Castlevania goes from a handheld pixel-art series to a full fledged AAA hack 'n slash with Patrick Stewart as a voice actor under Kojima.

What?

...Kojima is the one who bastardized Castlevania!?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgh.

Look, I'm a new found Kojima fan - loved Snake Eater - but if that is the kind of change we should have expected from Silent Hills, no thanks. Not after the abomination that is the LoS games.

Co-developed by Kojima Studios and Kojima acted as an advisor and producer.

In fact, the game wasn't going to be part of the Castlevania world (Konami thought it was too radical) until Kojima stepped in.
