Castlevania thread

Is Konami genuinely retarded? Castlevania's arguably more popular than ever thanks to the shitty Netflix show, the collections sold well, Simon and Richter were well received in Smash, Bloodstained sold more than a million and than Lords of Shadow, Curse of the Moon sold 600k and every shitty indie Metroidvania is popular, so why the fuck is Konami just sitting on the franchise and not doing anything with it? And to add insult to injury, they make games again but for Eden's Zero, a literally who manga that no one gives a shit about instead of Castlevania, Metal Gear or Silent Hill. Hell, they can even release Moonlight Rhapsody internationally and port it to consoles like Genshin Impact. Are we dealing with literal tards or greedy fucks?

Both

Is the game any good?

>Indie Metroidvania ripoff
They're never good.

Other then the Lecarde Chronicles 2, are there any good Castlevania fangames to look out for?

this artist draws some nice looking feet

Hollow Knight was especially bad.

Shanoa is one of the best character designs period

hollow knight

Is Bloodstained worth playing?

No; it's to Castlevania SOTN what Mighty No. 9 was to Megaman.
People only bought / gave it positive reviews due to cost sunk fallacy and being desperate for a new Gothic-style Castlevania.

Witch feet

Considering how they outsource almost all their projects nowadays, i'm convinced that a good bulk of their development teams got sick of the treatment and left hence the almost non existant output of games

It's not a bad game. Ignore since I'm a piratechad.

I don't get why they made it in 3d instead of stylized 2d.

Because IGA could fill his pockets more effectively that way.

I thought IGA was a cool guy with just too much optimism

IGA is as much of a conman as Inafune; he's just skilled at pretending to be a decent human being.

Because none of these things matter. Games and shit are too risky and not rewarding enough. Sitting on gambling machines and pachinko and shit produces 5x the revenue.
Konami as a gamedev is over. Stop hanging onto the past.

Miriam and Zangetsu are doing a good job holding out for the genre. We don't need Konami anymore.

That's a shame. Never relax around japs I guess

Yes, it's pretty great. is just retarded.

This.
Zig Forums forgets that Konami is a business and a business' sole reason of existence is making money.

Japanese version of 3 is too good. I love metroidvanias as well, but I struggle to replay them a lot.

me in the middle

He got the SOTN director spot when the game was pretty much finished and still took the credit for it; the post-SOTN Castlevania are just him telling the SOTN team "do exactly the same but on a smaller budget".

IGA is easily more insidious and malicious than Inafune because it's easier for him to pretend that he actually worked on the games.

>literally just takes a retards words as fact
Weak.

Ignore the conspiracy theorist shitposter. IGA's pretty chill.
