Topic: Castlevania to be temporarily turned off?

[GummiCandyful]

I think CV just needs to return to it's classic hardcore roots. No metriodvania, no LOS. Just a simple, bad ass straight forward action game.

I second this notion, too. Hell, I think I'd be happy with a handheld title in the style of DXC or just regular 2D graphics.

Cox said it did well. his word, no matter how dubious, trumps VG Chartz, who openly admit to making up numbers by educated guesswork.

Nobody says it did better than LoS1 either.

Because a source that has an invested interest in the perception of success is rock solid.
I'd like to direct you to a legal term called "conflict of interest".

Yeah, I'll take an educated guess over that any day.

I'm going to be 100% honest and say that given that The Witcher 3 devs confirmed they took inspiration for Castlevania for their enemy design I already know whatever they are going to do is topping any Castlevania efforts ever, so meh. I'm kinda burn out. LoS2 hype killed me. Unless a new dev offers something really interesting I'm not on board. I'm not getting excited by 2D metroidvania #454587210 that's for sure. SOTN/OOE (Choose your favorite) is PERFECT and whatever they add to that is bloat. ROB is perfect too so the classic formula is done. The 3D formula is too risky and the RPG formula is out of budget. I certainly have few hopes. At this point, I can only take a total, complete, absolute reimagining.

Give me ambition or give me death.
