    Sooo.... how is that a Castlevania game?


    There's a guy with a whip? Is that all it takes anymore?


    Looks more like Devil May Cry meets God of War, and to be honest neither are games I care much about. Good games no doubt, but I don't want Castlevania to turn into them as it transitions to 3D again.


    The Castlevania serisas has always been about satisfying traversal and rewarding players for exploration; combat always followed behind those two elements. This trailer shows nothing but combat, which has me worried.


    Let's hope Kojima and Mercury Steam have kept that in mind.

    For some reason, I was on the fence about this. "yeah, it'll probably be good, I guess, but..." was my line of thinking....


    Until there was that closeup of the damn mask. I don't know why, but that really clinched it for me. I'm obligated to try this now.


    Also, why is Kojima incapable of making a proper end to a trailer? This and Metal Gear: the Clone Wars both seemed to have 3 more endings than a 2 minute clip of video footage needed to. /speaking figuratively.

    Looks nice, but the actual gameplay reminds me too much of the Devil May Cry/God of War-school which I've sadly been stuffed with to the degree I lost the taste. Can't they just TRY to translate the 2D-castlevanias into 3D, just try, instead of turning them into vague action-games?

    @ShadowOdin finally got a copy of Suikoden III. Is upset wit...: they tried this before with a PS2 version. I got it for 500yen(5$) and I wasnt very impressed. I think it is a good idea to change the series a bit in 3d and maybe they can keep producing the 2d titles?

    @TT: No they didn't. The first last-gen Castlevania was an action-game with vague objectives, and what I hear the sequel wasn't much different.

    @Chaotix3: Kojima Productions is producing and overseeing the game's development. They're not doing the actual programming, but Kojima is playing a heavy role in production from what I hear.

    @snakepliskin: The game's visuals sure look amazing. It was some of the most amazing visuals I have seen in a while.


    I'm glad Kojima is backing this project up. It seems to me that he needs some rest from the Metal Gear Solid series, but seeing that he is developing Metal Gear: Peace Walker, and backing up Metal Gear Solid: Rising, that won't be happening in a while. Don't forget all the other titles he has planned, like the new Karaoke game, DDR game, Metal Gear Arcade, and some others.


    What a back-breaker! Kojima needs to take a stretch after all this!
