Castlemania 64 is cool
and it's CastleKINO!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely kino game. I especially love how the devs used the available tech to fully implement all the horror elements the franchise is known for, whereas SOTN really doesn't do anything with them.
>>723269819>Castlemania 64which one?
>>723269819I have yet to play it, but it looks kino
>>723269819Why is it so expensive if it sucks so bad the AVGN reviewed it?
>>723270124both desu
>>723269819>>723270005I prefer Coolslevania
CV64 is flawed but experimental and thus has value. LOD fixes some of the issues as well. It has some great aspects. I don't know if people who didn't experience it in its historical context could like it. But it's definitely a game worth preserving.
there's not a single good 3D castlevania gamein fact there's not a single good castlevania game post rondo of bloodif you want to play a good 3D platformers you play tomb raiderif you want to play a good 3D horror game you play resident evil or silent hillif you want to play a good 3D horror platformer you play soul reaver or shadowman
>>723271107Tomb Raider and RE have worse controls: tank controls.And I played Shadowman and I'd certainly rather play CV64.
>>723271107>there's not a single good 3D castlevania gameFUCK YOUand the night.
>>723269819I remember getting scared by the Giant Skeleton boss in the beginning. good times!
>>723271107Video game genre names are marketing tools with next to no meaning for the player. Tomb Raider and Spyro the Dragon can both very well be called 3D platformers, but they have nothing in common. The way of thinking where you only accept the perceived top experience in an arbitrary category is exactly what people call Reddit
>>723270005Holy kino. Maybe I should check this game out
>>72327012464 for Reinhardt and CarrieLoD for Cornel. Henry part is pretty crap but fun to play tvo.
>>723269819She cute
>>723271412Genres are just categorical tools because we as humans have an innate desire to organize everything. When a genre isn't detailed enough a subgenre is used. If I called spyro a scrimblo game or collectathon you are immediately able to differentiate it from tomb raider.
>>723270124Legacy of Darkness is overall the better game
>>723272129Hybrid Heaven kino.

>>723269819Reminder that you can unlock all characters at the start of Legacy of Darkness:https://youtu.be/tuSrIVKMU-s?si=j7rQCdYd5v9nN4u7&t=66
holy SOVL
>>723270124>>723270774>>723271652>>723272129LoD has everything but they changed the design of a few levels, if it's for better or worse it's your call. It removed the voice acting for Reinhardt and Carrie stories, though the real crime was removing the kino title screen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kekitaCO6WkOverall, LoD is the recommended one but fans might want to check 64 for the small differences.
I'm surprised that's there is no fan art of the characters.
>>723275238There is or was some around, mostly on fan sites of the early 00s and forums and such. No idea how much of it survives though as it seems like the internet lost that part of itself with the corporatization of the internet that came later.I know old gaming mags like Expert Gamer also had fan art for the characters published in them back in when the game was out
>>723275238Carrie has a small following on Pixiv but that's it.By the way this game's character designer was Umetsu, from Mezzo Forte and Kite.
>>723272129I was gonna play it as I liked 64 enough then I found out a lot of the levels are recycled
>>723275238Carrie has quite a bit.reinhardt and werewolf guy...not so much
>>723269819while the castlevania 64 games had their flaws , i do wish they would have taken it more as an example for future 3D castlevania games to build on
You've got to play Castlevania 64 first, there are differences in camera and levels, not much but enough that it changes things and not only that but LoD removed spoken dialogue in a few places, it adds in others but still.Play CV64 first then the extra content for LoD.
>>723271851I guess most games are RPG then because (you) are taking the role of a character in a fictional setting.
>>723277310Didn't she get married in the game? Also surprised that there's no porn.>>723277541Is this the one where you turned evil if you take to long?
>>723277541Remilia colors?
>>723277915No, it's a bonus outfit for Carrie that is basically Maria's from Rondo of Blood.
>>723274391
>>723277691drac really wanted to marry Carrie
>>723278119
>>723277691>Is this the one where you turned evil if you take to long?if you take too long to get to the castle keep, Charlie Vincent arrives there first and gets turned into a vampire. then you have to fight him, and you're locked into the bad ending since he's the one who douses Malus in holy water, resulting in Dracula's final form
>>723270005Totally based, how can Symphony of the Night even compete?
>>723278119>>723278325What a coincidence desu
>>723278471>how can Symphony of the Night even compete?It can't.
>>723277691>>723278348you can turn into a vampire when bitten though
>>723269819It's not a good game, but it's still one of my favorites.
>>723278714oh right, that's true. I always used a purifying immediately so I never saw what ends up happening
Based 3d Castlevania enjoyers. Hating them is a zoomer opinion. You werent there when they came out, you know nothing. Everyone loved those games back then. Especially Lament of Innocence.
>>723279027>Lament of Innocenceanyone hating on Lament deserves this response and nothing more
>>723278949How old is she?
>>723279162Old enough for vampire hunting.
>>723278949we never got bigger art for the blue carrie outfit
>>723279027>>723279128>Lament of InnocenceThat game is pretty bad be real
>>723275049>though the real crime was removing the kino title screen.that was the moment on Malus's 8th birthday when Dracula awakened inside of him, making that scene ultra-kino
i love the 64 games character designs too>>72327916212
>>723269819Anyone knows how far the decomp process currently is?
>>723279425is there one?
>>723275049I recommend playing LoD first, then coming back to the other if you want to see differences
>>723271251I too just watched the A Skeleton review.
>>723279552Yup, I vaguely recall being mentioned a while ago but seems that the team has gone underground after Konami showed signs of life
>>723279409>12Nice :)
>>723279789weird reason. i can't see Konami giving even the slightest of shit about it unless a collection is actually happening
>>723279409ZAMN!
>>723278150Never understood why she turn him down.
>>723278714>>723278325>>723278150Officially my latina bride
>>723279409Correction!
>>723280271She didn't.
>>723279274>pretty badDMC2 (3D equivalent of Zelda II/Simon quest)
>>723280271in the bad ending. she does at first but he insists and she accepts if he grows strong and protects her
>>723280340kek, what is the context here?
>>723280340wrong company ,anon
I still believe both games have a decent chance to be added to switch online expansion pack.
>>723280427It's the bad ending so she became one of his vampire sluts.
>>723280427Silent Hill f writing claim it is """bad ending"""
>>723280497Who cares!!
>>723280508Nice try but he's not a vampire.
>>723280497If they do, it's the proof that Konami doesn't care for a collection with them. They would have to build their own N64 emulator or recompile the whole game anyway so adding it to NSO seems to be the easy way.
>>723280491Right? Same company did SH vita and new Contra games?
>>723280559That's something only a weak vampire hunter that gets bad endings would say.
>>723280524he is reincarnated dracula. not exactly the same
>>723280497I think LoD added in switch online while CV64 get remastered collection
>>723280705Exactly, the og Soma.
>>723280497old LoD page was still on nintendo's website
>>723272129>they changed his name from Schneider Belmont to Reinhardt Schneider because someone pointed out that "Schneider" isn't really a first nameMeanwhile you've got Richter and Juste Belmont...
>>723269819My favorite 5th gen vania.
>>723280783accept.. embracing the chaos. bad ending Soma i guess
>>723280508don't know. Drac tends to care at least for his wives
>>723280538Me.>>723280604That's why I believe they could be added, Konami probably thinks those are bad games and not worth of a remaster/collection so better throw them to NSO.
I'm happy people are awakening to Castlevania 64; I've been telling niggas for years that its criminally underrated.
>>7232808293d collection coming soon, confirmed! we won!
>>723280875konami themselves made fun of that
Got filtered by that gladiator training room with werewolves everywhere and traps but I have never owned a N64 controller with a stick that could go forward, always had to adjust the camera and jump toward it whic makes it harder
>>723281192
>>723281149I just always gauged remembered the avgn video and him shitting on it but I played it recently myself and thought the game was pretty ok. The game lacks good music except for the title screen bloodlines and the whole blasting walls part of the game is ass but I somewhat liked the rest of it, I even did two play throughs, once as each character.I really wish avgn got past that part as it would've told him to fuck off for playing on easy mode and he would have to redo it all on normal.
>>723281417>I just always gauged rememberedI have no idea what kind of stroke I had here, ignore it lol
>>723281149Blame AVGN and Jontron.
>>723280292
>>723269819Unironically great games, shame people bash on them because angry gamer guy did the same thing he does for every game while they never bothered to play themselves. Similar case as DK64.
>>723281617People hate DK64? When I was a kid everyone was playing it.
>>723281649A lot of N64 games have been getting tons of flak even if they're good these past years.
>>723281590During bedtime.
>>723281617These games always felt like the prime example of something that looks sick as hell and yet everyone shits on relentlessly for dubious reasons.
>>723280427Carrie can fixed him.
I thought the controls were awful.
>>723269819I thought it was the coolest thing ever that you could fight the shopkeeper.
>>723282478Nothing dubious about its camera being bad even for the time.
>>723282946N64 controller was Xbox duke prototype
>>723282478The games have some great stuff in them, but they're awkward to play and give a bad first impression. It's no wonder at all they're not universally liked
>>723281149I always liked it. I bought it on a whim at a flea market for $1 a decade or so ago and had a blast with it. It's easily in my top 5 CV games.
>>723270616It's funny to think about the difference between killing biker skeletons in this game and SMT Nocturne
>>723270616Ghost Riders
Someone should remake/demake this game into a Classicvania or Metroidvania. Would be fun.
I agree they're cool, but not my thing. I don't think RE style "flip the switch" "put the item here" progression was the way. And I don't think there's any getting around that you simply learn to tolerate the camera. Combat and encounters are about what I'd want from the series in 3D though. I like the whip doing clean single hits instead of the devil may run up on a nigga shit every other game tried.
>>723282946They were bad, but nothing you can't get used to. As the cool kids these days say, it's "clunky".
>>723284252M2's next project
>>723269819I remember my cousin playing this as a kid a long time ago, and he was complaining that Reinhardt was bad at jumping
>>723284889Sounds like your cousin was bad at jumping.
>>723270616
>>723278714https://files.catbox.moe/isvj21.webm
>>723286404ToT - she turning?!
>>723284252Better idea than nu-RE4/SH2
You now remember the part where you had to take that fuel thing that make you explode if you jumped.
Holy cross!
>>723288074Go back to balding, James.
>>723288469What?My boomer ass played it CV64 when it was brand new on an 64, just saying that section kind of sucked.
>>723288074>>723288469>>723288545It is indefensibly the worst part of the game.James was retarded yes but it still sucks ass.
>>723270005>This is the rage of all humanityHas the same vibe as "The Belmont clan with hunt the night", I love it.
I cant believe that when I did that request on a /v/ draw thread of an anon that asked Carrie as a vampire I was playing into his fetishes.This is so cringe bro.But at least it was based on the game, which I guess its cool since it seems he played it.
>>723278150Does this make Dracula a pedophile?
>>723269819How come Mario 64 has a gorillion mods but c64 has nothing
>>723277691>Also surprised that there's no porn.As if.
>>723269819for some reason ive been brainwashed into thinking ALL 3d castlevanias were trash but then i played curse of darkness and now i think ive been lied to....
Someone could make an eroge featuring Carrie, is all I'm saying.
>>723271652henry mode is open world mode
I started Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 today. Good shit, but I thought Zangetsu gets sword combos. Do I unlock them later in the game?
>>723291469Bad reputation thanks to eceleb shutting on it, like spoony and Final Fantasy 8But also Mario 64 is just a perfect game for romhacks
Can you actually soft lock yourself in this game or was James being a retard?
>>723293880the latter
>>723277310>>723275818I guess she has a fan-art boost by virtue of being a young girl. I think it's safe to say Rondo Maria has more fanart than SotN Maria, despite SotN being orders of magnitude more popular than Rondo
>>723293736later, as well as subweapon upgradesthe game is designed explicitly around multiple playthroughs, but not like with multiple endings of 1, closer to a couple of NG+ runs
