Post by: Crushed on November 19, 2008, 10:15:08 PM: Eh, the videos and IGN's review actually make it look actually kinda okay, if you like Castlevania.

But yeah, major WTF at Death's design. I can at least see what Obata was going for with the other guys, but Death's design is just recockulous. They should have just given him his classic hooded robe to cover up all that ugly spike crap. Heck, put animu chains and zippers and mystic circles on the robe, just don't make him some kind of spiky metal worm leg thing.

Post by: cool breeze on November 19, 2008, 10:15:39 PM: The only good design is Trevor.

Post by: Crushed on November 19, 2008, 10:20:49 PM: Actually, looking at the site, making Eric Lecarde a little boy and Grant Danasty into a Voldo-a-like bandaged up freak is also pretty fucking nonsensical.

Though yeah, I actually kinda like Trevor's design. He actually looks like a badass hero here instead of the Ayami Kojima girly-man in Curse of Darkness.

He's the original girly man.

Post by: cool breeze on November 19, 2008, 11:57:39 PM: This game is fun. There is a castle mode where you basically go into different stages and do objectives (basically like Soul Calibur). The reason it's fun and different than Soul Calibur is that since it's an arena fighter, having more than one enemy at a time isn't an issue. There are situations where it's you vs a giant monster while zombies are popping up, things like that. The actual combat itself in these scenes is better than the PS2 Castlevania games.

Post by: MrAngryFace on November 20, 2008, 12:49:12 AM: look at SOTN's map and the map from Super Metroid, best way to see why

Post by: drohne on November 20, 2008, 02:45:07 AM: before sotn, most castlevanias were linear action games

Post by: Arbys Roast Beef Sandwich on November 20, 2008, 03:09:19 AM: The game is okay, but art design is shit. One of 1up's interns was too harsh on it though. Probably a 7.5-8.0 game. Good if you enjoyed Power Stone.

Wait, you can see what they were going for with this?

This is the gayest thing I've ever seen and I've had gay sex. Look at that fucking bulge. This is Tom of Finland quality.

Here's Belmont off to the bar after the fight:

Yes. I can clearly see that they were going for "Some wilde homo Japanese concept of gothic horror that turns the men into gays and the women into lolis or sluts."

Look, this is what Konami's been using as Simon's "official" appearance for years:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/93/SimonBelmont.gif)

He's wearing a girdle and high-heel boots.

After a certain point, a Castlevania fan just stops caring as long as the characters vaguely resemble their old selves. They get angered and call Konami stupid every time the art changes into something even dumber than before, but it's just going through the motions.

There was another incredibly wtf gay costume but I can't find it on IGN. It was also atomically gay, so maybe you know what it is.

Post by: cool breeze on November 20, 2008, 05:00:32 PM: I'm gonna play through story mode as Maria just to watch that LIVE

I've only played as Alucard, Simon, and Trevor so far. Trevor > those two.
