Well let's see. There's no way people can be justified to be extremely weary to have Castlavania go into 3D...again. It's not like we've given them four other chances to bring the series into 3D, or five if you count the never released Castlevania Resurrection for Dreamcast. Nobody came to this pessimism lightly. I remember back in the N64 days, people were DYING for Castlevania to go into 3D. We were excited and got screwed over when they real Castlevania was in 2D and we had two shitty experiences on the N64 that was in direct comparison to crap like Nightmare Creatures. Next we move onto the PS2 and we watch as the real Castlevania's, the ones with effort put in show up on the GBA and the DS. We get more second rate 3D nonsense from Konami. It doesn't help that they also can't quite get Contra to work in 3D either.

That's my only reason. I don't care about the rest of the excuses.

Why should I? Isn't Castlevania Judgement ''hardcore'' enough for us, which seems to be the best reason everyone can come up with if the game isn't going to be good enough? Just look at the comments in this news post: http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=2280

Dont say that. I mean the by Wii fanboys on this site maybe but thats only a small percentage. Anyways Im greatful for the game and gladly except any 3rd party game. Especially Konami. Heres hoping we get a Hideo Kojima game! ZoE 3!

It has nothing to do with being hardcore or not, it has to do with the gamej ust not looking that good. Again.

Konami makes some good games, yes, but we aren't required to ever be "thankful" for them throwing their table scraps at us. No sir. We are not that much in need, whether they are "legendary" or not.

Its a Castlevannia game. The creator of the series made this game. It counts as one in the series. It spin-off or whatever youd like to call it but it IS a castlevannia game.

At least youre willing to rent it thogh

It's no more a Castlevania game than Final Fantasy XII is Vagrant Story. It shares the name, a few characters, and the setting - nothing more. There is mroe to what makes a game than continuity and lead designers. This isn't a Castlevania game - Castlevania games are primarily action platformers with horror elements and an aesthetic derived primarily from European traditions.

But there, even ignoring that, you have your reason. Topic over now, I assume.

Meh, you (and Rol) got me. I'm just a sucker for anything Konami, I must admit. ;)

I just hope everyone is at least going to try the game before giving a decent opinion on it.

The 3D PS2 Castlevanias would have been a lot of better if it wasn't for the cut and paste technique used when making the level designs. Any series can have a good 3D game if it has enough work put into it. Most of the 3D Sonic, Mega Man, or Castlevania games weren't so good because they were rushed out to release. Hopefully the new PS3/360 Castlevania will finally have a 3D breakthrough the series has been looking for nearly a decade. Even IGA thought the 3D Castlevanias weren't so good and that includes the ones he worked on. IGA seems determined to make a breakthrough with 3D and we will not give up no matter what happens. I can understand why fans are weary but can't we all have atleast some hope.

Oh man, it has motion controls? In a fighting game?

That just makes things worse unless the team in question is literally top-notch.

Well, it can't be as hard to control as playing a Tales game with the Manual control settings set on. Sometimes, my slashes are not even in the direction of the enemy, but that's because I suck at controlling my character...! @_@
