How do we revive it?

Well we just work a ritual to bring back Dracula, and I'm certain some Belmont of some sort will show up.

Sony doesn't really need Konami's IPs.

We have an ample supply of virgins to sacrifice it should be pretty easy desu

You are correct, but that's the matter of whether or not Konami decides to pursue a business future in exploiting a legal loophole in Japan.

The same thing can be said for Mario and Zelda, yet look at them, what castlevania needs to do is to stop itself so seriously and treat itself more like a Halloween party, or at least a good mix of both.

Give it to Nintendo and let them dick around with it like apes.

I don't see why Castlevania can't do both. A commitment to a concrete timeline/serious continuity was and remains stupid, but that doesn't preclude serious games. A game being light on story doesn't preclude seriousness either, and a game being heavy on story doesn't preclude goofiness. Castlevania is pretty flexible.

I think we just need to get the five pieces of Dracula and then bring them together right?

1999 Game with young-ish Julius Belmont.

I'd rather it stay dead than risk the monkey's paw of letting it get another game tainted with Netflix bullshit. Classicvanias are already forgotten/dead so why even bother at this point.

Get some new blood at Konami with love of the IP and some fresh ideas.

Make versions of all the non-canon games like Legends/Circle of the Moon/64/Legacy of Darkness where they become canon.
Have games between Leon and Trevor of what the Belmont Clan was doing prior to Dracula reemerging

The Castlevania anime follows the source material pretty close but not quite.
I'd like to see the next game be with Simon Belmont and be in the same timeline as the anime.
Either the anime timeline or a new rebooted timeline.

Hey, man, the first 2 seasons of that Netflix show were pretty great. I like that it made Castlevania relevant again.

>Pretty close
They all hate God, the church is vilified (and it's even the wrong church for the region), there are even plot holes due to this, Dracula is a mope who isn't the fiery "destroy the world" guy he is in the games, Hector is a joke that isn't even funny, and Alucard is derailed into starting to become like his father, the antithesis of his character across the ages of the game series.

give IGA the oportunity to make the 1999 game

>Castlevania anime follows the source material pretty close
Yeah like how your mouth follows pretty close nigger dick

Julius got be more rookie than johnathan was
and johnathan gotta show up as a old man with a realy old lady Charlotte

thankfully is getting canned soon

A start could be having actual threads about it and not low-tier Yas Forums threads in disguise

>The Castlevania anime follows the source material
Not really. I don't consider it a fault of the series, but there are plenty of major divergences.

At this point, I think it's best that it stays dead. Stop raping its tomb

>hector is not happly married to a num after the events of CV3
nope
the cartoon is shit

The back story of Castlevania 3 for NES was not very detailed.
The anime adds a bunch of stuff but doesn't contradict stuff specified in the back story.

Do something like Mega Man 11 and do a new 2D game that goes back to the series's roots without regressing, while introducing some new stuff.

>The back story of Castlevania 3 for NES was not very detailed.
well they fucked it up the part that WAS very detailed

Just the fuck up you dumb faggot, anyone that ever read two lines of the Castlevania story can tell this cartoon is a travesty

Castlevania should've died after the DSvanias. DoS was a nice bittersweet end for the franchise where Dracula finally gets to rest in with his wife's (sorta not really implied) reincarnation. A dark lord will rise to be the opposite of god, but Dracula is free from his shackles.

If Sony buys all of this what does Konami have left?

*rest in piece

Seconding this.

Nothing, which is why I'm skeptical of the rumor. Konami has a lot to lose and Sony has little to gain. Konami has viable IPs but they have very little to offer that Sony can't do themselves.

The Netflix adaptation DOES contradict the story in the NES game, both the U.S. version and the actual, properly conveyed and translated Japanese material. This is both for the game itself and the manual. Additionally, it gets core elements, aspects, and themes of the ENTIRE series wrong.

It arguably contradicts the core premise by making the series more about Dracula's cronies than the heroes.
Season 1+2 still doesn't feel like a Dracula's Curse adaptation, even if it was entertaining.

I hope it happens I fucking hate Konami

What makes (You) keep coming back to the Castlevania series? Is it the consistently good soundtrack? The artstyle? The enemy designs?

Yes.

The people became afraid of their powers and the church could have been part of that. I don't see a contradiction here. Priests would be included in Townspeople.

The townspeople and the church are generally referred to as different groups in the title scroll.

A bit of everything, though I'll admit I don't really care for Ayami Kojima as much as everyone else seems to. I like the Classicvanias and the Metroidvanias both, though I prefer the classics.

Add there good old Jump and Whip

You want to make Castlevania great again? Then we have to take baby steps.
Do a sequel to Dawn of Sorrow, with more rare souls appearing for less grinding. The formula worked.
Then, do a metroidvania in the vein of bloodlines. More 2D action with a world war theme, vampires and monsters galore. With music by the same chick who composed the best tracks.

People will buy it.

and trevor being a atheist in the show?
can you explain that?

I want to fuck Shanoa

Classicvania where you play a Belmont hunting something other than Dracula. Maybe build up some werewolf lore, they were always cool fights

The gameplay is comfy as fuck. The music is amazing. The monsters and environment are fun.

the church is not mentioned in the scroll at all.
I don't see why this is a big deal. Would people just kick people out of the country on their own without the church approving of it, even if it is a time where the church has power over the people?

I like classic horror movies and literature
I like the gameplay
I like the atmosphere
I like the setting

If Konami gets rid of all 3, they'll still have Bomberman, Contra, Frogger, and the Yu-Gi-Oh card game. I'd also not want Sony to have Castlevania.

Have you played it?

They'll still have other IPs, too. I didn't mean literally nothing; I mean that they will be drained of their most prominent/relevant IPs (save for Yu-Gi-Oh!, which I don't know much about but I imagine is still somewhat lucrative). Again, to Konami this would be a large loss, but to Sony it wouldn't be much of a gain at all.

Put bones on the phone

Idk why Konami squats on Bomberman.

They did Bomberman R at least.

The Japanese title scroll does mention the church. The U.S. version got a few things wrong, but not nearly as much as the U.S. manual did. Someone translated both a while back and IIRC you can find the info on the Castlevania Wiki.
