>>736687643>NetflixvaniaNo thank you
>>736687643Looks like shit. wtf the MC is a woman also? woke trash as well lmao.
>>736687764>what is Order of Eclessia
Despite the game looking like kino from a dev studio with a solid track record, /v/ has decided to hate this game for the crime of *checks notes* having a female protagonist.
>>736687643Is the MC a man or a woman? I can't tell.
>>736687643>French team>No KONAMI itselfYeah i'm not touching that flaming hot garbage with a 10 feet pole
>>736687643This looks like if reddit made a Castlevania game
>>736687825Nah its because devs are french and i hate french.
>>736687817released before the woke era. Now it's obvious why they chose a woman MC: woke agenda for EGS points
>>736687643Looks soulless and generic. Look at that combo based combat. That ain't CV. It's trash. Nuke France.
>>736687643Looks generic as fuck.

>>736687918I think you should kill yourself
>>736687643castlevania made by homosexual westeners, no thank you
>>736688118Nah. You will always be a disgusting faggot though.
>fighting Joan a saint because hurr christianity bad>the corrupted dude is confirmed to be trevorReeks of netflix influence
>>736687643>generic art style for monstersNo, not castlevania
>>736687643I'm not ready to trust Konami again
>>736687643If I wanted to play dead cells I'd just play dead cells, this looks like shit and shares nothing with castlevania besides the name.
>>736687643buying one copy for every complaint on this thread btw
>>736688327No you aren't.
>>736687643Looks soulless as fuck
>>736687643even ASTLibra a game made by one autist looks better than that
>>736687764this is why you will die an incel
Game looks good. /v/ just likes being miserable all the time.>nooo, why is the protag a woman? WOKE WOKEshut the fuck up, secondary
I already played SoTN like 25 years ago, don't need to play another sloppy clone made by fans.
Dead Cells is mid so I'm not expecting anything from this game.
>>736688810Kill yourself disgusting tranny shill
>>736688810>>736688719Fuck off nu-male
>>736687643Konami should just hire M2 to remake the first 3 games ans maybe others after that.

>>736687825>>736688810This isn't your hugbox, tranny. Go back to plebbit if you don't like it.
>>736688039Shut the fuck up, Pierre.

>it looks sick as fuck>people are complaining
>>736688970It's been ruined and raped already.
>>736689057No, I'll stay here and call you a retarded faggot everytime you start bitching.
>>736687764>"P-play bloodstained instead"

>>736689092>it looks sick as fuck
>>736687643>dead cells devsand it's trash
>>736687643I forgot this existed. The art is trash and looks like it was made by subhumans.
itt: pic related
>>736689275>dead cells is bad because... IT JUST IS, OK!
>>736689256I'm guessing that glitched, because that looks fucking awful
>>736687643no igarashi = fakevania
>>736688902>>736688918>>736689057>bunch of faggot secondaries trying to force politics seething after being called out you're exactly like SJWs with the "everything is political" stance and forcing it on everything while not even being fans of the actual property you're talking about
seeing a women protagonist is literally triggering. i thought this was a safe space for chuds like me but i guess not
Reminds me of the LoS 3DS game. Which was fine.
>>736687643>single glance at the thumbnail from a screencap>can already tell the game looks like shit
>>736689449so all CVs before Symphony are fake?
>>736689590yea it's janky garbage with broken hitboxesSOTN saved the series
>>736687643How is this artstyle called?
>>736687859>This looks like if reddit made a Castlevania gameThat would be Hollow Knight actually.
>>736687891
>>736689005name 1 (un) good french game
>>736689669netflix inspired
>>736689679>That would be Hollow Knight actually.they laughed at it when they saw it in 2017
>>736687643looks like a generic indie gamewhy did they ruin my wifealso>france
>>736689773E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy
>>736689773Little Big Adventure 2
>>736688810i skipped that one. I will not play a game where you only play as a girl. they better provide a male option or I will not purchase. men shouldn't be pretending to be women.
>>736689460This is how you look
>>736689669Comic Style Inking
>>736687643>Netflixvania artstyle>corrupted Jeanne d'Arc just so they can sully herFuck that noise. Both Sonia and Jeanne don't deserve that.
> > 736689890back to the shartyno you for you
>>736689890>shartyniggerof course, that explains the underage and manufactured outrage
>>736687825>solid track recordNo I hate it because dead cells is fucking awful
>>736687643#notmycastlevania
>>736689172As someone that hated LotS, at least it failed trying something different so I respect it.There's already a million metroidvania, I don't want to play Castlevania but worse.
>>736689773There's plenty of fantastic games made by french devs. I guess zoomers only know modern Ubisoft.
>>736690017>dead cells is fucking awfulfiltered
>>736689990>tranime cuckOf course that explains the blatant corporate bootlicking and faggotry
So shills have adapted to crying "secondary" when people say their game looks like shit.
>>736690132How do you get filtered by a game with 20 get out of jail free mechanics retard?
>no contact damage>in a castlevania gameuhhhhh ?
Thread reeks of white contrarians.
>>736687643The Castlevania DLC on Dead Cells looked better than this
>>736687643What is this the name of this kind of animation? Flash animation? I've always hated it. It screams laziness.
>>736689173>Something differentDifferent for Castlevania, sure, but trying to make it look as much as any generic indie metroidvania as possible hardly qualifies as "something different"
*sips*Might I recommend playing Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement™ instead
>>736690145Anime website
>>736690272bro when asked what those games are basing THEIR look off of:>sh-shut up, chud
>>736690174You're secondary for bitching about a female MC even this the series has had several already.
absolutely horrid fucking artstyle
>>736687934The combat is the only good thing about it.
>>736687838Not a single dev from what you knew as Konami works there anymore.
>>736690409I want Castlevania combat. Not generic, modern indie metroidvania combat.
>>736689669shit
>>736687643Yikes looks like slop
>>736690017>dead cells is fucking awfulDead cells is great you subhuman shartynigger
All of you that hate the french don't worry, they will soon be extinct.
>>736690486define castlevania combatinb4 you either can't say anything at all, start mumbling about art style, or mumble about alucard (since that's the only game with prestige, and you've played none)
>>736687825No, it's because I played and didn't like Dead Cells.
>>736690486>I want Castlevania combat.which one? single direction whip?
looks like shit, will be waiting for this insteadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBrEFKjuCBE
Why is Jeanne evil?
>>736690486Castlevania combat IS the generic thing, dumbass. What do you think generic means?>>736690538>soonThey already are.
>>73668782599% of the time when a western studio picks up a project in a long running Japanese IP, it's shit. These devs are bad and this game looks nothing like Castlevania.
>>736690632what's dracula doing in paris
>>736690632Because the french are creatively bankrupt.
the more they've shown, the more i like the art style. obviously I would've taken full 2D sprite over this 2.5D stuff every sidescroller likes doing nowadays but it looks a lot prettier than bloodstained did. I thought it looked bad initially but the red cathedral area in particular looks cool and reminds me a lot of oldschool castlevania backgrounds.
>>736690259This. They should have used the Dead Cells artstyle and it would have been better.
>>736690632Because according to netflix christianity is evil
>>736690632>characters are blurry as fuck
>>736687643this looks like shit. at not a single point in the trailer did it look even remotely like a castlevania game.fuck konami, may they rot in hell.
>>736690714they're not wrong, it's death cult
>>736687643>Doesn't look like Castlevania>Doesn't play like Castlevania>Doesn't sound like CastlevaniaCool story bro
>>736690734it's a jpg from a compressed youtube video
>>736690581No hit stop spam.
>>736687817Really terrible and was the straw that broke the camels back causing the reboot you retardos all hated.
>>736690809you got it mixed, that's muslims
>>736690828so... you think that the whip should play differently than it has ever played outside your head?
>>736690710I liked the artstyle from the get-go. I have no idea where all the hate is coming from. Then again, I never watched the Shitflix Castlevania.
>>736690885same shit
>>736690810it unironically looks like they made a shitty generic metroidvania, realized it wouldn't sell, and begged konami to let them slap the castlevania brand on it
>>736690283>Bloodstained is now more castlevania than castlevania itselfGod I have konami and western devs
>>736687817>>736688719TRANSTRENDER CRYBENDER
>>736690918eh touche
What will you do if it's actually good?
>>736690283I played the first Bloodstained and thought it was awful. The combat is floaty as fuck.
>>736690714>hindoo running the gay alucard show has an axe to grind with Christianity and demonizes it.Shocking.
Now the shill thinks everybody is one person.
>>736690914I just find 99% of 2.5D games ugly in general but thats down to personal taste.the art style is very BOLD and most areas seems to be solid color coded alongside the enemies in them so I can get people being turned off by it. alongside such smooth animations it feels weird seeing it in a castlevania game which are mostly pixelated and slow. ultimately no one can form a full opinion till the game comes out and people play it though.
>>736690905I see you've not played Castlevania before. Either that, or you have no idea what hit stop is. Good day.
Sure is strange how this game is getting ragged on, almost like it's targeted shitposting.
>>736691005If it's shit, it's shit. If it's good, it's still shit because that's all that needs to be said in order to derail any potential discussion.
/vee/ shitters are bad at video games and Dead Cells is too hard so not surprising they're shitting on new Castlevania.
>>736687643>whip>sword>spear>fistssotnbros... We're already surpassed
>>736691005It's probably good. Doesn't mean it's my taste.
>>736691151>get hit by attack>get sunned>swing whip>have to wait for attack to finish before wacky waving inflatable arm tube manningtake your pick
>>736691167>half of the thread is shartyshitYeah.
>>736689449Iga is a hack. Hagihara is needed for a good metroidvania.
>>736691005Doesn't matter if I get it for free because it look like shit and I'm not supporting thatIf it's bad I'll laugh at the devs getting fired, if it's good, I get a free game.It's win/win
>>736691149>the art style is very BOLDI like that, I love when devs experiment with different artstyles, but I suppose that's not for everyone.>it feels weird seeing it in a castlevania game which are mostly pixelated and slow. The only Castlevanias I played are SotN and Lords of Shadow, so I guess I'm just not attached enough to the series for that to be an issue.
>>736690632Going off of the other bit of dialogue maybe she’s just fighting Sonia because she’ superstitious of the Belmonts, and it’s an earnest mistake.Could also be she’s going after Dracula or Gilles De Rais and the two of them happened to collide.
just show me the music plz. your art is nice, not a fan of the combat but if you have good music to i will throw some sheckels at you frenchies !
>>736687825The animation is “bouncy”. It sucks.
>no contact damage
>>736691421yes.you have to keep in mind order of ecclesia was the last "classic" castlevania to be released and that was 18 years ago.Jumping from pic related to what has been shown in BC's gameplay is quite jarring. obviously people are going to be hyperbolic on the internet either way.
>>736689143Is this game coop? It sort of looks coop, which would be cool.
>no contact damageFinally good combat system in Castlevania
>>736691648>*turns 360 degrees and walks through you*
>>736691464the fuck does that even mean?
>>736687825is it actually a female protag?i thought its just another belmont fag with a braid
>>736687643the new shinobi and ninja gaiden sidescrollers both mog the shit out of this in terms of art design
>>736690632Because Dracula's Castle corrupts the souls of the dead?Joan died in the 1430's and at that time the Belmont clan were still considered outcasts by the Church until Trevor Belmont saved their asses.
>>736691607nigger, those 3ds castlevanias are more classic than ooethe only thing it has similar to classic castlevanias are fucking pixels
>>736689669westoid
>>736687643Gameplay and concept are really cool, not gonna lie. Still dislike how it looks but now I do want to play it.
>>736691747she is a Belmont
>only $40 cool. more businesses should maybe start releasing smaller budget games for cheaper prices huh ?
>>736691713*smooth criminal intensifies*
>>736688678Astlibra looks like barf
>>736689669>What is this artstyle called?*
>>736691987grenouilles intelligentes
>>736691776For what it’s worth there may literally be a Belmont with dark supernatural powers walking around (the Fallen) so Joan might not be totally incorrect about her assessment of them.
How did anyone think this style was good? Its so much worse than Dead Cells and even that was filled with bullshit particles and visual vomit.
>>736687643>HERES YOUR NEW CASTLEVANIA GAME BRO>ITS MADE BY A WESTERN ROUGELITE INDIE STUDIO LOL>IT HAS THE SOUL OF THE NETFLIX SERIES BTWI would literally rather be force fed lava until I die then play this
>>736687891Simple as. In this house we hate the fucking french.
>>736690675Getting a baguette to stick in his son's ass!
>>736692085>>IT HAS THE SOUL OF THE NETFLIX SERIES BTW?
>"HIRE FANS LOL">konami actually hires fans>/v/ gets mad
This doesn't look good.
>>736687643I HATE MILLENIALSI HATE MILLENIALSI HATE MILLENIALSI HATE MILLENIALSI HATE MILLENIALSI HATE MILLENIALS
>>736692190>>"HIRE FANS LOL"Who the fuck are you quoting?
I really don't see what's there to dislike, did you guys really not like DC that much?
>>736692218>Castlevania: Belmont Returns
>>736692085>hurrdurr it's them Netflix ruined my vidya!Even though Konami is on record saying it's a sequel to CV3 and Curse of Darkness?
>>736692218the variety of weapons is promising but the wall jumps looks really stiff
>>736692147You can tell from the promotional material we’ve gotten so far that it is tied to the Netflix show. It’s also made by a western studio so guaranteed a tranny is behind the story
>>736692218>platformer shit>like the 2d prince of negroI mean I understand platforming with spikes in PoP but Castlevania was never a platformer game with spikes all over, the only part they have this was in the clocktower gear section. This is gonna be a chore to backtrack just like prince of negro
>>736690632i hate this anime character design mindset of just overdesigning the fuck out of the character by attaching as many quirks and bells and whistles as possible to the characters. its what plagues the style of Hades as well
>>736687918No one likes SJW like you that go off about dog whistles and hidden intent just because you're obsessed with identity politics
>>736692412Trannies are behind everything.
>>736692147Some people were completely buck broken by that shitty show.Just move on people, shit is canceled and we are getting castlevania games again.
>>736692489you might be overreacting
>>736689409idiot
why cant we get a castlevania with the style of the belmonts from smash? it was such an excellent translation from their NES counterparts
>>736692412but where do the jews fit in
>>736692412See>>736692362
>>736687817Shanoa actually looked like a woman.
>>736692412YWNBJ
>>736691738Look at it, faggot. Watch her run.
>>736692489they're pauldrons anon
>>736687643I want sprites
>three castlevania threads up right nowyeah this game is totally not being shilled
>>736689132Bloodstained sexualized the MC therefore it's not woke
why must castlevania just be a bunch of skinny glittery twinks and anime shit? i miss the 80s bodybuilder actionman look of the older games
>>736692218Its doesn’t look or feel like CV at all.
>>736692824>new gameplay trailer>SHILLS SHILLS ONLY ONE THREAD ALLOWEDKek
>>736687825holy chatgpt
>>736692576Wasn't Simon ginger ssj gods?
>>736692925>nooooooooticing is now chatgpt
>>736691002>replying to yourself
>>736692910hi shill
>>736692885It all went downhill with that twink loser, Richter. The franchise never recovered.
>>736687643Ok it actually looks like it plays pretty smooth.I still don't like the art direction that much. Looks like anime Darkest Dungeon.
>>736692824God forbid a fandom that has been STARVING for a new game is suddenly excited for the first castlevania game in 13 years.
>>736692826>>736689132Do she take futanari potion?
>french devs>female character is a stick with no tits nor assGrim. You can't even count on the french being horny anymore.
>>736692362Yeah dude let’s give Castlevania to a western indie rougelite studio they’re going to give it an epic redesign and tie it in to the Netflix show oh my god I can’t fucking wait this is going to be SO SO SO SO GOOD if they made a shitty roguelite that no one gives a fuck about they HAVE TO BE the perfect fit for this beloved Japanese franchise in a genre they’ve never made oh man I can’t fucking WAIT!!!! I bet they’re going to make the fan favorite characters racially inclusive and there will even be trans representation!!!! NOT TO MENTION THE HECKIN ART STYLE THAT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE CASTLEVANIA YAAAASSSS THIS FRANCHISE IS IN GOOD HANDS NOW THEY MIGHT EVEN ADD LE HECKIN PARRY AND I-FRAME DODGE MECHANICS SO ITS LIKE HECKIN DARK SOULS :OOOOO
>>736687643>Game from an established franchise>Triple-indie
>>736687825>a dev studio with a solid track recordAll the people behind Dead Cells are gone from that studio aren't they? I heard there was some drama or something
>>736693115YWNBJ
>>736691776Every version are top tier chads
>>736692945Only blonde Simon is canon.
>>736687643What's even the point of these games now. There's a million other games that play just like this.
>>736693115LMAOYou'll live.
>>736693205This want me play revamped 2
>>736693205He is also Christian. This is very important.
>>736693245whats the point of this post?
>>736692218>>736687643The gameplay looks fine, great even, i just loathe the artstyle, it makes me think of shit like >>736692225.
>>736693245I wanna whip Dracula in his stupid face.Fuck you.
>hmmm… time to start a new game…>OH I KNOW!!! HOW ABOUT A NEW RUN IN BELMONT’S CURSE USING THE BUILT IN SPEEDRUN MODE !!! IT EVEN HAS LINUX SUPPORT >OH MAN I JUST HECKIN PARRIED THIS MOB AND MY CHARACTER TELEPORTED THROUGH THE WALL SAVING ME 42 SECONDS ON THIS RUN, IM SO GLAD THIS SOULLESS WESTERN STUDIO MADE THIS GAME INTENTIONALLY WITH SPEED RUNNERS IN MIND
>>736693078Bloodstained exist, just put the Castlevania logo on if it's the only thing you care about
>>736693471
>>736688719>>736688810You're the real secondaries because Legends fucking sucks and no one likes it or Sonia.
>shartyteen>IMG_
Why are shartyniggers spamming hate against this game? out of all games its weird that its this one
>>736693603>"I like Sonia"
>>736693603it's a gameboy game, of course it sucks but that's besides the point
>>736693550OH MY HECKIN GOSH I CANT BELIEVE THEY LET YOU PET THE FLOOFIN CHONKIN BAT IN THIS GAME MY… MY LIFE IS COMPLETE! THANK YOU EVIL EMPIRE!!!! IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO PET THE FLOOFIN CHONKIN BATS IN CASTLEVANIA BUT THESE RACIST DIDDLY BLUD JAPANESE CHUDS JUST WOULDNT LET ME
>>736693603>secondaries are when precedent
>>736693603>castlevania having female mc is woke>castlevania has always had female mcs>but that game wasn't goodit's amazing how much discourse is involves pretending not to understand the point of your opposition, making discussion impossible
>>736693695Did Synthetic Man say anything bad about new Castlevania? I remember them spamming NG threads for no reason.
>>736693205Can he turned into god mode (ultra instinct) like Gabriel Belmont?
>>736693727please take your medication
>>736693697Seach your feelings, she doesn't exist. A myth to some historian, legend to other local.
>>736693771Notice how I didn't call out >>736687817 because OoE is actually good.
>>736693771Yaaaas I can’t wait for the strong female lead to emasculate the male MC! She might even save him like he’s a damsel in distress :o it’s so subversive! I bet these chuds have never seen something like that before ;)
>>736691005From the looks of things, nothing to worry about on that front. It doesn't even vaguely look like a CV game. Note that I'm talking about the gameplay, not the visuals, the character or anything else.
>>736689990>shartyfags have no argumentKEK true
>>736693907The quality is unrelated to the game having a female MC.
>>736693471>>736693727I laughed
>>736693907and how is that relevant to the point that was being made (that a CV game where the protagonist is the woman exists?)
>>736693898>"No father! She's real!!"
>>736690272I fucking love most indie metroidvanias.
> > 736693910the mc IS a woman
>>736688719>>736688810It’s fine to give the Japs a pass for a hot female MC. It’s not okay to give a western studio a pass for an ugly female MC. In the case of the Japanese they put in a hot female MC in the game on account of their political innocence. They just thought it would be cool to add a hot female MC in the game. For western studios, it’s a completely different ballpark because you have ugly feminist women and trannies making these decisions and they put an ugly, muscular female MC in to advance the cause of feminism, they say it themselves. Don’t play dumb now and try not to pretend that you don’t understand what I’m saying
>>736687764Today I learned that Sypha, Maria, Sonia, Charlotte and Shanoa are all woke trash. thanks /v/
>>736694173Your entire argument hinges on hypocrisy and dishonesty.god you fucking forced political fags should just kill yourselves
>>736694275>intent is not important lol
>>736690453too bad bloodstained sucks because the dev team that igarashi worked with were of mediocre quality
>>736694318>headcanon
>>736694275The western games industry, collectively, 15 years ago: >we need to add more powerful women representation into video games, and we can’t make them sexualized so they’re goon bait for incels>we need to add diverse POC into video games because games are too dominated by creepy white men, we’re going to put extra effort into Afro texture haired technology as well>we don’t want transfolx to feel left out of gaming so we will remove male/female and replace it with body type so everyone feels included Chud: uhhhh why are you doing this? I don’t like it>YOU MADE IT POLITICAL YOU INCEL STOP FORCING THE CULTURE WARlol
>>736694030Not really.Sonia is a dogshit character that ruins the entire Belmont line so it's great she was written off as not canon.
>>736694173YWNBJ
>>736694448you're making up intent in your head and are currently sperging the fuck out over the mere sight of a woman like a faggot
>>736694456the world does not revolve around mommy's neglect making you gay
>>736694532Nome of the things he said are wrong.
>>736694532>stop noticing patterns you incelNo. I’m going to keep noticing them. When a Jew bashes white people or advocates for war with Iran, I’m going to notice that and call it out. Similarly, when a shitty western indie studio takes a beloved Japanese IP and makes the protag a heckin badass woman I’m going to draw conclusions from that as well.
>>736694645>badass woman:(>badass woman, japan:Dbtw it's the same character
>>7366891432 faggot player characters. kek. we doomed.
>>736694635>>736694645This is the literally the other side of coin shit with politically brainrotted fags obsessed with making everything about politicsI doubt you've ever touched these series before yet you feel like injecting yourself into conversation just to blog about propaganda that nobody asked for just like SJWs before and you will justify it in your head saying its a necessary cause just like those people Considering the shartyfags in this thread I also suspect you don't even actually care about any of this and this is purely just bait
>>736694620If there was a male Belmont that fucked vampires and had children with them I'd hate them just as much.
>>736694731The motivation for both is different and you know that. Stop playing dumb.
>>736694731>Japanese character design blows westshit out of the waterCorrect. Glad you understand.

>>736695031>damphirOh, it's an ESL. No wonder it's so retarded.
>>736694330That was intentional. Bloodstained cost Z$50000000 to develop so that they could pocket the most amount of Kickretard money.If I see anyone talking about Bloodstained, I know they are retarded with even shittier taste.

>>736695285>Twilight childrenI just can't laughing....
>>736694847>blah blah blah blah just because this western indie studio is making the MC a strong woman doesn’t mean anything bro So true. When Neil Druckmann showed that the MC in TLOU2 was a lesbian with a hideous looking Jewish girlfriend and the other female main character was a complete desexualized muscular abomination it must have been the chuds fault for noticing that there was a political motivation behind it. I can’t believe these incels keep pushing their one sided culture war. Video games have always had ugly muscular lesbians as main characters. Video games have always had trans representation.
>if you ever make a typo, you are esltakes one to know one, i guess, saar
Let's be honest hereit does not pass the castlemania vibe check.
>>736695751True but I still laugh at all the retards that saw the crosswhip and started screeching about Netflix.
>>736695569>When Neil Druckmannyou're already veering off into something completely off topic that it isn't worth responding toyou're schizophrenic and a hypocriteyou're fabricating things completely out of nothing based on zero evidence you do not value honesty to respond to anyones argument against your own retardation. you do not even deserve this level of acknowledgement based on your level of delusional detachment from reality
>>736695895Look at the MC. There’s no daintiness to the way she moves. Her animations are no different than a man’s. The only thing identifying her as a woman is long hair. What do you think motivated the studio to design her that way instead of a more feminine vibe?
>>736694731You're homosexual
>>736696007because she was raised to be a hardass AND is on the clock pretending to be her dad?
>>736696090If you’re going to make a badass manly character with no femininity or sex appeal why make it a woman instead of a man? What motivated the designers to do that? You’re almost there
>>736696162Because they wanted to canonize Sonia, probably best known for being excised from it.
>>736696162I get the point you’re making and I don’t blame you for not liking this but you’re never going to have fun if you can’t ignore some latent leftist culture war stuff in pretty much every western game made after 2015
>>736687643This looks absolutely nothing like Castlevania. It might be a decent game, IDK, but it ain't no Castlevania.
>>736696240They should have made her look like Sonia from the concept art instead of a man with long hair
>>736687825Dead Cells fucking sucks as do all rougelikes and the artstyle looks legitimately repulsive. There's not a single hint of Castlevania's identity in this game. If you want a new Castlevanis just get Bloodstained 2 cause that looks infinitely closer to Castlevania than this does.
>>736696408>Dead Cells fucking sucksMaybe on planet retard, shitter. Git gud
>>736696467Nobody who says this actually thinks the game they're shilling for is good. This just reeks of overcompensation and sunk cost.
>>736696373They gave her a realistic enough (but still stylized) athletic woman build, put some different clothes on her, and did her ponytail differently. You MIGHT have a point if she was a fridge, but she's not.
>>736687643>joan of arcthis irks me more than the movement that is anything but castlevania-likei hope there isn't a parry
>>736687643Looks cool but I know better than to expect anything these days. Waiting to see if they'll still find a way to ruin a 2D action combat game somehow.>>736696408The worst parts about DC are the roguelite aspect and needing to go to bullshit difficulties just to beat the game, I assume this will be either a normal Metroidvania or maybe even kind of Classicvania so that should be enough to make it at least decent.
>>736696837Shouldn't Joan of Arc be heroine?
>>736697105>the art style>no contact damamgeThe fact that Bloodstained 2 is coming out that is just a normal SOTN like game just makes me wonder what the point of this even is. I can already see this is going to feel like an indie metroidvania and absolutely fucking nothing like Castlevania.
>>736696837BOO!
>>736697201>can already see this is going to feel like an indie metroidvania and absolutely fucking nothing like Castlevania.It literally is since it's being made by an indie dev
>>736697201it's going to be dead cells but not a rougelite
>>736697201>what the point of this even isCompetition. Or maybe they felt bad about the best Castlevania content in years being a collab with Dead Cells and told them to just make something for the 40 years anniversary since it had a good reception.And yeah it's absolutely going to feel like DC in a Castlevania-ish setting.
>>736697303>>736697484Yeah it's like they didn't even try to make it a Castlevania game.
>Bloodstained 2 shill

>>736697965Aria of Sorrow is the best Metroidvania of all time.
>>736697630Her dialog blurb calls out the Belmont lineage for consorting with dark magic, so maybe she's not even corrupted, just opposed to their methods.
>>736698467
>>736698523They literally say she's corrupted in the trailer.
>>736698225yes but they are praising the game, they are starved enough to praise some slop like that

>>736698756>you haven't even played SOTNSOTN + relicslop 1 + relicslop 2 = 3I also played DS Castlevania with sexy looking but retarder girl. Shanoe or Shunae can't remember her name. This game was better than SOTN
>>736698896trvth nvke
>gamers when they see a new entry in a series whose mainline entries alone span several genres and art directions: "this doesn't feel like Castlevania" cope critique to explain away why you're a jaded prick who feels no joy for anything anymore. This looks fucking sick.
>>736698960play aria of sorrow, c'est beaucoup
>>736698960I mean I agree I don't think SOTN is the best metroidvania style Castlevania. SOTN gets it's Love for being the pioneer of the genre rather than being the best at it. It was the first so naturally there would be later games that build on the formula that do it better.

>>736687764In theory I have no issue with a woman Belmont. The issue is in 2026 when they change the main character to be a woman in a game the next bunches of games are either going to be about her or other woman and it will be hard to get a male main character again.
>going to take place in France>"ok don't really mind that">we are going to shoehorn French shit and history in itno go fuck yourself.
Eh, the art style looks okay, and I don't mind playing as a female, as long as she's hot.
Why have they still not given us her name

Or even sexy no homo full virtus vampire hunting ikemen. It was such missed opportunity in Bloodstained. I expected thousand costumes. It should be selling point of those games. There is really something about unlocking new outfits for your character. Maybe it evokes your inner fatherhood *hits pipe* I don't know.

>>736701502Yes in the fucking castle itself you retard
I have several reservations about this game, but utilizing french places and history isn't one of them. It's always been a waste that many CV games, despite taking place in different eras and locations, don't make use of them at all. PoR was especially guilty of doing nothing with its WW2 era setting.
>>736701667just admit you are a moron lol.you genuinely said the dumbest thing i've seen for ages on the internet so congrats.
>>736701664please don't dodge the question jeet
>>736701703No I didn't. The castle has always been its own self contained thing. Having famous French people in it is retarded
>>736693702Belmont's Revenge is a GB game and one of fhe best in the series. Legends is just ass.
>>736700331Nobody gives a shit about Castlevania's continuity.
>>736701667If you bothered to even watch the trailer you'd know that the footage in the trailer shown takes place WITHIN france, as in drac's castle is a separate area that hasn't been shown yet
>>736702117They fight Joan of Arc by the castle retard
>>736687643It's sad that metroid vanias all look the same now. This looks so derivative. I also hate the one color filters on everything. Everything red. Everything yellow now.Boring to look at. Symphony of the night actually looks colorful.
>>736702138by the castle isnt in the castle
>>736702187yes it is lmao at the goal post moving
>>736702019>one of fhe best in the seriesLolIt's fine I guess but only seems exceptional because how bad the other two areAdventure: 3/10BR: 6/10Legends: 4/10
I would like at least 1 true Classicvania out of this revival period. I am tired of Mvanias. Indie devs made too many.
>>736699138SotN is far and away the best of them and the handheld ones are mediocre. Iga is nothing without Hagihara.
>Based on NetflixvaniaWOKE TRASH. PASS!
>>736702138>>736702261Alright, can you point out where drac's castle is in this image? Please note that the building on the right is the notre dame cathedral
>>736702398Inverted castle doesn't change up enough so the 2nd half starts to get stale and SOTN has much weaker bosses than some later entries. SOTN is good, great even but it's not the best Castlevania.
>>736701697>It's always been a waste that many CV games, despite taking place in different eras and locations, don't make use of them at all.nobody says that, nobody ever cared about that, kill yourself
>>736702454>note draculas castle is not draculas castleI accept your concession retard
>>736687643Female protagonist is wasted potential. Only gooners and the 5% of women who buy this are going to care about that shit.
>>736702302Nah. A lot of the level design in BR is stellar. As a Classicvania diehard I enjoy the vast majority of them but I find myself more tempted to replay BR than Bloodlines or even Rondo. It strikes a similar balance to 1 and 3 while still having its own identity with the fireball and ropes (the latter of which deserved to be revisited). It's a great game and everything Adventure and Legends isn't.
>>736702456>SOTN has much weaker bosses than some later entries.Which games do you think have good bosses? Please say OoE.
>>736702575This is dracula's castle? Damn, must've been hit by the housing crisis
>>736687891Based.
>>736702630Aria of Sorrow is the gold standard for Castlevania bosses, Harmony of Dissonance is also great.
>>736689687>Posts midwit gameLol
>>736702636I accepted your concession retard we are good
>>736702717>Aria of Sorrow is the gold standard for Castlevania bossesAbsolutely fucking not. There are no great bosses in it.
>>736702762and I accept yours mr "i like to complain about videos I haven't watched"
>>736702823see previous post
doesn't look like a castlevania game at all
>>736702618The fireball was an addition that made sense in Adventure (even if that game sucked) because there were no subweapons. BR brought back the subweapons and the fireball on top of that is overkill for an already easy game. The Mega Man level select screen was another bad addition as it flattened the difficulty curve for no real reason. It also notably has the worst Dracula fight in the series.
>>736701697Bloodline having SNES port
>>736689669Indie roguelike, is the same fucking derivative artstyle you see everywhere on indie games nowdays.
>>736702472Everybody says that, everybody always cared about that. It's one of the reasons why Bloodlines is the coolest game in the series.
>>736687825The "crime" is that it's a sequel to the Netflix show, not a video game. Any other criticism is secondary to that.
>>736703076no, kill yourself you retard
>>736688719>>736688810Is this not a remake of that game?
>>736690409It's comical that the protagonist carries a whip and fights with her bare hands.
>>736703076>It's one of the reasons why Bloodlines is the coolest game in the series.Nobody thinks this
>>736702302Every room in BR is a new puzzle there's nothing like it. Quite comfy>>736702925It lacks the Castlevania vibe. Just like Lords of Shadow. Takes itself too seriously perhaps. And the gameplay looks way too fast.
>>736688719That's not the ownage you think it is. Legends was and still is legitimately trash. Not even the fart sniffing critics liked it.
>>736701024>>736702091You shouldn't give ragebaiters any amount of attention.
>>736703181That game was about Trevor's mom going to fuck Alucard. It's not an exact remake. The only thing they definitely took from it was a girl Belmont.
>>736693695I think Sharteens pick their battles, sometimes. You can derail a Castlevania thread because the fanbase on /v/ isn't that huge, it requires more effort to derail a thread for a popular game series a lot of people want to discuss.

>>736703789what a coincidence, the protagonist in this game can use both a whip and her fists

Hey guys remember me?
>>736704312so first you complain that the protag is too different from past protags, and now you complain that she's too similar to past protags? what exactly do you want?
