a Time machine into CV series... what do you think?

sorry, I HAD to do a thread for a poll... this is just to crazy... and was curious to see how many of you agree with me...

details of the updates but in short, apparety the 1st DLC is going to bring a time machine to us....

if this is true.... what do you think is Cox and Konami going way to far from the serie to even being call Castlevania...

PLease leave your comments...

I think Cox is trying to one up IGA by including a plot element IGA used before but making it work "right", in accordance to his crazy cox logic. 

Time travel as a plot element is bad for the series, though. Its stupid and shouldn't be used. Bosses who can mess with time are fine because none of them are critical plot elements. 

and thus began the destruction of the Castlevania reboot as we know it.

No seriously what the hell?

No No No No No No lol

I still haven't played LoS so I haven't read any info about it, but for a time machine to be part of the canon I'd have to give a big hell no.

How about a No big deal, this is the 3rd time we've seen time travel in the series option? Or would that be too balanced? I mean seriously, Curse of Darkness, Judgment, and now Lords of Shadow. I've never found time travel as too clashing with Castlevania, I mean time manipulation has been pat of the sereis since day 1, with the stop watch. I'm sure the time machine will be some kind of steampunk alchemy, it won't be a Delorean.jerkofwonder

Curse of Darkness, the time traveling was done by an omnipotent being from the future or whenever called St-Germain, thing is he's a support character and since the first time you meet him its established that he's got this power plus its never used as a central plot point with Hector, its not like at the end he arrived and was all "LOLZ HECTOR I HAZ TIME MACHINE NAO"

Using a time machine in LoS is as dumb as the motorcycle riding skeleton in Castlevania 64. It would've been far better if the time travel would've been done, once more, by a supernatural being.

I highly doubt St. Germain was meant to be omnipotent. And it is still obviuosly magic based, so you really have no argument. As I said it's not a Delorean. Time travel by magical means is perfectly acceptable IMO.jerkofwonder

and IMO its not, we good? Perfect!

Now after this, the second DLC is suppose to happen after the ending...im pessimistic about that. :x oh well ill still get both DLC and see.

@plumma: you remind me of my lil cousin when he DO NOT want something... that was :lol: ... and agree

@jerkofwonder: like arch said, CoD had one character that came to  "play" with you. And lets face it the fact that he could travel and have a time machine did not affected the game at all, had no much to do with the plot, if anything. More important if we are "reborning" the series, why going into the same stuff that we considering so silly/mistake. After all, CoD (as much as I love hector and the ID system) was not exactly a good sample of  a good CV.

Judgment, is a non-canon game even admitted by IGA, and it ahd a time machine, bc it was the only way to explain how all those characters co-existed. It was a way to make a table of character to play with in a CV fighting game.. and as many of the gerne (no that I know much about it, there is a reason why CVJ is the only Cv game I have not being able to complete) the story is a side thing, and main goal of the game, is that you can seat and play it any time in matches (though in CV, did not work as well, due to imbalance)

LoS has a nice story, even thus THAT was the final boss, and with that end (and after the epilogue) has the potential to actually create a whole new universe to introduce belmonts (or whoever may be the lastname Cox wants to use), dracula and so on... but a time machine, sci-fi in a vampire/gothic game DO NOT, SHOULD NOT have room.

Like SEMI said Cox is trying to do some thing that iga did, but doing it "right". 

That said, this is imho.... who knows, I may even like it, but so far I`m crawling in acorner in fear... and..

@Arch and jerkofwonder (i love your nick dude): don`t get trap in the heat of the discussion... everyone is entitle to an opinion. jerkofwonder, do not earn that nick in a bad way, arch has an argument, we are talking about a time machine, we dont know if is magic and nothing much; and it is being made, so far, a main part of teh plot and overall he has a RIGHT to an opinion and any argument he/she wants. Arch responding in a bad matter is as bad as starting it.

BELOW this point honor the friendly enviroment of the union. One that we have kept for almost 5years free of fanboys, disrespect and trolling. Thank you.

@arch: why r you pessimist of the second DLC (and we should pry take this to the LoS:what is next thread :P )...

There's really only one valid question for this. How much energy will it take to time travel?

1.21 GIGAWATTS!?

.....

jerk, don`r go assuming w ehate the game (I even have a sig about t), I`m skeptical about this DLC, but if you read the others thread exc for maybe 1-2 person LoS has recieved a LOT of hype from us... that said.

as long as is not put as a main part of the story, the base for teh DLC... i have no problem, again like I sid one boss in a game, one character is VERY different that the main theme and a "belmont"

and this game is consider a new canon. no a non-canon.

you really cant consider CVJ as a sample for anything.... is a fighting gmae in the CV universe... 

Judgment is a Castlevania game, it counts.jerkofwonder

running out of arguments? 1st only saying "you all hate LoS" (read a lil before assuming anything, this is a thread regarding ONE dlc, take a look at the others thread of LoS, and then come and fill my (our) union with your nonesense) and now...

CVJ counts as a CV game, but you can not really take it as a sample of the gameplay in the CV series... or I guess that if anyone ask "which game of the serie could I try to get an idea of what it is, you would answer CVJ... all the games have their own (or try to have something particular to them) but most (or all of them) have a basic formula, which you could pry divide into old vs new school... but they fit for the most part into an adventure/platform, recently with nice RPG elements.

again, CVJ count as a part of the series, but the time machine was the ONLY waay to make a grid of characters for a fighting game... same as they would have made a racing game... or anything else with a grid.

like Omega said, a magic approach, if done right and no as the center of the game, it may have good results and continue the good work done so far... a sci-fi channel kind of thing, will ruin it for ME.

You are intitle to an opinion, and welcome to have an argument, but I`m getting sick of your actitude in my union, so change it.

enjoy gaming...

@Omega: agree with the magic vs sci-fi.. and yeap, is deathnote :P :lol: agree they KILLED grant.... and my poor simon look like a guy out of a sadism yaoi anime :lol: .. but that is a topic for another day... 

@omega: to my understanding, yes. CVJ is like that. the story is non-canon is just a way of putting those characters together.. but the flashbacka nd such is suppose to be part of it...

that said, our expert on the field (semi) put it as sub-canon (term use by semi, no official by any means), like HoD case, for taht same reason.. a game that is non-canon but give info for canon events on the series.

you can refers to our guide for details

regarding source, i think is on the guide, and if not let us know on the staff meeting thread and we`ll add it.

HELL yea, I`m looking forward to it, specially teh second one and WILL buy both... :P I just being sceptical, bc I don`t want them to damage what it could be the evoluion of CV into 3D/consoles. :)
