I've been thinking: There's no Castlevania for PS3, 360, OR Wii! So I think I've got a pretty good idea for the next Castlevania game
It's the year 2000. 6 months have passed since Dracula was sealed away in 1999. But the castle wasn't sealed away...
One person stumbles upon the cursed castle (I don't have a name yet). He has no idea where he is. Upon entering, he discovers a mysterious whip. It's the VampireKiller, but he doesn't know it yet and the power of the VampireKiller was sealed away in 1999. Since he's trapped, he must explore the castle and, unknowingly, revive the power of the VampireKiller. He will also find out he's part vampire (no relation to Alucard or Dracula) which will lead to an all new gameplay element (see below) But there's a catch, when the whip has returned to it's old self, Dracula will return. So the guy must Defeat Dracula once again.
Since he isn't a Belmont he can equip other weapons and Armor. He would start out with a sword and a Whip. It would be more like Symphony of the Night than anything
It would be a 3D side-scroller (Think Dracula X Chronicles for PSP). And it would be available on PS3, 360, and Wii (Also, each version would have something unique about it. Achievments, motion controls, etc.)
I also have an all new element of gameplay added to the mix. The blood system. Since the guy's half-vampire, he can drink enemie's blood. When he drinks a certain amount of a specific enemy's blood, (ex. Skeleton) then he will learn a skill from that enemy. It's like the soul system in Aria/Dawn of Sorrow, but it's taken to the next level because when he gets enough of specific enemy/enemies' blood (ex. Skeleton and Peeping Eye blood) then he can forge weapons out of that blood to make extraordinarily strong Blood Weapons. But there's another catch to the added ATK power. Every time he uses the weapon, a predetermined portion of his life will go down (ex. 8, 16.). This adds an extra layer of strategy to this game.
So what do you think? Is my idea any good?
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Make it wii exclusive and use the wii mote for whipping actions
Make it like castlevania 64 but with next gen graphics. I wanna see what a wii exclusive can do!
GREAT IDEA MAN THE WII ***NEEDS*** A CASTLEVANIA GAME LIKE THIS, I WOULD LOVE IT IF THEY HEAVILY USED RPG ELEMENTS INTO IT TOO. PUT A SHOTGUN SWORD IN THERE SOMEWHERE.
Fingers crossed for SOTN 2
@1: playing a castlevania game with a whiping action as a must could be very much like attempting to play a one hand heavy metal drum solo. Man, that game has a lot of whiping in it... You will surely train an army of indiana joneses... :P
About the idea: Sounds great!!! I´d definitely buy that castlevania game!
Wow, I wasn't sure if people would like it or not! Thanks, guys! It's too bad that there's a 99% chance it will never materialize, though... :(
