Pardon my ignorance, Serio, but if Maria has *more* frames than she did originally, isn't that good and means the team worked hard on her?

I'm just mad because its another castleroid. It's getting overly used and boring. Its why I don't play castlevania much anymore. There needs to be something new and fresh to the series and that exploration element just really isn't cutting it anymore.

Just because they recreate animations for one character doesn't mean they worked really all that hard. Wow? One character? Amazing... Why not just do it to the rest of the game instead of copy + paste, copy + paste...etc.

Only thing I enjoyed about Portrait of Ruin is when you would use the time freeze spell and Jonathan's knives which give it like a 2D bullet time effect. That was some nice detail.

They have every right to complain. This is the same formula that's been used by IGA for 2D sidescrollers ever since Symphony. You have no right to tell people to not complain about a stale visual and gameplay style. Everyone's entitled to their opinions here, and it just so happens that many of them share the same.

And your spelling really does need some improvement. Grammar, too. You should use Mozilla Firefox. It has a spellcheck.

The game isn't even out yet, and your complaining? And I have every right to do whatever I whant.

What, did I say it's bad? I just said how they did those additional frames, and no, that's not "working hard". The tile shifting can be done in 5 minutes. There was more work put into her idle stance than any other animations. The backdash is straight out of saturn and only 1 frame, the forward dash is 4 frames, attacks are 3 frames, death is 1 frame from the item crash, only rotated.

And Clara has every right to warn you for bothering other members because she's a moderator.

I can understand how so many people are getting bored of Castletroids, but I do think IGA sticks by them simply because the non-fanboy, casual players prefer that more than the old-school style. Ever read the forums that revolve around Dracula X Chronicles? I've never seen so much bitching regarding a game's difficulty, even though that game was EASY as hell! There was more whiners saying, "It's toooo freakin HARD!!" than old schoolers who were saying it was easy. I think the "average game players" of modern age are more "softer" than the average game players of the 80s and early 90s. IGA knows that. He knows that Castletroids sell, despite being a bored formula. The average modern CV players have gotten so used to them that they are afraid of anything else BUT Castletroids.

I hope Iga leaps into next gen soon.

He's already confirmed that the next Console title is gonna be on Xbox360, with possible port to PS3 if sales go up.

Yes, I read that, I just hope it's soon.

I wonder if this game will come with any preorder bonus goodies?? All the community needs is some cv plushies damnit!

I don't see why it wouldn't. There always seems to be some kind of preorder goody. The big poster/soundtrack/stylus bundle with PoR, the coffin case with DoS, the mini soundtrack with CoD, the 8-bit Simon figurine with DXC, etc.

Doubt they'd release anything in the way of plushies, though. Plushies tend to be a little kiddish. Although if the horrible art style of PoR and DoS continue to pull through...

Three people need to stay with castlevanaia, Koji Igarashi, Ayami Kojima, and Michiru Yamane. These three are what make Castlevania, Castlevania.

Umm.. Can someone please tell me why everyone is going pyscho over a few beta screenshots? And why a mod is complaining about a few spelling and grammar errors?
