Smashbro294676d ago

Thank god. Get away from my Castlevania.

Dark114676d ago

Yeah don't worry Castlevania will return to be dead again.

Smashbro294676d ago

I'd rather have it dead than be god of war.

baldulf4676d ago

Castlevania would be back to its old self after this.

To suck a lot, thats it.

Inception4676d ago

I thought David Cox said that he interested with Contra and want to reboot it.

Smashbro294676d ago

Don't let him do it. It'll be a gears clone or something.

AzureskyZ4676d ago

Good! Now IGA can go back to making masterpieces instead of mercury making travesties.

MWH4676d ago (Edited 4676d ago )

give it a rest. I'm a veteran and an avid Castelvania gamer and even though I resented LoS at first, when I played it I realized it was a great game on its own.

no doubt I would love to have a proper 2D HD Castlevania but Mercury Steam's work is still commendable in comparison to many other games in the genre this generation.

AzureskyZ4676d ago

Gameplay wasnt bad-- but i hated the story and the characters--- the music from yamane was sorely missing-- i cant in good conscience call it a castlevania when its clearly lost of what it defines to be a castlevania. Call it something else and im fine by it-- casltevania means much much more to me.

Baka-akaB4676d ago

Personally i dont want a return to 2d . What's double helix is doing with Strider is an annoying trend to me . I dont need more of the same in hd and possibly inferior .

Iga was doing an excellent job with Curse of Darkness to transition Castlevania into 3d and new stuff with the scraps he was given .

We need that kind of stuff , but with the support and funding that Team mercury received with LoS .

Sevir4676d ago

Curse of Darkness was Crap! The story wasn't good at all. Iga left the franchise because he couldn't transition well into 3d... Curse of Darkness came off as a POOR Devil May Cry clone with a myriad of bland dungeon environments and weak combat.

MercurySteam Saved this franchise and brought it into relevance... It's an excellent title and one of the most memorable experience in a while.
It's a shame they didn't do this but expanded the story of Alucard and the Belmont family... I'd Love to See Soma Cruz make his 3d debut.

Baka-akaB4676d ago (Edited 4676d ago )

When did i ever said LoS wasnt excellent ? I'm not even going to bother with the rest of your post and just agree to disagree .

Iga had tons of excellent ideas for Curse of Darkness . It was actually good unlike his first ps2 forray , but also vastly underfunded .

Sevir4676d ago

Travesties? LOS was the Best CV game in years... The ones Iga made on PS2 that were 3d were Utter Crap... Castlevania's saving grace in being relevant was all thanks to mercury steam and David Cox, David Cox was project lead after Kojima on MGS4

So The franchise got new life.
I really hate how people cling to the old when the old declines and doesn't transition well into the modern, and they complain about the series becoming stagnant and not changing and then it does and is actually good but they complain it's not like the old... Whiners. Classic case.

What happens when you make good games, keep it up konami, you've been doing great. Please do a AAA Castlevania too, or heck just start off remaking/remastering old games to play it safe.

Alek83102d ago

Bought both Castlevania Advance Collection and the Dominus Collection. I would absolutely love to have all the GBA games as well, and of course Symphony of the Night.

What I would really love though, is a true next gen sequel to SotN.

Cacabunga77d ago

Not any games: SINGLE PLAYER GAMES!!!
I bought Silent Hill and MGS3!
Keep them coming, i will keep supporting!

nommers103d ago

Hoping for a new rumble roses someday

Scissorman103d ago

that's what happens when you make silent hill great again.

Inverno103d ago

Ironic. Also I guess the whole "fk Konami" phase is over now that they're selling remakes of already great games. People are easy to please, just rattle pretty graphics them.

gold_drake102d ago

i mean, silent hill f is a brand new game and it sold better then silent hill 2 remake.

franwex103d ago

Woah, making good games that people want to play pays off?
Someone tell Ubisoft and Square-enix!

badz149103d ago

SE make good games. WTF are you talking about?

franwex102d ago

I don’t mean final fantasy. I meant their OTHER games. Like their Babylon’s Fall, Avengers, etc. Don’t be coy.

RedDevils102d ago

You must be living under a rock if you put SE in the same category as Ubisoft.

Reaper22_102d ago

Well,, I think all publishers have made some good and bad games. Its a risky business.

Nice. Im glad they are doing that.

Vits171d ago

Very unlikely to happen, but I really wish they at least remastered Shattered Memories. From a story telling point, that is still my favourite title and I think it would fit really well as a VR game.

gold_drake171d ago

why is it very unlikely to happen?

2 and f sold really well. especially f

if they nail 1, then im all on board

on_line_forever171d ago

When I want to play silent hill game I always expect to get the same atmosphere I was see in SH 1 & 2 with deep and great story connect with silent hill city (not another city ) so if Konami want to continue release new games it should based on the success of these games.

In my opinion I think the game need :

- improve combat ( no more action just improve the combat and physics)
- another good and deep story
- improve creatures and enemies design
- add mysterious puzzles and it will be good if these puzzles connected with game story
- and of course Akira should involved in the project.
- create mysterious characters

gold_drake171d ago

good, cause .. i mean, after 2, it kinda goes downhill.
off the rails after 3 ha

Miraak82 171d ago

I kinda liked SH4:The Room .. it was kinda weird ... in a good way

BlaqMagiq1171d ago

We need a Silent Hill 3 Remake after 1

Looks like Mobile is still their bread and butter. But I'm glad they are at least diversifying finally...

CrimsonWing69193d ago

Isn’t that the case for most in the mobile gaming market?

cloganart193d ago

It's just saddening to see.

TheEroica193d ago

My god what I'd give for a new Castlevania game.... Still one of the coolest IPs in gaming.... I'd love to play a AAA Castlevania game that gets the god of war treatment.... Treat the whip like a character. Simon Belmont.... Dracula. Go.
