Thread 725259271

What do you fags think we'll get for the 40th anniversary next year. Do you believe the leaks or are we just getting another collection or the chink mobile game? Also, Castlevania thread.

>>725259271 (OP)
We'll get a collab with the new Bloodstained game.

>>725259271 (OP)
The Metal Gear and Silent Hill aspects of the leaks came true, so who knows?

>>725259271 (OP)
Its going to be a "new" game featuring Alucard
So its either going to be a 3 remake or a sotn remake

>>725261527
Konami did say the Alucard-centric musical will define the direction of the franchise. I wouldn't mind remakes, but I'd prefer something new.

Collaboration with Fortnite youll get to be Simon or Alucard or whoever is the most recognizable character from the animated series.

>>725259271 (OP)
AAA cv that sucks AAAs

>>725261527
Dude, it's Konami, so: no.

>>725259271 (OP)
Just give me a functioning HoD version on PC, it's the bare fucking minimum they could do. And yeah I know that you can emulate it with online functions and shit but the last time I've tried doing that it would randomly hang up between missions making you lose all of your progress.

>>725259530
Dracula's public domain, but the skin in the trailer looks a lot like Castlevania's Dracula.

>>725261527
Might be fun.

>>725259271 (OP)
I hope for a 3D collection with 64 personally.

>>725259271 (OP)
Probably underwhelming. If I had to make a bet I'd say either another CV collaboration where the characters are shoved into some other game or maybe SotN finally gets a steam release.
What are the leaks?
>>725259530
I think it's kind of funny that Konami fucked with Bloodstained and they probably did this on purpose. For a while Bloodstained was getting a few collabs but the moment CV becomes available everyone would rather jump on that.

>>725265457
>Konami fucked with Bloodstained
Qrd

>>725259271 (OP)
>starts a Castlevania thread with "let's share our fanfictions"
What if I wanted to discuss the games

>>725266039
Just what I mentioned. Early on Bloodstained had a few collabs going but suddenly Konami woke up and decided to start licensing CV for collabs. Kind of took the wind out Bloodstained's sails.

>>725259271 (OP)
Castlevania f2p but it's a Warframe like. 3 days to craft a whip.

>>725265457
That's unfortunate.

>>725265457
>What are the leaks?
Back in 2021, an insider leaked Konami's new games and in that leak were Metal Gear, Silent Hill and Castlevania and the same leaker will come up from time to time to remind us that it's still happening. Unfortunately, it's supposedly a AAA reimagining, which may or may not be a good thing.

>>725259271 (OP)
>What do you fags think we'll get for the 40th anniversary next year.

Dookie.

>>725272259
>Unfortunately, it's supposedly a AAA reimagining
SotN seems like the obvious choice, like a 3D remake. Highly doubt it could ever work though.

>>725272513
CV3 is another contender, probably easier to do, too.

why won't they simbly release sotn on steam?

>>725272860
Kinda fucked up that they released it on mobile first.

>>725272690
I guess the older games would be easier to reimagine compared to SotN. For CV3 they'd probably add a co-op element or something.
>>725272860
All these years later and still no one really knows. It warrants its own release compared to compilations like the other ones. Seems entirely on Konami just not bothering to do it. I can get some 3D compilation being hard but why would SotN be an issue for them?

>>725273169
And the older games would be easier to integrate into IGA's canon or to use as a starting point to a new timeline.

>>725272860
No one knows, people think its some deal they did with Sony because of the PSP port but really we won't know till we have actual confirmation from either, I just think they're lazy and not worth whatever few sales they'll get, I dunno.

>>725272690
>>725273169
>>725273318
A CV3 remake would work and the plot could just use elements from SOTN and COD, maybe Hector can get a DLC campaign. Man, Grant and Hector, if handled well, will really fuck with secondaries.

>>725273673
I'm probably one of the only 15 people that read the Curse of Darkness manga, good shit.

>>725273891
Before Grimoire of Souls, Hector was probably the most developed Castlevania protagonist since he had like 2 manga about him. I suppose Alucard as well since he had that audio drama.

>>725274116
>Grimoire of Souls
Alucard being an autist and Simon being a bro was fun.

>>725273420
What about the mobile port?

Lecarde Chronicles 2 was good but I was probably ready for it to be over four hours before it was.

>>725277329
Is CotW better than LC2?

The Vampire Survivors DLC is unironically the best thing to happen to this IP since Aria of Sorrow.

>>725277521
I think so, yeah. Weapon variety and the way it handles magic are points for CotW. I also don't recall it making you leave the castle for key progression items once you get to that point in the game the way LC2 does, which seemed a little sloppy. LC2 is more challenging, but bosses are still hit-or-miss. The Death fight where the most threatening thing he does is rubberband you and do contact damage was lame as hell.

>>725277582
>Aria of Sorrow
That's my favourite Castlevania game.

>>725266837
Not gonna lie, the collabs were based.

>>725277521
It's not, but only by a little, the OST is notably worse, since he can't rip off CV tracks and the composer isn't that good.
It's not as challenging in terms of stages, or bosses, but it's still a lot of fun and if you enjoyed lecarde 2, you'll likely enjoy cotw. Migami's pixelart has gotten better, especially the plants/nature backgrounds.

>>725278863
Too bad vampire survivors is shit.

>>725281530
Do Wallachia: Reign of Dracula and Chronicles of the Wolf share a universe? I know two characters from the former appear in the latter.

>>725282771
Probably. I didn't play Wallachia but I understand there's a character named Radu, and then CotW has a character named Udar who's masked and doesn't really serve much of a purpose other than giving you a weapon--I'm guessing his real purpose is tying the universes of those games together.

>>725282771
Udar may or may not be Radu. Can someone share an image of Udar?

>>725283504
>>725283515
That's pretty cool.

>>725266837
>>725266837
>wind out Bloodstained's sails.
So basically the keanu of cyberpunk. Was curious how they could fuck up that bad with 5mln on ks. How does licensing work? Like in the music industry? If so, there will never be a good crossover. Best we will get with alucard is kellogg's castlevanerinos.

>>725282305
(You)

What would /v/ want out of a new Castlevania game?

>>725287653
Cute anime girls.

>>725287653
Open world metroidvania, but in 2.5D or fully 3d style with a lot focus on graphics and story.

>>725287653
Better itemization, mechanics, level design than most/all existing ones
There's a reason sotn and super metroid are goat.

>>725288108
>2.5D
Name one Metroidvania.

>>725288246
Bloodstained

Nothing, I'm just going to keep playing older Castlevanias. Currently replaying SotN.
Still got to beat NES 3, PoR and a handful more before I can say I'm done with the series.

>>725288320
Not 2.5D, try again

>>725287653
Something similar to Rondo

>>725259271 (OP)
Nintendo powers!

CV: Mirror of Fates

>>725287653
I would prefer a pure action platformer with a strong artstyle, which is why im really hoping the platinum rumors are true

>>725289749
I hope it's as art-heavy as Getsu Fuuma Den: Undying Moon.

>>725290893
Man, if Getsu Fuuma of all franchises came back, Castlevania should as well.

>>725287653
I think they'd need to go 3D if they want to bring the series back. I go back and forth on what I'd like to see. I liked Curse and Lament despite their issues with their more DMC style combat and I think Curse had some nice ideas I'd like to see further developed but I'm almost certain they'd try a Dark Souls route which I also think is a bit closer to what CV in 3D would look like. Hard to say.
>>725289749
>Platinum makes a Castlevania game
>After Kamiya, who's a big CV fan, left

>>725289749
Platinum's good at working with other companies, just look as Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, NieR:Automata and Ninja Gaiden 4.

>>725291463
They can do both, really, kinda like how Bloodstained has the mainline games as metroidvanias and the side games as classicvanias.

>>725287653
Super Castlevania Maker

>>725291463
>>Platinum makes a Castlevania game
>>After Kamiya, who's a big CV fan, left
I know, maybe it won't even have a space harrier section or QTEs

>>725291594
Sure, and if Konami is that vindictive they probably would just to screw over Iga, but I doubt they'd put that many resources towards it. They'll bet on one big game and the Souls formula still sells so they'd probably lean on that.
>>725292191
It'll be a Frogger section instead.

>>725292497
>>725292497
IGA said in an interview that if Konami wanted to work with him, he'd be more than happy to.

Are CoTM 1 & 2 any good if I want classicvania?

>>725293448
I'd say so. They're a bit easier, though.

>>725293074
Kind of doubt it'll happen. I'd imagine a best case scenario is that Konami makes a new 3D game and fingers crossed it ends up being good and they license out the IP over to Iga's company so that he can keep making 2D games in between the bigger releases.

This needs the HD remaster treatment.

I hope they spoil us good for the 40th anniversary.

>>725293625
Iga is doing his own thing, Castlevania needs a fresh director.

>>725293803
>Iga is doing his own thing
What he's doing is a legally distinction Castlevania reusing Castlevania ideas he's done before. He's like a guy who never got over a breakup and starts dating another woman who looks the same as the ex to try and make her jealous. If given the chance he'll leave Bloodstained and go back to his one true love.

>>725293625
That's probably the ideal outcome.

>>725287653
Setting is basically From Dusk Till Dawn. Well known bar turns out to be Dracula's castle. Keep it 2D. Main character is a Belmont who renounced his lineage, but he has to step up to save his crew. Main weapon is the Vampire Killer, but he can use guns if he wants. Main gimmick would be rings that give him different elemental powers and status boosts.
