Funny thing is that i had a bit of AU crossover story between Past Sins/AoS,DoS in planing stages but my adhd + lack of writing ability pretty much keep it form getting any where out of planing stages.

I’m still waiting for someone to draw Nyx as Soma Cruz.

I mentioned i played 2 castlevania games before LOS1(i was a kid back then), but i think that doesn’t count much as growing with the series because i only played 2 castlevanias.(couldn’t played simphony of the night or others when i was a kid because i wasn’t lucky on my search for them…lazy sometimes).
 
 
about the long time fans you’re right, the more you stick to it, the hard it makes to adapt to the changes. Thankfully, it wasn’t hard for me to enjoy the actual games as the classic ones (i don’t know why, maybe because i had 4 years without playing games back in 2002…maybe).

@RIG
 
Have to agree on that, when i played LOS the only thing that reminded me of the classic castlevanias was the fact that you play as a warrior (belmont) that attacks vampires,trolls,werewolves and other legendary creatures with throwing knives, holy water and a whip, the rest was like a game with another name.
 
But honestly, i don’t care much for the name as long as i enjoy the content itself,but im conscious of the drama this reboot has generated and i guess mercurysteam knows it (they also know about the’‘what is a men’’ meme), and if i were in mercurysteam place, i wont desist and keep making the sequel as long as i and/or somegamer like it (and not a few because i see that many gamers in different languages (Spanish and english) enjoyed the game (Spanish is my native language BTW)) and im very sure it sold well (even the producer said that if LOS2 solds well he will dance in the street,sounds crazy but i think he meant it, it’s a bet he might regret), they also mentioned that LOS2 will be the last LOS game because dave cox (mercurysteam producer) said “We always felt it was our responsibility now but it wouldn’t be ours forever. Let’s do what we’re going to do, tell our story, and move on.” proving that after LOS2 mercurysteam will focus in other game and let konami with the full responsablity to choose what to do with the castlevania series in the future.
 
Besides, castlevania wasn’t very famous if we compare it with many other franchises.
 
And it’s very weird that the mlp episode’‘castle-mania’’ didn’t do much about it like the metal gear reference in ‘‘it’s about time’’.
 

 
 

@magnas27  
it’s more of an issue of what you grew up with one grew up with or played first. It’s good that after playing los and enjoyed the older games. But for those grew up in series the sudden change in setting was to much. That and once again the lake vanina style music really turned the old timeline fan off big time.
 
To add insult to injury. It’s not like they couldn’t have had LOS and let IGA work on his timeline ala marvel comics. So it’s a really sensitive subject for the long time fans.

@SeraphimDawn
 
Your message doesn’t have arguments and/or doesn’t make much sense with what i said on my comment, you obviusly didn’t understand when i talked about the hack and slash/hack and slay style and it’s origins or that Devil may cry (another hack and slash) came before God of war.
 
i also said that i played the classic castlevanias, 2 castlevania games before LOS (rondo of blood(PC) and super castlevania 4(super nintendo))
 

 

 
and other 5 after (simphony of the night(PS1 emulator), aria of sorrow (GB emulator), harmony of dissonance, Dawn of sorrow (NDS emulator), order of ecclesia)
 

 

 

 

 

 
because LOS made want to play the classics in order to understand the castlevania series with much more detail, after all i love classic and new games and im open to many genders and styles of games. Also im playing the fangames ponyvania and castlevania fighter.
 
So you don’t have to show me what a classic castlevania is, i played them, im not sure what makes you think that i need pics accompanied with a poor use of words to learn the difference when you can’t even understand what i clearly said (and i doubt that you will understand this one but…whatever…ill try anyway).
 
maybe i have to add the ‘‘Adventure in the comments’’/’‘drama in the comments’’ tag here…just maybe.

@SeraphimDawn  
As much as i dislike LOS there is one thing i can enjoy.  

 
There version of Simon is pretty BA.(design wise)
 
But with out the exploration, music, and over all atmosphere of the previous titles. LOS is more of new series the reboot.

@magnas27  
Mof feels kinda weird if you as me. I mean yes it’s a 2d pusdometroidvania. But at the same time it’s los in 2d. And despite the combo system. Combat actually feels simpler compared to SOTN,DOS,POR,OOE.
 
Pulse there the lack of catlevanina style music. But that my biggest gripe with the LOS series overall. I love full orchestras but only have a simple version of vampire killer, a remix of waterfall and like 30 seconds of Beginning(thou it was an epic 30 seconds) as the back melody of the last battle in LOS was huge disappointment for me.
 
However I’m willing to give LOS2 the benefit of the doubt with that open world game play.

Classic game

@magnas27  
This is Castlevania.  
 

 
God of War ripoff that shamelessly bears the Castlevania title.  

@magnas27  
whatever, let’s just say the main problem is that doesn’t feel like a castlevania game.

@RIG
 
you should realize of 2 things:
 

one the main problems with los is that it seems to have very little with the series its a reboot of. I’m sure if it weren’t for the castlevanina in the title. One would assume its a new ip. Not a reboot of a long running series.

@magnas27  
2D or semi-3D linear(old-style Castlevania) or Metroidvania of the original canon. Otherwise, it’s NOT Castlevania.

@magnas27  
well…it doesn’t help LOS is a god of war rip off (accept it) and most of the pople has nostalgia for the now dead metroivania genre…

It’s weird the fact that castlevania LOS2 it’s an uncoming game and there’s just a few of fanart about LOS made by bronies, even after the episode Castle-mania (That i haven’t seen yet and i hope to watch it as soon as i can).
 
I hope this helps a little, I can’t wait to play LOS2 it looks badass.
 

Beautiful.

so igavaina meets coxvanina? if it plays like Harmony of Despair then heck ya.

@RIG  
That would appear to be “Harmony of Despair”

what was the name of that game were this actually happened? (no, is not judgement)
