And this is why games like Bloodstained Ritual of the Night and the upcoming Eiyuden Chronicle exist. Konami is too busy chasing the mobile money to pay proper attention to their cult classics on the consoles, where the fanbase primarily games. So glad to finally see spiritual successors being made elsewhere by the original creators!
It's a good thing the creators are into console releases or else it would be disappointing times without them. I bought bloodstained and backed the kickstarter for eiyuden chronicle
I care, Konami hold the rights to so many fantastic games series, its seems like such a waste for them to treat great titles like Castlevania with such indifference.
I still have too have that bit faith pal that Konami will one day realise that there games are a gold scratch that diamond mine . And if they remake aka Capcom . If not then that company is sorry to say dead too me . Castlevania, Silient Hill, Metal Gear , Spatterhouse, Too name a few . Hell my fave 2 arcade machines TMNT and The Simpson’s . Come on Konami !
Nope. Unless if you want all Castlevania games being remade and have meaningless content in the game, then another big NOPE. Castlevania's lore is so vast that it makes Devil May Cry looks like a little kitten.
I could somewhat forgive this if this was a COMPLETE game for mobile. As in: you purchase the game and that's it, no gacha nor predatory microtrasanctions, and it could even be ported or adapted later to consoles as a cheaper digital arcade-y title. BUT, that is most definitely not going to happen, and this will be a game full of MT. :D
I so wish I was in charge of Konami, I would fire most of the staff and start again. Or give them all a Super Nintendo the Konami back catalogue, send them home tell them to come back Monday with proper funking inspiration and make some real games again!!!! Snes forever.
I mean when will Konami realise they have gold mines just sitting there . Hell and I’m now sad to say this , but they were my fave company growing up . With some of the best ips ever .
When will the nightmare end? Just give your franchises to somebody else already. At least have someone else collaborate with you on them for consoles/PC.
I’ll take the hate but I want another MGS . It does not have to be main line like snake or big boss . Another I nvm the cause of rising . Hell there is loads of characters to make a story from without including the main snakes .
F**k you too, Konami. I'm overjoyed that the Suikoden team is kickstarting a spiritual successor. Iga already made one for Castlevania. Hope Konami rots.
Konami was one of my favorite companies back in the NES days all the way to PS2 days, PS3 had some decent games from them but that Gen is the beginning of their decline. Such a shame they hold the rights to some great IP and have no idea what to do with them.
This is the sad future of games, especially titles that are large enough that the name draws in old fans. There is an entire generation that pretty much only games on their phones. To them this will be castlevania. We can hate it all we want and we are right to since they create ugly mutant step child versions of games full of micro-transactions but there is a TON of young gamers out there that this is already the norm for. None of us have to do anything, we can ignore it and never play it and it will see "success" and get more sequels and some poor dad out there is going to have a 5000 credit card bill he wont know about until its to late.
