Good shape like Dave Cox being in good shape (which is false) or a really good shape? LOL
Good shape for Cox surely means ledgeforming instead of platforming, lots of QTE's, being locked in areas with a lot of enemies that take like 20 hits to die, stages over stages of ancient ruins in sunny days, enemies like Chupacabras and the hunchbacks, characters like Demon Lord or whatever the name was, final battles vs. Satan and, of course, the most boring and generic music ever.
*holding out for Wayforward*
Me too. I can tolerate a game like Bloodrayne: Betrayal (which I liked, BTW) carrying the Castlevania name, despite the differences in look and gameplay, as long as Jake Kaufman composes an entire soundtrack (like, 25 or 30 tunes?) that sound like Dusk Falls, because that's one of the most beautiful VG tracks I've ever listened, it's up there together with the top CV tracks and some others from other games.
Back on topic, I hope the next CV doesn't come as late in the gen as LoS did so we can have safely 3+ games and even some 2D ports/remakes ![Cheesy :D](http://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/Smileys/classic/cheesy.gif)
Why 2D has to be only for ports and remakes? That's something I can't understand. The best Castlevania games in the history of the franchise were all 2D games. We can't accept that 2D is being relegated to a 2nd place for just ports and remakes. We need new titles in 2D. I mean, full new. With all new stages and all new soundtracks.
