Topic: I AM SO HUNGRY FOR SOTN 2!

[mrd777]

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!!!!!

Anyone know how we can get them to make a part 2? It is so stupid how it aint made.

Isn't SOTN the most popular of all the games? I know it was the best for me and my bros we played it over and over. We never could play any other vania the way we did SOTN.

THOUGHTS? ANSWERS?!

It's nice to want things.

They already made a Symphony of the Night 2.

It was called Aria of Sorrow.

maybe you should write a fanfic about it.

While there might be ways with a next-gen system to make something a more impressive and official "SotN 2," I agree in suggesting titles like Aria of Sorrow, Dawn of Sorrow, Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, Harmony of Despair, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia as spiritual follow-ups to Symphony of the Night. That's honestly your best bet, as Castlevania is being led in a new direction.

And while SotN was and is popular, there are other Castlevania games out there that are a lot of fun, and some fans hold them in higher regard. Circa 1997-mid-2000s, most wanted nothing more than SotN 2, and the media still seems to hold that sentiment.

I'd like a return to the Nintendo 64 style with modern HD resources for at least 1 game, and at least 1 new HD hybrid of Castlevania III and IV, but I know that those are just as unlikely. We all have to deal with it in our own ways, and I wish you luck.

Welcome to the forums.

I think we're in agreement about 2-D being the superior artform.  :-)

I hate to break bad news, but SotN 2 is looking like a pipe-dream at this point.  Mirror of Fate is the only 2-D Castlevania on the radar right now --but after that, who knows...  The good news is there are 6 other MetroidVania games to choose from --unfortunately Aria of Sorrow was the only one that came close to surpassing SotN IMO.

Yeah have you not played any of the previously mentioned handheld Metroidvania (Symphony of the Night/Super Metroid style) games?
There are 3 for the GBA, namely Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, Aria of Sorrow. And 3 for the DS - Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, Order of Ecclesia.
Just be sure to play Aria of Sorrow before Dawn of Sorrow, otherwise you should be able to have at them in any order you wish. None of them are as good as SOTN imo (didn't care for HoD, still playing through the DS ones myself) but they're generally very high to excellent quality games.

PS- You might also be interested in some of the titles in the Metroid series as they share a gameplay style, and there is at least one person here who feels Super Metroid surpasses SotN. I'm not qualified to make much comment on that series myself though.

Harmony of Dissonance is the closest you could get to a SOTN sequel. They share many things in commmon, MANY. Go and play it!

I'd take Super Metroid over SotN too, but they're both pretty much perfect IMO. Super Metroid is a 9.8/10 in my book, while SotN is 9.6/10. So we're talking two of the best games I've ever played in my entire life. Amen.

As for SotN2, it would be pretty risky for Konami to even consider that. There's no way they could ever live up to its predecessors legacy. The expectations would be insane. People wouldn't settle for anything but the best Castlevania game ever, and that would literally make any producer piss themselves with fear.

[mrd777]

truth is I have played all of those 2D games, but nothing comes close for me..... I mean yes those other ones were great, but i want  a big fat game with bunch of juicy secrets and epic dark story. rrawr

I don't think so. Aria fits the bill better on account of its controls/handling (Juste was one floaty bastard), combat/weapon system, greater plot relation, and music style. HoD's similarities with SotN, barring the typical leveling/equipment stuff, are mostly just in appearance. The game pretty much aped SotN in this regard, which I don't see as a plus. I would also argue that the castle design in Aria is much closer to the quality of SotN's than HoD's is.

Also, this is a personal thing, but I wouldn't recommend Harmony of Dissonance to anyone.

Yeah it'd be cool to have a big 2D game for homeconsoles. Nintendo did DKCR, after all

And Kirby. And New Super Mario. And stuff.
I wish other companies would be brave like that. Then again, Nintendo's games sell like hotcakes. Konami's doesn't anymore, unless it's Metal Gear.

I feel you bro and I'm here for you. It might come after the Mercury Steam games but for now just try to be excited about what's coming. Two new games featuring Alucard and heck lots of other cool dark gothic games on the horizon. If it makes you feel better I will always back the creation of a SotN2 no matter what.

[Chernabogue]

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).
