^^^that's the thing. I think most people in this thread haven't played Castlevania in years. The series has had constant updates and most of them are on point. (I wasn't a fan of Curse of Darkness) So I'm confident this game will be the shit.

Besides ...if anyone hasn't played Lament of Innocence it's highly recommended.

they should be aware of that, though. its like how sf4 dropped, they had to take it back in certain ways.

of course everyone didnt play every castlevania. i mean at some point life calls. but if this is going to be a huge release people will probably look at it as the return of castlevania and if its veered too much from the peoples understanding of it than it might not be received well with the die hard old school castlevania fans, but maybe they dont matter.

i wanna hit a bat with a ball and chain and see him turn into a floating heart

or hit dracula with some shit and he starts blinking lol
thats that nes shit , ill never get what i want in that sense though so i just hope its a good game

If people are pissed off that this castlevania isnt some 2-d sidescroller then they need to jus stick wit' the older ones lol.. Seriously, who releases 2d sidescrollers anymore as a blockbuster video game? maybe dlc or something..

Seems like a solid game. I thought it was going to be a GOTY candidate, but I now doubt that. There is no way it is going to win GOTY when you have Mass Effect 2, Red Dead, Halo Reach, etc. I'm picking mine up on release date, just don't know when I'll be able to play.
