Having spent many happy evenings slashing through ToS with my roomies, nothing you say, or ever can say, will ruin my excitement over Lloyd being in Soul Caliber Legends.
Looks rubbish & this is coming from a huge Soul Calibur fan. Why the hell did Namco have to taint the series with this piece of crap. If I were in charge I'd have Taki be the main character & make it play like Ninja Gaiden with a Soul Calibur twist to it.
I'm going to hurt someone if I have to hear him say "This is the end" one more time. At least, I think that's what he said.
"This is the end! This is the... this is... this is the end.. this is.."
Oh man, I already want to punch myself.
Oh man, I already want to punch myself.
Why is he always saying "This is the end!"?
And great! That's just what we need, more games like these.
He doesn't even use the ballista, he ATTACKS IT!

Doesn't look that bad to me. Then again, I don't have ultra high standards for a game that is nothing but a fanservice title.
Then again, I don't think Lament of Innocence is that bad, if you don't compare it to Metroidvania stuff. And I love Orochi Warriors. And I think Dragon Blade was cool from what I played. So yeah, just because every game isn't OMGTHEGREATESTNEWESTTHINGEVAR doesn't mean it's crap.

Lament of Innocence wasn't THAT bad. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest and Castlevania 64 are far, far worse.
Well, Nex, guess I'm just not one to place either looks or originality on so high a pedestal. Hell, GSNband is my favorite RPG of all time.
Although if LoI is your most hated Castlevania, I'm guessing you never played Curse of Darkness or Castlevani 64. In that respect, you were wiser than I.'
(Death to Castlevania II haters though. DutyFree, I'm looking at YOU.)

Mozgus, I own and have beaten ToD2 and it has nothing on Symphonia.
The battle system is much better and so is the story. I enjoyed ToD2 a great deal, but after I beat it I never felt compelled to go back and play it again. ToS on the other hand I've played through multiple times because it's just more fun.
Anyway, the clip doesn't make the game look horrible.. the visuals aren't bad looking for the wii, but it looks like it's going to be an extremely shallow game that I'll pick up used a few months after it's release.

I heard this game was a waggle fest. Like if you flail your arms continuously you will be invincible ball of slashes, dodges, and blocks.

"The above game DOES look like CoD, but CoD slightly edges out LoI by including a Belmont."
I think you're confused Nex. LoI has the first Belmont as the main character and CoD only has Trevor as a bonus character? Or are you saying Leon isn't a Belmont? Coz' he's certainly not as bad as that prat Juste.

If this game blows, it will be the first Soul title to do so. Every game from the PSOne to the PS2/Cube/Xbox has been incredibly solid. I sure hope this doesn't buck the trend.
I think IGA is a hypocrite who gets much more credit than he deserves for the series, and needs to stop acting like he's the god of Castlevania. With all his "non-canon" this and "oh I regretted that", when HE'S the one responsible for half that stuff. The guy doesn't have the balls to make a Metroidvania on anything but the DS, so we're never going to get a superior sequel to SotN. And considering his PS2 outings, do you really think he's going to bring out any kind of console title that will be on the level of SotN?
You know what would actually make me buy this game? If they added some of the old Soul Calibur games with online play as a bonus feature.
Holy crap!
That DOES look ridiculously like Lament of Innocense. I mean, you could have probably told me that this was a a recently found secret bonus character in LoI and (since it's been so long since I've played it) I'd probably believe you.
I mean, the graphics, the enemies, the gameplay, it's all the same. And I'm not one to usually rag on the Wii about graphics but COME ON, Namco! This game looks as good as a PS2 game from the beginning of its life cycle.
Also, I actually ENJOYED LoI for what it was (I only spent $10 on it) and I felt that Curse of Darkness was more of a step back for Castlevania in 3D than anything in LoI.

Woah woah woah, IGA says all the future games are non-canon now? Where the hell did that come from? I'd really like to read that interview if you could find it. I mean, I know IGA said he regretted locking himself in with the timeline, but I don't remember him lamenting anything else. It's weird if he said that recently after he just released Portrait of Ruin last year and tied it in with previous Castlevania games. Furthermore, I'm still waiting for a game that covers the events of 1999, with Julius Belmont as a main character.
Also, Leon is the first Belmont since the first Belmont was never really defined. I mean, there's the (now non-canon) Castlevania Legends with Sonia Belmont, but that game sucked horribly (and contradicted Symphony of the Night) and should never have been included in any Castlevania library to begin with.

I know everyone says PoR is better, and I thought so at first too. And while it may have been more refined, it still lacks the raw creativity and style of SotN. None of them have had things like the hidden weapon moves, kicking shopkeepers chairs, or wearing pixel heightening boots.
Plus I'm not a fan of the ridiculous grind they've been putting on the games since Aria. First with the soul collecting, then with the MULTIPLE soul collecting, and now with the using subweapons a billion times, ON TOP of the drop collecting from SotN.
And don't tell me that a console 2d sequel couldn't be awesome. Look at that ninja game Vanillaware is making. I want to see something like THAT in a new 2d Castlevania. Instead we get an endless wave of recycled enemies and environments, with just enough new to make it fun.
Honestly I don't think I'll really ever be satisfied until there is a sequel that stars Alucard anyways.
