They licensed it to Mercury Steam who made the best selling most popular game Castlevania Lords of Shadow.

They licensed it to Powerhouse Animation/Netflix whose western animes have brought more viewers than any of the games.

It’s clearly a winning strategy.

They can't seem to break from allowing gaijin to ruin Silent Hill either.

At the same time, they don't call these westernvanias Akumajou Dracula too. Like these are separate from the real series.

I'm starting to see a pattern here

dont worry, the next good castlevania is made by scalies

>>749843052
LoS2 had a messy dev cycle. Still sold more than OOE across all platforms.

Nocturne has different writers with a worse pedigree than first series, but still second most popular thing in the Castlevania after the first series.

Even when westerners crashed and burned they still did better than what was happening before with Igavania rehashes and occasional classicvania rehash. It was due to dire situations like this that Konami stopped doing video games for a while

I still don't know what the curse is supposed to be.

anybody who doesn't realize there is more inspiration in a single random screenshot of rondo of blood than there is in the entirety of the new game simply lacks a soul and their opinion should be discarded immediately

Broken toy no longer fun.

Kotama and academy citadel is one of the best metroidvanias ever and I begged people here to play it and nobody ever has any interest. Somehow.

You don't want this type of games, you don't even respond when they do get made.

The same westerners they previously licensed Castlevania to have gone on to successfully revive 2D Metroid, maybe the problem is Konami themselves.

Interestingly, the whole reason that Konami hates IGA is that he used the name "Castlevania" for Lament of Innocence in Japan and the jap audience freaked out at the westernisation of it.

I remember the first thread after release, where a guy claimed to be a marketer and told everyone that the focus would be on platforming and spike traps, and that they'd been briefed to push the "platforming is what castlevania is all about" meme.

I called him a schizo then...starting to believe now

Who decided that jump puzzles every two meters represent the pinnacle of game design for metroidvanias?

Castlevania unironically fell for the Metroidvania meme

This. Mig would have done the series justice. Hell Chronicles of the Wolf is more "Castlevania" at this point than Belmont's Curse

This shit feels 10x more true to the CV series than Dead Cells 2 - even got old Alucard's voice actor back

To be fair, Bloodstained looks like shit. Thankfully, gameplay, sound, etc, are great (except the Lair of the Behemoth).

>>749848136
>look it up
>weebslop
Go to hell

Just beat up to the fifth boss and I think it's a good game. However it's only about 45% castlevania in its DNA. I know the devs wanted to try something new, but spike platforming sections everywhere does nothing for me. I'm not asking it to be trivial like bloodstained, but this is just overkill.

>>749850325
It does, yeah. Makes it hard to really make out everything, even on cinematic quality. One of my only complaints about it other than some of the music being a bit lacking, and it just not having...100% of that spark.

I really should go back and play it again though, I think they just kept adding a ton of game modes to it since then.

Fucking retard, you're full of shit, BC is indeed a TRUE Castlevania game, keep seething until you die from a heart attack, drama queen

Why didn't they include other playable characters as cameos, like in other castlevanias?

Right that's why they made a a cookie cutter modern Metroidvania resembling Hollow Knight.
Which already is the worst Metroidvania, at best just mediocre, because it basically is a 2D Soulslike that larps as a Metroidvania.
Sure took a lot of risks with this one.
Retard.

>>749851421
>worst Metroidvania
At least it's not "roguelike", too. (Another genre ruined by indie devs who have no idea what a genre is actually about).

>>749851421
ah, I see, you're a boomer faggot that keep telling lies and bs about the new game because they change the gameplay again, you're a mongolic faggot that hates videogames kys

>>749851701
Not that guy but yes you fucking RETARD, if they change the gameplay in a way that the game no longer feels like the series it's supposed to be then of course people who like said series are going to complain you stupid twat.

Btw, La Mulana destroys your shitty furryvania, please refrain to post your furry shit, and for your information BC isn't a soulslike nor a hollowlike, you fucking liar and drama queen.

If it says Castlevania in its title then is a Castlevania, bombastic crybaby mongoloid even Grimoire of Souls, Order of Shadows, Encore of the Night and Castlevania Judgment ARE Castlevanias, Castlevania are many things, there is not an essence, a soul or a feeling, you're in denial

You're way out of your depth. But you're right in some ways. Belmont's Curse is a lot like Order of Shadows in many respects.
