Campus connection + Long break = Furious FTP uploading.

Wow... character art... so boring. "As the Castlevania Turns..."

Here's hoping it's a great game, though.

ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i want this now

Some people appreciate character art just as much as screens.

That character art is fantastic. Best I've seen in a Castlevania since SotN. As for the game, it too looks amazing. Can't wait to play it.

Hey, so do I. Just not digging on these particular designs too much...

I'm not a Castlevania fanboy...fap fap fap fap

Man oh man... Thanks muchly for the character art!

So, I hear that they're reworking the engine so that the sound will be as good as COTM, and the graphics will be as good as HOD...

When this game comes out, I think I'm going to put AOS, HOD and COTM all in my underwear and do naughty things.
