We'll just have to agree to disagree on LoS. I agree with your opinion regarding the earlier 3D games feeling "more like a Castlevania game," but I really liked Cox's take on Castlevania with Lords of Shadow much more. Also, sometimes games have to evolve into something new/different, which is why I enjoyed LoS so much. This is also why I'm so bummed about Kojima not being involved with Silent Hills anymore.Mephisto wrote: Indeed they were, pal. I just thought the gameplay was much, much better. It actually felt like a Castlevania. Even on 3D. The first Lords of Shadow came close but there's something that I can't really put my finger on it.
If you want a 3D Castlevania to succeed then FromSoftware as developers would be a good bet.
I agree, FromSoftware would be my choice.
Lastly, I forget who posted quotes about Konami going mainly into mobile gaming - either way, thanks. I had just read that article on IGN before coming here. Hopefully those that enjoy mobile/portable gaming will receive quality SH titles from here on out.
