And talking about this game standing up to SOTN... given the fact it's not 2D, there would be no fair comparisson in between. As far as I've heard this game will not have the level-up feature SOTN does, however, I do not think a game is better or worse just because it has leveling up or not, it really depends on the game itself, and there are many games which are good enough as not to need that feature.

The only game, I think, that could be done in order to be compared, and then surpass SOTN, would be a game with high-resolution/definition sprites, blended with 3D backgrounds. Pretty much what SOTN was, but with a definition much better than SOTN, using PS2's power, plus, maybe, some zoom-ins in certain secuences, or something like that, and maybe even having some CG's anime-style when about to confront a boss. Then of course, keep all otehr elements of SOTN's gameplay.

And hell, being able to play with Alucard again

Now that I think about it, would it not be cool to play as Dracula himself, against some other kind of evil, in the after-life? Trying to redeem himself for his atrocities?

Just letting a little bit of my imagination go out :B
