Topic: Konami is already thinking about the next Castlevania game

[Pfil]

I wouldn't call MoF a 2D game, since it has 3D graphics and plays in 2.5D dimensions.

Indeed. I wouldn't even personally call LoS Castlevania.
But technically speaking, DXC is Castlevania, but also 2.5D with 3D graphics.
So, it is possible to achieve CV level with 2.5D, but I always prefer sprites.

Just read those tweets. Yeah, Cox is gone.

Can't wait to see what new IP it is. May it Rise like a Red Falcon.

RPG in a open world = Skyrim... no surprise, even Miyamoto say than next zelda must learn from Skyrim (the wright direction)

So..Cox wants to be Mr. Castlevania after all?

I'd rather he stick to his original plan and move on. Bring in new blood with maybe IGA advicing/mentoring. Someone who can stand on his own feet, but also  listen to the voices of experience.

[A-Yty]

Oh, wait.. he is gone? This thread moves too fast.

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.

It was supposed to be a joke, like Dave Cox in good shape, when he truly is out of shape (fat).

Since when does 2.5D mean anything other than 2D game play with 3D graphics?

I'm not talking about game play, but sprites.

[TheouAegis]

Can have 2D sprites in 2.5D. Hell could even have 3D sprites in 2D; that's what T&C2, DKC, and the Strike series were.

That article makes it seem like the bit about Konami already having a new CV in line was either misworded or lost in translation. So the future of the series is once again up in air?

2.5D used to mean a 3D game with 2D graphics, I believe. Like Original Doom and Original Wolfenstein.

I'm interested in this question.
Can someone bring a little light about it?

It seems we are just where we were a few days ago, only now we know Cox is out.

If the rumor posted back on Hardcore Gaming 101 about a new castlevania game is on the makings, is to be trusted, then already a team or company is on the job.

Someone can explain me more about this Hardcore Gaming 101 thing? I only know that we have a board with this name and that maybe another site has a section named this way too. 101 was meant to be a l33t "LOL"?
