I wonder if we'll ever get that 3D Alucard game that was teased.

It's been 5 years, I think it's safe to say it's not coming, at least the way we want it to be.

Unless Konami is actually giving Iga a huge budget and development time for a next gen Castlevania, which is something the current Konami would neeeeeeeeever do unless your name is Hideo Kojima.


 

[Lelygax]

What about Silent Hill? Kojima is involved now in this game too? (Im clueless since I didnt even played the last SH games)

Also, interesting news: http://metalgearsolid.nl/?p=5661

Are we really talking iga and cox again. -_-'

Both have their good and bad

A thing has always struck me odd with IGA.

Why is that CoD was worst than LoI in all most all aspects.

I remember being a slight jackass at iga( not my usual self but, it happens) I think it was the If" IGA is tim burton then Cox is Christopher Nolan thread" that I made I think it went a little of the deep end.

But yes things like the 3d Alucard game made me go -_- but also it could have had Richter to be fair but chances were if that did happen he would have played second fiddle.

Over all I'm not that much into IGA, but I'm also not into Cox either as well with some of his remarks and such. In the end I just want a good game. Heck Portrait brought me back into the series back in high school and Lords of Shadow is a game I really enjoyed and even when compared to games like Devil may dry, ninja gaiden 2, and Dante's inferno it holds up in my opinion.

Ones time is done and another is ending this year most likely and well I think neither should come back. Is it crazy? Maybe offending? Perhaps. I know I have gotten a few negatives for speaking my mind on this matter but, heck I'm an advocate of the future not the past and as much as I love the old games(mostly classic  ) we gotta look forward and see what happens and not look back and squabble about things like oh IGAs this or Cox is well a dick(It seems no one is going to win and it rubs people in the wrong way ). 

The only thing I would look back and say what should come back is different teams with a different vision. But hey, maybe I'm just an idealistic fool in the end.

IGA mentioned each CV game is produced with an above average budget. So, I'm not sure if saying IGA quit because of lack of funds is entirely accurate. Also, going by what Cox himself said, LoS only exists because IGA passed on making a new 3D game. It's not like he got kicked out or anything.

[Lelygax]

Its no IGA and Cox, its more like "IGA never will come back? So show me why its impossible" thing. Its like as if Shigeru Miyamoto doesnt participates in 3 Mario games and then everyone says that he never will come back, that its impossible, that he stinks and is dead and examples continues...

What is annoying dont is the fact "Will IGA return or not" and yes "I can see the future, its impossible and I know that, I simply cant argue about that or show some things to strengthen my argument because I forgot it at my house"

Its your opinion? Fine. But please, can we atleast stop saying what we think as if its been announced by Konami and is undoubtly true? I have been seeing this for weeks thinking that it can even be some "news" or "piece of information" that Im ignorant about, but it seems that this simply doesnt exist and are bogus.

I get what your saying, and while it's not impossible do you think there is a solid chance of him coming back?

Me I just want someone new afterward that's all. New blood so to speak but that's just me.

[Lelygax]

Well, while I like IGA games it would be okay to see something new, but I atleast wanted to see the 1999 game too. If the guy doesnt want to return, its okay. I just doesnt understand why a great amount of people continue saying "IGA dont will return" or things like that. For some of us (atleast I believe, if Im wrong then ok, ME) its a light of hope in the end of the tunnel and trying to turn off this light without even having proofs or "quotes" isnt very cool.

I see what you mean.
Guess this is not my kind of light.
He has worked on cv for a long time I think he should work on something new.
I don't hate the guy or anything but do something else move on that's how I see it.
If folks want him back ehh... Ok, I'll most likely be along for the ride if it were to happen anyways.

Oh so that's the real reason.
I thought SOTN2 was his last pitch to Konami to compete with LOS.

I think IGA mentioned in an interview somewhere that he needs some sort of breather after all those vania titles. But I think Castlevania just sticks with him no matter where he goes (Scribblenauts japan edition, Otomedius)

By the way, what is he doing lately, there seems to be a dearth of news.

I would like to see IGA return (for the 1999 game. It's his story, he should finish it.)
and I would also like to see new people handle Castlevania.

[Nagumo]

I believe his last project was Scribblenauts which was in early 2012. Who knows what he is up to now aside from making pictures of his food and changing his carrier.

[Dark Nemesis]

I think, that it has taken the same path with resurrection.

[Belmontoya]

I like your outlook neobelmont. What I meant by "clusterfuck" was- a mess of a story, riddled with a bunch of characters that are difficult to become invested in or care about. The only good characters in the IGA games are mostly characters who already existed. I've played through all of his games and only remember a few of the story lines because they were just that uninspired and pointless. It really doesn't matter how a timeline lines up when it's made up of bad stories. CV deserves better than IGA's cheap flavor of story telling. I spend half of my time just following a blue map around when I play his games. It gets old. My biggest complaint about mirror of fate is that it makes an attempt to be like an iGA game. That and, it should have been on the ps vita because the graphics are lackluster. Their take on Simon bothers me too.

Flame, I wanted Mega Man Legends 3 so badly.

seriously. Legends 3's cancellation was a dealbreaker in my getting a 3DS.

Ditto.

A moment of silence for the death of the third entry in arguably one of the best series (Legends itself, exclusive of the rest of the Megaman franchise) in gaming.
