CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN!
>>693261993Retarded anons don't know what the word canon means, apparently. Anyways, anyone else thinking about that other anon's fake leak?
>>693262087I doubt it, but I want it to be true.
>>693262087To them, Lords of Shadow and fucking Captain N are canon. I fucking hate secondaries so much.
>>693261993need to go back to this at some point so I can do sisters mode >>693262087qrd?
>>693262556Some guy kept posting that an SotN remaster will be announced on Halloween, again, probably bullshit, but I hope I eat my words.
>>693262556Loretta is so broken.
>>693261993Portrait of Ruin is such a weird game. The style and vibe of it seem to clash, but it's gameplay is tight as hell.
>>693262087>Retarded anons don't know what the word canon means, apparentlyThat other thread was cursed since the schizo was the first to reply. I love the game, but i know better than to post an SotN OP pic now.
>>693262651Yeah, the anime style clashes with the atmosphere. Still a great game, though.
What's the best handheld vania?
>>693261993STUPID DISCIPLE!
Well /v/
>>693262556>>693262635I mained Loretta and never really bothered with Stella.>>693263226Well, given that it's called "Awakening in the Moonlight", it probably ties into the chink gacha game.
>>693263273>Awakening in the MoonlightI mean Moonlight is also in SOTN's Japanese title and it's shared the name with V-kei band Malice Mizer's song of the same name so it fits the vibe.
>>693263430Oh yeah, I remember Nocturne in Moonlight. Also, I wonder if it will be anything like that radio drama we got years ago.
>>693263430Gekka no yakusoku was peak malice mizer.

>>693263090Dawn of Sorrow
>>693263090Aria of Sorrow.
>>693262556Sisters mode is the worst side mode you could possibly throw in these games.But PoR also has Richter/Maria mode and that's the best you could possibly throw in these games.Old Armor Knight is just for the lulz.Do I want to know what the fuck they were thinking?
>>693263226I kinda hope Carmilla and Laura are in it.

>>693264198what's so bad about sisters? I tried Old Axe Armor for a bit but got filtered by literally the first boss probably shouldn't have tried it on level 1 hard but still
If that anon is right and we get an SotN remaster announced tomorrow, troll anon is gonna go full ham on every thread.
>>693264341Based mods for deleting the previous thread before anyone replied to him.
>>693263226>lesbianWe already had yurivania, it was called Nights of Azure.
>>693264324>what's so bad about removing platforming in a platformerI don't know really. The axe armor mode is literally less of a joke.
>>693264461>Nights of AzureIs it worth playing? Looks cool
>>693264465oh lolI was the original guy you replied to so I was genuinely wondering since I never touched it
>>693264516I liked them, solid 7/10 for both.
>>693264530Yeah the sisters can only move by floating and only attack by touching the screen. They have no subweapons either, and no partner interaction at all despite them always being on screen at the same time.Genuinely, what the fuck?
>>693263226>traditional european beauty Alucard teaming up with rugged beauty Trevor, mysterious beauty Sypha, and roguish beauty Grant to slay her busty mother, Lord Dracula>timeskip forward to her doing so again, but this time with the help of the tomboyish beauty Maria while also standing against the possessed athletic beauty Richter, controlled by old hag Shaft>timeskip to a now traditional japanese beauty Arikado helping the exceedingly, obnoxiously bishoujo Soma take down middle-aged psychotic beauty Graham Jones with an elderly yet still youthfully spry beauty Julius stalking the halls as wellBros...how much is a ticket to Japan?
>>693265016>We're going to get official Fem!Alucard and Fem!Richter in our lifetime.
>>693261993Need more charlotte, already did my yearly lvl 1 portrait of ruin hard mode run with her
>>693265775I want to like LV1 Hard but it's just better to do LV.25 Hard + no damage instead.Taking so long to kill anything breaks the flow for me.
>>693265976Outside of the final boss it doesn't really take too long to deal with enemies, charlotte's spells still melt through them
>>693266070Last time I tried even regular enemies can take a little too much. Have only done 1 run like that because I like PoR, but otherwise my replays are on the other two hard modes.One of 'em was Charlotte only/no damage, you'd think Charlotte is the harder character but eh not really.
dawn of sorrow without the luck fix is miserable
>>693261993Which castlevania are you playing for Halloween?
>>693266735Aria of Sorrow, I have the Chaotic Realm saved for the occasion.
>>693265775charlotte is a miracle of the universe
>>693266735Order of ecclesias hard mode. It's going to be fun.
>>693261993Portrait of Ruin?more like PAINTING OF THE SOUL
>>693267339I'LL MAKE YOU MY MASTERPIECE
With both of them watching you and waiting for who you'll choose. Who would you rather fuck, Charlotte or Shanoa?
>>693267543it doesn't matter in that case.
>>693267543charlotte is the better option
>>693262601SOTN SOTN SOTN
>>693263090Portrait of Ruin and Circle of the Moon
>>693266735god i wish we would get pachinko Charlotte cutscenes
>>693269485monkey pawed. now they'll announce a new PoR pachinko tomorrow instead of SoTN remaster.
>>693269705>TomorrowWait what happens tomorrow? Also Castlevania is getting tons of collabs lately, no way they are not making a new game
Does the Ds collection look well on deck?
>>693269901The Vampire Surivors collab. Some anon said an SotN remaster, but I don't believe him.
>>693270061yes
My witch wife Carrie!
Please don't let this thread devolve into shit.
>>693272093I love Charlotte.
>>693262087You mean the very real link that we’ll be getting an announcement of a SOTN remaster tomorrow? Of course it’s true. You just gotta believe!
>>693274151Just let me fold my tinfoil hat.
>>693262305These threads made me seek out Captain N cartoons and I love their depiction of SimonHe’s such an unrepentant asshole but still a hero at timesI kinda wish we had a canon Belmont that acted like an arrogant dick all the time Maybe Pierre from that Goemon comic would work?
>>693274151No, Parappa, I cannot just believe. It's not that easy. It's never that easy.
>>693274462>He’s such an unrepentant asshole but still a hero at timesMight work for Quincy Morris.
>>693264228I hope they get their tag mode in a PoR sequel one day. They’re cute together even if their relationship is incestuous (according to the book Laura is Carmilla’s descendant in addition to being her girlfriend).
>>693274996Well he is a Texan.
>>693275160Well they are villains in CV usually. PoR has both but they are common enemies for reasons.
>>693275160Maybe someday, I hope.>>693275258I know, right?
finished the dominus collection few days ago, never realised how much bloodstained took from those ds vanias
>>693275535Bloodstained is basically Dawn of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia.
>>693262087>>Retarded anons don't know what the word canon meansI know there's a main canon, and everything else would contradict said timeline, but isn't everything technically canon just in different universes? I thought Harmony of Despair/Judgment kinda implied that.
>>693267543Charlotte, because she clearly needs cock.
>>693275689It's mostly one shitflix anon that says the show is canon to the games.
>>693276112Either a troll or a tranny, just ignore them or hide their posts.
konami thread just ended and a new castlevania thread already here

>>693277378I might.
>>693277378I am
>>693277378I finally got around to getting Dead Cells earlier this month, and I have to win a run before I get to actually play the Castlemania part.Maybe later.
>>693277378oh it's already tomorrow, huh, still have a couple leftover contra missions, should clear those out
>>693277226Just the VS DLC.

>>693279310We don't even know if it will get one, so just play the base game.
>>693279409there have been a few [game] x castlevania colabs recently, which makes me wonder

>>693279465It makes me wonder, too and I really want to believe.
>>693277378>>693277636I only just started the game last week but I'll get it (even though I haven't beaten the final level yet). And yet I've already cleared Stage 1665 and killed a reaper.

Probably not a dick 100% of the time but still a bit more rough around the edges than the other Belmonts.
>>693283242his description stated that he's a man of science and is a recluse/outcast. he wouldnt fit the bill.

>>693288509tomorrow
>>693279310Wait for the obvious remaster
>>693288509what month is it, retard?
>>693289089Castlevania is not a Halloween franchise
>>693289334It's the only Halloween franchise.
Which autist is making these shitty threads every day? There's nothing to discuss, the last mainline game came out in 2008 lmao
>>693266735Been playing a lot of Haunted Castle (Normal) lately. It's tough, especially if you get unlucky with the subweapon and upgrade spawns.
>>693290180the music be banging though. basement melodies is so good.https://youtube.com/watch?v=NbsAdWhF5tc
>>693289334lol why is Kingdom hearts a Halloween franchise?
There's Tragic Prince. I was expecting that one, not Wood Carving Partita so much, but hell, SotN is full of great songs so it's not a bad thing.
>>693279310Finished it yesterday. It's a pretty alright game but I don't get people that have it as their #1.
Dracula X Chronicles my beloved. https://youtu.be/rvB4oxB0TYs?list=PL3Zcuc4qZ3HGk8_2o8MRiPQcMd7nstMVw
>>693292052Well that kills my three uploads a day theory
I never lusted after Shanoa back when I played Order of Ecclesia.Then one of you douchebags posted this.And now I do.
Are Lords of Shadow 1 and 2 + DLCs worth it? They're on sale.
>>693294256For that price, I'd say so.
>>693294212That animator has better animations than that, at least.
>>693293643we still need songs for cristopher and soniamaybe maria too but she might get one of the sotn songs
>>693294256only if you're paid for it
>>693294212>I never lusted after Shanoa backPleb
>>693294212she's asking for it by wearing such a skimpy outfit.
If anon's leak proves to be true, this board is gonna be insufferable for awhile.

>>693286609Put it on all the various store fronts, have cross play, include all the DLC. That's really it.And I dunno... maybe improve the drop rate (or make them drop from more enemies) on Winged/Sonic Boots. But that's really all I can think of.Whatever happened to CVHD Unity anyway? I miss those threads.
>>693297626>Whatever happened to CVHD Unity anyway?I think Konami sent a C&D after it. I know there's a separate project that's doing the same thing but I don't know its name.

Anyone remember the CV challenge rom pack an anon put together? A few years ago I was lucky to grab the 4.0 version before it got taken down again.
>>693286609>How would you bring it back Literally just put it on Steam>but also improve it?Add any other major CV characters not currently in it + stages. If 3 dudes in a basement can do it for Vampire Survivors, so can Konami.
>>693286609Fix the grind for magic users. They only start with like one spell each, and need to spend several runs just kinda doing nothing.

There is no SOTN remaster, one retard said it here without sources and now everyone is parroting it.
>>693316206I thought we were all parroting it because we were making fun of the guy who said it initially.I do think there’s a chance we get a “ultimate edition” rerelease for the games 30th anniversary in 3 years tho.
>>693316147Biggest crime of Legacy of Darkness was removing this title screen.
>>693316206it's joooooke, we're just giga coping
>>693317291It’s how I’m coping. I don’t really believe. But at the same time I’m secretly hoping if I don’t believe in something hard enough God will make it happen just to spite me.
>>693316686>Biggest crime of Legacy of Darkness was removing this title screen.yeah. that was just a downgrade
Does anyone have the fake posts about the SotN Remaster people keep talking about, why the fuck would you want a 3D remake of a game meant to be in 2D?

>>693318851In Dawn he had a in-battle voice line “I shall give you death!” That’s it. In the sequel light novel he did talk to Soma in the beginning.
>>693318851Always thought that was really weird. You'd think if anyone had a vested interest in Dracula's return it would be Death.
>>693261993I literally just finished PoR 5 minutes ago, and with that I'm done with all the handheld Metroidvanias. PoR was probably the most charming of the bunch, but people who pretend any of them hold a candle to SotN or actually outdo it are insane.
>>693323685symphony is brain dead easy and the controls don't feel that tight, all the igavanias that came after it iterated on it and they are good games for it
>>693263226Sounds like shit that only dumb weebs or subhuman yurifags would try to get excited over.
>>693324553Check twitter, all the Castlevania gays and women are excited about it
>>693305943That's not what that image is at all.
>>693320914In-game? Nope
Why does no one play the Castlevania HD game on the PS3 emulator anymore...
>>693324537>symphony is brain dead easyWorthless complaint because most of the "difficult" stuff in the other games is just tedium or annoying hitboxes. Very few fights feel fun to mechanically learn inside and out.>and the controls don't feel that tightAbsolutely fucking wrong.>all the igavanias that came after it iterated on it They took massive steps back in level design and progression and instead decided to slap on a grindy mechanic.

>>693325119order of ecclesia and portrait have genuine hard modes and they are very fun to learn and play, they actually make you appreciate the boss fights more, that's one thing where the portable games beat symphony
>>693325345You sound very gay.
>>693325775>order of ecclesia and portrait have genuine hard modesHard modes that unlock after a game is beaten once and are just stat bloat aren't fun.
>>693325986there are no stat bloats in those games, they should be unlockable from the start though
>>693308057Yeah it's great. Has the original Rondo and a new version of SOTN with a different take on Maria than the Saturn version.
>>693326321>there are no stat bloats in those games,What's the difference between normal and hard mode?
>>693326389Is there a trick to getting the original Rondo running on PPSSPP besides slowing down the UMD loading that breaks cutscenes? I was having trouble with it.>a different take on Maria than the Saturn version.I heard they nerfed the shit out of her.
>>693326604>Is there a trick to getting the original Rondo running on PPSSPP besides slowing down the UMD loading that breaks cutscenes? I was having trouble with it.I don't think so, PPSSPP is basically emulating a game inside an emulator and it makes it run a bit weird. Here's a prepatched translated Rondo ROM to save yourself some trouble if you feel like playing the original.https://www.mediafire.com/file/6o2ypw33rcvnh1q/Castlevania_Rondo_of_Blood_English.zip/file>I heard they nerfed the shit out of her.Maria is basically a new character in the DxC version of SOTN. She plays closer to her Rondo self. With Saturn she shoots out lasers and shit so you can pick your poison on which one you prefer cause you'll get different expereinces with each.
>>693327469>and it makes it run a bit weirdOh well. I'll deal with it and hope that they release Rondo and SotN on Steam.>Here's a prepatched translated Rondo ROMI play in moon so I use jp ROMs. I tried emulating the original once but I don't know if the CD engine needs bios files or some special configuration stuff like some console emulation does.
>>693326431you set a level cap on yourself with the hardest mode being level 1
>>693328483So there's literally no change except stat tweaking.
>>693325547Oh they gave Awake a number for the OST finally. It's 36. That means there's at least 4 more songs to be revealed tomorrow: 7, 12, 22, and 35.22 is probably Sarabande of Healing (the song is listed on the Steam page by name, and that'd be between Baljhet Mountains and Eneomaos Machine Tower which is also where it falls on the Curse of Darkness OST.12 is probably a Dawn of Sorrow song? It's between Pitch Black Intrusion and Amber Scenery.7 and 35 could potentially be anything. Cristopher Belmont and Sonia Belmont still don't have dedicated themes. It'd be kinda lame, but Sonia could always use Bloody Tears since it's Stage 1 of Legends and Simon already has his theme anyway.
>>693329051do all the games have something now?
>>693329051the remixes are 70% unmitigated ass so i'm not terribly excited
>>693266735I finally beat Ecclesia's lv1 hard mode the other day, and I won't be home tomorrow, so i spent all day playing Harmony of Despair. Got good drops. Feels good bros
>>693328818yeah, there are enemy changes among other things
>>693329516>there are enemy changesPlacement or behaviors?
>>693329051Battle of the Holy would be a glaring omission both because it's the one Christopher song people even know and because this soundtrack even included a cut song. I'm also expecting Crucifix Held Close as far as what else feels "absent"
>>693329261None of the Gameboy classic games do of their non-shared songs yet.The 64 games don't have any non-shared songs yet.Nothing unique from the Lords of Shadow games or the mobile games.Rondo of Blood technically doesn't have any unique songs yet, but Bloodlines Bequeathed is the latest remix of Divine Bloodlines in Portrait of Ruin.Haunted Castle kinda sorta has the Can't Wait Until the Night part of Heart of Fire.All the rest have at least one representation.
>>693329880Needs Charlotte's theme song "Grab Them Cakes"
>>693329880>None of the Gameboy classic games do of their non-shared songs yet.>The 64 games don't have any non-shared songs yet.those two are the most disappointing. one song is the least they can do

>>693332936he never mentions it
So in the Castlevania universe all major religions are valid but Jungian psychology is the most valid, right?
>>693324943Yes, it is. What else would Maria be seething? Tell us your interpretation.
>>693333510Anon can you even fucking read Japanese?
>>693324704>gays and womenSo, the main audience for stage plays?
>>693333574I can and I know that joke because I saw it many times in 4komas. What is your interpretation?
>>693333704>and I know that jokeWhat joke? She's saying her line from the game when you hold up to make her dance and Maria is calling her dumb. お前は本当に読めるか?
>>693333804I know it's from the game, but why do you think Maria is annoyed? Their ages are there so you know it's because she's provoking her for being younger. もっとマンガを読もう
>>693334051>もっとマンガを読もうThis is some broken "I just started studying and can kind of fumble my way through some manga and pretend I understand it all" Japanese. Maria's annoyed because she's acting like a dumb slut. It's not an age joke, and I've read more manga than you ever will.
Alright, it's the 31st in Japan and no announcement.
>>693334616there's still time. don't stop believing.
>>693334876This. I don't expect an announcement until after the VS DLC drops anyway.
A remake/remaster of SOTN sounds pretty boring anyway.
In Castlevania the ultimate enemy is Chaos, which just represents the dark side of humanity's collective unconscious. Belief dictates reality basically. If we don't get an announcement of a SOTN remaster or an entirely new game tomorrow it's because we didn't believe hard enough. For the sake of Castlevania's future you gotta believe!
>>693335673a lot of the 2d castlevanias really don't need a remake
>>693335673The only "complete" version is on PSP and people just want it on Steam.>>693335745No that's gay and Soma's games are gay. It's Dracula.
>>693264246https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhuhvQ2kQDo
>>693335826None of them do, really. In theory you could turn Simon's Quest into something fun, but it would require so much revision it would effectively be a new game. I'd rather have Castlevania V (so to speak).
This game is fucking weird. Amazing music but I eventually run up against a wall and have to turn to a guide that says I need to backtrack and grind for certain cards in order to progress through bullshit areas, make a little progress on my own, and reluctantly bring up the guide again. Currently fighting Death and I swear to god I do not want to backtrack for whatever DSS combo I need to deal with him.
>>693261993what collection should I play tomorrow, dominus or advance
>>693298615>Anyone tried this?Yes, the fishman spawns are random at the first bridge and every boss just walks at you nonstop. Not worth it.
>>693335745>In Castlevania the ultimate enemy is Chaos, which just represents the dark side of humanity's collective unconscious.
>>693336040lmao, you don't HAVE to, they might help but the game is enterily beatable without the cards (as far as I can remember).also there is easy to perform glitch you can use to use all cards on command without getting the drops first
>>693335990the nintendo 64 castlevania, the gameboy castlevanias and i guess Simon's Quest are the ones that would benefit the most from a remakeAt least one of the gameboy games got it
>>693336123real men play anniversary
>>693336389The Adventure ReBirth barely borrows anything from The Adventure. It has about as much in common with The Adventure as IV does with the original. It just used The Adventure toworm its way into the timeline.
>>693336561I already did
>>693335673it's too early to cope. we'll say this if the announcement doesn't drop.
>>693336590the strangest thing is.. it did not even have the original's main theme
>>693336040I remember just needing to spam crosses. But that was pretty much my strategy for every boss until I got the completely broken summon ability.
>>693336640Even if it does drop I'll feel the same way. A decent port to all platforms would be nice (even more so if it included X6000 and ReBirth), but it's not like it's a difficult game to play.
>>693266735vampire survivors
>>693325002who is far right?
>>693336590If they do ever make a follow up (kek) I hope they keep Belmont's Revenge's Megaman-esque select a castle gimmick. Maybe add a few more castles though.
>>693261993OOE is better than any game in the series except Aria of Sorrow and Symphony of the Night
>>693336639then 1CC them blindfolded.
>>693336897Cinnamon Roll aka Canela aka Aradia from a doujin h-game called Night of Revenge
>>693336743it was supposed to, for some bizarre reason they cut ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqlgBf4UUk4
>>693336590Does it matter?Belmont whips Dracula's stupid face.That's it, that's the plot.
>>693336590>The Adventure ReBirth barely borrows anything from The Adventure.thank fucking God, that's why it's actually playable
>>693336969nahh, not with those copy pasted hallways, but it is a good game
The only remake I'll accept is of Castlevania 64 to realize the potential it came out too early to meet.
>>693337382No. My point is that The Adventure didn't really get a remake. ReBirth is just a new game.
>>693337820Isn't that the point?
SOTN remaster or Charlotte pits, if you could have only one which one would you choose?
Forgot pic
>>693339061are you joking? SOTN remaster all the way.
>>693339061I'll take the game, because Charlotte doesn't exist.
>>693339061Charlotte pits, already played SOTN way too many times and im kind of tired of Alucard by now
>western localization improves the character Agree?
Can’t we just get a Castlevania game based off the Demon Castle War?
>>693339649I wish this artist had devoted all of his artistic efforts to glorifying Charlotte. The few pics he did are almost too beautiful to jerk to.
31st on the east coast, any announcements yet?
>>693261993https://youtube.com/watch?v=5sSETDuHcjgthis romhack is wild. they've even added diagonal whipping in SoTN.
>>693339896I like the Momo they drew.
>>693341254if nothing drops within 12 hours from now, it would all be nothing but a big ruse.
>>693341549Momo doesn't get nearly enough love. If she were real I would do XXXX and XXXX to her.
I'm pretty sure we're not getting that SotN remaster announcement.
>>693343164yea pffft it's not like anybody wanted a remaster of SoTN anyway *sobs*
>>693343428All I want are some minor QOL changes and the Saturn content.
>>693343164That anon was just fucking with everyone.
>>693343565such a troll. we aren't getting shit.
>>693343565He did say we would remember his post. Reminder that hope was sitting at the bottom of Pandora’s box because it’s the most insidious of all the evils that plague mankind.
>>693261993TEMPTATION
>>693344219>because it’s the most insidious of all the evils that plague mankindyou got it all wrong. Hope was the actual treasure which was hidden beneath all the evil. It implies that the evil that was released would be nothing when you have hope.
>>693344450Trust me, I want to believe, but I'm pretty burnt out at this point. If ever, a Dracula's Curse remake seems more likely.
>>693344004We might not be getting shit but I hope he gets his shit pushed in by a pack of feral, HPV infected n-words. Then I hope he’s too embarrassed to seek treatment for the horrific clusters of warts that cover his anus and they become cancerous. Finally I hope he suffers a slow, agonizing death from anal cancer like Farrah Fawcett.
>>693261993How does Stella mog her sister so fucking bad?
>>693344625Don't let him get to you. It's all part of the game.
>>693344914Loretta’s tits are just as big, they’re just taped down and covered!
We are getting kino tomorrow my friends, do not despair for there is no Harmony in that.
>>693266735bloodstained lmaobut i also want to try symphony of the night and complete it for real this time, should i just emulate the og one or is there a better version out there?
>>693343565>>693344004>>693344219remember that it's always darkest before the dawn. here have some motivation https://youtube.com/watch?v=-nSa5-Beb9E
>>693345297>>693345515Ok, what is this?
>>693339741why did he get such a drastic redesign for portrait of ruin
>>693318659His presence in Aria made a little sense, but what was he even doing in Dawn? Did Celia just ask him to show up and he had nothing better to do?
>>693343565Did you guys really believe what he said? Did he post any evidence or source?
>>693345761the castlevania DLC for vampire survivors.
>>693345978that comes out on the 31st of this monthwhich in some time zones is today
>>693345924No one really believed, but I'm guessing a lot of us secretly hoped. I sure did.
>>693320206but he does talk to him on a sequel novel, asking him to become dracula, soma says "nyo" and death is chill about it since he can just wait for someone else to try to take the mantle, death is immortal and soma isn't.
>>693345761Where you been homie?https://youtu.be/aGAlK-DIeAE?si=hWXaH_Y74BZWPNBh
>>693345803And his judgement redesign was also wild.Man went from femboy, to chad, to shota
>>693346023yes, but it's not 31st yet in the west coast.
>>693345515I believe we'll get something someday, just not today.>>693345924I wanted to but didn't.
Definitive Belmont Ranking1. Simon2. Ralph3. Julius4. Christopher5. Sepia6. Richter7. Juste8. Soleil9. Sonia10. Pierre11. Kokoro12. Dolores13. Zoe14. Desmond15. Richter
>>693346485>Richter twiceAre you separating Rondo Richter from X Richter?
>>693346156Can anyone become Dracula or does he have to wait for Soma to die so his soul transmigrates to a new body?
>>693346536Oops! That's supposed to be Victor, the Belmont so shit his game was canceled halfway through production.
>>693346643Ah, I see then.
>>693346485>RalphShit name. Trevor.
>>693346585uhhh it was a brief talk since the book focuses on other two vampire hunters that went to investigate the appearance of a "castle", i suppose soma does need to die for a new dracula to happen, shame well never ever see that though
>>693346838Maybe if Castlevania chooses to copy Vampire Hunter D again and have Alucard fight the new Dracula during Galamoth's time period.
>>693346909>Maybe if Castlevania chooses to copy Vampire Hunter D againIt baffles me how many people don't know that D was the inspiration for Alucard's redesign.
>>693346643there's a Viktor Belmont in LoS 2. He isn't that powerful.
>>693346157>>693345978Huh. Not a big fan of that genre, but alright, that's neat. Interesting that Konami allowed it.
>>693346724Ralph and all its cognates, especially Raoul, are based and redpilled. Trevor on the other hand is name given only to ponces and nonces.
V Rising
>>693347172>t. Raoul, Lord of Fellatio
>>693347017Don't know if it's true or not but I remember reading years ago that the entire series was inspired by this particular scene from the 1985 anime.I've also read that the most of the 1st game's dev's claim they drew no inspiration from D whatsoever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3yO0KzPWP0
>>693347172actually all the Belmonts are named after saints and Trevor is the only one who isn't. Ralph would be better name because it would not break that trend.
>>693347489I think it was only during IGA's tenure over the franchise that D became the inspiration for Alucard.
>>693347372>t. Trevor, king of the service station toilet
I want a Curse of Darkness remaster/rerelease just to fuck with zoomers. I'm not delusional enough to believe it will get a remake.
>>693347569Sonia had to be inspired by the heroine of the 80's anime
>>693347791It's too obvious not to be true.
>>693347517>actually all the Belmonts are named after saints and Trevor is the only one who isn't....no.
>>693347697>just to fuck with zoomers.Why would that fuck with zoomers? Almost nobody gives a fuck about CoD either way, and for good reason.
>>693347845what you haven't heard of saint Ritcher? or saint Simon? you call yourself a Christian?
>>693347697I want an entirely new game with the devil forger mechanic, something with environments that aren't just a series of mostly boring corridors. I'd be fine with just a remaster of CoD though. I believe (hope) the next collection we get will be the 3D games.
This game really had a typo less than 5 minutes in?
>>693347697>I'm not delusional enough to believe it will get a remake.Yes, you are. It's a horrible game. All of the 3D castlevanias are.
>>693347972Honestly, I agree.
>Vampire SurvivorsI just watched a video essay about why it's so enjoyable despite looking like jank and honestly I can appreciate the game a lot more now, yeah. I still won't play it, but I can respect it.
>>693263214
>>693348224>I just watched a video essay instead of playing itok zoomer
>>693348261I wasn't going to play it anyway so what else do I do to get a QRD of the game?
>>693264039>WOO>YEAH>WOO>YEAH
I wish we knew what the intended plot was of the aborted 3D Alucard gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5cANFk2FRE
>>693348289you watch a gameplay video of it and formulate your own thoughts about it, retard.
>>693348313I like to think it was the 1999 game only with Alucard being the first character revealed to ride on the hype of Judgment, Dracula X Chronicles and the radio drama.
>>693348479I think they were building up to it before the decision to reboot. Kinda crazy how IGA got the shaft only for Bloodstained to end up outselling Lords of Shadow.
>>693348313I remember Troy Baker saying he was involved before it got cancelled.
>>693348465But that doesn't actually tell you what people think of it. I already saw the gameplay anyway.If people liked a game then a video essay or review will tell you that. If you can't judge the objective quality of an argument and the information presented then that's your fault.
>>693348707Do you think the Lecardes are descended from Alucard and Maria? There's the name, the Alucard spear being a Lecarde family heirloom, the Lecarde family crest having a dragon on it, the piece of PoR art featuring both Eric and Alucard, and that mysterious redacted bit about the Lecardes' ancestry in the infamous EGM fax. I think there's a lot of circumstantial evidence pointing to yes, but I'm still not entirely sure.
>>693348894>If you can't judge the objective quality of an argument and the information presented then that's your fault.anyone with half a brain could surmise the kind of game it is by watching the gameplay through inductive reasoning. why do you really need another person's perspective to judge a game ? isn't it because it is easier for you to simply consume what's being said rather than thinking for yourself?
>>693349195I think it's possible, but we probably won't get an answer now.
>>693349195>>693349373Maybe if IGA gives us an unofficial interview, but I doubt it would be considered canon.
>>693339741Honestly yeah. I get the bishonen look they were going for, but I don't think it translated well to pixel art. The localized version keeps the spirit of it intact, but he doesn't look so weird anymore.
Happy Halloween, vampire killers. May it be filled with candy and scares. Don’t let bullshit artists and trolls keep you from having a spooky day.
>>693349927Was she really Dracula’s niece? Just Medusa in disguise?
>>693346485>richter>6kys
>>693350035I always figured Elizabeth Bartley was a play on Elizabeth Bathory who irl was apparently distantly related to Vlad Tepes in some way. I don't see why she wouldn't be related to him desu
>>693349945Thanks, friend. I'm saving finishing the Chaotic Realm in Aria of Sorrow for tonight. It's my 4th playthrough and it still hasn't gotten old.
>>693349195That would mean Eric and his daughters have some vampire blood from Alucard, no? Wouldn't that have made the sisters resistant to Brauner?
>>693350183Probably, but it might be pretty diluted after several generations. It just occurred to me they might be instrumental in unlocking the power of the Vampire Killer because it reacts to their Dracula DNA.Assuming they have Dracula DNA of course.
>>693349315>why do you really need another person's perspective to judge a gameNever explicitly said that was the goal, so you assume wrong. Judging the game itself is only part of understanding the body of the information that's related to it. That's what I meant by QRD. What people think of the game, then maybe why they think those things, and even perhaps the relevant development details of the game, they're interesting pieces of information to know, if it really is a game that people seem to find worthy of mentioning as this thread seems to.Though there's also the fact that a short gameplay video doesn't show you the entirety of a game so you could just miss shit that would've otherwise been mentioned and shown off in reviews. Maybe things would be different if gameplay video culture made standard compilation videos that just cut to the best parts of a game.
>>693261993*Ahem* FUCK SATAN. that is all.
Did the VS DLC drop yet?
>>693351170In 3 hours
>>693351224Cool.
>>693351170Soon and it's all we're getting.
>>693351907It would only make sense that announcements if any would be after the dlc launch. konami wouldn't want it to be overshadowed by the reveal.
>>693352005That's true, and so far what's coming out in the future are the chink gacha game and the musical. I hope they both lead into something more substantial.
Isn't it weird that Konami's doing everything to remind us that Castlevania's still a thing except revealing a new game? I'm sure something's in the works, but I'm both autistic and impatient.
>>693352130Yeah honestly its kinda aggravating. Even a slight hint that something is in the works would be nice. All of these crossovers are cool and all, but every time they announce some other weird project like the stage play or that shitty show it feels like they're just blowing smoke up our ass. If they're feeling out interest in the series I don't know how much more proof they need to see people want another game.
>>693352509Tell me about it. It feels like being blue balled to be honest and that reliable leaker that leaked the new Silent Hill and Metal Gear games mentioned a new Castlevania game in development, so you think they'd give us a logo reveal at the very least. Haunted Castle Revisited was a surprise, though.
>>693352005>>693352086we're honestly reaching levels of copium in this thread, never before thought possible.
>>693352831Yeah, it's pretty unhealthy, but I can't help it at this point.
>>693352831Keked.
>>693352831I'm pretty sure we're not getting anything to be honest. I want to believe, but I'm sure we're just being fucked with.
>>693352831I hope they atleast reveal the poster of the Castlevania musical lol.
>>693353035I hope it has good art aside from the actresses themselves.
>>693352990I'll remember that post all right.
>>693352831It hurts, honestly.
Anyone buying Vampire Survivors just for the DLC?
It's odd that the first time we got a design for CVs Quincey Morris was for a collab.
>>693355563It's also odd that they're using the chink gacha game designs for Olrox and Galamoth.
>>693355591>chink gacha game designs for OlroxBetter this than the shitflix version.
>>693355648All the collaborations never even acknowledge shitflix.
>>693355591>chink gacha gameIt's crazy how development resumed after years on ice. I don't know how I feel about Castlevania Genshin, though.
Happy Halloween, motherfuckers.
I bought the Dominus Collection even though I have a functioning 3DS and all 3 DS games because I'm an idiot and an autist. I hope Haunted Castle Revisited is fun, though.
>>693355958>I don't know how I feel about Castlevania Genshin, though.If the official mobile game flopped, I don't think a bootleg gacha version of it would do any better.

>>693357147>Add a headbopin' rhythm to a HoD song>Suddenly becomes 1000% kino Yeah I listened to that one last night and it was one of my favorite tracks they did, there were a few I thought sounded good but not really special but that one sealed the deal on the crossover being worth it.
