Konami has announced that the next installment in the Castlevania series will be coming to the PlayStation 2 this fall. While few details are available, it is known that the project will be headed by Koji Igarashi, producer of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the PlayStation and Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow for the Game Boy Advance. The company also revealed that the game will be on display at this year's E3, which will be held at the Los Angeles Convetion center May 14-16.

So which one would you prefer for Castlevania on PS2 - a 2D scroller with 3D backgrounds like Contra, or a 3D action game like Devil May Cry ??

Good news but im not a fan of the series, but I can always rent.

BTW is this game action/adventure or RPG becuase I saw a thread like this in the RPG forum.

action/adventure =p

Nelo Angelo · Feb 24th, 2003, 04:35 PM

Castlevania is mainly a Action/Adventure game, but there are a few Castlevanias that have RPG elements.

Anyways, nice news. I don't mind if it was 2D or 3D.

ACTION/ADVENTURE and it should be like "DEVIL MAY CRY", PLEASE GOD PLEASE!

Why would you want to take a LEGENDARY series such as Castlevania and turn it into something its not like a Devil May Cry clone? That's almost as bad as if they made it like the N64 games.
If its headed by the guy who was behind SOTN and Harmony of Dissonance I can't wait!

Allrighty then, only know the versions of the nes and the snes but they were all brilliant, kept me hooked from beginning till end ...I'll have a 2-d scroller with 3-d background and stunning visuals please!

I agree with the general consensus - too many classic games have been ruined by the move to a 3D world. The new Defender is one such example - nothing compares to the original.

And what I'm about to say will probably raise a few eyebrows... but.... I think Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine are terrible, terrible games. In comparison to the originals (more specifically the pinacle of the series, Super Mario World), they are ill conceived and just don't feel right (IMO naturally).

I'm all for 3D graphics with 2D gameplay - I have no problem with that, in fact in most cases I prefer it. Take Einhander, R-Type Delta or Contra as examples.

So I say, keep Castlevania 2D!!!!

I am one of the rare ones who actually liked Castlevania 64. :p

I also heard of a new Castlevania coming out on the GBA(

What I meant was make it a fully 3D game, with real time backgrounds and all. I didn't mean to say an Action Packed Game like DMC, but what I DONT want is a 3D game based in a 2D world like new "Contra"....

I'd prefer the first option after hearing what everyone else has said.

rejoice makg its in 3d

Infernal Mass · Apr 23rd, 2003, 04:19 AM

i'm buying it

merylsilverburg · Apr 24th, 2003, 05:44 PM

Yes, I heard it was going to be in 3-D. To me, the Castlevania series is much better off 2-D...I really enjoyed Castlevania: SotN...too bad I couldn't finish it though.

Azuma_Ninja · Apr 25th, 2003, 11:42 PM

I must say I'm disappointed that it's going to be 3D. People need to relize that 3D isn't always the way to go. On the other hand since it's being done by the man responsible for Symphony of the Night I can still have hope.

*Finally my 100th post and who's thread is it on none other than the person that made my cool sig. Thanks Vic

ToxicUK · Apr 26th, 2003, 03:03 PM

My mind is made up on this one... I am definitley buying it.

Wahoo! 3D Castlevania...

Vic Viper · May 12th, 2003, 10:05 AM

It will be called: Castlevania: Lament of Innocence.
