I'm really hesitant to belive they're gonna make a CV for the Wii. However, as some of you might have read, nintendo is going to be offering downloadedable content for the DS via the Wii shopping channel, so I'm guessing maybe some bonus bossrush levels or something.

Are you an idiot? First the art is amazing, fake or not. Second, the sprites are fine. The backgrounds are most likely copys of PoR, due to the fact that this is a fake, imo. And even if the backgrounds are real, backgrounds are not ment to be distracting. Even the repaticious stages of Curse of Darkness were good. If you hate these pics than you must not like Castlevania.

And the anime style wasn't bad, it just wasn't Castlevania.

I don't usually agree with Sonic Reaper, but I guess there's a first time for everything right?

You are a complete dolt. All his criticisms about the supposed leak screenshots are valid, who the hell are you to tell him he must not like Castlevania because he is criticizing some pathetic looking images from the game?

It may be too early to make judgements on the game at the moment, but given that Portrait of Ruin and Curse of Darkness are widely reviled by the general cv community, and how down right amateurish the sprite work looks in this game, I don't blame him for coming to such a conclusion.

Oh, and learn to spell.

These screenshots are utter fail.

That is all.

I didn't mean to cause such a commotion.  I was speaking my mind about the aforementioned screenshots.  This has no bearing on what the game may actually be, once finished, assuming it is real.  Just simply visual comments based on what we've been shown.  It's possible they're very early screens with place-holder graphics.  Regardless, the comments very much stand.  I wasn't in anyway criticizing the series as a whole, or saying the finished product will be a disappointment.  Just that these "beta" screens honestly aren't very good.

I can't spell worth beans, so get used to it.

Also, I think this is all a fake. I might even be made by Konami to rasie exitement for the real game that is about to be announced.

Bitching about a game that is still a long ways off and no one's played yet, classic.

When you get a hands on play with the game, then you can bitch.

Hehe, but, isn't this Castlevania Dungeon's "Never-Ending Story"? Every game announced goes through the same stages of anticipation. At first, early info is released which can either be legit or fakes. It gets the blood pumping. Then, the OFFICIAL screens and info is released. You have some people saying that it doesn't look THAT good and some saying that it does and will look BETTER when it's released. Much scans and screens released between then and the release date. Oh, and what gets me is how a lot of people get so into the games as they are released. I remember how many freakin people were claiming DoS and PoR, at their time, were the "BEST EVER". That sure worn off, no? The glitter fades and people are stuck saying, "meh.". That's the cursed cycle of this forum.

I agree.  There seems to be a pattern on this board with that sort of cycle.  Furthermore, I bet that once this game is finished and hits the US, there wll be a handful of people saying that this is the worst CV game in both gameplay and storyline; I suspect there will be some that will scream out blasphemy.

I mean, already people are complaining about recycled sprites despite this was done back in CV 3 if I recall.  I mean, I am sure some sub items and enemies were reused for that game from CV1.  True, new sprites are better than recycled ones, but pumping out a game every year isn't easy as it may appear.

Even if the sprites are new, some people will blame them for not being as good as SOTN or CV4 or whatever.  Case in point, Maria in the psp SOTN game.  Before the UMD even came out, some people were claiming how the sprite of her looks like the same style as POR.  Some people even complained about her frame rate not being in par with the likes of SOTN Ricther based on an IGN preview video.

However, in reality, the sprite seems to have the same color pallete and style as the old one, except it has more detail/pixels.  She also seems to have the same amount of frames as any other SOTN character.

Just sayin that people will complain the game no matter what just because it is produced by IGA or that it is a new CV game.  Even if it had Guity Gear X2 or Street Fighter HD graphics, people will complain about the sprites being cartoony or whatever.   

[Genya Arikado]

I agree.

Haha, this thread... oh my god. You don't even deserve a new CV. The screens don't even look that bad, they look like a new CV in the making! You're seeing things that aren't even there, already judging a game that hasn't even been officially announced by the developers. Castlevania is what it is, and it shouldn't come as a surprise anymore. I mean, what did you expect the third DS game to look like? Bah.

I don't understand why anyone would linger on a CV forum when the series obviously isn't for you and hasn't been for the past 6 years or so.

After reading through all this garbage I'm actually more excited about this game than ever.

I'm totally agree with shelverton and DragonSlayr81!!

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?
