Ehh, looks okay. I'm still baffled as to why this game is being made and not something that makes sense. Oh well, this is at least a rent for me.

But Maxim without Juste? Sure, Juste isn't unique in any way (except maybe that he's ****ing fast if you spam dashes, slides, kicks, ...) but he's still the main character.

I purposefully omitted Belmonts from my list since a lot of people can't seem to think of anyone besides Belmonts, Dracula, and Alucard.

And what do you know about Vampire blood, maybe it is super blood that cannot be bred out!

One drop blood rule. Hey, it made sense in the old South.

It looks better than I expected it to be and its kinda cool how there can be monsters to distract players. I can only wonder how Konami will balance this out.

I don't like how any shake is just like a button press, they should've thought of something better there, at least react to the directions or strength.

I agree KDR. That is dumb.

Not so rosy impressions
Rmc believes it is a early build. Do you think so?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #155 on:** July 18, 2008, 01:22:53 PM »

Hard to tell, I think to some degree the battles won't be high skill simply because noone has much experience with the game. Camera issues are something that can be rectified throughout the development (a bad game design cannot be fixed easily). The complaint that the characters shouldn't meet each other because of the story falls on deaf ears for me, it's a necessary step for such a game. Still, the game could easily be as lame as Bleach GC. Though "The actual fighting is at least serviceable and responsive, but it’s also uninspired. I never really felt like I was doing anything all that interesting." describes every 3d fighter IMO.

There's no talkback thread as far as I can see, so those of you who only visit the forums may have missed the Igarashi interview.

Yeah, I was wondering what was up with that... kept looking in there to find a associated thread only to turn up empty handed...

I saw it, seemed like he was dodging loads of questions.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #159 on:** August 19, 2008, 03:28:25 AM »

Nah we just wussed out on asking him questions. But I bet that is because we want future interviews right?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #160 on:** August 19, 2008, 09:57:03 AM »

Oh and I hope the DS-Wii unlocks can be reached in other ways, at least the character (14 characters is small enough, locking one away completely would be too much. Could be ignored in a 70+ character roster like KoF but not here). Of course I'll buy OoE but I don't think those who don't (o even don't have a DS) should be left out.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #161 on:** August 20, 2008, 09:00:32 PM »

Some more screenshots

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #162 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:33:22 PM »

Those graphics are quite quite nice. Holy crap.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #163 on:** August 21, 2008, 01:54:01 AM »

The game has been delayed till 2009. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason behind the delay was in order to improve the game after the royal bashing it received at E3.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #164 on:** August 21, 2008, 02:33:16 AM »

That depends on whether Iga can overcome his ego and admit that some basic parts of the game are flawed (especially the low number of standard attacks along with the stupid wiimote use and the FMV supers).

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #165 on:** August 21, 2008, 02:43:50 AM »

This game can have my money if it doesn't play bad.

Supposedly he WAS disappointed with how it played and wasn't too happy with the project.

But again, if the game was delayed till 2009 then I'm sure the bashings and poor impressions made it happen. Hell, don't be surprised if Classic and GC controller support is added.

This might be Konami's biggest Wii project yet, even if its a spin off. They can't afford to mess it up.

I say they should take as long as they need in order to make it work.

Mario · « **Reply #167 on:** August 21, 2008, 11:49:47 AM »

Sorry but Elebits is bigger than a niche spinoff of a dead franchise.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #168 on:** August 21, 2008, 12:11:07 PM »

... AHAHA, haven't seen the DS Castlevania games? PFF dead franchise nothing.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #169 on:** August 21, 2008, 12:47:39 PM »

Strange, I could swear that I posted a comment about how they should not drop the Wiimote (as GC and classic controller support would imply) but instead design the game to make better use of it.

Better use of it by using motion plus? I'd be cool with that.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #171 on:** August 21, 2008, 03:10:32 PM »

Not even necessarily that, there's a lot of things that can be done even without MP that go beyond making "move the wiimote" act as a button.

Not saying they should drop the Wii controls, but I do expect Konami implementing classic controls just to please some people who thought the game was too much waggle.

And yes, if Castlevania is a dead franchise, Megaman, Mario, Zelda, Pac-Man etc. must be on life support.

The side scrolling games continue to sell and gather INCREDIBLE reviews from fans and the media. If the franchise is dead no one didn't notice.

Those screenshots revealed a new playable character. Aeon?

Like No More Heroes.

Yes Adrock it does show that.
I really like the shot with Maria and the Tiger,Dragon and Phoenix.
