I was trying yesterday to upload all the fan art that i have collected so far, but my connection was messing up, so if i'm lucky today, i'll uploaded and add the links for download on the fan art thread and the image for my signature is included on the package.

Thanks! I'll be looking forward to it!

[Lelygax]

Me too, thanks!

edit: Someone knows why all images from pixiv doesnt appear to me? Even if I try to load only one image in a new tab it shows a "403 Forbidden" to me.

Not sure.  Did you try a different browser?

[Lelygax]

After you gave this idea to me, yes. I tested in Google Chrome (my main browser), Firefox and Internet Explorer. It works fine in IE and Firefox. Thanks for giving me this idea, I think it should be because of Comodo DNS (My Chrome is modded, its called Comodo Dragon) so I wil try changing it to the standard DNS and see what happens.

edit: I've discovered the problem (its not even about DNS, I changed it to a standard one months ago and forgot about that), its the protection "Do not allow websites to know where you came from (suppress HTTP Referrer header)". If you turn its ON pixiv doesnt let you see their images, I thinks its because they dont know that this request is coming from their own site, bad programming if you ask me, since its the first site that acts like that.

Awesome collection, by the way!

People may think I'm crazy but I think CV should try to give the 64 style another shot. That game is awesome. Yeah it has its flaws but I think it has a lot of original ideas. Just to name a few thing I liked with it.
1. Vampires as everyday enemies.
2. Vampires being able to bite you and thus possibly turning you into a vampire resulting in a game over.
3. I felt the day and night system worked. Yes I know it's in CV2 but it got a little annoying after awhile. I felt CV 64 improved it greatly.
4. Being able to fall in pits. Call me weird but I miss the days where I fall down a hole that's five miles deep and die. Now a days I fall down same hole and I don't take any damage.
5. Four different characters to play with. Some of them even having boss fights and events only pertaining to their character.
6. This might sound weird but I like things simple. I like how CV 64 has the basic sub weapons and that's it. I'll be honest I'm not much of a fan of the over a hundred options of weapons, 90% of them I'll never use. I'm sure no one shares this with me.
7. Cool supporting characters. Now I'm not saying other CV supporting characters are bad but the ones in CV 64 had a certain charm. Vincent and the merchant were super cool too.

I might think of more later. Yes not everyone shares my love for CV 64. I know it has problems but I really do think they were taking steps in the right direction. I also think CV should have an eerie mystery feel to it.

I don't think you are crazy.

Despite technical flaws, I love CV 64 in every way, and it's up to this day my favourite 3D non-RPG game.

I consider it superior to any other Castlevania 3D game ever made.

I don't care for any aspect in the N64 Castlevanias. In fact, I consider them worse than the LoS series and the PS2 games, because of the shitty gameplay and really outdated graphics.

Graphics? Maybe its because the game is very old? Trying to compare a N64 game graphics with a PS2 and PS3/360 game is just unfair.

I like GuyStarwind idea, since the only thing that makes the gameplay really shitty is the camera IMO.

They were bad even for the year they were released. Actually, few N64 games were mindblowing for me. Nintendo games, for example, at the time I had no problems with them, but they look really bad these days.

But the shitty graphics I could stomach... the problem is really on the gameplay.

[GuyStarwind]

Yeah I'd say most people would agree the gameplay isn't the best. However, I do think the game had some good ideas that I would love to see revisited.

[Pfil]

I find the graphics outdated but beautiful, and today you can play them with high resolution textures in HD.

And I'm not by an inch a fan of the N64 console, it's by far the console that interests me the less.

But CV64... I just love it.

I know I'm on the minority, but I love it.

[PyramidHead]

I too would like to play something like Castlevania 64 Rebirth . This game has an atmosphere. Graphics is not bad at all IMO. Characters animation was quite realistic for its time. Soundtrack was awesome - "Silent Madness" is the scariest thing I'd ever heard in the series. Some boss battles were fun. For once Dracula transformed into something other than gargoyle. Also, knight with a gun is one of my favorite Castlevania characters (can't remember his name ).

Will the hi-res CV64 patch work with a LoD rom?
And speaking of my dreams, I'll be leaving the country on late July or August, based on how plans go.
