Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as the Castlevania series. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
I love the little bit of the Chapel music blended in amongst the main song. Aria of Sorrow is right up there with Super Castlevania 4 and Symphony of the Night as my favorite Castlevanias.
Damn, I miss Michiru Yamane...she left Konami almost 2 years back, after Order of Ecclesia came out (well, technically after Elebits for the Wii came out, but come on...she was an EXCELLENT composer for Castlevania games...)
@ifnsman Shit, she left? Wow, didn't know that... well I did notice that the later games started having half-remaked music from older games and other music that didn't hold up to my interest but... *sigh* seems like Castlevania has lost a future fan, the music always set the mood for me :/
@Andkloras Don't get me wrong, I'd still buy more Castlevania games! I thought the whole series was perfect, ESPECIALLY after I played Symphony of the Night as a child...and I have all 3 of the DS Castlevania games including Order of Ecclesia (which are all also PERFECT!)
But, the experience is now nostalgic with the older games and it just doesn't feel the same anymore without Michiru Yamane in Konami...
@GeneralErlend She became an independent music composer after she left, and yes...from what I saw about the Best Music Collection, she did compose the music in the last two discs.
Mana-sama really wants to do music for Castlevania^^it would be so cool if Mana-sama's music was in a Castlevania game^^ and also if Versailles did music for it too^^
Mana from malice Mizer/Moi Dix Mois? yeah. A lot of Malice Mizers music sounds real castlevania-y I made my friend listen to some of it and he was like, "what is this, Castlevania?"
Also, coincidentally, I found on DA, a drawing of Klaha in "castlevania style". He fits SURPRISINGLY well.
The reason for that is because the Time Reaper was sent back in time in order to destroy Dracula in the past to change history. The reason Soma wasn't in the game was because he was from a time AFTER Dracula was destroyed.
Well, I'd agree with you on that note...but I'm quite glad Soma was left out of the game. Spare him the horrid re-design and the terribly unresponsive controls and the over-all suckage of that game.
Needless to say, if Judgment was done RIGHT, then I'd be disappointed Soma wasn't in it because he could make a very versatile character. You can imagine him busting out Alastor, then Hellfire before growing a scorpion's tail all in one combo. That would be awesome!!
I agree, to basically everything ... but then I realized! I was really happy they didn't put Soma in Judgement. The image of Soma in my mind would completely defiled by a image of (My imaginary speculations here) some random guy who does not look like Soma covered with lots of belts, zippers, chains, crosses and a jacket with 24 pockets. Maybe next time, in a game that keeps a character's original model.
Haha, that's actually the same thing I thought... I was happy most of the Castlevania characters wasn't it Judgment... basicly because: 1. The characters in the game doesn't look like they should, 2. None of them had facial expressions or feelings, 3. I hate fighting games, especially when the game is just a buttonmasher.
Oh..Yeah I Think You're Right...Cause Yes Soma Is The Best character In that series...Um Next Is Juste Then Alucard....And In Judgment???Um...I Think in my Imagination, He will appear in A Dracula Costume I guess...
NICE pics!! btw lord of shadow will have kojima team working on it (shouts madly*) XD can't wait to see. i bet it will be a game out of this world and when you're on top of ecxtasy the game'll be over.
It is unfortunate that all of the 2D Castlevania games after SOTN had to be limited to the portable systems. Just imagine if say Aria of Sorrow had been on PS2 or PS3, able to have an entire soundtrack with beautiful pieces such as this.
Instead, the awesome talent of Yamane had to be limited to the less-then-vast audio capabilities of the GBA and NDS.
Yeah, can agree there... why can't a 2D Castlevania game be made for Wii or PS3? It's not like the more advanced consoles only need 3D games and other lame 2D games no one gives a crap about.
because if you're going to make a game that uses barely a fraction of a current-gen console's power, you're better off making it for a handheld that more people own
Yes, that's true... but I wouldn't care about that when I buy a game, if it takes up the fully capability of the console that is. After all, better graphics never makes better games, but music do.
Meh still... the creators only wants money, so they would never market a 2D Castlevania game to other advanced consoles.
Ok..but thats still no reason for them not to make 2D Castlevania games that DO take advantage of the current-gen systems' capabilities. Capiche'?
Why not make these SOTN-style games, but with larger areas, more 3d backgrounds (Much like The Pinnacle, Olrox's Quarters), high quality music, and most of all..HD Sprites.
Its like if game developers are too lazy to be creative, and think that just because everything CAN be in 3D, that it has too.
Well we'll see about that MiDSinister :P I think IGA has a remake of SOTN up his sleeve in 2.5D just like Dracula X Chronicles. Then we'll see some nice 'backgrounds' and music, probably just to the PSP however.
Oh I meant when you control Soma in Aria of Sorrow, I mean after collecting those 3 souls and achieving the "good" end by becoming dark Soma...you should have gotten more powerful since he inherited Dracula's powers... but all he got was a different look and ruffled hair...
this was my fav castlevania game hands down others are great but this effected me more
