What's going on with Castlevania now? Could we be on the verge of the series rising to relevance and new heights? Or could it once again fade into obscurity?

Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.
What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.
A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.
IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.
Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.
But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.
But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.
Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.
I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.
Inspiration is a big part of the game industry, but if a game is inspired by another does it cheapen the experience? CGM's Jordan Biordi tries to examine the concept.
Season 2 on Netflix will be good for the IP. Could it lead to a new game ala the R&C tagline? “The game based on the movie based on the game?”
With Konami owning the franchise, i have very low expectations as far as any games are concerned. I would love for it to be revived but it will never be the same. Classic style or otherwise. Mobile type cash in BS. Looking forward to season 2 of the show tho
If Burgertime able to be rebooted from Intellivision why cant Konami reboot Contra for ps4? also dev from kickstarter reboot Gradius on ps4-5
Castlevania is dead. It's all about Bloodstained now.
Games! Not TV series!
Konami is worse than dead at this point - erotic violence! - so what's the point of submitting a non-game subject to a gaming site?
