when I first played it on my Super Nintendo so many years ago.

Don't you see? You guys are all blinded by nostalgia.

Coming out in 1991 and being one of the first SNES games, I'd say they pretty great. And aside from that I still think they hold up nicely

And as far as saying that it didn't have as bright of colors as Dracula XX, I like that better, since when is ancient castles full of monsters and demons supposed to be colorful?

Castlevania Adventure had shit graphics! And hell, even its sequels. You would think after the first game they would have made an effort to at least ADD A LITTLE COLOR TO THE GAME!

How does Sinful have only 88 posts with a -45 respect rating lol?

anyway the graphics are universally praised for obvious reasons. veterans that have been playing CV since the 80s agree, and even n00bs agree with some oddball exceptions. no one here needs to sit down & explain to you why they think so just so you can pick apart each post & try to prove them wrong. don't tase me, bro

Apparently because it can?

I'd say it'd be pretty likely for him to be the first one to hit -100 rep, especially after he proved himself an idiot through this thread.

I know most prefer this games graphics. I opened up with that. So without a doubt I know there was gonna be strong resistance to this topic. But what I want to know is if anyone out there thinks like me, that they aren't all that great? And, if they have the balls to say it too, and not fear losing popularity at the same time?

You see, we all have preferences, and to me, this game's graphics aren't within my preferences. If they're within your, then yeah that's great, and wouldn't be the first time I heard it.

And I highly doubt me starting a topic like this would put a samper on this games popularity anyways. So let's not go there.

Now this is interesting. This is actually one way I wanted to open this thread. As I'm wondering if this is a possibility too? You see, I played this game at the start of the 32-Bit era, and maybe because of that I didn't have any nostalgia holding me back? It would like to hear if anyone who played this game after it's time still thinks this game is not overrated graphics wise?

I did not play Sciv till I got a wii so I really do not think the graphics are overrated.Hell what I think is good graphic wise is probably different from most people my age I just missed the mark of 16-bit(born in 92') but I grew up on them with a bit of 32/64 bit 3d gaming  If anything the only classicvania that really has nostalgia for me is CVIII, the beginning of my gaming life.
