I have not played a 3D Castlevania game, and it will take more than Kojima having small involvement to get me to start. I love the 2D ones too much to taint them with polygons.

They're totally different types of games, and really can't be compared. And MGS2, while good, was not nearly the best with that fucked up storyline that made no sense until MGS4 came along and tied up the loose ends.
Eh, 2D Castlevania games are action side scrollers, where as MGS games are stealth based. Kinda like compairing apples to oranges. Or apples to chunks of lead even.Indigo_Dingo said:
My roommate and I were talking about this yesterday when I mentioned that Kojima was working on the new Castlevania.
"Huh, guess it's going to be a stealth based Castlevania."
"Yeah, just like..."
"...Boktai."
I guess you'll have to charge your cross... weapon... thing with sunlight.

When I said cunks of lead I didn't mean to say that MGS is bad, just that it's very different than Castlevania. And two such different things are hard to compair.Indigo_Dingo said:
Castlevania's a damn classic series.
Well, I don't know wheter this is such a bad thing. Remember, Miyamoto also had a similar role during the development of Metroid Prime, and that game turned out fantastic.HardRockSamurai said:

Regardless, I'm interested in how much Kojima can bring to this franchise. He has a very... eh... unique touch that I'm not sure will be welcome be most fans of the franchise.
Of course, most fans of the franchise don't play the 3-D ones, anyway.

1. Aren't there OTHER pictures of Kojima you could use? It's actually starting to get really creepy instead of funny...
2. Being a fan of Kojima productions since Policenauts it's good to see he decided to work on a project that isn't Metal Gear. (I love MGS it just seems like it's going into a milking phase.)
3. I'm was interested in Castevania when I saw the PS1 games in the playstation store. I'm be buying those as well as the new one now.
4. WHERE'S MY ZoE3!?

I fear that picture like I fear little else.
Just a note here, I see a lot of "3D Castlevania is bad" thoughts floating around here: Curse of Darkness is possibly one of the best games I've played. Now I can understand that it isn't a "real" Castlevania game since you don't use a bondage tool as a weapon, but I've played most of them (all except for the Wii and N64 titles, I believe) and I honestly prefer the Innocent Devil system with upgradable, buildable weapons. The whip is innovative, interesting and was great at the time, but the Innocent Devils are just more fun and the Force Gloves set off an atomic explosion. What the hell else do you want? You can even breakdance using the damn things! They're like Beowulf, except you don't have to fight a giant rat to get them! (Beowulf is basically tied with Nevan and the Force Gloves in the "Most Awesome Weapon I Have Ever Used In A Game" category.)
Sorry, I really love the Force Gloves. I basically exclusively use axe types (so I can get Death's Scythe) and gauntlet types (so I can get the Force Gloves) in that game.

Personally, I disliked them because I found they were easy, tedious, boring, short and added nothing new or i nteresting to the series' continuity. Aside from pushing it into a far more "Zelda" direction with upgrades and such.RagnorakTres said:
Not that I'm a purist or anything, I just found the franchise started to lose itself around it's early "metroid-vania" stages.
I like my "Castlevania" more action and less grinding, please.
I've been waiting for a game that looks & plays like that for ages (ever since the first Devil May Cry came out to be precise). But I probably won't play it, cuz I've all but lost my connection with consoles ever since I left Japan.
