I know this will sound silly.. but.. why don't they just start over and build a new history and story for the CV universe, one more consistant?
Well, then again it would most likely make many CV fans mad if they did.

Hey, that's not too much of a bad idea.  Keep the basic formula of Belmonts vs Dracula with the same timelines but different characters and scenarios.  It worked for Marvel Comics "Ultimate" series, it could sureley work here; (perhaps explore the inverted world more so than just the inverted castle itself).  Although IGA would most likely want to use his time line, so I'm not sure if this could work.

yes, but they continued the old series. I don't think that CV fans will enjoy that to much.

I never said they couldn't continue with the old timeline, only that they could explore an alternate universe.

Lol. You still owe me $25 for the 14th hole from Sunday.

That's what Legends, CV64, LoD and CotM are for.

STARTING a new alternate timeline wouldn't work. It would just confuse people all the more. God knows we've had ENOUGH remakes in our modern era as far as Hollywood goes. Not the "reimagining" of the CV series, as well.... :

I dunno, think of how many remakes/retellings of CV1 there are.

Who needs remakes when you can have new scenarios.

ummmmmm the 64 ones and legends and whatever were like... spin offs.. i mean start over.. fresh.. tell the entire story in a new prespective.. clean up the timeline..maybe have it actualy relate more to bram strokers a bit more.. have the morris family as the true saviors... actualy thats a good idea for a CV inspired homebrew.

Again, that's just like the "reimagings" that Hollywood is toss forward in our lovely modern age. Particularly on the horror front with the newer Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies and Rob Zombie's Halloween. The only difference would be that the CV reimagining would be games, not movies.

Though, it would mainly depend upon WHO does the reimagining of CV. I mean, as far as movies are concerned, the newer horror reimagings of TCM and Halloween did nothing for me. They were pure ADHD/MTV-gen fluff at it's worst. However, the reimaginings of The Thing and The Blob(in the 80s) were done right, IMO. Same thing can be applied to games. Don't aim to make it as cool as possible, just aim to make it as good as possible. That's the real motto! Especially in all fronts of media, be it VGs, music or movies, it seems the companies are turning out quantity over quality. Those who can nail the quality perfectly will always get praised for their acomplishments!!

Do not put things into my mouth please, im not hollyweed(pun intended).
Well if they did start over as im sugesting they could make it so the timeline and story are more consistant.

It could still be the belmonts.. still fighting the good fight aginst evil.. but the story would have less parts that make no sence.. sometimes the story is questionable lol.

I mean.. when does dracula return or is reborn, is it not like every thousand years or something.. or 100 years.. if their were less years in between his rebirths their could be more storys to tell.

As is, their are such large gaps that they are running out of timeline as the topic says... the only other thing they could do is keep pushing forward to the future like they do on the handheld ones AoS and DoS.

I am still curious about 1999 and what happen.

As for hollywood, their problem is not that they retold the storys, its that they did it badly.

Who needs new scenarios when you can have remakes?     And better yet, who needs meatloaf when you can have a nice juicy steak?
