The Official E3 thread. UPDATED: Konami Conf. NEW Trailers UP.

as the picture shows, our good buddy alucard is currently a close second to solid snake as the most popular konami character... :roll:

head on over to the virtual konami booth and vote for him!

OoE and CV:J gameplay

The guy playing sucks

Anyone watching GS live now? They are showing Judgement. WTH the logo for the title look awful.:|Wanderer5

Yeah, the logo looks weird. They should just have kept the old one, which is awesome. Too bad we didn't get to know anything new about the game tho... maybe at the Konami conference later?

shoot I missed it for an hour.. :(

KONAMI live BLOG in kotaku.com GO HERE

In the following post you can read ALL the CV related part from the blog, which would also be available as a replay in kotaku.com. Below I have point out the MOST important points from kotaku live blog as well as some points made by Semi.

Castlevania: Order of Eclessia.

* NEW Trailer. (stay tune, this would be posted as soon as found online)

"I shall be the sword that clears away evil" -shoana
"Wait, Shoana, you don;t know anything" -albus
"Shoana, you are my only hope" -Barlowe

Trailer ends by "We hear Dracula's voice saying "You danced well, woman. Now, shall we go for the finale?"

* Trailer show C/assic Castlevania: Art, Music and attacks. BEATIFULL. Excellent new animation.

* Playable in teh floors.

Castlevania: Judgement.

* IGA do not consider it a 3D fighting game but a "3D versus action game"

* Confirmed for Fall 2008

* Confirmed to have 14 playable characters, IGA just confirmed the 4 already know (Four announced: Alucard, Simon, Maria and Dracula)

* Controllers: Z button guards or blocks, and C button jumps; Shake the nunchuk to dodge. B button is attack. Shake the nunchuk while pressing B for a strong attack. Holding A + B you can use environmental objects (e.g. candlestands) to attack the enemy. (Simon was used to show this movements).

* IGA gave reason on why he went for a fighting game: "Iga's now sayig he made a 3d vs action game because when people requested a Wii whip castlevannia game, he thought whipping the Wii remote for an hour in a traditional action game would be too tiring."

* Belmont Crush attacks showed (Simon`s 99 hits) Special attack would need TIMING.

Blue guage = max it out, press down, do special attack
timing must be perfect

* Music (from SotN), art and voice acting looks great.

Semi lets us know that:

ALUCARD HAS OLD VOICE, not sure, may be new
Maria has DXC voice
Simons 99 hit is awesome
Dracula has DXC voice
Simon has Richters DXC voice

* Timeline explained: "The timeline goes over 1000s of years as Dracula fights the "forces of good," Iga is saying. There is a character trying to destroy that timeline, and due to magical forces, characters from different periods are brought together to battle."

* Difference between stages:
- NPC's that attack, candles not in all levels, zombie environments(the last one would be available in a demo)

That is all... Enjoy... We will bring updates .. stay tune...

2:49 Leigh Alexander - Now he's bringing up Igarashi who's come from Japan to show highlights from Castlevania: Judgment and demoing the title for the first time in North America.

I`ll put the whole script and then would edit my 1st post of this section with IMPOrtant/ new stuff....

2:51 Leigh Alexander - Her name is Shanoa, and there's a guy named Albus too. Another guy is Barlowe.
2:51 Leigh Alexander - Shanoa's hot, Albus is handsom and Barlowe is old.
2:52 Leigh Alexander - Now she's beating skeletons and stuff. You can see the enemy's name inn the bottom.
2:52 Leigh Alexander - Dudes, this is ****c Castlevania at its loveliest. Get excited.
2:52 Leigh Alexander - The music is gothic rock, of course.
2:52 Leigh Alexander - The music is gothic rock, of course.

Castlevania Judgement.. now...

Leigh Alexander - Iga said he knows the gameplay is different from what fans are used to, but he promised you will see many similarities to what you love. He hopes we all give it a try.

Now... SH ... (this would not be post here.. sorry guys/gals)

sorry Semi.. I moved your post bc it was in the middle of the blog from kotaku...

A character is trying to destroy timeline

Lots of characters come together to stop that

Simons combos are cool
use both to fight, obviously
Subweapons: game is no differnt
subweapons on left of screen
song is SotN entrace remix, I can confirm that. sounds great
he made it to not get tired, he feels whipping would be "torturous"

hold A+B = candlestick weapon, simon throws
heh, alucard is almost dead
Blue guage = max it out, press down, do special attack

semianonymous

Watched gamestop's livefeed. The OoE trailer is based around the new shots that just came out, btw. Judgment voices are clones of DXC, save for Alucard. Simon has richters, down to "I'm a Belmont, thats my job". Dracula also has his "Enough of this!"

And yes, all are very pretty, and sound great.

Judgment gameplay, shows 99 hits

nice... NICE... and maria is actually pretty sweet... :P

....

@Ice: sadly.. when they tend to say 14 playable character that is the total... Thus I hope I`m wrong and they are not including the unlockables, just talking about the roster open from start. Then again, I doubt this :(

We better no put our hopes high in amount of characters...

... agree.. that fire thing was pretty cool.. as well as the purple attack from the air...

the conference is HERE, includes CV trailers!!!! to watch...

enjoy..

EDIT:

Order of Eclessia: 7:46

(those new glyph looks AWESOME.. and OMG!!! did she transform into a black panter?!?!? :shock: SWEET!!! and into a Succubus/Vampress?? EVEN MORE SWEET!!! (mins 9:11 and min 9:08)

Judgement: 11:22

OMG.. dude.. this tarilers look SWEET.. specially the one on OoE... AWESOME GLYPH!!! so excited..

the one on judgement show really great music.. and nice animation...

Only down is the amount of characters.. I mean they announce include 22 years of histtory and only 14 character :? that would make it lose points... and it would be a let down for us, the fans.. imo. That said the game looks pretty cool.

.. Now.. I`m gonna watch the SH part of the conf. :P

Oh.. and btw IGA.. taht is a fighting game, no matter how you called it :P.. it would have being cool to include some "adventure" SSBB sty/e or something like that... but oh well...

@Chang

We didn't know about Subspace in SSBB until after the second trailer. Be patient, we'll get something

Info from OoE Trailer:

Boss: Sand Shark (name not confirmed), seems similar to Rahab (DoS) in some ways
Song playing, of course, if a boss song, no doubt.
Hammer Shaker = Hammer from SotN
New glyph, seems to be a biting...thing. Might be sand shark glyph
New Lizard man sprite
Medusa Head confirmed to be glyph, destroys upon contact
New thunder glyph Union? Definately the same glyph. Union is a ball of electricity
New fire glyph, crush is a flaming sword
New wind glyph Union, blades of wind protect Shoana
Possible ghost union: Balls of dark energy appear, last for unknown amount of time
Crash for scythe weapon, large axe thing. Confirmed not to be Secare
Some sort of Ice glyph crash, surrounded by a whirlwind of ice particles
Transformation shown, I'm thinking its a succubus
Transformation into a hell cat thing
New Glyph: "Radiance". Same glyph as light glyph, regular seems to start with a small ball of light
New boss: Maneater shown, name confirmed, is awesome
New boss: Mermaid thing
That skeleton doll thing is really flexible
New Union: A flying ball of fire with a tail
New Union: A flying ball of ice with a tail
Mermaid has a really powerful waterfall attack, no seeming way to avoid
Dracula has an excellent voice actor, same as DXC
Some lag, making it hard to watch. Rewind skips way too far as well. Expect better details later

true...

and I send a PM to members about the trailer.. was so excited that I forgotto put that was from CUU... :lol:

CV:J trailer notes
New music, can't place it
Voices are hopefully temporary, we'll see
Dracula EXTREMELY powerful, is going to be a total tank
I -think- thats a new alucard, but it sounds similar to DXC Alucard. Most likely temporary
Alucard very powerful
Maria looks quite fast as well
Dracula and Alucard teleport
Alucard's final move is awesome
Draculas Final move seems to be a massive explosion

reeeeally laggy, I need a pretty download

Medusa Head confirmed to be glyph, destroys upon contactsemianonymous

which make me happy... I love teh medusa stuff... :)

New wind glyph Union, blades of wind protect Shoanasemianonymous

which looks pretty sweet... :P

Transformation shown, I'm thinking its a succubus
Transformation into a hell cat thingsemianonymous

Isn`t a black panter?? looks awesome eitherway.. :D:D

BTW: why you had so much lag?? Try leaving it upload.. I dd not ahd any lag... :?

Oh man, I what Order of Ecclesia so bad!MagnuzGuerra

HELL YEA!!! :D:D FALL would be a GOOD time for videogames.. and a GREAT one for CV fans :P

@Omega: like I said before... I would not get my hopes too high about more character... but.. I may be wrong :) and yes, I have to admit the game looks pretty good. If I liked fighting games (YES Iga it is one) I would have being quite excited by now.

Pikmin 3 just got confirmed, excellentsemianonymous

I should pry try one of those...

....

Horror games got my attention... now dead rising is coming to the wii...

GREAT time to be a horror fan (my pockets pry do not agree)

RE5

SH: homecomming

Siren

Fatal Frame 4 (if it comes this year to NA)

Dead Rising

Dead Space

I am ALive (maybe... no so horror atm)

:D

yeah, OoE looks terrific...the sprites look beautifu along with everything else. prolly most people wil be more into/comfortable with OoE compared to judgemnt since CVJ is all new frontier compared to original stuff.

an Judgement looks great as well...they just need to expand that roster a wee bit

Moar delicious OoE videos

Strange new puzzle, revolving around endlessly spawning boxes

Shoana doesn't seem to float in the air when killed, thankfully

Confodore glyph shown, finally

Monastary music is a little slower, I think

OoE Trailer is now on youtube, no more dealing with Konami's show to see it

Gametrailers has Judgment walkthrough, trailer

Even more Judgment gameplay

So I'm pretty sure Alucard used Soul Steal at one point

So apparently, you poor outsiders aren't getting 3 seconds of IGN's videos, including the shot of Shoana dying. I, being the merciful insider that I am, have uploaded the videos on youtube. Enjoy

I lol'd when I saw the new name for the skeleton dancer...skeleton frisky XD

and OMFG! a transformation that is actually useful in combat!?

AWESOME glyphs... I've always wanted to play as a succubus... man, if OoE is half as good as it looks, it'll blow away all the other CV games NO EXCEPTION(yes, that means SotN too) as well as all other DS games... I want it now!!!

Delving into Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia's backstory

a great preview article via Siliconera website. gives basic story information (which sounds very cool), artwork and combat details, and hints that the game will be released in OCTOBER!

Their pulling that date out of their ass. There is no way that that one site would have information that no one else got, and trust me, were that true, everyone would have that on their site. As it is, they just wanted a time that sounds better than "some time this fall"

They also say you can equip to A. You can't. A is switch equipment.

Furthermore, Albus can Teleport. Just thought that was cool

Anyone else looking forward to Megaman 9? Finally an old-school Megaman game! The music is old-school, NES-style too, and man, it's gonna be awesome! And I won't even have to step outside my home to get it, I can just purchase some Wii-points online.

Oh, and the guy on E3 just pronounced OoE "Ecclelsia".

So apparently, you poor outsiders aren't getting 3 seconds of IGN's videos, including the shot of Shoana dying. I, being the merciful insider that I am, have uploaded the videos on youtube. Enjoy semianonymous

and that is why I like you so much :P ... Thx :D

I lol'd when I saw the new name for the skeleton dancer...skeleton frisky XD

and OMFG! a transformation that is actually useful in combat!?

D3j1k0

actually 2 of them :shock: .... min 9:08 and 9:11 .. :D

AWESOME glyphs... I've always wanted to play as a succubus... man, if OoE is half as good as it looks, it'll blow away all the other CV games NO EXCEPTION(yes, that means SotN too) as well as all other DS games... I want it now!!! Icemael

I KNOW!!! about better than SotN.. lets see... is looking GREAT so far... but it has too not just be great, but be long and have a GREAT addition to the story of CV to take taht throne... imo :oops:

@Kappa: thx.. :).. I wish October were the release date.. that`ll be GREAT.. We can still hope, thus I`m still going for Nov.

@Semi: Teleport.... :shock: that is new.. and SWEET!!! .. just like dracula.... hmmmm..... (btw: how you know.. from the trailer... min? I want to see that :P )

@Ice: yea.. I do not know If I`ll get it right away... I have too many unfinish games atm... but defenetely liked the news.

:lol: about Ecclelsia :lol:

@DJ: ... sorry.... I do not actually care much about Pikmin neither... sorry you do not got your series back... yet

Ugh I just miss OoE on GS Live.:x But Judgement is looking good. Alucard just got owned by Simon.:P

They just confirmed no alternate outfits for Judgment, which means no classic look... me sad...Icemael

wow.. yuo are fast... you beat me.. :lol: and yea...

Also..

1. Iga says that you would be able to "add" to characters, but detail would be reveal later.

2. NO leveling up (no surprise there)
