Nintendo Gaming / RE: Casltevania on Cube!?
« on: March 30, 2004, 10:45:28 AM »
The cancelled "Castlevania: Ressurection" for Dreamcast had the same female lead, Sonia Belmont -- Trevor Belmont's mother, and I was really really looking forward to it despite the warped storyline. Silly Igarashi. Castlevania Legends, Sonia's first appearance, had a cool story concept cuz it tells how Sonia hooked up with Alucard to get the Belmont line going. Whatever it was that happened in Lament of Innocence.... "MEH."
sp correction: Rondo of Blood.
Another weird thing, only the N64 Castlevanias had a "real" presence of vampires, especially as regular enemies, and did not have the Metroid level design. Most of the others games were "I am DRACULA, I am THE ONLY VAMPIRE in this castle HAR HAR HAR."
And I do think a remake of Symphony is feasible. It would be another 2.5D sidescroller which all the layers and sprites replaced by highly detailed 3D models w/ bump mapping and shadowing. Since you're using 3D models, you could add cutscenes and possibly replace those multiple instances of horrible voice acting (I admit, they have a place in my heart).
"Die monster!"
"Have at you!"
"No! It cannot be! NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"
"What is it to a man if he gains the world and loses his own soul? Lisa, forgive me. Farewell, my son!"
