    The previous 3D Castlevania games have not been good, but it looks like they're going all out for this one. I'm psyched for this one, looks massive. They even got Captain Picard to narrate, haha thats sweet.

    I look forward to seeing an updated Leon if he's there, if not still cool. I enjoyed C:Lament of Innocence so I hope they did justice to this one as well. Waiting patiently.

    I have never been this excited for a Castlevania game since Aria of Sorrow. It's looking really amazing, can't wait.

    since castlevania symphony of the night. the serie kind of sucked but this one gives good hopes

    did kojima go so far as to add plot-depth to castlevania? i'm stoked about this, and this trailer really shows strides the industry can take to push the envelope to make a game more than flash and pomp. sweet voice acting, story intrigue, and still super-bad-A looking in every way.

    can't wait.

    It's more Devil May Cry than God of War. Promising game.

  • dansicon

    Posted Jul 29, 2009 6:14 pm PT

    I see elements of Rygar, God of War, Shadow of the Colossus in there. Blended together along with the Castlevania setting (which is one of my favorites ever) it could make for one hell of a classic.

    I love hack 'n slash games. Unfortunately the only AAA titles IMO are Ninja Gaiden Sigma and God of War. Hopefully this game and Dantes Inferno will change that.

    Posted Jul 18, 2009 10:50 pm PT

    Wow...Epic Trailer...I actually didn't care too much for the series afta "Simon's Quest"...Glad to see it's gettin' it's much needed and deserved makeover, nice!

    WOW awsome it's sad that koji igarashi no longer is involve with castlevania but it's seens that we will see the last of his work with this game like 2 games in one . I think the name of the hiden game where alucards returns is balad of souls.

  • Unheard-Volume

    OHHHYEA!!! The Fiscal Year of the hack-n-slash button-mashers!!! God War 3, Dante's Inferno, and now this!!! Each one looks amazing....we'll just have to wait and see which one comes out on TOP!!!

    I wish they kept Devil Forging from Curse of Darkness. I thought that was pretty sweet.

    I'm very pleased to see they are finally steering this franchise back towards its roots, especially in the artstyle department. The anime style character design just sucked ever since it came into the picture........at least where the 3D Castlevanias are concerned. I've been saying for the longest time that this franchise needed to go the God of War route.........solid combat engine with great creature designs. I'm glad someone finally figured that out. I guess the pathetic sales of Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness finally convinced the right people. But truthfully, I'm just happy to see this next installment is OUT of the hands of Igarashi. The man needs to stick to his forever recloned Symphony of the Night 2D series, and leave the 3D games to people who know what Castlevania SHOULD be when done in the third dimension.

    Another good trailer, @mimsoo haha yea, the music does sound a little like batman now coming to think of it.

  • mimsoo

    Posted Jun 27, 2009 7:44 am PT

    The part when the masked is showed.. its sounds like Batman Return or Forever Musics!

    I dont like the look of the main character at all... Lame...

  • GOLD_LEADER1

    Posted Jun 25, 2009 8:58 am PT

    I am actually looking forward to this. I think that it may not be shying away from the most important element of Castlevania, which is fun, exciting gameplay. And I believe that this may be a bit more integral to the story of the fight against Dracula than one might originally think.

  • Cubanito1988

    Posted Jun 24, 2009 11:44 am PT

    It looks really good. It does look a bit like good of war, even if castlevenia came out before, the renovations are similar.

    Being a long long time Castlevania fanatic as much as I am intrigued by the trailer...I actually do not like the direction the game is going I am all for new ideas..but from what I've read about the story from various sites and Hideo himself claiming it to be a "reimagining" I am worried that long time Franchise Favorites like Dracula, Alucard, and the Belmont family will be thrown to the wayside...and if that's the case...then this isn't Castlevania it's just a game taking the castlevania title to make money.

    Those who said this is a copy of god of war is stupid....castlevania came out way before god of war. Nice to see a 3D Castlevania, there is so many promising games coming out in 2010, i am starting to save my money now

    a mix of Devil May Cry and God of War both good games looking forward to it

  • Sepewrath

    Posted Jun 11, 2009 6:42 pm PT

    lol why do people act as if God of War was the first hack n slash game ever or the first game to use QTE's? You guys know the only thing original to God of War is Kratos right? Hopefully this turns out to be the first good 3D Castlevania, I have been waiting for one of those for a long time.

    Mostly a god of war Castevania... @mruppel: "People, please stop comparing Castlevania with God of War. This is ridiculous. These are completely different games"

    Is that a joke? It's like saying we can't compare Saint's Row/true crime and GTA since they have different stories... This castlevania is using everything it could from god of war. Not it's not THAT bad since I LOVE god of war games, but a little imagination would be great from times to times too. 2010 is in a long time... PS: No it won't be as epic as MGS4... this game will have a limited story that is mostly using things from SOTN. (revive Maria...). Anyway, I'll still buy it since I want to play this kind of games. looks good but still not a 10, maybe an 8.5.

    People, please stop comparing Castlevania with God of War. This is ridiculous. These are completely different games, with completely different histories, and from completely different producers. Who likes God of War, the third game looks awesome. Who likes Castlevania are hoping so much about this game and I'm certain, will not be disappointed. Period.

  • mruppel2

    This will gona be as epic as Metal Gear Solid 4!
