How bad do you think the final product will be?Let me be honest here, the demo made me lose any hope I still had. It's Lords of Shadow all over again.
>>749030156Will sell worse than Lords of Shadow.
I hope it flops because that shit looks, plays and sounds nothing like Castlevania.
>>749030156Remember when people used to make fun of JRPGs for having BELTS?
>>749030156Judging by the art style alone it's trash. When are metroidvanias going to go back to pixel art instead of 3d slop or anime slop?
>>749030156no thanks
>>749030156Playing the demo just made me sad.
>>749030156I will pirate so I don't care if it sucks a little. It feels like a mediocre indie metroidvania which is alright to me. I would not pay for it though.
>>749030615>Lords of shadow 1 will forever remain the highest selling castlevania game Dont know how to feel about that
Walljumps and than whip thingy feels too magnety and sticky. Overall everything feels more or less 'off' from what I would call a usual Castlevania.
>>749031056I don't think it's indicative of people, it's just indicative of konami not knowing how to market the series.
>>749030156trannyvania
>Leon>Brauner>EDM/Trap soundtrackyep it's overThe full OST and all dialogue has leaked:https://www.mediafire com/file/qdw17eggszlgs49/Castlevania+Belmont's+Curse+-+Music.zip/file
>>749030156>Girl in new castlevania>Looks like a dude, instead of being hyperfeminineComplete opposite art design kills it for me, and I'm a long Castlevania fan
>>749031979Pretty much every playable female character in Castlevania was hot until this game except for sypha because bitch is fully covered from head to toe.
Demo was great, looks very pretty, good music and the boss was challanging and fun. Rose has a cool and attractive character designe without being coomerbait. It's funny because i really really don't like deadcells
>>749032201Based, i'm a pedophile too!
>>749032201Like I pointed outIt's not about being hotIt's about diverting from the world's culture.The op butch dyke fits the "aesthetic", it has all the ribbons and belts that needs to have to look castlevan-yBut I want the characters to exist on the world, not just look like itOr rather, that looking like it fits the world is just a part of what makes the character, and it's the easiest part
>>749030156I really hate the fact she isn't wearing a dress. The camera zooms out so much she ends up looking like a guy.
>>749033043why would a vampire hunter wear a dress
>>749033293Shanoa wears a dress and she likes to get physical, I don't see why this bitch would be any different.
What i wonder is if they will shy away from using Christian imagery, it's not very in nowadays. Japan likes to use it but the devs are not japanese
>>749033293It's cute!!!
>>749033650Trevor's cape has a Christian cross on itMammon is a boss
I played the demo and liked it. I don't know what's wrong with it.
>>749033650They just went with the classic>dae Le church bad???
>>749034040It's the medieval Catholic church so it's true!!!!
>>749033980it doesn't play like previous games, although that same complaint could be aimed at sotn
I think the real issue is how bland it looks, sounds and plays. Feels like one of those fan projects with no budget and somehow got a greenlit from kickstarter campaign.It's going to be hot trash, that's for sure.
>>749030156Goddamn that's some bad character design
>>749035552Not really plays great.only real offence is the soundtrack.
Like we actually have people on this board that think the fallen is a hard first boss and calling it souls slop.Utter nonsense.
>>749030156>How bad do you think the final product will be?>Let me be honest here, the demo made me lose any hope I still had.I think the game will be great. And you remaking your doom-thread the moment your previous threads dies 24/7, won't change that.
Lords of Shadow 1 the dlc and Mirror of Fate were good, 2 was garbage.
>>749035552are you confusing this game with Bloodstained: RotN?
Was there some youtube grifter saying something recently? I don't get the pushback, demo was fine but too short.
>>749038376You are not a real fan.
>>749038609I am. I remember that Castlevania existed well before SotN.
I am sick and tired of these non Konami companies taking Konami IPs and trying to do their own ting. These dead cell faggots made a DLC celebrating Castlevania then went on to make the most un-Castlevania game
>>749030156>Sylpha deadWhy?
>>749039301Sylpha is obviously that ghost thing that gives you quests
>>749039123Anon, non-Konami companies are making stuff because Konami-proper hasn't been in the game-making business for over a decade, they transitioned to being a pachinko machine company.They have to rebuild their internal teams but in the meanwhile can outsource IPs to others to build their brands back up.Not saying this is good or bad, but it's goign to be a minute until Konami itself will be making decent things in-house.
>>749038609not that anon but my first Castlevania was CV1 on the NES. At least for my family and all the kids I knew, when you grew up in the '80s your family usually didn't buy a ton of games since they were expensive and your parents weren't that supportive of kids playing vidya all the time. The CV games were the only ones we bought consistently when they came out. I was old enough to use my own money to start buying them beginning with Castlevania Dracula X. I used emulators to play CV Bloodlines, Rondo of Blood, and the x68k Akumajou Dracula.I like the Igavanias but I don't consider them the only "real" Castlevania games as some retards on this board seem to do. They were a fun alteration to the formula but they don't represent the entirety of the franchise. Regarding the demo for Belmont's Curse, it's too soon to tell what the overall quality will be. I like the art, the music doesn't reach the heights of the other games in the series but it's serviceable based on what I've heard. The gameplay seems okay, although there is somewhat of a delay on things because it seems more tied to the animation rather than them wanting it to feel as snappy as possible.Having recently played both Blasphemous games I feel like that team would have been a more natural fit for the franchise but I'll reserve my final opinion until after I've played this one through to its completion
>>749039301from the leaked dialogueShe died giving birth to Rose
>>749039417Anon Konami made MGS Delta in house. They can make games anon. How do you not know this anon?
>>749039301Game seems to imply she died in childbirth
The last time a Castlevania game made me happy was halfway through Portrait of Ruin when I realized they made a direct sequel to Castlevania: Bloodlines which I never saw coming. It's been soulless slop ever since
>>749031056It is a GoW clone but I like it. The narration before each stage was kino.
>>749039585This time you'll realize it's a direct sequel to Portrait of Ruin!
>>749030156I really didn't like how it controlled. The jump was so stilted and not what I expected from Castlevania and the even the whip felt like it had odd delay. Is Dead Cells like this? I admittedly have barely touched Igavanias but I know they felt smoother than this.Also not a single music track stuck out to me so fuck this game that's not Castlevania.
>>749039641This is going to be a sequel to the Netflix garbage also enough with Trevor he has to have the most appearances of any Belmont in Castlevania games at this point
>>749039684Dead Cells actually controls better
>>749030156Every time I looks at Rose all I can think of is she has the exact same arm curse as Hyabusa in Ninja Gaiden 3
>>749039776>This is going to be a sequel to the Netflix garbageNope, it's a sequel to Lament of Innocence, III, Curse of Darkness and Portrait of Ruin. The entire script leaked
>>749030156The game is fun but I’m not a Metroidvania giga enjoyer. I wish the female character was sexy. She looks fine as some Shonen tier protagonist but i want something more lavish and sexy for a game like this. It’s like how I felt about Lost Crown. Great game with dog shit character design.
>>749030156I am shocked they didn't give her that lesbian brain cancer surgery side buzz cut that must have taken huge restraint
>>749039491Anon, with "support" from Virtuos anon.You're retarded. Anon.
>>749030156>it flops and the series is dead again>it sells and the series is raped forever like post-botw zelda
>>749039897It can't be a sequel to multiple things it doesn't work like that its a sequel to whatever came right before it. Also when you say sequels do you just mean references here and there because that isn't anything special
why is konami freely giving out the castlevania and silent hill licenses (but not metal gear) to anyone with next to nothing done in house
>>749033293Because it’s sexy. Who gives a fuck about practicality. The only reason why she doesn’t look like a sex demon is because this gam was made by non Japanese people. I’m playing Ninja Gaiden 4 right now and there’s practical reason for Seori dressing the way she does. But it makes my dick hard and that’s all that matters.
>>749040003Cool anon that still means they made a game even if they had a help anon and that means you were wrong anon.
>>749040079Because they have achieved a cultural victory?
>>749040040Leon, Isaac and Brauner play major roles in the story
>>749040136Are they actually in the game?
>>749040079Konami's few remaining developers are exclusively working on YGO and PES.
>>749040094>wrong>heaving lifting by a 3rd partyAnonAnon
>>749040017Lords of shartdow already killed Castlevania, right now it is just a reanimated corpse.
>>749040267Anon every game studio has "support" be it other studios, contractors or 3rd party support tools this is not a new thing anon. You were wrong anon. I accept your concession anon.
>>749040229YesLeon is the first boss in the game. He's in the demo. Brauner and Isaac are bosses too. You kill and absorb Leon and Isaac. Leon is inside Rose's mind and he speaks to her throughout the entire game
>>749040379I see you're going to insist your incorrect assumption proved anything wrong.So I'll go ahead and just accept you can't take the L and accept your concession.
>>749040136>Braunerwasn't he supposed to become a vampire AFTER WW1 like Wind said in Portrait of Ruin? wtf is he doing in the middle ages
>>749031107genuinely the first thought that came to me when I saw the OP's image.
>>749030156I think it will be fine for general audiences and people who enjoyed the netflix series. That's why I'm not interested after playing that demo, because that is the exactly feeling I walked away with afterward.
>>749040386I figured the first guy was someone important. Ok i'll wait till the game comes out to pass judgement
>>749040473I accepted your concession anon we are good anon.
>>749040595And I accepted yours. We are in fact good.
>>749040719See previous post anon
(You)
Still accepted anon
They could have tried harder with Rose's design. Each of the Belmonts has a sort of distinct visual identity while still adhering to the longcoat/straps/boots general hunter look. Simon a barbarian, Juste flamboyant mage, Trevor a rogue, Leon a crusader, etc.She just looks like a Trevor/Sypha fusion, without anything unique (beyond the boring cursed arm). Given the focus on Arcana cards, she could have resembled a fortune teller with glasses, hood, trinkets, etc. Just overall seems very uninspired and safe, even personality-wise.
>>749040475He helps Rose because Dracula will kill all humans and Brauner says he needs humanity to live, but suffer, for his paintings.
>>749039491Konami didn't make Delta on their own.
>>749041324I hope there is cohesion to this shit and not "member these guys". Do the leaks say who the ghost that gives you quests are in the demo? I assumed it was Sypha
>>749041574I accepted your concession already anon
>>749040475time travel maybe
>>749041173I think all she needs is to show more skin, a pretty dress would do the trick.
>>749030156>How bad do you think the final product will be?6/10 at worst. 7/10 at best. Not a dazzling revival for the series, but I think most of the Igavanias are just-okay too, even if they appeal to me more. Konami peaked in the 90s, and so did Castlevania.
I just want this fucking game out already so they can talk about what come out next. It has been over 2 years since the last anniversary collection I am sure the next one is going to be released soon. They stealth dropped the last one so I imagine there is a high chance it gets released at whatever the next bug gaming show is
>>749033650because its a tranny game made by people that literally hate Jesus Christ.
>>749041643?
>>749041975The only good part about LOS is it was made by christcuck Spaniards who made Dracula into a christcuck who loved God but was betrayed by him. The story was still Christians bad but it was handled a lot better
>Still fully committed to the overdesigned Nomura anime aestheticThis series died with Symphony of the Night. A game about fighting every spooky ghost and cryptid to ever exist should have never been capable of being this gay looking.
>>749042051see>>749041643
>>749042135This was a Nintendo Power cover not official art from Konami
>>749042051Just yet another /v/ autist having a melty that they were wrong about something. They think you're me.
>he still won't let his concession go even when he resorted to samefagging and it didn't work>"melty">he's a eurofag to bootkek
>>749030156>male character has the weird fucking bara chest out>female character covered literally up to her head, zero curvesThe outfit of the guy looks weird too, it's practically that whole retarded moralfaggot meme where they put the dude in the girl armor to be like "heh don't like it so much now, do you".
>>749042290Oh. That's retarded.
>>749039916At least Lost Crown gave you alt costumes for the ugly little fucker
>>749042135>this nibba be thinking simon doesn't look extremely gay as all fuck
>>749042609this nigga zesty
>>749039471>Sypha (important part of the series' legacy) dies after giving birth to Rose (the new game by devs that don't understand what made the series good)bravo Kojima!
>>749030156I hope it crashes and burns for the simple fact I really, really goddamn hate women and see them as a vector for insidious organizations like Blackrock to gain a hold of things you love to corrupt them. Women exist to be beaten to a pulp when they so much as sneeze too loud, and bred, not be characters in video games. You all need to stop fucking around and get misogynymaxxing right the fuck now if you want to keep the things you love pure.
>>749042738I am pretty sure Konami had to approve all this shit
>>749042781too busy racismmaxxing
>>749042781congratulations, you are the first honest person i have seen in the post-demo threadsyou should be locked up in a nuthouse, but you're honest
>>749042738Sypha is not really a part of "what made the series good". She's not Alucard. She simply had a small role in Castlevania 3.
>>749030156So is she part vampire?
>>749042738Sypha went from "that shit side character that could be a man or a woman" in Castelvania 3 to important because of the anime which are the people you are complaining about
>>749043107aw, is baby mad that trevor wasn't a gay bear?
>>749043054She is part Satan.
>>749043231I am pretty sure Trevor was bi in the anime
>>749043107Wasn't sypha always meant to be trevor's wife in all canon? seems pretty important to be a ancestor to all belmonts after trevor.
>>749043291Sure but she was still a minor footnote in the actual games. The anime actually made her into a fully fleshed out character with a personality
>>749042781To be fair, it reeks of foidslop>that art style>arcane cards>the story premiseDon't be surprised when it turns out Rose is nothing but another generic girlboss character we see constantly nowadays.
>>749043107Castlevania 3 was such a funny translation. Referred to as "he" in the main game, then the ending happens when "he" has long hair and leans into Trevor with Trevor's arm around Sypha, and suddenly the ending refers to them as "she" without going back and correcting the earlier translation.I don't remember what the manual referred as
>>749043649The card system seems like a shittier version of the Circle of the Moon system
>>749043649>artstyleok>arcane cardsalready precedent>story premisebeing played out for the series doesn't mean a woman wrote it, nor does it having a female protagonist, of which we already had a noncanon solo one and a canon solo one AND one that shared with a man
>>749043725>he
>>749043979At my job whenever I sent out important emails that go out to one person but it's usually an important person I quadruple check every part of it. How easy did boomers have it when they could do shit like this and have no issues and sometimes get rewarded when mistranslations become actual lore?
>>749043979Sypha scored BIG alright
>>749043979Western gaming companies in the 80's and 90's were certainly a thing since they clearly were embarrassed by what they were working on
>>749041582I haven't read the entire script, but Sypha and the ghost have a separate txt file>>749031635
>>749043790I can't believe I'm saying this but man, I wish the DSS came back.
>>749030156Her cursed arm looks like NG3 cursed arm
>>749043054Yes, Sypha reveals Alucard Is Rose's true father. Trevor pretends to accept it, but kills himself in the end
Fun fact you can backtrack in the demo to the starting areahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OduH8hp1Ko
>>749042954>>749043107Sypha is the entire reason why future Belmonts like Juste, Richter and Julius were so proficient with magic you fucking secondaries, who gives a fuck about the shitty western cartoon
>>749042954where the fuck did you get "what made the series good" from "important part of the series' legacy" you dumb jeet shill?
>>749045206Correct but then again this was all relegated to lore and text. You weren't shown who Sylpha was or the personality she had. The anime did this.
>>749045206>richter and julius>proficient at magicThose two retards are just unga bunga and use their magic as a nuke rather than as part of their regular arsenal, literally only Juste uses it correctly.
>>749030156The grapple feels like shit to use, combat animations are way too much and i can‘t even tell if enemies are attacking due to the effects. This game might just be a disappointment on the scale of the 2d god of war game but i already preordered it like the retarded gentile i am so i‘ll still play it. At least phantom blade zero looks good
>>749045635I dunno what the word is but it feels too floaty I think? The game is not hard it's annoying like the archers can ass rape you in seconds not because it's hard because of the combination of floatiness, the way they knock back you which is both vertical and horizontal, the lack of damage invincibility frames and how fast they attack you and they are always in annoying places. Again not hard but annoying.
>>749043442her personality was to direct trevor to do what she wanted because she can do no wrong while he, a career vampire slayer must be silent and listen to her because nothing he knows or does is of any value unless she tells him what it is and when to do it
>>749045763Not sure what it is either but i‘m constantly getting hit by attacks i don‘t feel like i should be getting hit by and weirdly slipping off platforms. I can‘t even blame unity jank because other metroidvanias that use it don‘t feel off like this
>>749039491no they didn't, it was a joint project
>>749030156I think the game is fine. The controls are crisp, and I think it was fun.However, I really don't care about the visuals and the music, and the VFXs obscure the enemies too much.I hope there is a Trevor mode.
>>749045449We didn't need the episodic play by play you ridiculous twat, what we got from her in-game, plus her ending, was more than enough. Fuck off and take your Netflixvania faggotry with you.
>he came back again to samefag again and will now pretend again he is still here not doing itconcession still accepted
>>749046105>We didn't need the episodic play by playYes we did. What we "got" was a single NES game where the western translation couldn't even get her gender right. Before the anime when you asked a fan about Sypha the best you might have got was "uhhhhhh the other dude from Castlevania 3?"
>>749045462Technically, the Julius' Vanitas thing is magic, I think?
>>749039491No
>>749040017>the series is raped foreverJust continuing its state of being for the last 20 years
>>749042609That's the kind of gay I can respect
Yes you do still concede and I still accept. Waiting for that concern troll post where you go like "wow I can't believe he thinks those people are me"
>>749039123Konami hasn't made a game themselves in over a decade retard. They went to gambling machines and abandoned video games for a long time.
Yup and that concession I accept as well keep going with the samefagging
>>749042609>Wearing leotard is gay nowWhy so oppressive?
And lore for the schizo talking to himself?
There it is I called you were going to do that lol
>>749040017Having it die is better than the shit we're getting now
>>749030156I thought the demo was fun but of course /v/ fucking hates everything.
>>749047042Maybe even a blast was had?
>>749047142Yeah I was blast having so hard. Faggot.
>>749046901Further up, looks like anons argued about whether Konami has active development in-house.Apparently one of them is still in here hours later by the timestamps.
Yeah I tried it and this aint it man. Comboshit? In my Castlevania? Leave that to the 3D spinoffs. It just reeks of Hollow Shite; I can tell this thing is gonna be bloatmaxxed to hell, the music is uninspired, I mean what are we doing here?
>>749040017It will succeed and go on to be raped forever, this is the fate of every Konami franchise now. You will long for the days when this company made nothing.
>>749030156Demo was fine, maybe I'll pick it up in a couple years when it's on sale if it turns out okay.
>>749047241I give this post a 5/10, needs more buzz words.
>>749046148>>749046626>>749046695>>749046987You doing okay dude?
>he's having a conversation with himself for a 2nd time
>>749030840>plays and sounds nothing like Castlevania.Same could be said of every single Castlevania game.
Let me check your concession status anon one moment anon......yup.....yea it's there and still accepted anon
>>749030156It won't be Castlevania.
>>749047142NTA, but it was fun. Just not blast having level.I'll say the price tag is appropriate.
>>749033650The demo literally starts with Trevor insinuating that the Bishop who wrote to him for help is somehow only interested in wealth.
>>749047304Sorry. I meant to say im having a blast and that the science is fucking loved
I just played the remnants of darkness demo. It's fucking kino
>>749047380I'll take that as a "no" thenOkay
>>749046270nah, just a dexfag thing, Julius maxed out STR and DEX
I'll take that as you conceding anon.Okay
>>749040501tunometecabras
>>749047590I will wait to see if it ever gets finished (lol)
>>749047651He can also Grand Cross and 8 way whipping.
>>749047452Are you the "konami can't make their own games yet" faggot or the "konami made MGS delta themselves" faggot? And why are you monitoring a thread for 2-3 hours in case the opposite anon shows up?
>>749047720saramambiche
Even redditors are hating it so I guess it's actually good.
>>749047745it's /v/. more than likely legit mental illness. it happens.bg3 threads gets a crazy ass fuck that's been posting about hating it for over 5 years at least now
Are you "conceding" again? If you are then yes I accept your concession
>>749047735I remember reading it would release in late 2027 but who knows if that will actually happen
>>7490477452nd one
>>749039123zoomies shouldn't comment on old franchises
I accept your concession
>>749047845Honestly that game should have had an AO rating. Deserved hate
>>749048067Why are there so many anons on this site proud of being old 40 year old losers still on this site like that is a badge of honor?
