Evil Empire doesn't understand Castlevania. Japanese franchises must be handled by japanese devshttps://files.catbox.moe/2e8s0s.mp4
>>738462845shut up, chud
The Netflix show has had horrible horrible consequences for this franchise and a lot of other series
It's fine.
>>738463531Did you even listen to the mp4? Clearly Evil Empire are going with what's popular with young people these days, rather than giving us an authentic CV experience. Nothing wrong with the music itself, it just doesn't belong to a CV game.Once again, Dead Cells RtC DLC (or should I say "Symphony of the Night" DLC, but whatever) had a much more respectful approach both in visuals and music. Belmont's Curse on the other hand feels like...a reboot? Like Mirror of Fate except they are tainting the original continuity.
>>738464006I don't care about your schizobabble. It sounds fine.
>>738464276Dafuq? Please articulate at least.
>>738464276>>738463531God I hate zoomer tourists. You've let so many fucking games and franchises get ruined by your bullshit mantra "it's fine." And the worst part is that these aren't even YOUR FRANCHISES. Of course you think it's fine, you're a retarded tourist.Music is like, one of the main things about Castlevania. Both the classics and the Iga games.
>>738464564Yep music is like one of the guiding treads of the franchise. Both classicvania and metroidvania, and even weird experiments like grimoire of souls, judgment and harmony of despair didn't feel "disjointed" from the rest of the series thanks to the music.This dubstep stuff is like ??? Sounds similar to the Prince of Persia roguelike.I wish zoomers just admitted that these games are for them/modern audiences/netflix folks and that the og fanbase has been betrayed, instead they have to gaslight you and mock you and call you a schizo.
>>738463521>jewflixWesterners have had a poor creative track record with this series since LoS, which was way before that crappy show existed. Really this whole nuCV era is just a repeat of that one, and is just as shit with the collections being the only exceptions.
>>738465057>wtf an evil empire game sounds like an evil empire game!?You are genuinely autistic. Go complain to konami if you think they don't deserve the IP, Konami clearly does think they do considering this is the second collab with them now.
>>738466158>if you don't like the new product you are autistic
>>738462845I hate frenchoids.
>>738466158Shame it can't look and sound like a Castlevania game.
>>738462845This vaguely reminds me (heavy emphasis on vague) of CV Chronicles take on wicked child (arranged) but less bombastic and fun, so I'm not very excited about this game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzQMHv1EVYAI do feel like replaying CV Chronicles after listening to this song though.
They should steal theme park music, a haunted house from a Britbong theme park has music that would be very fitting for a Castlevania game.https://youtu.be/cpPxbzGGOj4
>>738467330They could have totally gone the Chronicles route with CV3/CoD/Pachislot music, instead it just sounds like more Dead Cells.
Reminds me a bit of nu-Isaac music. Not too bad, but not good either.
>>738462845>another Castlevania where you play as a twinkYikes, and you're right, music sucks too for that game in the franchise.
>>738462845Every game should have Linkin Park playing in the background.No exceptions.
>>738462845>more dead cells sloppaI knew when I found out who the devs were
>>738462845I've only played Super, Rondo of Blood, SoTN, Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia but yeah this doesn't really sound like something from a CV game.
>>738462845>lo-fi beats to girlboss to
>>738462845This is Dead Cells 2 though. It sounds fine. Still waiting on a new Castlevania.
>>738462845SotN has so many genres of music in the game that it’s hard to judge one little snippet
>>738462845Kek wait until we know more about the story. Having a cursed protagonist so early in the timeline is already wrong, and the story "themes" published by the writer Marie Rouzie sound absolutely woke. To think that the Belmonts should be pure and holy...and christian...
>>738469217It’s fine, it’s not as if anything CV is canon after DoS anyway
>>738469202Yeah but none of them sound like what you'd find on a youtube studying music playlist
>>738468340okay, jack
>>738462845With the exception of SotN and Rondo of Blood, Castlevania has never had good musichttps://youtu.be/2egNvI1vyD0
>X was never good!You zoomers are so god damn boring and repetitive.
>>738462845the other new clip btw>-Candle Stick->Another famous feature following the meat.>Breaking it occasionally drops items.https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/2050358707721285632/vid/avc1/1280x720/MPob05fD9NytjxMk.mp4?tag=14

>Evil Empire doesn't understand Castlevanianeither does Konami tho
>>738469727I don't like this art style. There is something off about it.
>>738469623>Konami>Having bad music(You)
>>738469760https://youtu.be/hll52i1ceUM?si=v-ZSGu_lqjwWqyHD
>>738469901Art style isn’t the problemThey’ve made all the platforms and foreground blackThe old games had sprites and tile sets fill every inch of the screen
>>738469901It's far too saturated and cartoonish.
I'm excited for Bloodstained 2 instead.
>>738470296Same. I'm currently replaying ROTN.

>>738465404Lords of Shadow was all Japanese OG Konami people though. Kojimbo had his hands in it too.
>>738470565I played Lament of Innocence for the first time last year and I thought it was pretty fun. Only 3D CV game I haven't played yet is curse of darkness but I enjoyed the 64 ones too.
>Castlevania music was never go-ACK!!https://youtu.be/f3fp_mlZfyc?si=GXiNZbSIz8G083YBhttps://youtu.be/9Q_da2FxEPI?si=LflGnGYFtvgm0qZThttps://youtu.be/yweYQlMcc5g?si=II9EER5WuiHjpm5ghttps://youtu.be/eXOsUBrfaPA?si=bFOpUdxk9-RjhSf1
>>738470809I also played Lament and really really enjoyed it, but am getting filtered on the final boss and didnt actually finish it.
>when a porn hack has more soul than the new gameI'm getting filtered hard by this one though
>hurrdurr it doesn't look like Castlevania!Did you retards also said that when Lords of Shadows came out? No you didn't
>>738462845reminds me of thief
>>738472209who tells him
>>738462845>cat box moefuck off
>>738469901Looks like the standard western 3D cartoon style ala Disney and Blizzard
>another thread where 40 year olds don't understand not everything is catered to them and things from their past change and modernizewe seriously need a site wide purge of anyone 35 and older maybe even starting at 30 to be safe
>>738462845The music itself is fine, but I agree that it doesn’t fit Castlevania at all.
>>738464006>Clearly Evil Empire are going with what's popular with young people these daysWell, yeah, Castlevania has a lot of buttrock because of that
>>738472430>we seriously need a site wide purge of anyone 35 and older maybe even starting at 30 to be safethis would unironically kill 4chan, anyone younger than that is on tiktok and shit
>>738472502>this would unironically kill 4chanthis would unironically be a good thing too
>>738462845wtf. castlevania should sound like this at all times.https://youtu.be/Fq1PeyvwfDg?si=5XBq_wLGz6FDgSoF
>>738470690>was all Japanese OG Konami peoplewrong>Kojimbo had his hands in it tooall he did was oversee the jp localization. He had no creative input, all actual development was done by mercuryshit
>>738470690he only suggested to call lords of shadow castlevania, recycle recognizable elements like the names and make gabriel look like a normal guy rather than a gigachad. that's it. that's the input of kojimbo.
>>738467625Question: Would I, as someone who hasn't played Dead Cells and doesn't have a schizo parasocial relationship with the developers, give a single fuck?
>>738462845I just don't understand people saying that this looks good, it looks like absolute ass and more close to Metroid Dread than any Castlevania.
>>738473521people are desperate for castlevania ANY castlevania
>>738473521it's netflix fans of course, people who will likely not even beat the game, but they will buy it. the only thing that matters.
>>738474180
>>738473930I'll never understand why autists are obsessed with Castlevania as an IP. That is so retarded to me. The whole thing is literally based on public domain properties, you could make your own Fisher-Price ripoff and it would make literally zero difference.
>>738472430Castlevania boomers are pretty obnoxious. The GBA and DS games sold poorly. Of course they are going to change formula. They did it with Lords of Shadows 1 and it was the best selling game in the franchise until that one Spaniard fucked up the sequel. Now they are going try again. The geriatrics who only browse message boards wont buy it, but everyone else might. The best thing Konami can do is remake one of the older games again. Throw them a bone. Expect the big AAA console game to also be completely different.
>>738469901I would genuinely prefer it if they just continued reusing SotN sprites.That's been Castlevania in my head (and hands) for so long that I have have no reason to want to leave it.
