[PSP] Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles for PSP

Didn't see a tread on the Akumajou Dracula series so I thought I'd make one. I'm really looking forward to the PSP game (out tomorrow in the US). I think a revamped version of Rondo of Blood, the original Rondo, and a re-release of the Saturn SotN is a fantastic idea and should be celebrated. After all, Castlevania is one of the best series out there. PoR wasn't great but still enjoyable, providing how solid it is.

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is an entirely new take at the best Castlevania game to never be released in the US, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. The Dracula X Chronicles brings the beloved action/adventure franchise to the PSP system for the first time, complete with 3D graphics, enhanced gameplay and new music. Completing the Dracula X storyline, this game also includes an unlockable version of Symphony of the Night and players will also be able to unlock the original Rondo of Blood from the NEC PC Engine.

* The classic action game Castlevania: Rondo of Blood re-imagined for the PSP® system with 3D graphics, enhanced gameplay and new music
* Includes unlockable versions of the original Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night games, optimized for the PSP® system
* Timeless side scrolling action through more than 10 gothic stages and additional hidden areas
* Return to previously completed levels to find additional secrets

I've never played the Saturn version of SotN before, which had Maria. If this is the same, will it allow you to obtain the 211% (or something like that) which was obtainable in the Saturn version, instead of 200.6% in the PS1 version?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Except my thread was on Castlevania itself, not specifically one game. Or is a thread called "Castlevania (悪魔城ドラキュラ)" too difficult for you to comprehend?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Summary: It's okay, some vision issues with blur, the redub is lol. SE style slowdown once in a while on original Rondo. Still worth a purchase. Careful if you play as Maria, you can crash the game with her from overloading the screen with junk and causing slowdown so massive it just locks up.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That thread was really based on one game so whatever. Not my fault you find it too difficult to look through a lousy search engine.

Jesus christ.

How about you stop being a fucking カント and start realizing that a 悪魔城ドラキュラ スレ doesn't equal a 悪魔城ドラキュラ game-specific スレ, nor does it equal "failing a search" for this スレ. I don't recommend visiting the Guilty Gear スレ, ever, beacuse yo might begin to wonder which game it is for.

How ya doing, buddy?

You need to just sit back and shut up, champ. That exact post you made was based on Rondo of BLood itself lol. How bout you stop being a bitch and stop getting caught in your own trap. Don't be mad, Tito.

I don't care to carry this on. I'm going to do the only mature thing you'll ever be witness in an argument and move on. Hopefully no shit posting will follow. Now's your chance! Strike swiftly and shut the fuck up for super damage.

Regarding the game itself, Symphony of the Night has an issue where you can easily walk into Death's room and walk right out. I remember there being some old trick where you got hit by a warg or something and it made you fly past death. This means he doesn't steal your items, and your Alucard set is with you for the entire normal castle (and inverted). Apparently it's completely random when it happens, but Death randomly just DOESN'T APPEAR sometimes.

Oh. I've noticed that it's possible to leave boss fight rooms by mashing the triangle button while the game is attempting to load the boss room. I don't see any immediate practical use for this at all.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

What's the first?

FELIPE NO

Hell yes. Although FFT currently holds #1 for me, and would've probably knocked this down if it weren't for the slowdown.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It might be because I play hard games all the time (lol touhou) but I don't find this game difficult at all. Hell, even Cave Story on normal mode is harder. That says something.

But I really like it. It's a fun game. Sure I don't like the new dialogue in SotN but ultimately people play Castlevania for the gameplay, and that hasn't changed a helluva lot.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Solution: Take it back to whatever store you preordered it from and tell them it isn't acceptable. Xaekid, that's just ridiculous. Where did you purchase it from?

How ya doing, buddy?
