Topic: I AM SO HUNGRY FOR SOTN 2!

[Dominus Agony]

I would love to see a 2D sequel to Lament. I think it'd turn out quite nice.

Especially since the 2D Leon sprite in PoR was such a cocktease. I was 99% certain that the next DS title would be a Lament sequel.

Not sure the series needs another SOTN.... after all, it has 7 to choose from, including the original. I do however subscribe to the belief that the series roots of 2D is where it has been most successful. I would like to see how Mirror Of Fate comes out, if that seems to be a dud then I'l stick to the games that came pre-LOS.

Just replay SOTN and unlock all of the other modes like Richter, Old Axe Armor, etc.

I'm tired of this 3d castlevania games. it aint the same! I want the 2D SOTN back!!!!!! Please make part 2 or I will cry. Darn Konami!!!!!

I am tired of "metroidvania" games!! They ain't the same as "calssicvania" games!! I want 2D SCV4-like games back!! Please make another "classicavnia" or I will cry! Darn fanboys!!

In whole seriousness "metroidvania" lasted for too long with not much progress. The best games that recreated SOTN formula were the ones that either got as far away from Castlevania as possible (AOS / DOS (only gameplay-wise)) or merged itself with classic formula (COTM / OOE). The only things in which SOTN was unquestionably better than its predeccesors were visuals and audio. I am very glad that series finally moved away from this formula.

When you've already made what is basically a perfect game, a direct sequel can only be a let down. Take another of my favorites, FF9. I would love to see another game set in that world if I thought they could make it anywhere nearly as good, but I know they can't. So I'm happy to leave its legacy untarnished. (Would be nice to have a remastered version in higher res with faster load times though.)

I wouldn't call SOTN a "perfect game" for many reasons (main reason is the gameplay). And its not like it wasn't surpassed by its descendants, at least when it come to the gameplay. In terms of graphics and audio it wasn't surpassed for the simple reason that all other "metroidvanias" were on the portable consoles.

[Esco]

all this talk of SOTN2 or a SOTN remake or a metroidvania that is also a mix of a classicvania

Sounds familiar.

Rondo of Blood would like to have a word with you.

Rondo of Blood would like to have a word with you.

Maybe, but since SotN is only the direct sequel in storyline and not in gameplay perhaps not. Though Rondo is like Symphony one of the best games yet made imo, and a viable contender for best Classicvania. The only game I can really see challenging it for that title is CV3 personally.

[KaZudra]

The Metroidvania Format is Beaten and Rundown on the Castlevania end, I don't think there is a way to freshen it up other than make a Harmoy of Despair 2 with entire castles.

I'm Just happy Simon, Trevor, Alucard, and Richter (Calling it) are in Mirror of Fate

[CrashDiary27]

I loved SOTN just as much as everybody else...but I have to agree that making SOTN 2 would probably just be a bad move. Don't get me wrong...it would get hyped to death but in the longrun I believe most fans would just end up dissapointed. Ive never actually been able to play all of the GBA games but i plan on doing so in due time. If they are anything close to SOTN then ill be content.

[Munchy]

A new 2D game for home console would be great, bu c'mon, leave SotN where it is.

There are plenty of other games that deserve a "part 2". And I'd prefer to have a new original story (my opinion).

Yeah this is kinda how I feel. Esco's already doing the "hack" which sounds like a completely awesome take on the game.

In spite of his weird name I'd love for Konami to make a game with Soleil as the main dude.

[Sumac]

Maybe, but since SotN is only the direct sequel in storyline and not in gameplay perhaps not.

Portrait of Ruin anyone? Castlevania 2? Curse of Darkness? Dawn of Sorrow?

I like how this theme could be summed up as "don't kiss SOTN ass - receive minus". LOL.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

Personally, I'd like a game that explains Juste and Richter's exact familial relationship. Is Juste Richter's father? Uncle? I WANT TO KNOW THESE THINGS DAMMIT.
