I just had to think of sony's E3 press conference.

Ya know, these screens don't bother me that much, whether they're fake or not, but I'm actually hoping they're real, just to see how many people bitch and complain once again about graphics in a game, and not about how fun the game actually is

Those people actually really annoy me. I had, and have lots of fun with the DS Castlevanias. Also I really enjoy the graphics. The sprites are better than ever. Especially the way they are animated. For example just look at how Charlottes hair tangles in the air. I love that.

[shelverton.]

why should they make a Charlotte-relative the main char of the next game?

No one says she's a relative except you.

I think the screens are real, albeit early/unfinished ones. I may be wrong, but hopefully we'll know in a few weeks. Konami will release screens as soon as they're ready to do so. I doubt it was their intention for anyone to see these, cause like someone already said in this thread; It's not uncommon for game developers to recycle sprites and backgrounds while they're working on a game, and then add the real deal for the final build.

I agree.  Information and screens have hardly been released, and it's already getting negative responses.

And what in the hell does a giant crab have to do with a game's value?

I like the screen shots.

Ppl bitch because it is new and it isn't in the same vein as the games 10-20 years ago.  I see the same shit going on in toy collecting where ppl will bash a toy, regardless of how more detailed the sculpt is simply because it isn't carbon copy of a toy they owned decades ago.

Regardless of gameplay, I think some ppl will be happy if the graphics went back to the nes/snes days

It's the fact that those screenshots consist almost entirely of PoR backgrounds what irks people.

i may be late (i only read up to page 10) but Mina's last name Hakabura i think, is a Japanese version of the european last name harker, so they are european.

mina was based off of Jonathon harkers finance, jonathon is the main character of dracula

I see where you're coming from, but does that seriously take away from the joy of the game?? I could understand if it were exactly the same level, and yeah I think it is kind of lazy and I'm an avid believer in art and beauty in video games, so yes I do see what you're saying.

I'm also surprised with how much bitching goes into reusing sprites and backgrounds, and specifically the bitching of the second set of paintings in PoR, I've never once seen anyone complain about the reverse castle in Symphony. Now, I'm not saying I don't like it, but I'm also not one to complain about my favorite video game series, especially the   second portraits in PoR, so really, can somebody here explain to me how the portraits are lazy work, and the reverse castle isn't?

And remember, I'm just asking for opinions here, I'm just curious. I don't want to start a blood bath, so lets stay calm on this. Thank you

sorry but allot of people early were questioning the possibility of Mina's relatives being in Europe
