Not really. That Alucard game was IGA's pitch for a next gen Castlevania.

Konami however, instead took Cox/Konami Europe's pitch of a "CV1 remake", which eventually turned into LoS.

X / Re: X's characterization

They werent "revived", they were copied. the rematches in Eastern MH HQ are New Generation Reploids copying them. Though your idea still stands. since he defeated them, he was able to snag DNA samples. I mean, they apparently did something with em, considering latecomer Axl still gets DNA for Jango, Silverhorn, and Psyche and such. (and this is considering the fact that X doesnt obtain Special weapons this game)

another purpose is really just that in that way, he could gain X's trust and join his group to keep tabs on him. he was spying on them in first person. Would be mighty odd of the Maverick Hunter Colonel to suddenly appear in Giga City to join X and crew. This way he can play off some small backstory and pretend to be a new addition to the group.

I'll admit it's pretty clever, factoring in the New Generation reploids from X8 into the plot, but it felt like there wasn't enough build up to it, it happened way too late into the game, and it just didn't feel right.

Keep in mind Command Mission came out before X8. X8 was still in production when it came out, as evidenced by the unlockable X8 demo. So they probably didnt have all of the X8 story fully mapped out yet. so CM is the first usage of New Generation Reploids.

Yeah I honestly dont like Blade Armor, I just used it because of the "leap of faith" section

Protip: You dont need the air dash to pass that section, just the... Hyper Dash was it..? Hyper Dash or Jumper. dont remember which now.

I indeed meant the over the shoulder look.

Though I preferred the X6 variation of her hair. The way her hair is drawn in X8 makes it look like one solid mass draped over both shoulders, which bothers me immensely.

Blade isnt the BEST armor to have to be honest, because of how it's buster works, but if you had Ultimate buster and Sub tanks you really shouldnt have had too much issue. Just be patient.

I find his most dangerous attack is actually the blue energy ball I think it was- which sucks you in towards it, which with the pit, can be dangerous. other than that i never had too much trouble with Gate.

X / Re: Shadow is an incarnation of Double?

« on: May 31, 2012, 05:31:08 AM »

also, Double was a spy from the start, a made maverick.

Shadow is a traitor seduced by power, and possibly maverick

The point of Spider was to be a plot twist, and to make the final boss.

I think it means more along the lines of nonlinear exploration based gameplay rather than combat focused gameplay, much like the scans say.

How does it never build up to anything?

Spider turned out to be their commanding officer, a Colonel in the Maverick Hunters who they were answering to directly, and who turned out to be a New Generation Maverick who hung out with them in order to keep tabs on them, and who in the end only USED them in order to obtain two highly powerful and highly dangerous mineral fragments which literally made him invincible, in order to rule the Earth as a God.

That's not building up to nothing.

The mole, the traitor, your "ally" turned out to be the big bad, the final boss, the puppet master.

Honestly there are so many rumors that im just kind of disregarding every single one as nothing but speculation (which is really all it is)

but it is interesting to see how things will progress.

Serges gave it to him when he rebuilt him.

Rockman Online I think? or was it Zero Collection? said it was in case he ever lost his buster functions again, since he lost his X1 buster functions when he gave X his buster/buster parts.

I'd say Inafune did pretty well as far as Axl's design IMO.

And Yoshikawa's slimming it down only made it better.

oh boy oh boy oh boy

The pic is from the Castlevania Lords of Shadow Facebook page. They updated their profile banner.

and theres a link to that place on the same page.

oh and if you check the source code for that page, you get this line:

Dare you face the evil darkness? It is written that the creatures behind that door will return very soon to claim the souls of your loved ones, and send you straight to hell! Be aware!
