Topic: New Castlevania!!!???!!! (DS)

[Algernon]

I'm agreeing that the backgrounds and tilesets all look rather crappy and faked, but the fact that the spider boss thing is so Castlevania style makes me wonder.

I loved PoR and DoS, I'm really looking forward to a new Castlevania game. But remember that the third game was only just announced- if these are real, half of the things in the screenshots will be changed by the time it comes out, which might not even be this year.

The spider boss does look awesome though.

Actually this boss isn't a giant spider, but a giant crab!!

Is there another link this?  Because the current one is dead now unfortunately.

edit:  nevermind...I'm not used to this type of setup in a forum.  I'll learn and not make the same mistake.

My First post on this forum, ok so here is what i can say about the new Castlevania on DS


it is said that it has a wii connectivity, Pretty Interesting Huh? i also Show you all some images wich i hope will be Usefull and helpfull to you all,Some said that the main character might be Charlotte Aulin From Castlevania Portrait of ruin since the main character this time is a woman, its only rumored for now, but Sure thing is that the main character is a woman.


Chronologically, it should appear Years Afther Portrait Of Ruin, this title is set For November 2008 as i heard, I hope i helped you all out a bit.

It's already known her name is Shanoa/Chanoix. She's not Charlotte.

im afraid this game is going to suck... and i am a big Castlevania fan but lately im not liking IGA's ideas. Im glad he remade Rondo but seeing the remake of SOTN was sorta disappointing. Alucard had the same voice as Sasuke in Naruto and i did not like that and especially Dracula in SOTN for PSP. He talked as if he had anger issues. Then there's POR it was good but it could have come out better but i did like the idea of 2 main character switch offs. So IGA better make this new game better... he should remake a Simon Belmont SOTN thing lol or make a Castlevania Collection thing with Castlevania 1-4, Dracula X SNES, GB and GBA Castlevania's with updated sprites and all...

I gotta say, I'm pretty pleased with newer handheld Castlevanias. I remember back when something like Legends would have been par for the course. Handheld gaming's come a long way since then, and it's awesome to get a good sized Metroid-style game every year or so.

That isn't to say that laziness present in PoR doesn't irritate me. Okay, reusing Rondo sprites is one thing, but would it have killed them to, you know, make a few more new sprites instead of ripping them from DoS? Especially considering they took some of the shitty ones, like Mimic. LAZY.

We don't know anything about it yet, how come you say it's gonna be bad? Is it because the man characters a woman? Just curious.

Iga has no control over the crap english dub, that's Konami of America's dept. just play it in it's original dub with subs, the acting is way better.

now that would be cool.

I am a bit confused, now.  Are all the pics fake or just the "newer joke ones?"  I know the newer ones are, but how about the older ones since they seem real, seein how the crab boss looks in par with other polygon monsters in the DS castlevania game.

[Algernon]

DS Castlevania is awesome, although I'm agreeing that the enemy ripping in POR was lame. Still was a great game though, and I liked it better than DoS overall.

Really excited about this one.

I think your intuition is correct. I'd have to axe someone if they reused maps like that.

[A vicar in a tutu]

Jeez....this has gotten out of control..I'm pretty sure its a hoax. But whatever..you'll see. Just like 2006's whip-wielding Alucard rumor and the fake GamePro magazine cover. Lolz :

[le052383]

For those who can't tell that the newer pics (the one with the chick outside of Drac's room and the one where posted by the same guy) are fake (I assume that the guy who posted it here, made those joke pics,) look at the screenshots and compare them to the leaked images. You can tell the new ones are fake simply because the outside of Dracula's room is ripped straight from the HOD and the main character chick is pixeled in such a way as if someone saved the sprite (after being cleaned up from the leaked screenshot, which I assume they got the sprite) as a jpg or a gif on ms paint and pasted it on the background(which is crisp and clear.)  The resulting image is a clear background, but with a lower quality sprite character. When you compare it to the older pics, you can see how the sprite of the character doesn't have that weird lower quality pixels going on and that the entire screen captures are consistent with the sprite.

[Algernon]

For the record, games that are early in development often re-use old sprites and backgrounds for testing purposes until the new ones are completed.

But you're right about the sprite thing.
