You may remember a little title that got everyone talking a few weeks ago: Castlevania. Ever since its incredible debut, Konami has remained silent on this hotly anticipated revival of Rondo of Blood, the only Castlevania title never to be released in the States. The upcoming Castlevania X Chronicles not only includes a 3D remake of Rondo of Blood, but includes the fan-favorite Symphony of the Night as well. Games Radar has an incredible interview with Koji Igarashi from GDC available, and here are some highlights:
- After years of working on GBA/DS games, the power of the PSP has been startling: "It's better than what I expected, actually. I'm very happy about the quality. Especially with the graphic quality. The PSP hardware system allows a very high resolution."
- Symphony of the Night will be getting a few enhancements: "So basically, it's mostly a straight port from the original SOTN on PlayStation. I wasn't happy about the quality of the PlayStation SOTN voiceover, so I'm trying to do something about it on the PSP."

wait.. does that mean the SOTN won't have the 2 extra reas per castle and no maria as well!?
THIS CANNOT BE!!!
after playing PoR for the DS and seeing how little maria is near freakishly cheap, they should not remove adult maria! :(
and i was planning to get a PSP just for this title! SOTN was my absolutely most favorite game of all times and then i find out the PSP version won't have maria!? :(

Great, great! I'm really looking forward to this, and further Castlevanias on PSP. "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets" brings back memories, but I wouldn't mind better voiceovers. Oh! And a Richter sprite update wouldn't hurt either (One that goes right with the game's art: The sprite wears a headband and has short hair, the art shows Richter with long hair and no headband)

They can do all the new voice overs they want, as long as that infamous line stays.

You steal men's soul! and make them your slave!
Perhaps the same can be said for all religions!
Man kind ill needs a saviour such as you!
