BTW, isn't Trailer's music great? Is a lot more soundtrack type, similar to The Dark Knight, fantastic, epic, big, not minor chorded organ riffs, this is a great epic sentimental ST.Ajserverus
I actually think the music is very generic.

And I will repeat, if you don't like, keep waiting the castlevania Japan AlucardVania, sure it will come 2011; but I'm sure, that you will buy this game, not matter how much do you like it :PAjserverus
You're right about that - I'll definitely buy it, if only to find out if it's good or not. I just hope this trailer isn't representative of the entire game...

So you're saying it looks like GoW because the whip is on fire? and just HOW LONG has castlevania had flaming whips? earliest I can remember was SotN, but I wasn't a big CV player before that. I'd also like to point out than at one point in the trailer the whip also gives off a freezing mist when he swings it.D3j1k0
There were no whips in SotN. CotM had it though.

and how was it a horrible trailer? unless you're talking about the one released before they added the castlevania part to the title, I disagree.D3j1k0
It's a fantastic trailer, it's just that it's a horrible Castlevania trailer.

It looks like God of War because of Gabriel's weapon. He's got a whip, a fairly long-ranged weapon - just like Kratos' Blades of Chaos. Furthermore, he swings it in a very similar way to Kratos, and both characters' weapons are on fire. To top it off, some enemies look kinda like creatures out of GoW.

I do hope the game will turn out good, but my first impressions(horrible trailer + Kojima, whose games I hate + unexperienced studio) are not good at all.

God of War and Devil May Cry do indeed have excellent gameplay, but they're also very different from Castlevania. This is comparable to making a 3D Metroid with Gears of War gameplay.

If rebirth means removing all the Castlevania and replacing it with equal amounts of God of War and Devil May Cry, I don't want a rebirth.

2. the usual formula DID NOT work for 3D CV, we have proof of that.chang_1910
But it can work. Take Metroid Prime, make it third person, replace the shooting with melee combat, put in a lot of weapons and slap on a Castlevania skin - done.

@Conver: I'm not negative because of who aren't working on it(well, maybe a little), but because of who are.

Next up, my issue is how they introduced the game. Castlevania games have this atmosphere, this elegant beauty in the most recent games. Order of Ecclesia was introduced with an excellent intro movie, really beautiful.

This one is introduced with a bit of art and then BOOM LOOK ACTION VIOLENCE ADVENTURE and lets ignore all of the level design and details and diversity in favor of DEUS EX MACHINA CROSS THAT IS A WHIP AND NOW IT IS A HUEG HAMMER.

Give me a better trailer that shows off in game levels and diversity in the mechanics, and I'll say good things. Until then, no.semianonymous

I definitely agree with this. God of War is about violence and brutality, Devil May Cry is about coolness and style, and Castlevania is about dark, gothic beauty. I'd prefer if it stayed that way.

Yeah, and the team that's working on it have developed nothing but a mediocre FPS and an ok action-adventure. And they are supported by a dude whose games I hate. Terrific. I'm really looking forward to this.

I've been more interested in finding out what IGA's been up to, actually. I've done what I can, its waiting time now.semianonymous
Me too. I'm thinking since this is a 3D game, there's a chance that they'll allow IGA to take a risk with a 2D console game.

@ice: how can you say that, that god among men made metal gear solid.HushRong
I've played MGS2 and the demo for Portable Ops, and playing them was like torturing myself. How those pieces of **** got so high scores is beyond me.

It looks exactly like God of War, albeit with a kinda Castlevania-ish skin. It is also being made by Kojima, whose games I despise.

Not. Excited.
