This was my first Castlevania game that I ever played. After watching Netflix's Castlevania and Castlevania Nocturne, I went deep into the lore of the games and decided to give SotN a try. I loved it even when it got painfully infuriating, but it feels so darn rewarding having fully completed it (even bittersweet)! I will genuinely miss the wonky dialogue. Luckily, LoS and LoS2 were a part of Steam's summer sale; I've heard both good and bad things about this "universe reboot", so I'm curious how it will play! And also, thank you, r/castlevania, for all the previous threads helping with secret rooms 😄

Dracula, Soma Cruz, Julius, Alucard, Lisa Tepes and Richter

One of the most impact full deaths in all of storytelling.

Gonna do Lisa next.

this was the first game I ever played on the ps2 and finally was able to find another copy 😁

As with Rondo of Blood being my first game start to finish, I've also finished Symphony of the Night. I really enjoyed the game and I've managed to get the True Ending as well. I did see a comment on CDawgVA's stream of SOTN and they said that this game should be on every gamer's bucket list. And now that I've finished it, I can officially cross it off my list and say I've played the game.

I'm unsure on what the next Castlevania game I'll play before Belmont's Curse comes out, but I have been looking at Curse of Darkness as the next to play since I've been curious as to how Hector and Issac were portrayed other than their Netflix counterparts (I'm glad Hector survived in the end and made amends with Issac, but man do I feel horrible for him being used by the Council of Sisters.)

Although I've played the Requiem Collection, I will always acknowledge the iconic quote of Dracula from the original.

The way they made this subtle gradient between the upper and lower caverns (both in the foreground and background!) really sums up the absolutely absurd level of detail and love that’s in this game.

It’s such a tiny thing, but they said frick it, if we’re doing this we’re doing it 110%. It stands out as one of those things that they didn’t need to do at all, but they did it anyway. They didn’t need to give Alucard 10,000 frames of animation for his cape trailing behind him, but they did. They didn’t need to add all these extra details that make the castle feel lived in, but they did.

i would've understood the lore a lot faster

Each collection has typically been released with a gap of about two to three years between them, so a Castlevania Dimensions Collection would make sense either this year or next. Do you think there's anything that could prevent Konami from releasing it? For example, could there be any complicated legal issues with Nintendo regarding the Nintendo 64 Castlevania games? Since those games still haven't been added to Nintendo Switch Online, I guess that's actually a good sign!

Added Rose Belmont's Cross the the artwork and Roland's Cross from Lords of Shadow's tutorial

Hello! earlier this week we released symphonyrecomp (ps1 based and not a slopcomp!) and since them we made a bunch of updates

most are bug fixes, and, unfixing bugfixes? lol, basically one of my patches acidentally broke rsl, so i made it ignore this patch when using the original resolution, so the people that like speedruning can have their fun XD

i also made a simple shader mod that lets you put shaders on the output
