Loads more impressive than the older fan project. This one actually feels like it has the small tweaks that make the big differences. It's very silly out of context, but it honestly must feel good to hear people express in shock that "Sonic is fast."

But wow, that sure explains why they're called Hentai Quills.

Silver actually looks really cool in this

I remember my cousins had this game years ago 

Oh hey its that game I kept confusing with Killer7 for some reason!

I can understand no sotn but...really no Rondo???

Dude, there is gonna be a second collection. So Rondo and Symphony are totally gonna be in there

Hopefully is gonna be:

Main games
* Rondo
* Symphony
* Circle
* Dissonance

Secret
* Aria
* Dawn
* Portrait
* Ecclesia

Was a second game confirmed?

Yes.

From the start. 

It said something like "this is the first collection"

On mobile - Which games are in this?

Castlevania I

Castlevania II

Castlevania III

Super Castlevania IV

Castlevania The Adventure

Casltevania II Belmont's Revenge

Castlevania Bloodlines 

Kid Dracula

@JosepHenry I'm expecting the second collection to encompass the Rondo-SotN duology and the 3D titles (i.e. Castlevania 64, Legacy of Darkness, Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness, possibly Judgment too). The GBA and DS games are tricky because of the reduced sprite quality (though to be fair, this first collections includes GB games, so it's more possible than i think) and the gimmicky touch controls that would have to be implemented in other ways for versions different from ones that can use them (i.e. PC, handled mode Switch and stretching it far, the PS4 controller).

.... Oh no....

Thanks for the heads up

9/11!? Certainly not. Three thousand people died as a result of 9/11. Two historic landmarks were knocked down to an enormous pile of rubble as a deliberate act of devil monsters hijacking planes.

In Paris, most of the building is said to be safe. No-one apparently was killed. Its a super long way from being a French 9/11.

Yeah, I have to agree with Paddy here. While the fire is certainly devastating for some people, comparing it to one of the worst terrorist attack in America seems like a real stretch.

What this does remind me of, is the Bank Buildings fire in Belfast, Northern Ireland last August. Its a historic structure, though mostly known to those living in the country. Certainly not world famous, no book or Disney animated film written. Belfast came together in solidarity to carry on as normal after several businesses were affected by the exclusion zone enforced, that gradually shrank over time, although currently the Tesco Metro remains shut to this day for being too close.

No-one died in that incident either, but the old building was gutted. Just the charred shell of the facade holding in a pile of rubble.

What about the Brazilian museum that burnt down?

Yeah.. gonna say no on that last part myself. I fully realize both the historical and religious significance of the structure but in all honesty, this was pretty controlled all things considered. As of writing, there were 0 casualties which is a blessing in itself and fully eliminates it from being anywhere near the level of 9/11, thankfully. Not to mention that most of the structure is still standing and can be rebuilt.

This could've been A LOT worse and it's a miracle that it wasn't. What happened today was devastating, yes. But it wasn't, by any means, a 9/11 event.

The only think this has in common with 9/11 is that there are two towers. I'm just so relive to know the building still stands and most everything is safe now.

I've loved watching Hunchback since as a kid and took part in a performance of that almost a year ago. So it was highly unsettling for me to first hear about it and watch as the scariest part of that movie virtually come to life. But no one was hurt, and only a portion of the architecture has been lost. And even that portion isn't gone for good. We can rebuild it back to what it mostly was before.

Yeah, if a terrorist wanted to start Paris' version of 9/11 (assuming they were even responsible for this to begin with), they'd probably target something much more packed with people with heavy significance, like the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre during peak tourist hours or something. Notre Dame has significance historically, but like everyone else noted, the damage was pretty minimal and controlled, and the building can be rebuilt given time.

Depends on which Gatekeeper.

The VHS one would throw all of us there because we rolled the dice wrong, but the DVD one would do it for lols

Penders should have zero association with a work of art as pure and perfect as The Dover Boys at Pimento University

And yes, they also fixed Vaan's abs in case you're wondering.

There’s a trailer??

Oh the joker movie 

What other Joker is there?

I think he looks too old to be Joker? I dunno. If this is some weird setup to get him the DCMU well uhhhh... How does he look younger in the present?

The higher ups already confirmed it's a stand-alone non-canonical movie.

GAMERS RISE UP

That's still too close

Play the new Paw Patrol game in the meantime? I mean it has paw in its name...

Meh.  There weren't really any cruel ones yesterday. 

"not any cruel ones"

*Ice cream scoop drops from cone*
Dante, if only you never existed, then I...!

Better be decent since everyone else keeps dropping out. E3 being gutted sucks because it used to be the highlight of my uneventful summers tbh.

Everyone being Sony and...?

....nintendo

yes i still wish they did big stage presentations

Meh, even if it's just another themed Direct, Nintendo still technically counts in some fashion. Same for EA.
We already got confirmation from Microsoft and Bethesda, so really it's just Sony who's skipping the conference (unless they dedicate a State of Play to it).

Eh, maybe the loud minority are in it for a witch hunt. But honestly, perhaps the majority legit didn't like it because it felt weak,  especially given how cocky Sony have been acting lately. 

Not an excuse to be this aggresive though, this has barely been released for a few hours and everyone on the Internet is treating like it's the antichrist.

*rolls eyes* it was boring. Blaming people for being Nintendo fanboys is in itself coming off biased and ignores the possibility it was a uneventful thing that put its focus on a peripheral not many people have an interest in. It wasn’t shit, no, but it wasn’t good either. Doesn’t mean it can’t improve next time. Hell, nintendo as much as they get them right, have their shit days regarding directs too. End of the day, these are companies that will make billions regardless, so we shouldn’t get defensive or act like they’re getting bullied when some express disappointment in a direct, e3 conference, etc.

Meh,  it's their opinion. I've seen just as much legit criticism. I wouldn't act like all or the majority are really that out of line "witch hunt" style. 

And yeah,  like @KHCastsaid,  it was boring. People are allowed to find boring as terrible.

Doesn’t mean it can’t improve next time.

For that people would have to be willing to allow a next time to happen, wich according to the average comment, it's not what they're saying.

Uh,  Teo. Just because the comments suggest people didn't like it doesn't mean we don't give them a fair chance each time. 

Otherwise, that would mean that Nintendo are screwed whenever they've had a lackluster showing. 

When commenters shit on a bad Nintendo direct, does that stop Nintendo from making them? No. So what’s the problem? Sony isn’t some fragile little Timmy that’ll stop just cause comments say it was bad

That in itself though shouldn't be allowed as an excuse to overreact. Just because you have power doesn't mean you should abuse it.
You can't convince me there isn't bias of any kind behind this, sorry. People weren't this vocal when Xbox had its Inside Xbox shows being slogfests, they just couldn't care less about them.

Admittedly,  Microsoft didn't make as high a big deal out of Inside Xbox as Sony were with State of Play. 

Also,  calling out Sony for a lackluster show =/= "overreacting".

Okay, well I have a PlayStation and mainly game on that, and I think it was a pretty shit boring event. Has nothing to do with a Nintendo bias in my case, and I’m sure most people feel the same. Also Microsoft at this point to people is kinda looked at as meh. They’ve been meh for the entire generation, so then having a meh direct, is pretty on line with expectations. 

Yeah,  honestly the whole accusation of console fanboyism when these kinds of things get called out is so old and outdated.

Yet Switch fans are always ready to cry out at companies for not making versions for their console of current games, to the point of menacing boycotting the entire company as a result.
I'm sure Voldemort never returned either.

Can we not resort to generalizations? It doesn't really help whatever point you're trying to make here. 

Especially when fans want to legit show companies that that there is demand for the game on Nintendo systems. And don't lump everyone into one group. 

Also,  if you don't think so highly of them,  why even pay them the level of mind that you tend to?

@Teoskaven It does sound like your thinking is a little too black and white. Reality ain't that simple. Why even let the extremist views get to you? Every community will have that type of individual. They are loud but they don't speak for everyone.

You shouldn't let their own hate influence your own. Relax and enjoy the content, if you don't, you don't. If you do, you do. If you happen to be surrounded by unpleasant extreme views and can't ignore them, you might be better off finding a different part of the internet to hang out in.

I'm not talking about myself, but Sony itself. If some idiot at the PR department sees all these comments, articles and videos with clickbait approach like "Sony should never do this again" or "This has been absolutely dreadful, my dreams have been crushed", the message that will get will be to never do this kind of presentations ever again. And considering how polarizing the recent events like E3 have been for Sony, cancelling what's a good idea is not something i would want. Transform that message in "this needed more stuff, please put more next time" wich still is criticism, but in a better form that can help rather than destroy.

>inb4 Sony should hire better people for PR then
Yes, but as the THQ Nordic situation shown, companies don't mind too much on who they hire or keep checks on for their PR department so for now i'm gonna assume they need to be spoonfed information and suggestions in the clearest way possible.

@Jovahexeon Fitzroy Because anyone can change and for this situation i'm willing to give a try.

So am I, despite not liking it. Pretty much,  most everyone else is waiting to see it get better. But they're not obligated to be optimistic about it. It's up to Sony to actually provide something that gives people hope.

Honestly, just like with SEGA Capcom or anyone else, if Sony misconstrue stuff that way, it's their fault. Not the consumer's. And the consumer has no obligations to sugar coat things for their sakes.

It was horrible.  Just saying.  Must of the games looked like demos, could easily have been smaller announcements or were covering up the fact they were actually delayed without mentioning it even.

The fact that most of these were VR-exclusive meant that most of the people who have  vanilla PS4 would be unable to play it anyways.  A PSVR set cost almost as much as the Nintendo Switch itself, and that's not including the games.  Literally, very few games have been acclaimed, with Game Informer once mentioning that the only true full game was Resident Evil.
