Someone missed the sarcasm.

IGA can only keep adding so much before people start realizing they're just playing a remake of SOTN in some form.

I hate to point it out, there wasn't much innovation in Castlevania's early days either. Vampire Killer and Simon's Quest at least brought some more adventure elements to the series, but following titles just built upon CV1. CVIII added branching paths and Rondo let you go back and re-explore the levels.

Thing is, what can you do with 2D anymore? He could go back to level-based gameplay, or stick with the Metroidvaina gameplay.

One should play Castlevania for the game, not the story, methinks.

IGA does a better job with that anyway.

I might be alone on this, but I like playing Castlevania for um, everything: the story, the music, the gameplay, the graphics...everything it has to offer, though one element of the game might be more important than the other.

As for IGA, I can't say since I never met him.  I like his hat.

Yeah but it was still unique from other platformers. Once it went Symphonized, it's really just a rehash of inspiration from Metroid.

Being creative is a start. Although I don't want him turning Dracula into a computer virus

I see nothing wrong with wanting both? Also, the 2D games have become monotonous and the 3D games are lackluster. Iga has even stated the latter.



And this shouldn't even be debatable. He turned Dracula into a benevolent, Japanese teenager. He sucks. And I'm sick of all of the people saying that Castlevania would be non existent if it wasn't for him or that he saved the series. For all you know, the series could have been bigger than GTA, God of War, Halo, etc. if it wasn't for him.

KCEK turned him into a whiny purple-haired kid, so tit for tat.

Even though SotN is still fapped to by any major reviewer who takes care to point out that the series took a nosedive after the success of SCIV?

[Gunlord]

I like IGA. Just look at him, with his little whip and frizzy hair. Who couldn't love him? ;_;

I guess we'll never know! But maybe the next console game will be a huge success?

Only if it's 3D and they get someone else to make it.

Hell, if Square let one of its character designers become a producer, let's let Michiru Yamane have a go at Castlevania

I lolled, that might not be such a bad idea now that I think about it.

Well yes. Of course we play Castlevania for the game. But the story is an important side dish.

You don't know anything about historical or fictional Dracula do you? =(

Wtf are you talking about? The only game that came after Super Castlevania 4 and before SotN was Rondo of Blood and it's arguably one of the greatest games in the series. The only thing that took a nose dive was the shitty port that the States and Europe received, Dracula X and Dracula XX.

Well, if Dracula was actually Japanese then I guess not.
