Actually, I know it for a fact. It's mentioned in the interview above.

Konami was extremely retiscent about Castlevania in this genre, and was on the edge of cancelling the project before being shown a demo. Kojima himself was involved in saving the project from oblivion.

Again: you are objectively wrong. And you don't even check to make sure!

You mean it was:

Konami: "Make us new Castlevania"

Outsource developer: "Okay, we'll make something cool"

Konami: "This won't do. We don't want hacknslash."

Outsource developer: "Yes you do. God of War is very popular."

Konami: "Oh. Let's go for it then. But change the barbarian for Kojima-san."

Outsource developer: "Ok."

No. It went like this, according to the interview (which you still fail to read):

Konami: Make us some Castlevania.

Developer: Okay!

*one year passes; CUT to Japan offices*

D: How about this?

K: No, no. This concept will not work.

D: Are you sure?

K: Yes. We will have to cancel this project.

D: Fuck! Wait! Give me fifteen minutes to show it to you!

K: All right.

*cue demo of concept; three beats of silence*

Konami: ...Not bad actually.

Kojima: I like it.

Developer: Aw yis

Konami: All right, let's go with this. Kojima-san will advise.

Developer: Aw yis!

Anyone in doubt about Kojima's role in the game should read this: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/23/david-cox-on-rebooting-castlevania-for-a-new-generation/

It's a good interview no matter if you want to know that or not though, go read.

Does it tell why they decided to ripoff God of war?


For fuck sake ,you are the same person who loved Dante's Inferno and was oblivious on how its such a rip off, no Castlevania isn't a rip off, there is NO similarities.

If that's true...that pretty much annihilates his argument completely.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

meh, it'll never be Castlevania, just a GoW clone with an Eastern European aesthetic.

Dig a bit deeper and you'll notice that God of War 3 was also inspired by other games before it.  And then those games before it were also inspired by other games before them, and so on. 

That kind of comment of yours is nothing but a narrow minded lack of insight.
