Castlevania Requiem (SOTN + Rondo of Blood) announced for 10/26, PS4 exclusive

Never been into the games. Got SOTN along with other games when my cuz gave me his PlayStation. Loved it and played it a ton. Then got it again when it was on the Xbox arcade then got it again for my vita. Only Castlevania game I've ever played.
Maria feels weird to me on the Saturn, like she's oddly overpowered and i can just cheese everything. What's her PSP version like?
But that's what's fun about it, the psp version makes her play similar to Rondo which honestly is pretty boring (not in Rondo but in SoTN, but can be said it's more consistent).
Oh, it's OK if it's not easy to get. But at least there should be one. Hopefully they are not treating these games as smaller titles that get only a few Bronze and one or two Silver Trophies.
Very different.
She has different moves and is less powerful so she is way less overpowered.

You want me to go dig your posts in some previous threads? I could do that but that'd be a gigantic waste of my time. There's quite a few examples in the last thread to draw from though
Rondo is like entering into it on hard mode. You're in for a treat, if you're a fan of black eyes and bloody knuckles.
Castevania 1 and 3 totally hold up, but they are really hard, so beware. Totally worth checking out.
Oh then this is an insta-buy especially because I haven't played Rondo before.
The other way. Weak like shit and boring gameplay. Could not stand playing after the first boss. It's the child moveset but weaker and did not fit SotN design.
Saturn Maria is op but fun.
Yessssss. Can't wait. I have played SoTN about a billion times but I am always up to play it again, and with a Platinum? Ahhhh yeahhhh!
I hope this leads to more re releases. I really need the GBA-DS ones released on something else.

Why is this exclusive again?
It's insane. Thread rebooted, mod post , and thread title....yet still so many port begging and exclusive whining post.
You know what, I think it's been long enough since I played Symphony of the Night. And it comes out just in time for Halloween, so kudos for the release window.
EDIT: I had no idea it was being released on the same day as Castlevania Netflix Season 2. Cheeky bastards.

So much so, that I ended up hooking up my PS3 earlier this year to play Symphony of the Night. But I never got around to playing it. I wonder how both versions will compare.
As mentioned, Rondo is what I'm most intrigued in. I don't believe it has ever been released outside of Japan? Not in its original form at least. The Wii VC might have been the exception, but that's no longer an option.
Nice! I'll be getting this for sure. I already have SOTN on my vita, but I've never played Rondo of Blood before.
Ah, meant to say Home Console. But that is true that is available there.
Wii U broke before I was able to nab Rondo from the VC. Glad to finally have a chance to own it again and not have to dig up the PSP.
They both are and this is key...
These two games offer very different experiences. Rondo is one of the best traditional Castlevania games in the sense that it's a level by level action game with a series of bosses. It has its own unique twists, though, and still plays like a dream. It's nearly my favorite in the series.
SotN then is basically the first open-ended RPG style game. It's a "Metroidvania" - a term that couldn't exist without SotN really. I think it IS still the best game of this type in the Castlevania series.
Either way, these games will provide a great experience if you like action games.
Just beat SOTN on vita a couple of months ago but who am I to say it's not a new experience in 4K on a 60" TV
