"Castlevania Symphony of the Night did many things for the Castlevania franchise. It spawned a period of exploration-heavy, non-linear titles in the franchise. Most of them being hand-held releases, hitting Nintendo’s GBA and eventually the DS. Each one of these portable entries are rewarding experience in their own rights and should be experienced by gamers. Problem is, they’re kind of hard to get your hands on nowadays. So what better way to reach the masses than by offering digital re-releases of these games, just how Symphony of the Night received one on the XBLA, consequentially raising the memory limit of XBLA’s releases that followed it. Fans have been clamoring for such a possibility, to be able to play these great games, with enhanced visuals on a home console. Judging by this excerpt from Nowgamer’s article on the making of Symphony of the Night, it seems possible"
Love single player RPGs? Here at HardcoreDroid we've complied a list of the top ten offline Android RPGs as of 2020.
Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.
What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.
A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.
IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.
Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.
But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.
But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.
Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

🧛🔥🔥 🔥
No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.
I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.
Inspiration is a big part of the game industry, but if a game is inspired by another does it cheapen the experience? CGM's Jordan Biordi tries to examine the concept.
SotN will go to PSN
Nothing for XBLA.
I think bringing more Castlevania games to XBLA & PSN is always a great thing. So I hope this turns out to be true.
Too bad, I already have the authentic copies of these games...
This article is bullshit, the games wont ever go to the psn/xbla
Here's an idea, PUT OUT THE ORIGINAL Castlevania GAMES!! God, why is it that everyone thinks SotN was gold and everything else was pure bullshit? I REALLY want to know. Sorry, but this pisses me off. I'd like to see a kid these days play Halo or CoD then play Castlevania III. He'd get his ass handed to him.
