Well... I don't know why the hell, but I'm bumping this with a pair of screenshots. The good news is that Death looks cool, but I'm not sure you can ever make him look bad. A bit less cloak-wearing than usual, but interesting. http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gal...27436#img127432

The bad news................... ugh. Please, iron your stomachs and enforce your loins. This...... this........... t-t-t-t-tOH I CAN'T DO IT.

... yup. *packs up suitcase and gets the hell out*

I wish there was a way to unsee that. The fruitiness of Eric's younger look is off the charts.

For some reason, whenever I click those links the pics don't show up. Makes me think that a higher power is protecting my brain from being broken. For now.

Just how young is Eric at the time of this game anyway, I wonder? That spear looks to be three times his size, from another shot which features both him and Death.

He wasn't exactly what I would call masculine in his first appearance, but here... Somehow, I'm reminded of a certain character type.

Anyone remember a PS1 fighting game called Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi (or something like that)?

Yeah, I remember it. For sheer fanboy appeal, it was a worthwhile proposition. But it played like a clunky poor-man's Soul Edge. I think you'd probably have more fun using Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur IV than you ever would playing Masters of Teras Kasi.

Well, least it's a Nintendo console that Konami decided to dump their shittiest Castlevania game on. I personally think the new Castlevania arcade game that uses the remote sensor whip on, I would love to play that game but I may never be given the chance and I don't see an arcade game popularity revival ever happening.

Even that doesn't look as bad, or nearly as fruity, as his latest appearance.

Personally, I would've gone with his Portrait of Ruin appearance, non-spectral, that is. In that one, he kinda looked like a pimp, which was pretty cool.

Y'know, since this is the Judgement thread, I have to ask. Has anyone here even read what the game's plot is all about?

I'll put it as a spoiler for those who don't want it ruined... not like it's not ruined to begin with, but you get the gist. I just... I just find myself laughing at it alone when I recall it and I don't even have a problem with crossover games so to say, but... but this. This.

"The 'plot'"
 
So there's a "time rift" (you can picture me going Dr. Evil making the quote signal with my hands anytime I use quotes for all this summary) where the androgynous new character who looks like yet another Death Note character just older and with lipstick (yeah, don't ask) tells your character that "here he'll find what he desires". As that song goes, "everybody is looking for something", and naturally instead of your character doing the logical thing and telling the character to STFU, he goes "HOLY FUCK THAT'S AWESOME" and then dudelooklikealady who's called "Aeon" (ORLY) challenges you to MORTAL KOMBAT.

Then you go on defeating several other characters where the game manages to contradict ITSELF. Dracula says he remembers Eric, so this is post-Bloodlines, but Alucard has never fought him besides Castlevania III, which they retcon here saying that he wasn't "AT HIS FULL POWER". Y'know, iga, for all your talk that CVIII's is your favorite game, you really manage to run Trevor into the ground.

Either way, after your character beats up everybody else to a pulp jumping from one background to another without any sort of logic progression between stages, you beat your "final boss". And then you get a "soul key", and mister-androgynous telling you that "TWELVE STILL REMAIN".

In other words you have to beat the game 13 TIMES to unlock the ability to see the TRUE ENDING for each character... which is compromised of a WALL OF TEXT.

But that's not all! When you unlock the "true" Story Mode, after you beat your back-then Final Boss, lipstick and white hair shows up again spouting mysticbabble and says that all this shit was caused by someone who's come from "10.000 years from the future". And what's more, he ain't even the mastermind, he's a lackey. Lipstick tells that to progress to this august character only one person is allowed, and he yet again CHALLENGES YOU TO MORTAL KOMBAT, in a Clock Tower stage, where most of the times you won't even have to do anything because he'll RING OUT ALL THE TIME.

Then you make it to the true final boss... who's a screensized Death called "TIME REAPER". After you beat him, you have a 1 in 3 chance that he'll spout the name of he who sent him to cause all this mess. Which is... "LORD GALAMOTH".

Wait. Isn't that an optional boss from SoTN?

http://castlevania.classicgaming.gamespy.c...es/galfight.png

Yep. Thought so.

So a BIPEDAL DINOSAUR WEARING EGYPTIAN ARMOR sends a lackey to fuck up time 10.000 years in the past because he wants to become the "Lord of Darkness" before Dracula bites the dust for good (and I heard people who said that he hasn't become a "Lord of Darkness" prior because Dracula was "too cunning for him". I don't know how accurate this is or if it ain't plain "fanon", but I'm willing to take the bets with iga onboard).

I don't even know what reaction to have. I look forward to "AKUMAJOU GALAMOTH" either way. Thanks, iga, this is so much better than everything you have retconned.
