My 2026 and 2027 GOTY, respectively.
>>748919784Belmont's Curse turned out mid as fuck.
>>748920210mid in a way that makes it better or worse than that new Silent Hill game?
>>748920210>turned outIt ain't out, period. Dipshit.
>>748920210...still better than the game this board loves so much
>>748919784Konami is in a mid steak lately, out Capcoms reach...
>>748920375The nigger one? Didn't even bother looking at it for more than two seconds.
>>748920469The demo is though, retard-kun.
>>748920375silent hill n > f still shit but it's an improvement>>748920506tag force remake is cool shit
>>748920469Demo tells you all you need to know. I'm not even that anon. Huge Castlevania fan. This isn't it. I've been around since the first games came out.
Why can't they just let Iga come home?
>>748920210We only have a 30 min demo so far, it could be better than mid
>>748920707But as opposite to the mercurysteam stuff my heart recognized it immediately as a castlevania even though I hate that the devs are frogs and not the japs. Since 2013 I've played all the games except 3. Even legends and belmont's revenge.
>>748920779i think the problem is iga would want complete control over the series, he was the producer not a simple employee
>>748920779They need new blood in charge but they don't have talent of their own and don't want anyone getting too big for their britches anyway, so they license it out to indie hacks in Europe or wherever.
>>748921125>iga would want complete control over the seriesI fail to see the problem here
>>748921038maybe the demo is one boss fight with one move set(sword) and we know other weapons exist that give diffrent ones.but i doubt the full game will have a different aesthetic or soundtrack than the demo
>>748921497>one move set(sword)You didn't beat the demo.
The demo was...okay. I think it goes too hard on the presentation, like it's too flashy and there's too much dialogue. Every goddamn menu you trudge through feels like it's trying to be some kind of event. The actual gameplay is alright but I dunno about this one.
>>748919784I liked Well Dweller more than the demo. I liked Mina more than Well Dweller.
>>748921681So a Cestus as well that's in secret
>>748921681>many secret areasHow many are there?
>>748921061>except 3now the best time to do ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqOh-2gFRwc
>>748922630Only one. But I think you could find something if you went back to the very beginning using cheats.
>>748922630there is the illusion ceiling that leads to the cestus, an exp statue hidden in a wall when you exit from the sewers and before you go to the bridge, then on the bridge another exp statue apparently unreachable is actually reachable by spamming the arcana whip while falling.and supposedly, it's possible to climb the well back in the starting area, where a miniboss awaits, but i haven't been able to find a way to do it
>>748923798there's also this shit, idk how to reach this either and i played the demo 2 hours
I enjoy Igavanias myself will we really never see a true, brand new classicvania entry? The Haunted Castle remake was a nice effort but obviously budget as fuck. It's just that with Igavanias I feel like you can find dozens of games that fulfill that niche outside of the Castlevania series, meanwhile there are practically few classicvania clones out there. I feel like the idea of playing for a short 45-90 min but highly replayable action game is seen as unviable to the suits at these companies but this stuff absolutely has an audience who wants more of them.
>>748920594>The demo is though, retard-kun.Which doesn't tell you how the game as a whole is, RETARD. It's just a taste of gameplay, you utter buffoon, kill yourself.
>>748919784Huh, they got rid of that fuggo Miriam? Might buy then.
>>748924116>It's just a taste of gameplayAnd it was enough to confirm the game's shit, so I guess it did its job.
>>748919784>>748920482but this have crap have so many problems....- unity game... stutter every f where- atrocious animation transition :try using flask but dont hold button till end...try mashing dodge and attack alternately... omg how that lookafter beating boss when game ask you to hold R1 to absorb dont hold it till end or just press is .... what a noob made this...try pressing attack during 2n back dodge when you are upside down and in air... booom standingtry using cestus change attack repeatedly ... after 3 one its start to f break canceling mid animation.....cestus randomly teleporting.....shity in spot walking when screen transitionzombies when spawning form ground blocking you (even just a pixel from ground)normal enemys cannot be interrupted when they start attacking ... omg .. you get send flying with weakest hit constant screen darkening with (areas names , and shit).......
>>748924034None of the suits would greenlight it. Best you could hope for would be an indie dev offering to make a short and sweet classicvania for cheap, then hoping its good.
The map shows an outline of the city which doesn't seem that big. There's obviously more beneath the city beyond the catacombs door but I wonder how big the game really is. If the catacombs door is the 1/4, 1/3, or 1/2 mark of the game?
Should've hired Team Ladybug instead of these literal who westoids.
>>748924591this is the ost. you go to the catacombs and beat death, then dracula's castle appears, then notre-dame and whatever the fuck happened to trevor and the bishop, then explore dracula's castle again i think.
>>748924034Migami games is making a new classicvania with multi-whipping. Probably the closest thing you will get.
>>748924965Migami's stuff is metroidvania, not classicvania.
If you enable No Clip/Fly, you can find even more.
>>748925047Their upcoming game is explicitly said to be inspired by Super Castlevania iV.
>>748924965>>748925047f migami and this attention whore igathat shit looks and play even worse then this....
99% of the people did not discover how to continue the demohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0CfQ0Ujz5k&t
From the demo,am assuming the other 2 bosses you beat for the door will also become companions right?Trevor mode would be really cool
>>748925571Previews from a month ago confirmed yes.
Lmaoo i've been laughing at all the obscure shit you can discover in the demo you can definitely tell that this is evil empire's very first metroidvania, funny though
this game is way harder than castlevania and only retards disagree
>>748925778such as?
>>748919784Genuinely more faith in Bloodstained because at least they know how to develop an IgaVania Castlevania.
>>748925496my bad, this is not legit and not possible by normal means
>>748926367oh yeah, holding forward and pressing the slide button for every enemy is so hard...
>>748926367Well yeah, outside of Death without holy water the first Castlevania is not that hard.
>>748926485and you have to be brain damage to ever die in the old games to enemiesi mean you are just a complete retard that thinks difficulty = good so it's useless talking to you, this game being harder doesn't mean it's better
>>748921713i was thinking how much quicker older castlevania titles were at just getting you into the game while playing that demo.i was quite surprised how much fuckin talking there was.
Belmont's Curse plays like a Classic Castlevania action game! I had a blast with the demo!
>>748921425His track record was middling, if we're being honest. He was/is an enthusiastic/prominent personality, though.
Bloodstained looks great.Not playing Wokeslevania though.
>>748925496noob
>>748919784I felt absolutely nothing playing the demo. It was as inoffensive as it was uninteresting.
>>748924965Migami's games are terribly ugly.
>>748927617MAH BOI, this war against humankind is what all true vampires strive for!Tell me there's an Alucard edit for CDI Link.
>>748925047Nah, they started doing Classicvania knock-offs then moved to Metroidvania later with Lecard Chronicles.They have been making games for a very long timeRight now we are >Wallachia - Classicvania with a chick with a bow>Chronicles of the Wolf - Metroidvania>Upcoming game - Classicvania again
>>748923798
Found it!
>>748927256Thanks chatgpt
>>748928331
>>748928275>>Wallachia - Classicvaniait's a run n gun
>>748928325>All that black space under the groundI haven't been keeping up with this title, but does the rest of the game look like that too? Are they really pulling a Metroid Dread and ditching all cross-sectional detail on the background tile layers?
HOLY SHIT!
Game was datamined, you get Alucard's weapons and Brauner and Leon are in it.
>>748919784I was wondering when the shills would wake up. Too bad there's absolutely nothing to praise about it.
>crying about Belmont's CurseIdgaf the best Castlevania has been around for 20 years now
>>748920210I think it's a little better than mid judging from the demo but there have been so many Metroidvanias in the last ten years that it would need to be truly great to stand out.
Belmont's Curse demo was fucking horrible, it's like someone has pulled all modern metroidvanias through a blender and slapped the gayass netflix show art style o top.
>>748925258Are there fucking hollow knight charms in this game too?
>>748920594oh right, because you can totally a tell if a game is GOTY off a demo
>>748929848dumb frogposter
I really don't like the artstyle
>>748925496>english voice actingEw, why are you not playing with Yui Ishikawa's voice?
>>748930789I don't hate it as much as I thought I would but it really just doesn't fit the series as well as previous ones have. Feels sort of like it's trying to look like the netflix show but not quite, I dunno I would have either had it looking like AoS or went all in on the classic european look like in the image in the "thank you for playing" screen at the end of the demo.
You need to have a really strong arm to use a whip and pull yourself like that, and she's walking around sleeveless. Her armpit must attract zombies.
Why does the art style put me in mind of like 2010-era Xbox Live Arcade stuff?
>>748920210Better than ninja Gaiden BLACKED you dumb bitchYeah I brought it up before youPredictable fucking c frazzl u you d
>>748930789I think it looks good... Except on Rose herself. The 2D art is pretty mannish.
>>748932789After playing it more I think the interiors look fine, but I hate the fire effect in the outdoor areas. It's so garish
>>748932490https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFWgrzgj7xQBelmont's Curse wishes it looked this kino
>>748922753I don't think this mod makes it look better
>>748928598cool wallpaper if the UI was removed
Is it actually bad or is the complaint coming from people who expected it to play like a 4th DSvania?
>>748934067you....think ? why every body call you village moron there no difference....kek
>>748934663The demo is free and extremely short man, just see ut for yourself.
>>748919784I played the demo of Belmont's Curse, and while I don't think its as bad as some say, it definitely felt more like an indievania than an igarashi castlevania. I had to rebind the controls because some of the defaults, like for interact and backstep/dodge, were definitely not the same as what the previous entries typically had.
>>748934663I guess? It definitely feels like it's not muh castlevania. Nothing about it felt like an actual castlevania game until I got the cross, and even then that doesn't feel exactly the same
>>748934729what
>>748935241I'll also add that I agree with the people i've seen online shitting on the ost. It is very generic and forgettable, which is very unfortunate.
>>748935452you cannot read too? maybe wipe your glasses
>>748935648>there no difference....kekThere is clearly a difference, that's why I don't understand why you are saying.
>>748933963No one remembers this games exists.
Why does the new Castlevania looks like shitstained and the new shitstained looks like Castlevani?
>>748936432But I do remember...
>>748928757
Mio > Nuvania
>whole thread is one single retard trying to shill the gameThey couldn't even afford jeets... SAD!
who the hell is Mio?
Man I don't know why Konami went with a foreign company with no prior experience with the franchise when their domestic partner M2 (the company that handled all of their ports/collections) and developed CV The Adventure ReBirth was right FUCKING there.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzsNt6t32c4
>>748919784I can't get over how gay belmont's curse turned out. It's like the only point of reference was the shitty jeet cartoon.
>>748934663it doesn't play like classicvania or IGAvania but I liked the demo
>>748919784Konami just needs to make amends and rehire iga so he can start pumping out yearly igavanias like in the gba/ds era.
>>748921038IF the opening stage doesnt have a banger soundtrack then it failed as a Castlevania game, and this games was forgettable junk
>>748929252Idk but I wouldn't be surprised. Konami understands hollowlikes are what sells right now and the best chance for their new castlevanias to not flop is to copy as much from them
>>748919784How woke is it? I heard there were hip hop beats in the game? Any tranny shenanigans? Like a rainbow flag cleverly snuck in or pronoun shit in there?I still won't play it regardless because it has nigflixs fingerprints on it.
>>748934663i like it and i hated the two castlevania games i tried, its a modern metroidvania, so anyone who atually likes the series probably hates it.
>>748919784getting them both
>>748937635They were busy with Night Striker Gear.
>like the cestus because punching fun>replaces the fun whip strike that blasts you through weak enemies with a lame uppercut that kills your momentumdamnI wish the demo had a whip type weapon so I could see how that plays
>>748927617and now ?
>>748940492>Death actually sends her to hell as said in that trailerHuh... kino?
>>748940650she talk with ferryman here
>>748940802Yeah, but the place looks outworldy and she says I need to get up there so I just presumed a fun situation.
>>748940931its fast travel screenvery fun situation - they killed trevor
>>748940492What's wrong with that?
>>748941086we like trevor
>>748941153Yeah, and sacrificing himself to save his kid is a noble end for the man. There's nothing to complain about.
>>748941073Every Castlevania character is dead eventually in the future anyway. And it's not the first time a playable character dies in present time, happened with Eric Lecarde in Portrait of Ruin.
>>748920210>Belmont's Curse turned out mid as fuck.Hardly. The movement was really satisfying. And the visuals and sounds good. The English voices are abysmal though. Don't use them unless you're retarded. Can't wait to play the full game and reach some rooms with some actually challenging enemy combinations or rooms with just more enemies in general.
>>748941357
>>748941357Looks like a Mega Man boss.
>>748939116Mostly just has a ugly protagonist and a very "millennial" sounding script so far.
Good demo
>>748922753wow this look incredible , thx
>>748928757CHARLOTTE!
>>748922753This is the kind of remaster we need. Looks amazing.
>>748940492Why did they make her portrait look like a tranny? It gives off Zarya vibes
Rose better fuck that big dude who is literally me at the end
The fists' whip attack is really fun. You can air combo a whole group if the enemies are grouped together.
>>748939116>ayo diz cazzel be spooky n' shieet, fr fr no cap
>>748928757why did PoR age so well? it wasn't anywhere close to being my favorite metroid-style one when it was new but I always find myself going to that one when I want to replay one of them.
>>748920210It's out? I thought it was just the demo.
>>748921061If you've beaten Chronicles OG mode than you have nothing to fear from 3
>>748928615>One of the skins for Rose is SoniaHuh
Is the game short if 94% of the first location is 16% of the entire game?
>>748919784This guy is vania as fuck!
>>748947987The leotard?
>>748948065To be fair, some Castlevanias had more than 100%.
>>748924965How will they balance the sub weapons with the 8-way whipping?
I'm surprised there was no fast travel.
>>748949959Retard >>748929465
>>748934663I gave it a fair shot with the demo and I didn't really like it. Just try it and see for yourself.
>>748939186>and i hated the two castlevania games i tried,Which games?
>>748934663Its defo something new, so you should try it for yourself with the free demo.
>>748941357Meh, looks like a HP sponge boss artifically inflated to make the fight longer.
brauner why you have a shanoa picture in your workshop? brauner??
>>748941357the boss that filtered journalists and netflixvania fans
>>748951917What’s stopping you from lowering the incoming damage in the settings? The absolute cancer part is that you can't skip the jump puzzles, they’re worse than all the bosses put together.
>>748946804Combination of easy to get back into and very light story. Also one of the first Metroidvania style so it still has that old Castlevania aesthetic
>>748946804Because a dual protagonist metroidvania is a fresh idea even now.
>>748928325what an ugly game
Fuck the Belmont, I want more Morrises.
>hollow knight charms instead of permanent upgrades
>>748941742>The English voices are abysmal though. Don't use them unless you're retarded.
>>748919784hate the artstyle for both, but bloodstained looks more fun.I miss the beautiful art style of older castlevania games
>>748952432I love the dubs for a lot of the older games(not the SOTN redub) but Rose sounds fucking awful in english, everyone else was okay though but it still reminded me of the netflix cartoon's voice acting to a degree which rubs me the wrong way.
>>748952432Anime websiteFuck off
I have never seen the Netflix show beyond season 1!
>>748949229Apparently yes, it gives her a leotard and exposed thighs although i do wonder how shit the proportions are going to be.
>>748952613rose: god willing it's not happening againsypha in the trailer: god gave you another chance rosein netflix they would never speak like this, netflix sypha is a pagan/heretic and hates god for punishing the tower of babel builders, completely subverting the biblical message about hubris
https://x.com/SspicyWonder/status/2106233800535490998Here are the datamined skins, most of them are shit but Sonia one is pretty good
>>748940492why is that dude named Rose?
>>748952925can you only post the sonia one pls
I'm playing Harmony of Dissonance right now and I thought people were joking when saying that the OST sucked but man it really wasn't an overexageration.
>>748952695I saw season 2, big mistake.
>>748952925also is there a grant skin?
>>748952925Except for Sonia's, every skin is a recolor.
they really need to add more skins wtf dead cells had like 300
>>748953156Almost feels like they were making a Sonia game at first but swapped her to this faceless man-face mid-development
>>748953250I kinda understand, since Sonia is kinda lame.
>>748952695i regret watching s2 s3 and 4 to this day
>>748953034To be fair, you have to study music to understand it has the best compositions in the entire series.
>>748952925ok i've seen it long coat + leotard is kinda badass actually
>>748952973you should be happy they dint use her cover art face.....btw whoever draw this should have life ban on drawing womens
>>748953545this game is for netflixvania watchers
>>748924034maybe we'll get lucky and Bloodstained will release a third Curse game eventually. those are probably the closest you'll get to new classicvanias.
i have a question, why does christopher control so fucking well in belmont's revenge? it should be the same movement as the og akamatsu games yet the jump feels so nice and i never fall in pits
>>748953716Katsuya Terada can draw sexy women when he wants to; this isn't an artist issue.>https://characterdesignreferences.com/artist-of-the-week-7/katsuya-terada
>>748953929>can draw sexy women you call this abominations womens?
>>748953986Some of them
>>748953716>>748953986The cover art is fucking awesome; who cares if she looks a little odd here? It's still evocative, you brain-dead coombrain retard
>>748919784Curse of the Moon 3 will be the better game.
>>748953929>>748954017something tell me this was typed by women....ugly fat one .. only them like ugly women drawings

>>748954250with english word you dint understand honey?
>>748954293what's going on with her nippies
terada's art is ok he's just a bit washedbest cover art is pic relatedalso considering pic related and the japanese VA for rose i think she's supposed to barely have 20 years, abby trott is fucking 40 years old
>>748954481>she's supposed to barely have 20 years, abby trott is fucking 40 years oldHence why she is a voice actor? Do you want your Dracula VAs to be 100+ year old wizards?
>>748954543her voice sounds too mature
>>748940492did these retards leave out the whole game in the demo?
>>748954481this looks magnitudes better anyone have hi res of this?
>>748924034>I feel like the idea of playing for a short 45-90 min but highly replayable action game is seen as unviable to the suits at these companies but this stuff absolutely has an audience who wants more of them.While I grew up on 2d side scrollers in the 90s, I absolutely hate replaying games nowadays, even just replaying the exact same (parts of) levels over and over when dying etc., which as far as I understand is not an uncommon sentiment these days. The extremely short play time (especially if you're good at that style of game) also just inherently looks and feels unappealing to many people on a perceived cost per fun ratio. Therefore I absolutely understand why a (especially big) studio wouldn't want to base a game series/franchise around it.That said, even though they're not my cup of tea anymore, I sympathize and also don't like that there's very few if any such games (with actual quality) being made these days.
>>748943807Looks like a true biological XX woman to me. Sems like you're just obsessed with trannies.Sad!
>>748951290Do you want the boss to die in 1 cycle?
>>748954895>wide shoulders and chest>muscular arms>western/japanese hybrid art styleYou must be blind. Many such cases.
>>748920482This would be funny if the new trannyvania weren't closer to HK than the older CV games.
Why was the other thread deleted? Too much samefagging?
As I understand it, farming mobs is pointless now, since they don't drop anything.
>>748953716I mean yeah she's unattractive here, but it looks way less boring than she does in game. Though I am not going to lie and say I don't prefer >>748954481 this over either.
>>748954895ynbaw by the way
>>748953054>>748953545I'm really glad people are seeing that Season 2 was shit.>>748919784Belmont's Curse was always going to have an uphill battle. It needed to do extra work to distance itself from the cartoon. It didn't help with all of the story decisions that the devs made. There is also stuff that isn't necessarily non-canon like Lisa being killed is what "made Dracula evil" but how whitewashing it gets.I'm starting to think that White Isaac was a sacrifice since using Black Isaac is too much of a signal to the fans of the cartoon. The message of the show is unironically evil and I give a lot of leeway to these things. I mean I can tolerate a guro doujin; it is clearly just there to get someone's rocks off.
>>748954481ESLvania.
>>748954974They're just trying to offset Kojima's fagboy parade. It's for parity.
>>748954895NTA but she does kinda look like a twinkhon to me now that I think about it.
>>748919784I hope Alex and Leo get bride and groom outfits
>>748956263>NTA but she does kinda look like a twinkhonJust like Mama Kojima used to make in the old country.
>>748950938New for castlevania maybe. As a game it's about as generic as indie metroidvanias get these days
>>748956293Did they confirm visible armors or its just for the class system?
>>748920482Belmont's Curse is more concerned about ripping off Hollow Knight specifically than being an actual Castlevania game thoughever.
>>748954481This is fine; it feels like a DSvania cover, which is neat, but I still think it's less interesting than this. The cover is better when you're less hung up on her face; the detail is impressive and invokes an earlier period of Castlevania art
>>748956519I don't like how big the title is. Its obscure, like, a third of the cover.
>>748937635They also made Haunted Castle Revisited, which was recent.
>has estus flasks>but sometimes things drop a temporary flask as well>and also sometimes enemies drop chicken to remind you that this is supposed to be castlevania
>>748956468They'd shoot themselves in the foot if they tied outfits to classes
>>748956541The title placement on the cover feels like a total afterthought desu, i think there's a version without it
>>748956490Hollowed Nig was a mistake
>>748956591But that's how job systems generally work.
>>748956541Here is a version without the title
>>748956301Ironically the 2 boys in the scarlet engagement are prettier, shit the competition between these games is starting to come off like femboy/trap vs tr00n soc media slapfights lol.
>>748941742The whip thingy is way too finicky to be satisfying. And the music SUCKS
>>748956627she straight up looks like a man kek
>>748956519I'm not an art guy so I'm probably gonna fuck up articulating this but the art looks washed out. Everything looks dull and there's barely any contrast. There's detail for sure but it's lost in a samey sea of dull red and blue
>>748956576it's just dead cells with castlevania staples cynically added to it when devs remember what kind of game they're supposed to be making.>>748956646>2 boysoh no no no
>>748952014>platforming in a platformer? OH NOS WHERE'S MY SKIP GAMEPLAY BUTTON???
>>748956664Hard agree, can't believe tastelets are saying the new game looks good. It's just low contrast and washed out neon, and the cover art looks way better than the game and is still mid compared to previous games
Imagine a Castlevania x Bloodstained collab.
I don't really care that it's different, since Igavanias were kind of stale by 2005 anyway. I just wish they had found a way to innovate or shake things up that wasn't just integrating existing trends in Metroidvanias. Given how saturated the genre is maybe that's too much to ask, I don't know. I don't think a basic Symphony of the Night 2 or a Scherzo of Indigestion or whatever would have been that exciting either without a pretty big budget, though.I want Castlevania V but I know that isn't happening.

My main issues with the demo come from the fact there are too many hollowshit influences in it.Hollowshit map instead of a classic grid-based map which was incredibly compact without turning locations into amorphous blobs when you zoom them outHollowshit charmsEnemies with endless superarmor and basically no real hit reaction, something SOTN had 30 years agoWater is just a pit, which means no underwater explorationJudging by the control scheme and the leaked upgrades, it's going to be super basic (double jump, dash, parry, stomp, whip), don't expect a bat or mist form or anything.There are also demo specific issues that are just symptomatic for modern castlevanias in general. A lot of suck to target bullshit in combat exacerbated by the whip just auto-targeting foes from nearly a screen away, annoying overanimated objective notifications, hideous heroine design. I'm going to assume you can only equip 1 spell at a time when CV games had presets for nearly 20 years.
>>748956913Oh, which one?

Kojima haters can't convince me this doesn't look good

Now this looks like Castlevania:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCnw7JmIEHM
>>748957824>still the same horrible graphicswhats the excuse now?
>>748954481Eh, Terada's illustration is still much more interesting/cool to me. The girl is certainly cuter but the composition of this reminded me of fucking Genzoman in 2026.
>>748957824CLAUDE PLEASE TURN THIS TO 2D SPRITES
>>748957714>We both danced.>We shared our destiny.Well this is either going to be gay as all fuck or there's actually a twist regarding the identity of one of them
>>748957916it doesn't look amazing but it's nowhere near as bad as the first game
>>748957916It looks noticeably better tho? Even compared to the first trailer for this game, let alone the previous entry.
>>748957916Graphics are actually significantly better, but moreover, look at the fucking direction, that section with the dragon flight is miles ahead of anything in BC.
>>748957959Curse of the Moon 3, trvst the plan.
>>748957989>>748958021>>748958059it still has the same ugly lightning on all textures, seriously whoever the main art guy is needs to get fired for ruining both gamesthis shit doesn't need to be this bright, all textures have different lightning on them
>>748957050Take a wild guess
>>748957309I don't hate her but a lot of her earlier painted work is very stiff and awkward, and I got tired of it.
>>748958151They both look like they'd suck a cock.
>>748958151Another thing is that in the first trailer when they were showcasing armor actually being visible on the in game character model they used the blond dude to show it, they're definitely saving some twist for the white haired one.
>>748958151oh so we aren't going to cry about square jawed manly looking girls now?
>>748958143It's for readability, pretty easy to see what's what and soak in the details too. Looks pretty nice as far as I'm concerned.
>>748958365Looks pretty pointy to me.
>>748919784I would have preferred a remake of Super Castlevania 4 with Simon Belmont as the protagonist and with different whips for elements and swords/daggers/fists as secondary weapons. But Konami wants to go after the market of players who like metroidvanias with lots of platforming and bosses with tricky patterns.
>>748958468Why a remake and not just a new game?
>>748958468>remakefuck off already, you zoomer nigger, the original holds up perfectly to this very day
>>748958383it's horrible and very flat looking because of no shadowsi don't know why you're trying to pretend that it looks immensely better when it has the exact same problems as the first game, they're going for a pixel art direction with semi realistic graphics and it's bad
>>748919784The first Bloodstained clears both of them, what the fuck is this dogshit.
>>748919784>oh, these games that suck ass and looks like ass?>welll..... i am actually gonna say i LIKE them! Hehehehe, i am so special and quirky and unique. You heard that? I LIKE this trash? U mad? x)))
>>748958676u sound mad tho?
>>748958676mad as fuck lmao
>>748958594>they're going for a pixel art directionAnd it was good call, I would've preferred actual 2D sprites but this ain't a bad compromise.
>>748957824What is the Inti Creates 2D spin-off going to be called?>Bloodstained: Painting of Ruins>Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 3>Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 0
>>748959132>>Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon Zerofixed
>>748956664I am an art guy and the reason this gets done is because the art is simply a backdrop to whatever logo or font they're going to slap on top. You sometimes don't even know what that is going to be, so you have to play it safe. The yellow hair aura draws your eye to the focal point here. There's nothing wrong with the reduced contrast by itself. It turns the art into a bit of a Where's Waldo for people that are interested in searching for details. The main problem I have with the art is that it's not particularly great for what it is. It reminds me more of some of the comic book art we'd see in the 90s. But the character isn't particularly attractive. I'm just not sure who it's supposed to attract? Frank Frazetta novel covers slapped violence, half-naked women, and muscled barbarians on them. They appealed to men right away. This cover is what? A manly woman with a whip?
>>748958510Because it would be useful to introduce new players to the franchise's lore, but without leaving out veteran players who played these games in the early '90s.>>748958538Super Castlevania 4 has good mechanics and level design, but the game is very easy and has very little replay value
>>748919784Neither of these will be good
>>748960132>but the game is very easyand a modern demake would make it even easier, are you nuts?
>>748920210No shit look at the gay tumblr artstyle it never had a chance

>>748919784I have to be honest, I was never able to enjoy any metroidvania / castlevania like
>>748919784The art direction is balls.
>>748960289Hell yeah I love nigger music in my Castlevania. Just like the netflix show.
>>748961139What a cunt, westoids truly can't write for shit.
>>748958906It's not a good call, it should've either been realistic or pixelated a mix of both looks bad. Just don't be surprised when people write off this game because it looks as ugly as the first one
>hurrrdurrr it plays nothing like Castlevania!also /v/>mmmm yess I love SOTN! a REAL Castlevania! The originals? No, I haven't play them.
>>748961542The first one sold over 2 million copies while looking worse, so clearly neither game is as ugly as your sperg out makes it seem.
>>748960132>franchise's loreNobody gives a shit about that, nor should they.
I don't like the hit VFX, sometimes I don't see what the enemies are doing.
>>748961829calm down shill
>>748961646Belmont's Curse plays neither like a Classicvania or an IGAvania, the two established styles for the 2D games. Nice larp though, Nigflix faggot.
>>748961883Yeah the hit effects are super exaggerated.
>>748961898concession accepted
>>748959956I guess that opens them up to making Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon Zero 2.
Are there any other secrets on the demo beside the Cestus?
>>748961972okay shill
>>748960289No fucking way
>>748961829Dead cells sold more than 10 millions but apparently it's a dogshit game according to this thread

>>748961001The chad Michiru Yamane was a classically trained musician. No info on who composed this but it sounds like some faggot ass soundcloud musician obsessed with ambient slop and hiphop beats instead of real melodies
>>748941357This looks super floaty and dictated by long attack animations like that shitty grimdark pac-man metroid clone.
>>748961139>Rose is probably a lesbian at this point.She is the only child so no, that's pretty much impossible.
Verdict, it's kino https://www.reddit.com/r/castlevania/comments/1wwkaxh/belmonts_curse_full_ost_is_the_craziest_mainline/
>>748961926Very ironic that a nigger zoomoid like you is calling me a larper while slurping up Iga diarrhea. SOTN was universally hated by Castlevania fans when it originally released. The only CV thing it had were reused sprites from Rondo. Kill yourself. DEATH TO IGA DEATH TO SOTNDEATH TO FAKE FANS
>>748962236A clever choice indeed my dear Castlevania fans.
>>748934663It's pretty good, but think of it as a cool indie game, not as a Castlevania game. The level of quality isn't there when compared to the classic games, but it's still a fun time.

>>748962506>writingthey didn't even look at the writing, and neither did youthere hasn't even been a "heck" in the demo
>>748962603>and neither did youDuh, I don't like spoiling my experiences with demos.
I liked the visuals, I liked the combat, I liked the animations, I liked the voice acting. The music in the demo was just alright, the only gripe I can think of from my perspective.It's okay if you don't like it. It's okay if you can't help but be a franchise purist. The fact of the matter is, we got over 30 Castlevania games by this point, and almost everyone involved with those games have moved on. We probably won't ever get a new Castlevania that will feel "quite right", but this game felt great to me, even if it can't clone the exact aspects of the best games in the series.Nostalgia can have a powerful hold and heavily influence what we consider to be enjoyable, I get that. It's a sad thing, to me, because It has generally not been an issue for me, but It's something I've seen in other gamers time and time again.In my opinion, it IS a pretty good game. The combat is punchy, the visuals are good enough to make me pause exploration just to oggle them repeatedly, the story is compelling.I won't tell you to give it a chance, but there are going to be people that will really like it, for some of them this will be their first Castlevania, and that should sound like a good thing to you, because it means more fans of the series, and that's a good thing for every Castlevania fan.

So the fact that they chose the one team that doesn't do that feels like a very deliberate choice.

But the background is meant to be less prominent. And the contrast between it and Rose is good.
>>748965801not him but the surreal colors, hand painted assets and intricate backgrounds, the noisy music and rose being small and fast remind me of harmony of dissonance
i gotta say this music would kinda fit in a castlevania set in modern times but not in 1499like imagine a setting like vtmb but you're a vampire hunter

Hence the title of the game, "The Scarlet Engagement". Iga himself promised that the story will be a masterpiece compared to RotN
>>748967295nothing wrong with them they're some of the best ones but they gathered a cultist fanbase, just look at silent hill and ninja gaiden, if you played them you'd know what i mean without even mentioning the games that have cult-like fanbase
>>748919784Castlevania: Zoomer's Curse
>>748969230in this case is mostly people being terrified of the possibility the game is being influenced by the satanic netflix series. castlevania is a niche series and not as strong as devil may cry who shits out a new title celebrating the story of the franchise just in time to invalidate the american cartoon.also the problem is castlevania protagonists are pure and innocent usually, it's a series about god's chosen vs chaos' chosen and netflix subverted that completely making them lazy, drunk, sinful, hypocritical, evil etc

>>748969806Warren Ellis isn't writing this game
>>748969806>>748970109Wait, this is from Nocturne, which Ellis didn't write, so somehow the writers that replaced him were even bigger fedora tippers than he is, which is a feat in itself.I guess you could argue the abbot talking about the rise in the church of Reason, which was a thing in the French Revolution but didn't last very long
>>748960289Am I supposed to be surprised? The music in the demo was quite weak too.
did people actually like the inverted castle gimmick?
correct me if i'm wrong but castlevania never had an obese boss? the only one that comes to mind is the butcher but that's lords of shadow
This is hardly the only time Castlevania has changed form or looked different. And what does it even matter if the game is good? Which it very much appears to be. There was never this much whining in the past. Not even Lords of Shadows faced this much shitflinging. This is inorganic as fuck. Also. However different Belmont's Curse may or may not be, Bloodstained looks healthy and promising. So we're genuinely in a very favourable position. Especially with Netflix crashing and burning. And yet people will insist, with 24/7 complaints, that Belmont's Curse is somehow uniquely bad, not good, and can't possibly be Castlevania? Go suck off the remains of Grimoire of Souls or something.
>>748960289I'm going to have to play this game on mute, aren't I?
>>748967609>unreasonablyhow so? why don't they deserve to be there?
>>748970898just wait for mods. i have some crazy ideas there are lots of fantastic tracks from the pachinkos, judgement, harmony of despair
>>748965801All over the game quite frankly. Perhaps not everywhere, but certainly all around. Where is the "Castlevania" in Circle of the Moon? It doesn't control like any other Castlevania. You've got more abilities than in the classic games and yet you've barely got any compared to the Metroidvania games. And it's a more linear game than the latter but a more open game than the former. Where is the Castlevania?
I quite frankly don't really care much at all about 30fps vs 60fps. And played the demo on my NS2 without hesitation even though I could have played it on my PC. And then I prepurchased the game on the NS2 too. But... why is there no NS2 version of the game? That seems real stupid.

In fact you could say it was an attempt to merge the two styles that didn't pan out. It has a whip, it has Dracula, and it has a banging soundtrack, that makes it more of a Castlevania than this bootleg lofi shit.
>>748971335i think s2 version runs at 60 but it looks like s1
>>748960289>Trusting nu-konami to deliverKek. Die woke company
>>748971412Ellis can write good stuff, but a pulpy Gothic franchise like Castlevania is 100% not in his wheelhouse since he needs to come with hard sci-fi explanations for shit which doesn't need it like why Vampires don't like crosses which he pinched from a book
>>748964198he looks too easy but the HP looks too low, like he takes 5% on hit. fight doesn't even last a minute.
>>748970775Uhhh... Wallman?
>>748919784
There's one post here that's clearly an angry teen LARPing as an oldfag.
>>748972006only one?
>>748953545I watched until Richter season where they ramped up the woke shit. It was at least subtle with Trevor still kicking ass but they made an unbearable BLACK GIRLBOSS that keeps powercreeping the BELMONT during richard's I dropped it by then.
>>748919784Belmont's Curse is going to suck. The demo already spoiled everything, it's a fucking Hollow-like, not a metroidvania and the music is trash.Now Bloodstained looks very nice, the models are a bit stiff but I hope the devs can fix them. Just that one song from the trailer is better than the entire the Belmont's Curse OST. Fuck you Evil Empire.
>>748972150I want them to release the name of the composer so I can verify my suspicions
>>748972063One especially retarded one, the one saying death to IGA and "fake" fans. I swear, most classicvania "purists" are kids who grew up on similar indie games and think they're old souls.
>>748972282you're drunk and have it backwardsit's the igabros (and larpers) having a shitfit that belmont's curse isn't literally the exact same game for a sixth time
>>748972341NTA but I don't like Igavanias and I also think this game looks, sounds, and controls like boiling diarrhea. Even worse if it's hollowlike because I didn't like HK
>>748919784Castlevania looks and sounds like Dead Cells 2.Bloodstained looks and sounds like Castlevania.
>>748971647Everyone's writing is indistinguishable from each other. Why else would Amazon spend so much money to get the rights to make their own Lord of the Rings show but hand it to some nobodies to write?
>Leon is corrupted by dark power and turned into a monster >Trevor died fighting because he is too old It sucks seeing old heroes drop one by one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcjkpCaUbn4Is this supposed to look good? Is this the "actual good music" y'all are praising?
>>748972687>Trevor died fighting because he is too oldhe's not dead????
Hall of Mirrors music reminds me of Princely Rooms in Lecarde Chronicles II
>>748972671>Everyone's writing is indistinguishable from each other.That's simply not true. The reason people like Amazon hire crap writers is because it's cheaper and unlike expensive writers, they're willing to work on these licensed properties so they can change them into their own stories.Ellis, for all his faults, does have a rather distinct voice as a writer even compared to his other contemporaries of 90s British comic writers
Why don't they just fix Bloodstained's graphics? There have been tons of cel shaded Guilty Gear clones after the first Bloodstained released.
>>748973224konami doesn't own bloodstained
>Iga makes partnership with Vanillaware for next Bloodstained gameHow would this make you feel?
>>748971335I too was surprised by that. If I bought it it was going to be on the Switch 2, but now I probably won't.
>>748971518>It has a whip, it has Dracula, and it has a banging soundtrack, that makes it more of a Castlevania than this bootleg lofi shit.So does this game, other than maybe the soundtrack.
>>748973224they're complete retards sabotaging themselves
>>7489736742/3 is less than 3/3, and that thing it's missing is the most consistent element of the entire series.
How does the new CV protagonist compare to Miriam?
they're going to remake sotn with this art style
>>748974223
>>748974025rosita? rosita is cute in some artworks, unfortunately the portrait dialogue art is trash and that's the one you are going to see most often
>>748919784I grew out of metroidvanias after dread and silksong. The genre will not top hollow knight anyways
>>748973923A decent chunk of Igavania fans would be happier jacking off to yaoi while listening to the OST.
>>748974415Kys roachlover
>>748974415>Hollow KnightYou mean le quirky chungus indie cutesly billshit?
>>748974025Freckles cutie.
the demo was pretty sick, then again I went in expecting dead cells and got exactly what I wanted. People expecting a traditional vania are gonna get burned. I do wonder how long the game will be thoughbeit
>>748975216your mind has been poisoned by shitposting friend
are (you) going with english or dub?
>>748943807Will a modder fix this? I bothers me SO MUCH as well. She fucking looks like a creepy tranny with this portrait...
I liked the gameplay, but the grapple is way too long, the VFX too invasive and I don't care about the music.
>>748975216Fuck, I meant cutesy bullshit.
>>748971212>It doesn't control like any other Castlevania.SotN Richter mode, you larping faggot.
>>748974025Miriam mogs
Well I've read a spoiler game protagonists killed by dracula: 0 rose: 2note that brauner sits at 1 (killed eric) and gabriel from los 1 (killed trevorcard) so I'm thinking that dracula is a fraud
>>748966557Because he's her ancestor who became her ally and is being nice to her? You fucking retard.
>>748976081actually 3 if sypha really died because of her
the dodge is weird, it seems it only kind of has iframes and is more to reposition and go through enemies (?)
>>748972113>It was at least subtleAlucard having gay sex was real subtle, yeah.
>>748976169it's to dodgeit does exactly what it's supposed to do and nothing else
>>748972819retard >>748940492
>>748961139yep now this is good writing, learn the difference
>>748972790>Is this supposed to look good?it does>Is this the "actual good music"yep, mogs the fuck out of Belmont's Curse if nothing else
>>748976295It won't stick.
>>748976364Fixed it.
>post netflix-slop castlevania
>>748976598bodied that nigger
>>748976623If the series was ever going to get another game this far out, we all damn well knew what it was going to be.
>>748976598he wouldn't say a normal thank you
>>748976623rent free
>>748976364>>748961139The bold, headstrong, I'm right, old ways wrong protagonist encountering someone from the past that stood where they stood at one point, refusing the ways things are and choosing to do something different while simultaneously repeating the exact same mistakes that made the old wiser veteran fail is a very compelling story, if they actually do that. If the Fallen just gets owned and Rose is just better, then it sucks. If Rose fails or needs to be saved or is made fully aware that you are not the first person to want change, don't pretend no one has advice or support to offer, don't think you're the first person that has stood here, is thematically rich, but it's a fucking demo and a few screenshots.From what we see it could be absolute slop, or it could be absolute kino, you can think it'll be either, but I want a good Castlevania game, I'll judge it for myself instead of pretending I can surmise an entire story by one story beat screenshot. If it is cliche and sucks, I'll agree, but until then I'll wait.
>>748976985Do you really think that a game with a buff, abrasive STRONG FEMALE PROTAGONIST is going to have her fail in any capacity, or be shown as less than correct? There's hope, and then there's wishful thinking.
>>748976257what the fuck does that meanno but seriously that puts it in line with the backdashes of the igavanias
>>748977573ntashe clearly thinks her dad died so unless he shows up alive IMMEDIATELY after she says that, yeah, she at least gets humbled a bit
>>748977616It means that it's not a run replacement, something it was in SotN.
not the fault of the art but this hair curl always has me see her with elf ears
>>748977786>run replacement?
>>748976772yes he would, you poser faggot
>>748977948back dash is faster than going forward in sotnyou can spam it in sotnyou can FAMOUSLY spam it, even
>>748978063just dont see how thats a sequitur to iframe discussion
>>748956627God that looks awful
>>748978201okay, then let's try thisit is purely to get out of the way, minimal to no iframesit is LITERALLY only a dodge maneuver
