... stars the series' first ever female protagonist, Shanoa.

Quote from: Erik

Wasn't Sonia Belmont of '98's Castlevania Legends the series' first female protagonist?

Stay your tongue, boy, unless you wish it to be cut out.

Quote from: Erik

And what about Portrait of Ruin's Charlotte?

Well... Um...

What about Sypha, back in Castlevania 3?

Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

What about Yoko in Dawn of Sorrow?

No returning characters except for Dracula.

This is bullshit

Death better be in there

And come on every game should have St Germain in it from now on

Sonia never existed, Sypha wasn't the lead, Carrie wasn't the lead by default, Yoko wasn't the lead, Charlotte shared the lead, and Maria wasn't the lead by default.

But what about Soma?

(lol wicked burn)

I'm less of a character, and more of an institution, really.

The story of my life.

Doesn't look too bad, actually. The grappling beam is a bit, well, you know... but some of the stuff like the Giant Enemy Crab encounter and the bit with the floating crates seem to suggest a return to the more epic set-pieces of Dracula X, rather than just "this rectangular hallway is filled with bigger monsters". Or at least that's what I'd hope, but I'm probably just being optimistic... again.

And even if it's still not the genuine article, at least the faux-Kojima art is a step (or several) up from the lame Dawn of Sorrow and even worse Portrait of Ruin stuff.

Yeah, gotta say i'm a big fan of this not looking like a new show on the Fox Box.

Cannon · « **Reply #12 on:** May 30, 2008, 06:14:44 PM »

How does the box art and such really matter when the gameplay itself is all sprites? Moreover, even minor changes in such a cliche', derivative series as Castlevania are welcome to me.

Ironically, the visual look and "feel" seem the most like Symphony of the Night. Which seems fitting, considering the producer and the story setting that I've heard.

CRAB BATTLE

CRAB BATTLE

Once again, the level design looks to be horridly dull. Best production art the series has seen, though. A combo system on a platformer? No "weapons" to speak of? More features not yet announced?
