X-D This is the one I've gotta laugh at!

So...I initially wasn't sure who Cox was, but from context I'd guess he's responsible for the LoS games?  I hope he's still got a good job and all, but I won't miss his influence on Castlevania.

Until he screws up Contra!

Igarashi leaves Konami... Cox leaves Konami... Castlevania leaves Konami?

I doubt Cox is joining Igarashi but that would be pretty funny. They probably just barely know each other?

Kojimavania technically was LoS1 but we've been over that argument before. :P

Castlevania is probably gonna be put into a slumber while Konami focuses on the new Silent Hill.

And then Kojima will make a new 'vania.

I can't help but notice the contrast between the time IGA left, and the time Cox left.

Am I the only one who was rather indifferent to both? IGA and Cox have made lousy decisions during their tenure at Konami, so the future of Castlevania could go either two routes: Konami makes more games that are not Metroidvania or LoS style, or the series will be completely disregarded like so many other franchises that are owned and not by Konami.

I'm a little indifferent to IGA on this note: He's made both good and bad decisions with CV. But dispite all that his games still felt like Castlevania. I cannot say the same thing about Cox as he lied to us about several key things we wanted to know concerning LoS1 before it was even released. Despite that I bought the game and gave it a try. And I very seldom do that with regards to shaken confidence in developers. But unlike Cox IGA was at least being honest with with what he wanted to share with us (putting aside the 1999 game).
