Do you ever get the feeling youre being watched... |
Konami needs to bring this IP to market as an mmo...just tossing it out there as an idea... Discuss... |
|
I think making it a MMO would be a bad direction for the IP. Not everyone can be a Belmont, how would you fit a story in with hundreds of vampire killers running around? |

Thats what is great, you can take the IP in any direction, horror lore with monster classes and such...who knows just spit ballin... |

Better they use their other horror series (Silent Hill). I could see that being made into a MMO. Something like Dead Frontier in a more open world. It just won't make sense to make Castlevania into a MMO. I don't see what direction you could possibly take the IP in without completely retconning the IP. |

The MMO genre as a whole is a running joke considering a 5+ year old game is so dominant. |
No, castlevania is too good for MMOs...>> |

No. No, we do not. How about we just have more games Not based on some obscure IP. Morrowind and Oblivion might as well be considered persistent world games, just for how rich and expansive they are with lore and things to do. Do we need an Elder Scrolls MMO, no. We need more companies to create their own stuff, like the rest of the gaming world.  "As I know more of mankind I expect less of them, and am ready now to call
a man a good man upon easier terms than I was formerly." -Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784) |

"Easy" only equals "better" for crack addicts and MMORPG developers. |

Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can? - Sun Tsu |
Awesome + Awesome does not always equal Awesome.... Hamburgers are awesome and so is pizza... a Pizza toped with hamburgers will probably be a terrible idea.

Originally posted by Magnum2103 Well, the Belmont clan could be part of the history, with a descendant still living somewhere. There would be a lot of room since there isn't a ton of lore. But it would be boring waiting around every 2000 years for the castle to appear. I think the real problem would be where to put everyone, Transylvania isn't exactly a very big area, and the rest of Romania is mostly unrelated. Plus, it would have to be 2d side scrolling =D |
