  Looks interesting…

  …but you should know the guy who made the Castlevania games left Konami a while ago. He makes the Bloodstained games with a different publisher. So it’s a new IP but it’s basically the same thing. And they have a new one coming out. The first one, Ritual of the Night, was a spiritual successor to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. They also made a handful of 8-bit games in the IP to satisfy the old-school crowd.

  So there are basically no “real” Castlevania games. If it uses the Castlevania name, the creator isn’t involved. If he is, it’s called Bloodstained and not Castlevania.

    Iga was not the creator of castlevania. He was the creator of SotN and later games.

      It certainly feels like the beginning of that franchise.

    Koji Igarashi was responsible for the “Metroidvania” style, but was not the creator of Castlevania. He worked on the series from Symphony of the Night and through the NDS games. There were games in the series both before his involvement and after.

    Iga’s great, but Castlevania is still Castlevania without his influence.

    Oh thank God! After watching the trailer and seeing only the PS5 logo, I was staying to feel real bummed.

  Must be thrilling for Motion Twin to get to work on this. They earned it, TBH. All the power to them.

  Big Castlevania fan, but Konami can’t get bent after the way they treated gamers and devs in 2015. Never again.

  Gonna be honest here. This, was the most interesting part of the State of Play.

  And I don’t even play side scrollers.

  Trevor name dropped, but protagonist looks like Sonya – am confused!

  Excited for a new castlevania game, but skeptical of these developers. I didn’t like Dead Cells.

  It is not doing anything for me. The art style is meh.

• neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I’m not a fan of the art style to be honest

  • Feyd@programming.dev ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I don’t dislike that art style in other games but nothing about that trailer gave me castlevania vibes

    source

    • neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yeah, it is too bright.

    That’s exactly what I was thinking, glad I saw your comment before making pretty much the same one. Granted, I also didn’t like the 3-D but 2-D style of Bloodstained, but this is orders of magnitude worse based on that youtube vid.

    Granted, the graphics aren’t the main draw to this type of Metroidvania, so long as the gameplay is good, I’ll be happy enough. But, I have serious reservations about the thought process that went into the approval of this design. I’m not usually so opinionated, so it has to the pretty awful for me to call it as much.

      I agree with your opinion about bloodstained. I played it a bit recently, and I think that 3d/2d style is pretty horrendous.

      I think it is done to save cost as it is easier to make a game with 3d models than it is to use 2d sprites.

  I hope this isn’t PlayStation exclusive. I know most of the Castlevania stuff has been released on PC too, but there was Castlevania: Requiem that we didn’t get on PC.

  Helllllll yeah

  Animation and sound design reminds me of blasphemous and moonscars, which are games I like, but I wouldn’t say feel very castlevania-y

  Cool when can I get this on steam?
