I SUPPORT OMG! Street Fighter IV Rocks and it rocks because capcom knew what SF players wanted: The players wanted a Street Fighter game, it's that simple.
If I wouldn't own a PS3, I would buy it only to play this game if it was a "SOTN with HD graphics". And I mean it, LITERARILY. I loved how agile and smooth Alucard was to play in SOTN and how the simple leveling/equipment system worked. No orb collecting soul shit. Stick to the basics konami!
If this game proves to be a 3D animeboobschoolgirlbullsh it failfest with mediocre graphics and a stupid gameplay/character development system then konami is officially using the castlevania franchise the same way as the "Scary Movie"-makers are using theirs, pure business. "Wow our movie proved to be great, now lets do several "scary movies", heck lets even do "epic movies" and forget about quality while we're at it!"
SOTN is hands down one of the best games ever made because of it's core simplicity, great gameplay, stylish/beautiful graphics, great replay value and the list goes on... Actually the greatest thing about the game is that it made me actually play a side-scroller game for as long as i would play a final fantasy game...
The PS2 versions and all other 3d crap that they published is disgraceful and I don't even think of them as castlevania games although it still, sadly, says "castlevania" on the game box... which is nothing else but fail. Only thing that Lament of Ass-essence and Curse of Shitness share in common with SOTN is the character arts. GBA/DS games totally lack the SOTN feeling IMO aswell, bring the dark but beautiful, simple, gothic, action RPG back to life. Please..
Well my point is: Make a 2D castlevania featuring the sword swinging agile Alucard once again and make it right.. oh god make it right.
If I had 10 seconds to say something to the game developers it would be: "Hey fuckballs, with this game you still have
2D works. 3D does not. If we learned a lesson from the N64 version its that Castlevania should not go into 3D. Don't give me Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness or even Judgment. All of these are bad titles, Judgment got bad reviews and its no surprise why. 'Vania 2D sells.
