As much as I REALLY don't trust konami's castlevania judgment project, I must say it looks pretty decent. It looks to be a blend of Power Stone with some Soul Calibur which(according to gamespot) is easy to pick up and play. Here are some screens:

so yeah, i really hate the fucking design of some of the characters though...
Here is the full roster (14 fighters, 12 if you don't have order of ecclesia which is kind of dissapointing) for those who are curious:
Simon Belmont
Alucard
Trevor Belmont(who acually looks like trevor)
Dracula
Death(WHY THE FUCK DOES HE LOOK LIKE A ROBOT)
Maria Renard
Eric Lecarde(who for some reason looks like an 8 year old)
Carmilla
Golem
Cornell(who looks NOTHING like cornell from legacy of darkness, but its an improvement)
Grant DaNasty
Sypha Belnades
Shanoa(unlocked only by order of ecclesia)
Aeon(also only unlocked by order of ecclesia)
so yeah, what do you guys think?
edit: god damn image shack multi upload, just click on the other screenshots to enlarge them. Sorry XD

any pictures of death floating aorund? i want to see this robo death
and i am sad legion is not playable. that would have been so funny XD!!
-
Screw Trevor. They should've called him Ralph. That's his Japanese name IIRC.
But the serious post:
This is for Wii, right? I won't be getting it then. Too bad, cuz it looks kinda awesome.
-
It looks like a fun game and all (don't really see the Power Stone in this, as power stone was just a roam-around dickfest..) but GOD
the character designs absolutely KILL this for me. Unless you can actually unlock like, classic costumes I won't even bother trying this out.
GOD THEY ARE HORRID
(ps Cornell is just represented as a werewolf, because that is what Cornell was, he just isn't portrayed in any human form whatsoever in this, for some reason)
simon is the only good design
because his latest original designs were pretty homosexual-leathery like this too
all the other ones (even trevor, who is one of the tamest ones, but nowhere as cool as say, his looks in Curse of Darkness) are horrendous
I don't even get why you unlock Aeon with Ecclesia, or who Aeon even is.
I mean, there's a guy in Ecclesia called Aeon, but he's a fat, kinda homosexual cook.

lol thats strange right?! but yeah, the art style is decent but still, its really stupid that the characters dont look like themselves
oh yeah, this is for jester

ROBO DEATH!!!!!!!!!(and yeah, feel free to point and laugh at 15 year old eric)

This would've been cool like 15 years ago when Konami was still making TMNT fighting games and Castlevania was still Castlevania and they could've put Castlevania characters on top of that engine
also is the gameplay just a bunch of dudes whipping each other or are there other weapons (must have cross boomerangs)
Edit: Yay Sypha's a girl (I know Sypha's supposed to be a dude but did anybody actually think Sypha was a guy)
-
sypha isn't meant to be a dude
it's the other way around ragnar people believed sypha was a guy back then
until the ending (ala metroid)
-
simon is the only good design
:confused:

i don't even know what to say to you.
-
maybe if you read THE EXPLANATION
"simon is the only good design
because his latest original designs were pretty homosexual-leathery like this too"
don't just read one line and then take it out of context you asshole
-
sorry man thats all i read and as soon as a i read that i couldn't read anything more from that past.
jsut the fact that anyone can actually like any of these designs at all is beyond me.
edit: also i do realize that its a matter of opinion but god... dear god are these designs terrible...
-
sypha isn't meant to be a dude
it's the other way around ragnar people believed sypha was a guy back then

sorry I got that confused
I always thought Sypha was a girl it just didn't seem like a guy name
I think part of that was because of Captain N? (and maybe the instruction booklet - when will people learn instruction booklets aren't canon????)
Edit: If I was a Japanese parent I'd be very concerned about that picture
-
I acually like Trevor's design the most because it is acually going with the fact that he was wounded after the Dracula fight. The missing eye might be much but his outfit is the same color as in CV3 so i am not complaining too much. I also like Cornell's design as like i said, it is a huge improvement over his previous werewolf design and i also think Dracula's design is decent as well. Everyone other design sucks other than those and Shanoa and Aeon because i really dont think Shanoa looks bad but she does not look like herself and Aeon is a new character(other than the previously mentioned "fat" Aeon from OoE) so you cannot say his design is wrong.
-
You can still say it is lame though.
:)
-
you got a point there...
-
Why the hell did they stick in Maria and not Richter?
-
Richtor is lucky, he didn't have to go through these really bad character designs.
The only thing to make their designs perfect is dildo light-sabers

That is... what, a cross between Kingdom Hearts, gay bikers, and a dominatrix?
Sad, sad, sad...

At least the design is (a little) better than the original (bishi version).
-
true but it just reveals a bit too much....
I don't hate his design, its just average, run of the mill, boring. At least he ain't robo death XD
-
Bet y'all didn't know that Grant was a mummy!!!
And Carmilla's shoes are highly impractical and are going to cut into her calves and Achilles tendons.

The game is out now and I must say, it turned out decently! The fighting engine is fun and hectic but the camera can get in the way at times. Weirdly enough, there is online play that is done better than nintendo with hardly any lag and I belive friend code free! Yes the character art sucks but their move sets are balanced and cool to look at!! So yeah its a great game :D
