i think that the graphics in the game look good, altough i still wish that it would stay 3d but what can u do. Looks like another version of devil may cry.

This game may depend on its gameplay, because the screenshots I saw are pretty crappy. Well didn't impress me atleast......I was expecting some really great. They were more like first generation 3D game.

First of all, don't even compare this game to Devil May Cry. Capcom tried to beat Konami to the punch by making a Castlevania clone gone 3d with classic 2d gameplay on purpose and that part is obvious...but nothing stands up to the legend of the real Castlevania. The fact that Konami has waited until now and shown no concern while riding happily along with their ingenious Gameboy Advance titles shows me that they must have a monster up their sleeve.
Btw, seems like a small amount of items to collect in tthe game compared to SYmphony of the Night. If you ever looked at a FAQ for that game and saw the ridiculous number of special abilities and ways all those items could effect your attributes and different special abilities you could perform with each one...well it was insane! And I loved it! Hope you can collect more items in the final version and also I hope you can equip/de-equip them effecting yout int/luck/strength/etc.... and be able to level up and all that rpg style stuff that made SOTN so great! Man, I am almost more excited about this game than SH3! _RED_ stuff

Speaking of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which is probably the game of the series everybody has been holding castlevania games up to since, I pose this question:
What do you think this new Castlevania title needs to stand up to SOTN and perhaps even surpass it? WHat elements are necassary? _RED_ stuff

I know there are a lot of MGS fans here, but a ps2 Castlevania would rock compared to another MGS clone. This bears looking forward to!!

I was looking at the box for Aria of Sorrow, the latest GBA Castlevania title and it sounds the most like SOTN out of the games since so far. I'm gonna try to find a used copy next time I'm out. Even if they don't quite have that same feel of sotn in the PS2 version, atleast hopefually they can only improve on that idea on the GBA (provided they keep making castlevania titles for it) without being distracted by the lure of wanting to go 3d.
I have not completely lost faith in Lament of Innocence simply becuz it's gone some kind of 3d route, yet. Rygar, for example worked out fine that way. It's the RPG elements, like I said, that I want to demand from Konami to make sure they are in there. We should sign a petition and send it to them and if it pushes game development back a little, it might even be worth the wait, IMO! BUt who knows, maybe they're already in there. THat's not a very detailed preview up there. Hey remember the sword/ sheild combinations with Alucard? those were awesome! I liked the nude women that would appear as you cast the spells Actually, as much as MGS is a great series, I have always liked Castlevania much much more. _RED_ stuff

Hey Viper, I... I... I love you.
I was expecting the next Castlevania to be side scrolling though... but I will definitely buy it with no hesitations whatsoever.

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
