Castlevania

[Satoryu]

Look, I am a huge backer of IGA, but if Circle of the Moon and the N64 games are indeed canon again, his timeline is a mess. That makes the 19th century really busy for Dracula; four or five resurrections and deaths there alone, and all about a decade apart from each other except for the novel. I thought OoE was going to retcon those three entirely and just give Dracula one premature resurrection in the early/mid 1800s. But no, all of a sudden, everything except Sonia is suddenly canon again, supposedly.

If LoS does take place before LoI, meaning there would be no Dracula, I dare say that would be a good change of pace that wouldn't further murk up this timeline. Or even between LoI and CV3, cause those are 400 years unaccounted for.

Like I said.

[Blackhook]

It only needs Death and a sexy Vampire/Succubus and I´ll be fine with it...Oh I won´t be able to play it...Damn it....

[CephiYumi]

If it's in the timeline, it takes place between the first castlevania and the last castlevania

brilliant!

[HokutoNoBen]

Any way, the basic thing is, this game is the start of its OWN thing. It's a reboot, and not utilizing IGA's story in the least.

If IGA and his own PS3/360 game are still out there, it will likely be something for his version of the series, while this game remains mutually exclusive. 

[Satoryu]

Yeah, that's what irks me about LoS the most. I want to see what happens with the new Alucard game.

[Mirby]

Wait... there's a new Alucard game?

[Solar]

Remember that trailer for a PS360 Castlevania that had Alucard light his sword on fire that came out quite a while ago? Yeah, neither did I until he posted that.

[Fxeni]

I'm actually glad that Iga doesn't anything to do with this, some change can't hurt the game in the least.

[Mirby]

I do not remember that trailer, but do want.

[HokutoNoBen]

Yeah, that's what irks me about LoS the most. I want to see what happens with the new Alucard game.

Unless it was a 2D game, I can afford to wait. Nothing that IGA and his posse have done in the 3D arena thus far has given rise to showcase that they really know what they're doing with trying to make a 3D game.

[dragontamer272]

Well it doesn't need to be reimagined. It's been fine for the last 24 years, hasn't it?

Oh yeah, oh really... 24 years now... jeez, I wonder if Konami will hold a 25th Anniversary celebration.

The music in Rebirth is great, i love the sound. My favorite Castlevania games are Portrait of Ruin, Symphony of Night and Order of Ecclesia. I love the Metroidvania games, im not a big fan of the linear ones. Super Castlevania IV is pretty cool tho.
My favorite soundtrack is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3zIJ5wgaA8&feature=related

Oh it's tough for me to choose my favorite Castlevania soundtrack, the games always have good music.

[Mirby]

Maybe that's what that Alucard game is for... After all, Portrait of Ruin was their 20th Anniversary game; which is why the OST came with the Timeline I posted.

If Alucard will get another game then it's a sure buy for me 

[dragontamer272]

If Alucard will get another game then it's a sure buy for me 

Especially if it's in the battle in 1999?

[Mirby]

That probably won't. Then again, that might be Arikado... *wink wink*

[Rin]

Wait, what? They are going to do a reboot?
NOT SURE IF WANT!

BLARGH!

[Mirby]

And that is my point exactly, Kharaxel.

[Karai]

If Alucard will get another game then it's a sure buy for me 

Kid Dracula 3? Actually, it'd be great as a bonus game in 25th Anniversary CV.

If it's kid dracula 3 then I'd rather play SoTN because I didn't even like the kid dracula games.

[Blackhook]

They were kinda fun, except that part 2 was just a slightly remake of part 1

[Copy X]

I just want to see the new press conference video (not the interview) that apparently has a confirmation that Alucard is in it, that and I just want to see what's new.

The main heading/description has been changed on various sites. This is one of them.

random note: Anyone else besides me enjoyed Lament?

[megatamx]

I enjoyed playing lament of innocence.
EDIT: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/108/1082798p1.html
so I was reading this and I was like O_O

Indeed.

Even more surprising is the previously undisclosed fact that there were in fact a number of prototypes in parallel development competing to continue development as the current generation's Castlevania resurgence. "Konami came to us and said 'Japan is going to pitch, America is going to pitch, and you guys are going to pitch. We'll pick one" to make the series exciting again, Cox told me.

If this is indeed true...then I guess this is the best answer we may get as to the fate of that "Alucard game" from IGA's people.

Ah well!
