After recent statements criticizing the current state of Japanese industry, Kojima gives some hints about new directions in his upcoming game(s):

"The differences between the creators in Japan and the West in this industry... Japanese creators try to express the game's environment through beautiful artwork, but western developers use technology to draw out the environment. The Japanese make the models and textures carefully to create a world. The West use shaders, lighting, shadows, effects, and programming to create their world"

" For my next project, I'm going to mention to the staff to throw out the old ways of production. Do not create pretty images, create a beautiful world. Designers shouldn't focus only on their part, but also borrow the programmer's strength to maximize the quality. We shouldn't measure quality by parts, we will measure by the quality and completion of the entire world."

This translation created a time paradox.

because he always did this?

He prolly played his latest Castlevania game and is pissed at himself for making a beautiful boring game...

the new castlevania is awesome actually.

For a god of war fan, sure. It was pretty "yawn" to me...Nothing I like about Castlevania series was present.  Demons Souls is a better 3D castlevania game than Kojimas Castlevania.

Well Castlevania 3D is hard to really show things present that are awesome in 2D.....(but I have yet to play the game....)

No one said it would be easy. :) The last few PS2 Castlevanias were close to capturing the classic feel...

Besides, with the 2D renaissance that is happening right now means that door is wide open for a full blown castlevania HD in 2D. I would be the happiest man alive if they announced a new one or decided to port any of the GBA/DS castlevanias to an hd console.

You really are a yawn fest, you know that?  You keep shoving this up our throats in every single thread you can. Even though you admitted you didn't play shit of it. 

And of course 1: this thread has absolutely nothing to do with Castlevania.  2: Kojima wasn't a producer, director or game designer for Castlevania.  He acted as nothing more than an advisor. ¬_¬

You can't seem to realize that its a free forum...I get to express what I like and dislike, as many times as I want. Excuse me for not choosing to be bored for 20 hours so I could finish the game. If a CAstlevania game doesn't satisfy someone that has played and liked pretty much every casltevania game ever made (except n64 ones) I think there is a problem at hand. You think that I would stop playing a band new game in one of my favorite franchises after 3 hours for any other reason than I found it completely unsatisfactory and tedious?

Besides how do you know his comment isn't directed at caslevania wise guy?

they were mediocre at best! , IMO.
