Topic: How About A 3D Castlevcania With These Graphics?

[Dark Nemesis]

Now this is how i want to be a true 3D Castlevania game! These pictures are from Dracula Origins. What do you think guys?

Looks good and all, but it kinda looks, I don't know, cliche Universal Movie-ish maybe?

Backgrounds look very nice and could easily have been a 3D Castlevania. Character models however, are kinda generic and lifeless... Ayami Kojima could fix that though with some androgynous vampire killer fashionista.

The inside of teh buildings are good, the outside... not so much. The characters are kind of plain but that are good looking.

it looks as flat and "two dimensional" as curse of darkness though.

As long as there's some platforming & unique level design then it doesn't matter how the graphics look

This.

As nice and realistic as that shot of that shack's interior is, it looks like the outside is just a run-a-guantlet affair. Invisible walls and all.

I need my 3D Castlevania with some vertical areas.

O_O That looks AWESOME! Kinda reminds me a bit of those Dracula Resurrection and The Last Sanctuary games for the PSX and PC. What system is this "Dracula Origins" for?

I'm not moved by the looks of this game. It looks on par with any PS1 game with pre-rendered backgrounds.

It's for PC.

Now for all the others, what i wanted for all of you to see is not the quality of the graphics, but the design of the enviroments. Can you imagine a Castlevania game with these enviroments? Free to move almost anywhere at the game's levels and not some tunel linearly stages! That's what i meant!

No more CastsleVania in 3D. >_<

Dunno. Too realistic, too low on fantasy and bloody stuff. Also everything looks like marble, because of the way it reflects light... Don't like the charas either.

Nice. Creepy and gothic. Excellent. Tough, I'd prefer PS3 next-gen graphics.

As much as I love them, I'd like to see a break from the 2-D CV titles. Of course, they couldn't just crank out another game like LoI or CoD, but if they put a lot of time and effort into it and made it great, yeah, I think the 2D could hit the bench for awhile

I actually don't see how much more free movement this game has(by the pictures posted) OVER that of, say, LoI and CoD. The one shed room with the crates and such is pretty crowded as far as moving space is concerned. The graveyard, from the angle, is shaped like a box room. The only added movement, I would think, is that you can jump atop graves, but that's not much. The other pictures like the exterior foggy shot and the shot of the two characters(vampire and the girl) don't really support the "free movement" bit. They seem to be two scenes that emphesis dramatic atmosphere.
