Tanukitsune Posted May 28, 2010 Once again, I play the game a millenia after it's released... and nobody has talked about it? Frankly, it's an OK fighter, but the character design.... Every character is OVERLY detailed... their weapons look ridiculous I'm surprised the Belmont whip doesn't have pizza deli on it's tip... And the characters themselves.... Are unrecognizable! Guess the Belmont! That's Simon! Some are even worse.... For some reason Eric from Bloodlines is little kid and has the most ridiculous looking spear ever.... There is nothing wrong with redesigning your characters a little, but.... The only characters you'll recognize is Alucard and Dracula... Has any other game redesigned their character in way you can no longer recognize them anymore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roderick Posted May 28, 2010 Simon could be in GAY, a GAY musical! (Aren't all musicals gay?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted May 28, 2010 Even the musicals about nerdy stuff like Evil Dead and LOLcats? You should see the thief guy from CV III he looks like a Voldo ripoff! XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hermie Posted May 28, 2010 It's the work of Takeshi Obata, the illustrator behind the manga Death Note and Bakuman. I have no experience with the Castlevania franchise, so I don't know what he did with it, but his style is instantly recognizable. He also did a tie-in manga for Blue Dragon, that was... slightly different from the game: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted May 28, 2010 That's Blue Dragon? I played the games for a bit before I got tired of it, but... Once again, I don't recognize any of those characters.... But I think it also explains the boob jokes... XP Maria Renard is now the small breasted girl who fights the other girls out of jealousy... YOU ARE SEXIER THAN ME! DIE!

Murdoc Posted May 28, 2010 I can't tell most anime apart, his "style" looks like typical anime faire to me. I would like to make to try to seperate style and design though. When someone says style I think proportions, line work, colouring, etc... When I hear design I think of the asthetics, hair, makeup, clothing, accessories, etc... So in those terms the style seems fine, the designs are friggin horrid. There is a style similarity between those designs the dude's previous manga work, but the designs are totally different.

Roderick Posted May 28, 2010 God, stupid of me that I didn't recognize it. It indeed looks like Deathnote. That Castlevania pic of Belmont is horrible though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted May 28, 2010 The rest are just as "good".... Apparently you have to beat the story mode with ALL characters to unlock "true story" mode which is the same but with two extra bosses.... The extra ending you get is.... TEXT! This is game isn't terrible, but it's not good enough for me to go through story mode TWICE just for SOME BLOODY TEXT! What are we? In the SNES era? Even SNES fighter had better endings!

Snooglebum Posted May 31, 2010 God, stupid of me that I didn't recognize it. It indeed looks like Deathnote. That Castlevania pic of Belmont is horrible though. No kidding. What the hell happened? I thought his art was better then that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
