Trevor never had armor in CV3, he only got the leather armor in Curse of Darkness on PS2 and that's a sequel where his design is supposed to be different.

Also his outfit and color palette are literally based on the sprite, down to the cape.

>>383485668
I was talking about his design here, which seemed to be a cleaned up version of his armor in CV3

They went for a design that's like a mix between his original sprite and Ayami Kojima redraw in this and personally I don't blame them. I really don't like the non-Kojima CV designs.
The shitty Lugosi Dracula, Alucard aka Lugosi Dracula 2.0, Sypha being a palette swap of White Mage from Final Fantasy 1 and Trevor being a barely altered CV1 Simon sprite (pic related).

tl;dr I've got not complaints about designs because Sypha is 1:1 spot on down to even including a wink at the American manual mistranslation saying she's a man (in this they made her hair short and Trevor says she's dressed like male members of the Speakers), Alucard is literally just his SotN design but unbuttoned (and actually shirtless ala Lords of Shadow 2 Alucard in the scene where he faces Dracula earlier on) and Trevor is "close enough" with just enough artistic liberties taken so he doesn't look like Conan the Barbarian knockoff from the original. Not to mention Simon should be the one looking like Conan anyway.

>>383485801
for me Trevor and Simon always were more like huge dudes a la Conan that defeats evil with pure brute force. Later on the Belmonts got more refined. That is only thing about this new Trevor I dont like that much but since this the only way to make it work Im fine with it.

>>383486503
Simon will have the Conan look if they get to do CV1 adaptation, they said that if this does well they want to do CV1 next, Simon being Trevor's grandson and whatnot so it ties storywise.
After that I assume they'd go with Rondo and then SotN for similar story connection reasons.
But really I doubt they'd make Simon into anything but Conan the Barbarian considering even Ayami Kojima's redesign of him is still Conan, just more bishie.

>>383486886
In the next 8 chapters they are going to continue this story line. There is no plans to adapt the other Castlevanias.

>>383484514
Which Castlevanias are worth playing, mr diehard fan?
And do i need to play them in release order?

>>383487103
Wrong nigger, first of all the 2018 stuff is still part of this season, it's not actually Season 2. They just split it to gauge interest.
Secondly, this shit isn't even episodes, it's 3 movies split into episodes. Ellis wrote this as a movie trilogy and that's how it's also produced, he went to Netflix for more money to finish the project and they demanded it be cut up into episodes so that's what happened, the first movie (the one which was confirmed to not have Grant in it) become Episodes 1-4. Episodes 5-12 are just Movies 2 and 3 respectively.
Anyway Ellis explicitly said he wants to do CV1 after CV3, do your research you cumstain.

>>383484514
I'm still amazed that an US studio can make something that looks like Ninja Scroll with that budget.

>>383487174
Well I feel theres 2 types of Castlevanias

The classic series is all good, while some swear by CV2, I personally don't like it and recommend to skip. But CV 1,3,4, Bloodlines and Rondo of Blood especially are all amazing games that deserve some attention

If you want a more metroid type game, try Symphony of the Night and all the other games that released after that.

>>383487270
>in 2030 we may be able to see Hydro Storm animated in a Rondo of Blood adaptation

That'd be sweet.

>>383487270
Suuure budy. The have a lot of plans since 2015. And that shit already changed a lot since the original script. They are going to continue with this story line. Why people is so dumb is beyond me.

>>383487312

>US Studio

Everyone keeps thinking the show is American animated. It's fucking Korean, the same studio as Korra.

>>383487558
Korra is US animation, that is why is so good if you compared with japan trash.

>>383487174
Lords of Shadow 1-2

>>383487685
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_Mir

>>383487174
Most of them, and no you don't.
Anyway they're divided into "Classicvanias" and "Metroidvanias". Classicvanias are based on player lives, platforming with death pits and whatnot on scrolling stages.
Metroidvanias are the exploration focused ones with no fall damage/death pits with RPG elements.

If you don't mind objectively dated mechanics but want to see how it all began, go with Castlevania 1 and Castlevania 3 on NES.
For Castlevania 3, search for the fantranslation of Akumajou Densetsu, the Japanese version of the game, because it has much better music, isn't censored and the gameplay isn't butchered like in the US version.

Then you can move on to SNES with Super Castlevania 4 (which is a reimagining of Castlevania 1, not really a remake though since it changes A LOT) as well as Dracula X, a non-canon game made by Konami of America rather than the Japanese studio, but still very solid and one of the best games on SNES period.

Then you've got Rondo of Blood on PC Engine (also known as TurboGrafx-16 in Murrika, it was called PC Engine in Nippon and Yurop) which is arguably the peak of the Classicvania genre. You'd need to track down a fantranslation and PC Engine emulator, but it's also included fully officially translated in the PSP collection "Dracula X Chronicles", I'll get to that later.

And then there's Bloodlines on SEGA Genesis, another great Classicvania.

Then you've got a remake of CV1 (more faithful than CV4, but still with a lot of changes) on PS1, Castlevania Chronicles which has 2 modes. One is more faithful and the other is more heavily remixed.

Lastly there's Adventure Rebirth on Wii, a remake of an old GameBoy entry in the series, called CV Adventure. Amazing game.

All there are Classicvanias, Metroidvanias next post.

>>383487557
You're so fucking retarded it hurts because nothing changed, the script in this one is still the original Warren Ellis script from 2007, untouched. Confirmed multiple times. It's even got IGA's approval.

>>383484514

Nice 18th century coat to wear in 1456! Totally doesn't look out of place.

>>383487685
Literally most of Japanese animation since mid 00s is actually done in Korea and Philipines, you're a moron.
This is just as much anime as most modern anime. It doesn't even quality as American from Writer/Director/Voice Cast perspective since they're all British aside from Sypha's VA who is Latino.

Again dude, keep dreaming with that CV1 adaptation.

Remember when Trevor got the shit kicked out of him by a gay vampire?

>>383487174
Super Castlevania 4 and Symphony of the Night are great starting points.

>>383487174
Anything before SOTN

Are they gonna acknowledge Devil Forgemasters are a thing?
I hope they do, even if really, Trevor and his crew never fought either IIRC

>>383488561
>Super Castlevania 4

I started with 4, found it super boring, then put off the series entirely. It was only after coming back to it with other games that I gave it a proper going.

4 is so slow and boring I have no clue why people like it.

>>383488428
That gay vampire could probably rock your shit and still look fabulous doing it

>>383487174
>>383487903
Cont.
Moving on to Metroidvanias.

First you've got the legendary instant classic, Symphony of the Night on PS1 (also has a garbage port on Saturn, avoid at all cost). Arguably the best game in the franchise, but definitely a bit on the easy side especially once you get some specific items that completely cheese the game. You can go with PS1 original and its memetic translation, which while meme status, is actually fucking terrible and inaccurate. Or you can go with the PSP version in Dracula X Chronicles sports a much better translation, better voice acting (with option for Japanese voices if you want) and new content. Basically PSP is the best version of the game unless you're a 12 year old memelord. DXC also includes original version of Rondo (great port with good translation and dual audio) as well as a 2.5D (3D with 2D gameplay) remake of Rondo which is mixing due to some design choices and the fact it's 30 FPS unlike 60 FPS original. Generally at first only the remake of Rondo is playable and you need to find original Rondo and SotN as unlockables hidden within Rondo remake's stages. If you want you can just download a save from GameFAQs with them unlocked and play through original Rondo->SotN that way. VERY recommended to at least play Rondo before SotN due to SotN being a direct sequel storywise.

Then you've got Circle of the Moon on GBA, really solid game but controls are a bit iffy, if you google "Always Run" cheat for it though that alleviates most of the control problems. Without a doubt the hardest Metroidvania, it's not-canon but nobody plays these games for story desu and gameplay is amazing. One of best incarnations of final boss Dracula as well.

Harmony of Dissonance, also on GBA, is basically SotN but with a Belmont (whip-only user), recycling a lot of SotN's assets and being very similar in structure. Awful audio quality and seizure inducing technicolor visuals since they were playing with GBA's potential.

Cont next post

>>383487174
Release order is a good start.

Rondo of Blood (PC Engine, PSP) is the best Classicvania

Ellis is a poor writer, and it made this adaptation poor.

>>383488638

Nostalgia. 1-4 have not aged well. SoTN and RoB are the limits of where the series can still be played today, and still hold up.

>>383488638

I legit hate the weebs of 4chan. Purge when?

>>383488665
Finally Aria of Sorrow on GBA, took what made SotN great and expanded upon it, being inferior to SotN only in visuals and audio due to GBA hardware but much better in gameplay, balance and design.

Then you've got the three games on DS.
Dawn of Sorrow is a direct sequel to Aria of Sorrow, so basically expect more of that just with prettier visuals and better audio quality, but portraits got changed into really shity generic anime style. Also features really shitty touchscreen gimmick in a couple of places.
Has absolutely amazing unlockable extra mode where you play as 3 characters (controlling 1 and switching between them at will) with different story and final boss.

Portrait of Ruin, innovates a bit by taking character switching from DoS' extra mode and makes it the main focus of the game, you play as two characters and some bosses and obstacles require you to use both to proceed so you can't just dedicate to one of them.
Final boss, in a mirror to you controlling 2 characters, is also 2 enemies at once.

Finally Order of Ecclesia, mix of Classicvania and Metroidvania design. It's stage based, but the stages are semi exploration/open like in Metroidvania. The second hardest Metroidvania next to CotM, good gameplay and amazing music. One of best Dracula final bosses in the series in terms of mechanics and difficulty.

Then you've got the ugly ducklings in the series:
CV2 on NES, a genuinely awful game that's best left forgotten, whipped up in a month and it's deliberately obtuse and artificial difficulty (invisible platforms, NPCs and clues blatantly lying to you to fuck you over and whatnot) just to sell Nintendo Power magazines back then with walkthrough for it.

Then you've got Vampire Killer on MSX which is basically a shittier CV1 on a hardware that couldn't support screen scrolling, and Haunted Castle on arcade machines that is a very, very ugly reimaining of CV1. Both are best skipped, play only if you're morbidly curious.

>>383489118
>you have to be some cocksucking youtube e-celeb to have a common complaint about a popular game

Really? Because as a diehard castlevania fan, I remember who Grant is, remember that Sypha was working for the church and don't think Ellis shitting his "religion is evil, the main character is now my gary stu" is worthy of approval.

Guess I have higher standards

Sotn and all the other metroidvania cancer is overrated trash, best ones are 3 on the NES, Chronicles on the PS1, Dracula X on the pc engine and SNES, and Bloodlines.

>>383488976
>>383488949

NES Trilogy is way faster, and much more fun, with upbeat better music. 4 is made by another team, who don't really get Castlevania.

3, Bloodlines, and Rondo are the best action side scrollers. Super isn't even in this league.

why do american directors have to inject quips and jokes into everything, it was jarring seeing the characters joke and shit while people got gored and shredded apart. I don't remember castlevania ever being like this (lest some eastereggs).

this isn't a fucking marvel comic book adaptation.

>>383489208
Then more in the "ugly ducklings" part, you've got Adventure, Belmont's Revenge and Legends on GameBoy, all three of which are extremely slow, pretty ugly and feature awful mechanic of downgrading all your power to minimum if you're hit even once as means of artificial difficulty. Quite awful. Adventure has great remake on Wii with Adventure Rebirth, but Belmont's Revenge and Legends never got remade which is a shame.

Then there's Castlevania 64 and Legacy of Darkness, both on N64. First Castlevania ventures into 3D. Very average due to awful camera, controls and framerate, even when emulating for stable 30 FPS, you're still stuck with awful camera and controls. Play only if you're curious and can forgive those two issues.

Then there's Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness on PS2, also in 3D but substantially better than the N64 games. Generally tend to be ignored by fans for whatever reason but they're quite inoffensive and competent fixing the two major issues from N64 aka controls and camera.

And then there's Lords of Shadow Trilogy, which have a God of War-like gameplay. The first one is pretty good but is marred by insulting the player's intelligence with constant highlighting where to go next, ledges in platforming, camera pans and whatnot. Also QTEs you can't turn off as boss finishers and some cutscenes.
Mirror of Fate, second entry which is on 3DS with PS360 and PC ports (both better than 3DS), is mix of Metroidvania with LoS in that it's 2.5D with exploration ala Metroidvania but gameplay mechanics are like LoS just in 2D. So God of War in 2D with explorable castle.
And finally Lords of Shadow 2 which suffered clusterfuck during development with executive fuckery that caused half the talent to quit the company, had serious budget issues due to Konami cutting the budget short mid development to focus on Pachinko and as such is generally the worst of the 3, despite having the BEST combat system of the three which is its only saving grace.

Alright, just one last note.
Some of the games in the series are best enjoyed having played other ones beforehand.

CV3 is best played after CV1 due to being a direct prequel, but also being better in basically every way.

Rondo best played before SotN due to story reasons. Also bonus points if you played CV3 before SotN due to story being slightly tied to it.

Dawn of Sorrow must be played after AoS, direct sequel and whatnot, also spoils the twist from AoS. Bonus points if you played CV3 and SotN so you get some wink wink nudge nudge stuff.

Portrait of Ruin is a direct sequel to Bloodlines from Genesis, but you should've played Rondo and SotN before it as well due to one certain story reason.

Order of Ecclesia, direct sequel to SotN, best played after you've already played Rondo and SotN.

Curse of Darkness on PS2 is a direct sequel to CV3.

LoS Trilogy, must play in order (LoS1->MoF->LoS2) if you care about story, LoS game have a substantially bigger focus on story if that helps, but it's still pretty cheesy.

Legacy of Darkness on N64 is a direct prequel to CV64.

That's pretty much it.

>>383489260
>3, Bloodlines and Rondo
You gotta add 1, it still holds up

Rondo and Bloodlines are so fucking good though.

>>383490149

These two sentences on same post, with no trace of irony in there. That's funny.

>>383490149
All enemies take off a fourth of your health after a certain point unlike the original where enemy damage depended on enemy type and enemies bats would take off only a bit. One character doesn't have an infinite ranged weapon in the US version, and it removes one very important checkpoint before the last boss.

>>383490298
Any animation can be called a cartoon.

>>383490332
So they made already pretty hard game even harder. Well fuck that then.

>>383489662
>dracula x
lol

>>383490149
For starters, enemies have like two-three times more HP and you get two-three times more damage per hit. Grant was made literally useless since they removed his signature knife throwing, censorship all around such as changing the throwing cross, checkpoint in final stage before final boss is removed so you have to start the entire fucking level again.
I think there's more I don't remember off the top of my head, but generally it's garbage.
Removal of the VRC6 audio chip is the biggest insult though imo since the game sounds like shit in US version due to that.

It just increases enjoyment. You're not meant to really take the story seriously, but it gives you that "I recognize this" feeling if you know what I mean.
For all intents and purposes all the games can be played entirely standalone if you so wish, you will just miss on references and callbacks.

It's actually a pretty good story, when you take everything into account.

>>383490604
All the naked statues are now covered up with robes, all crosses were altered such as removing glow from them and whatnot.
Medusa lost her tits (and also ruined her animation frames as a result since removal is inconsistent).
Holy water has fucked up color palette.
This one isn't censorship but actual improvement, Lesser Demon, Zombie and Toad sprites are better in CV3 but that's the only instance of improvement.
Floating Eyeballs had blood removed from their eyes.
Mummies got awful new sprites that ruined their look.
Ghoul rabbits were replaced by Fleamen from CV1.
Bat boss had its color palette fucked.

First, that was released in 2001 you idiot. Second, it's a high budget feature film.

Apples meets Oranges.

Castlevania is above standard TV animation and is perfectly fine. It's akin to a low budget OVA from the 80's, rather than a high budget feature film. Many series got cheap 45 minute OVAs to advertize the comic series or video game series.

Oh, and if you want an actual 80's Vampire Hunter D movie, there was one released in 1985:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvCwXhK5Fno

The entire thing is on Youtube. The animation is decent. It's not anywhere near Akira or the 2001 levels. It's only a few steps above TV animation.

I think people, especially Westerners have been spoiled by 100 million dollar budget PIxar films, and 90's big Budget Disney films to really appeciate animation that is a little lower budget. They mgiht see a few Japanese animated films, but only the super high budget shit like Akira or the 2001 Vampire hunter D film.

A few choppy frames of action is a fine trade off for something half decent.

Not him but it definitely has better animation than say Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and that was a very big OVA series.

>>383492131
>I could agree with the Lisa bit, but..did we really need four more episodes of "look how bad these church guys are!"?
Probably not. Personally I'd condense the church plot in two episodes if only to have a resolution to what was started in Lisa burning scene. Episode 1 focus entirely on Dracula and Lisa and his revenge, then Episode 2 be Trevor introduction and resolution of Church plot. Episode 3 be Sypha and finally Episode 4 Alucard and forming the trio.

>>383492252

LoGH is actually super low budget for an OVA. Mostly people standing in rooms, static ships. They're stretching the budget out. The animation only got good in the 90's when they were nearing the end.

A big budget OVA would be Debruman: The Birth and the lady bird one. And Lupin III The Futa Conspiracy. Pretty much movie quality smoothness and detail.

More like they didn't reference them because they are literally NOT there at the time and you didn't pay attention to the story of CoD where Hector and the Fuckboy were literally gone on an errand at the time. Trevor never meets Hector until the events of the game you fucking imbecile. Besides it's a really shitty game anyway.

No, it didn't. Leon was a crusader, and they weren't expelled at all, just...shunted off to the side because the church was too reliant on them. After Simon, I think.

The science alchemy stuff is to do with the castle. It exists outside of time anyway, and is a living thing, so it has all sorts of shit floating around it.

>it also felt like a typical western cartoon cringefest, so many western storytelling conventions and goddamn that dialogue.

Blame Warren Ellis. For whatever reason, they got a Western comic book author to write this. One with no familliarity with Castlevania.

It's anime. Most things explode on death.

>>383495646
In 1476, Hector was still a devil forgemaster under Dracula.
They only "ally" 3 years latter, and at first Hector doesn't really give a shit about stopping the curse and just wants to kill Isaac.

Oh, so the series is before Curse of Darkness?

>>383496125

>So what would be a Castlevania hidden reference, if not those things listed?

Well, shit, anything. Instead of saying of his whip: "It's consecrated, so it kills vampires and demons", a response like "ugh, long story, some other time" would have been nice, to show a vague reference to LoI and the whole "whip killing vampires" thing.

At the beginning, perhaps representations of some of the actual stuff you see in the alchemy laboratory, that would have been cool.

Hector and Isaac riding away from castle dracula at the beginning.

One of the monsters from the game, rather than..generic black winged things.

Anything.

The ONE thing I saw was the Sypha male/female thing. That was it.

>>383496216
Yes.
Trevor kills Dracula, but he casts a curse on the land as he dies (hence the game being Dracula's Curse I guess?) which drives people insane and also kills them or something, it's not really explained beyond "it's bad and has to stop" and has apparently covered all of yurope.
Trevor is looking for "the" devil forgemaster who could help him stop the curse (game's called Curse of Darkness so there you go) but he runs into Hector who's not even nearly as strong as he heard he'd be, because at that point he didn't know there were actually 2 forgemasters.

Don't bother. It's not a reference unless it pertains to the absolute disgrace of a game that was Curse of Darkness.

>>383496480

>"ugh, long story, some other time"

Then it would never be explained because the show isn't going to explain LoI, and then it would be a plothole for the audience as to why the whip makes monsters fucking explode.

>>383496857

>They are moves ripped straight out the fucking game.

you answered your own question. A reference might be something concerning the surrounding lore. Like..you know, those other million games, that they obviously knew nothing about when they phoned in the series.

Sorry mate, but your definition of a reference is arbitrary as fuck.

So you want the show to give a convoluted retelling of Lament of Innocence, complete with Leon and Sara's backstory and Rinaldo and everything just to explain why it explodes demons, all so it can be a Castlevania reference. From the perspective of a 20 minute episode series, and as a storytelling mechanism, that's just fucking stupid.

No? If people cared enough they'd look it up and see the events of LoI or whatever. This is what people do with easter eggs and references all the time. It deepens the show/movie just that little bit

>>383497448
>Trevor doesn't introduce himself
>talks impolitely about her ideals being false
>proceeds to not care when she takes initiative
She's right on him being rude.

>>383488638
Yep, 4 very easy and slow.
1, 3, Bloodlines, Rondo of Blood - all timeless classics.

>>383497520
Yeah maybe. I still liked it, it just took a bit of getting used to.

>>383497459
Are you trolling? Castlevania 3 is before 1 lorewise

>>383497580

You see, i'm saying "link it to", and I mean like..a picture of Simon Belmont, or a line about the whip's origins.

You're somehow thinking that I am demanding they tell these stories in their entirety. Or..choose to argue that it's what i'm saying, because...well, I dunno.

>>383497689

Eh, whatever. Legends, or LoI, whatever your poison is.

[slurping continues]

>>383497629
Well they had genuine disagreements later but she was already bitching seconds after he literally saved her life, made me hate her from the start. Can't really gloss over this

>>383489685
You do realize that scene was used to set up a brick joke in Alucard's fight, right? Also helps define Trevor as an unrefined and rude asshole on the same level as the peasants from the bar.

They're presenting him as someone similar to the other causes of the problems in Castlevania.

Dracula destroys humans because humans hurt him, despite the fact his son and wife oppose/would have opposed him.

The Church refused to acknowledge their mistakes and the threat posed by Dracula, and direct their power and violence against other humans, despite the fact literal demons from hell are killing everyone.

The peasants refused to speak up against the evil deeds of the Church, and instead look for someone to blame and excuses to absolve their responsibilities.

Trevor refused to slay monsters and seek out a way to stop Dracula because the world was unjust and hateful towards him, so he'd rather let them die.

This starting point allowed him to develop after meeting the speakers, and made him realize that the world could still be good, if he took care of the problems that plagued him.

>>383497786
Why the FUCK would there be a picture of Simon Belmont, when Simon Belmont hasn't even been born yet.

>>383497448
>guy saves her life but is an asshole 100% of the time right after that
>hurr why isn't she riding his dick 24/7?

>>383497116
I'd drink it.

>>383497861

Sonia, Leon, Whatever.

>>383497817
First impressions are everything. I agree the "Did you climb on me?" was a bit of a stretch.

>>383497875

>You're somehow thinking that I am demanding they tell these stories in their entirety

Because you are. Your criticism is that this 4 episode miniseries isn't already an established universe like the MCU. Let the series and plot stand by itself, instead of a convoluted messy web of links to franchises and characters that have yet to be introduced, all for the sake of reference.

>castlevania show
>no castlevania monsters show up

nah

>>383497923
Trevor already mentioned the family estate' been torched. There might be a section in season 2 where someone goes 'Hey, about that whip'.

OMG this was so awesome!
I can't wait for Quipvania season 2!

>>383498049

>Because you are.

Jesus, you're misrepresenting like a pro.

>>383498101

I like the line where he says "fucking shit pipe fucking shit!"

CLASSIC CASTLEMANIAS!

>>383484514
I like it but wish it was a little more regal looking like in SotN. Nothing wrong with making it look a bit more practical though.

>>383497838
Better than whatever decades served to setup your inability to read.

Its annoying but thats just western writing in general right now. There's like 2 western shows I can even stand but even I could look past it for this one. Granted Episode 1 and 2 were boring, only 3 was good and 4 was great. I hope they keep the pace up for the next episodes.

>>383498075

That's not in reference to the games, though, is it? I don't remember that happening.

Well, this is awkward. This >>383498315 was meant for you >>383497984

>>383497976
I'm glad you realize how retarded you are.

Am i the only one who thinks the first 2 episodes feel awkward as fuck?

>>383498560

No, they were pretty bad.

>>383498431
No, but it gives adequate reasoning as to why no one from the lineage has been referenced.

Trevor is the one who made a name for the Belmonts, so maybe Ellis thought it irrelevant.

>>383498486

>haha the good guys are as bad as the bad guys!

Fresh and original.

>>383497116

so does anyone have a well drawn source or what?

>>383498638

I suppose it would if:
>Trevor is the one who made a name for the Belmonts

was true. I mean, why would they church fear and shun them, even if we only take the series into account, if they weren't on the radar? He talks about them like they've been a big deal for a while, but..nothing else. Feels weird.

>maybe Ellis thought it irrelevant.

giving him a bit too much credit, I think. He probably just couldn't be bothered to check.

>>383498560
I liked the first one but episode 2 i agree on.

>>383499006

Which vampires did Trevor fight if he's never met Dracula?

>>383499114

>expecting Wellis to put in effort

>>383499114

There are other vampires. Dracula is just the mackdaddy

>>383497074
>>A picture of Simon Belmont would have been enough.
Simon wasn't even fucking born yet
This is the people shitting on this adaptation, a bunch of mongoloids that don't even play the game yet they bitch about how the show is somehow not faithful enough about something they've never experienced

>>383499626

Why wouldn't you just assume he meant Leon or Sonia, instead of going on an aspergic rant about people who don't like a cartoon?

>>383499114
There's always been other vampires.
>>383499273
Another retard talking about what he doesn't knows, there's plenty of vampires outside of dracula, Walter and Olrox being examples

>>383499839

>what he doesn't knows

lel

>Olrox

He's literally a servant of Dracula, you stupid fuck. Play the games, moron, before flapping your gums about them.

>>383499827
>Why wouldn't you just assume he meant Leon or Sonia
Why would anyone assume that? He named a fucking character, the character from the first game, it's easy to assume that guy is a retard that doesn't know shit about the lore he's trying to pretend he likes.

>>383500050

>Why would anyone assume that?

Because Simon Belmont hadn't been born yet, and a non-autist would assume he meant a picture of a person who

exists.

>>383499973
>He's literally a servant of Dracula
and?
Does that magically makes him not a vampire?
Does anyone mentioned anything about him being a servant and this invalidates being a vampire how, exactly?

And what about Water?
Care to explain, anon?

>>383499973
64/LoD had regular vampires.

>>383500136
You're retarded.

>>383500146

>and?

And he lives in Dracula's Castle 500 years later. Why is he relevant?

>And what about Water?

Walter? He's dead. He dies before Trevor is even born.

wew

>>383490562
>Grant was made literally useless since they removed his signature knife throwing
A smart move ultimately. In the Japanese CV3 you could more or less cheese everything as Grant with his infinite dagger attack.

Konami handled the localization, so aside from some silly sprite changes to remove crosses in the graveyard and implied 8bit nipple, the game was rebalanced pretty well.

>>383500171

Yeah, and other vampires did exist outside of Dracula's control. Elizabeth Bartley perhaps, from Bloodlines, possibly Carmilla, and various other no-name fucks.

>>383498070
>not in Dracula's castle
>upset that we don't see many classic monsters
you're a special kind of stupid

>>383500398

>You're retarded.

Last time I explain anything to you.

>>383498970
that's chronicles, a remake

>>383500559

>Dracula explains he's going to summon an army from hell to unleash on the world
>"by unleash, I mean keep in my castle"
>"and by army, I mean lots of black generic monsters"

kek, even the cyclops was alucard's.

>>383500721
>an army means all the really special ones are out way far doing grunt work!
little black hellbats being the grunts who go do hit and runs is not a shocking thing at all. You don't see thousands of Spec Ops agents storming a battlefield buddy

There is no explaining, the guy fucked up and you're trying to defend him, actually, you're probably the one that fucked up and is trying to damage control.

>>383501174

well, whaddaya know. I guess NOW is the:
>>383500613

>>383500136
Wouldn't it be far easier to assume he -did- mean Simon and he just didn't know he hadn't been born yet?
Holy shit I swear you must be doing this on purpose

>>383501248

they were talking about references though, not wanking over who had the most knowlej. If he'd said "a previous belmont" would that anon still have cried for an hour about it?

>>383501195
You want a bunch of commoners to start talking like they're Shakespeare or something? The dialog was fine for what it is. Dracula and elder speakers were refined.

>>383501494
>Trevor Belmont
>A Commoner

>>383498665
The only thing separating Good Guys from Bad Guys is inaction, a lack of effort, succumbing to rage, sorrow or despair. Of all things, Castlevania is Christian as fuck in its values.

>>383501607

>the only thing separating good guys from bad guys is morality, intention and actions

Thanks, Professor.

>>383501607

>Castlevania is Christian as fuck in its values.

didn't you see the show? The church is evil.

>>383501595
Never said that, but 90% of the dialog in the show is from commoners. I hear a lot of people complain about the sheep fucker scene in the bar.

Trevor is of House Belmont but in the show he was exiled by the church and lives among commoners as a drifter.

>>383484514
>Castlevania

I had completely ignored this franchise my entire life. One episode of the show and now I want to play everything.

>>383501853

Most of the dialogue is awful as far as i'm concerned. Warren Ellis is a very poor writer, and his schtick is comics about drunken badasses who are standoffish but win the day, how evil catholicism is, and winning imaginary arguments with people of a different view to his through his characters.

And hey presto, Castlevania is full of that.

>>383501789
The church is corrupt but normal priests created holy weapons that killed demons. God exists but his love is not unconditional
>>383501968
Classic Castlevanias are amazing. Super Castlevania 4 is probably the easiest to get into

Why was this a series? It just felt like someone stuck a bunch of credits and titles in the middle of a movie.

>>383502119
>God exists but his love is not unconditional

actually...

>>383502214
Thats new testiment, Old testiment god would have totally turned his back, if not do the smiting himself

If i played and enjoyed Dracula X Chronicles and Aria of Sorrow, which other Castlevania would I like?

Friendly reminder that harmony of dispair is less than £3 on the PlayStation store right now.

>>383502459

All of the Tansaku castlevanias for one. Presumably this means you played Symphony right?

>>383501475
I suppose the point is it's pretty ironic to complain about there not being enough references and easter eggs for fans, and then fucking up something as basic as CV3 being a prequel to 1. Dude already said he didn't actually -mean- Simon (he probably did, we all make mistakes, it's ok), so there's no longer any need to defend him. It's especially stupid to imply we should have assumed he didn't mean Simon, though, as usually people try to mean what they say and not the complete fucking opposite

>>383502527
I own it, but haven't played far in yet

>>383502490

Which was directed by Curry the Kid, who is now directing Bloodstained. Harmony of Dispair was made for pennies after Konami cancelled Iga's big 3D action game starring Alucard. Which is why it's: Re-Used Sprites: THE GAME.

>>383502634
That doesn't mean it's a bad game though.

>>383501789
the church is evil, the forces of good and God are not

>>383501789

The church is evil yes, but as demonstrated by the Priest creating holy water and the fact that Vampire Killer is a consecrated weapon, true holiness does exist and true men of God can use his holy power.
