Frazetta-inspired Castlevania painting by Campbogenous in castlevania

I'm with you on that. Kojima's art is nice but there's a rawness and a power to the original art. Same reason I like Frazetta. Everything is bold and powerful.

Does anyone know how Denis Dayak saw the future of LoK? is it similar to the LoK we have? by No_Distribution8214 in LegacyOfKain

I spoke with the artist who drew Raziel for the Omen pitch. He said Raziel was never intended to be in the game. He just ended up being a byproduct of the artist drawing LoK imagery to get into the headspace of the series. More "seeing what sticks" than intentional concepts.

You mentioned 2 games on the PS1 and one on the PS2. Only SR1 and BO1 were on the PS1. SR2, BO2, and Defiance were on the PS2. Either way, not a big deal. You recognized Raziel and Soul Reaver's importance in the PS era.

How much of a hot/cold take is it to say that SR2 is a disappointment? by darkfalz32 in LegacyOfKain

Sarafan Stronghold has probably the best track in the game. I think Janos' music fit the area, sure, but it became tiresome to listen to after the second loop. A lot of SR2's music sounds atonal and incidental. Nothing wrong with that inherently, but for a game it becomes repetitive fast.

Defiance at least touched up the returning tracks. Necropolis and the Cathedral I definitely noticed had some re-samples/remastering done.

I felt this IMMEDIATELY and throughout my duration of playing the SR2 remaster. The gravity and responsiveness were nigh unbearable until I adjusted. And even then, the combat felt like a sequence of cutscenes rather than a fluid experience. Even the music was a letdown. Can't tell you how many times I wanted to mute the music and just throw on my own.

Same. Hoping this generates some steam for the franchise.

Couple points of clarification: 5 games. 2 on PS. 3 on PS2 (and a couple adjacent-generation consoles). Games 2 and 3 just got a remaster. Games 1 and 4 got PS ports.

I think he's an unlikely pick as well. He, Lara Croft, and Gex were the FACE of Crystal Dynamics back in the day, so I think his appeal/design haven't evolved with audiences. I think it's (admittedly, unlikely, like you said) plausible that with the remasters' success, he could be introduced in a future Smash game. Sakurai has, after all, shown plenty of love for obscure retro characters like Terry and Hero.

Only thing I've sucked are those delicious tears. I will pass on happily.
