Castlevania Is at Its Best Without the Belmonts

The Belmont Family serves as the primary protagonists of Castlevania, with each game focusing on a different generation of Belmonts in their war against Dracula.

However, despite being the central characters in the saga, the best games in the franchise consistently are the ones where the Belmonts are either sidelined or exist only as unlockable characters.

I have seen a lot of horrible journalism linked on this site in the past, but I have never felt motivated enough to comment until now.

The Belmont’s are in Castlevania 3, Rondo of Blood, and Super Castlevania. There’s a playable Belmont in Symphony of the Night. If you don’t think that these games are some of the best in the series, you are objectively wrong.

Please don’t waste your time on this article.

Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Richter Belmont in SotN and Julius Belmont in AoS?

PurpHerbison1406d ago

I don't understand what you are getting at. I'm simply stating they are the best overall CV games. Doesn't matter if they have Belmonts or not. Julius is the coolest one though.

You shut your damn mouth, sir!

Best without Belmonts? Wrong! Super Castlevania IV on the SNES was amazing for its time. It was a game that was released during the launch of the SNES and it was a huge step forward from the NES Castlevania . Besides the great graphics and music/sound, the gameplay mechanics evolved to have eight way direction whip, hold the button and jiggle and spin the whip in all directions, and crouching walk. Also, the Mode 7 effect was used well. You had to have played it during the early 90s to really appreciate it

Games That Should Be Adapted to TV

The Last of Us, Castlevania, and Arcane are actually good. What else could be good?

I think the games would need to have a strong narrative or lots of lore to explore to make a good show. I don't understand why Overwatch doesn't make one, Blizzards cinematics are already amazing, why not just make some shows with their stuff?

For me:
- Sleeping Dogs (I know Donnie Yen's making a film)
- Killzone (from the Helghast perspective)
- Mass Effect
- BioShock (showing the rise and fall of Rapture)
- Hitman
- L.A. Noire

Flawlessmic474d ago

Killzone, mass effect, bioshock and legacy of kain would all be insane as TV shows with the right budget!

Would love that so much!

Add MGS to that list :)

MIDGETonSTILTS17474d ago

I would prefer a Killzone game from the Earth perspective, just because I think the slow realization that the protagonists are actually antagonists is great… idk if it would have the same impact vice versa.

porkChop474d ago

Maybe, idk. I feel like since the Helghast look evil but are actually the victims it could make for unique and compelling TV.

PaleMoonDeath475d ago

Legacy of Kain.. no debate about it.

TheKingKratos474d ago

That would be a dream if done right

Star51474d ago

Mafia series
Hitman
Mass Effect (if done similar to Star Trek)
Red Dead Redemption
Detroit Becoming Human
Max Payne
Yakuza

Soy474d ago

Hitman would be great - like a reverse Law & Order, kill them at the end instead of arrest.
