No Steam Cloud listed on Store Page?
Heads up -- Just found this on the US PlayStation app on iPhone. Bought and downloading now.
edit: oh guess it's everywhere now.

Just installed, launched, fired up COTM and quit - can confirm it's showing a cloud save in the Steam settings. Probably just forgot to tag the feature on the listing?
How's the trophy list? Got a platinum?
Steam Achievement list doesn't look too bad I think, very little for Dracula X.

I own CoTM and Aria on GBA but the SP backlight is atrocious nowadays and my phat DS is busted. I'll get this soon, once I beat some of the games I'm currently playing. I was legit surprised at the shadow drop.
Really hope switch also gets the requiem duo so we get a good version of Rondo(and SotN), DracX is really not good. Definitely gonna pick this up for every other game though!
These are straight ports right? So the DSS swap trick still works correct?
already I can't wait for Nathan's run ability

Love these games to death (except Dracula X ) but the switch lite d pad can go fuck itself…Not sure if it's the placement or the stiffness that bothers me, or both, but it's annoying me in COTM.
But it's not like the GBA SP d pad was all that great, and I spent a ton of hours playing Aria on that.
I almost feel like I shoulda got the steam version so I can use a proper controller.

That's crazy, haha. i don't normally go for all cards, but this is cool. Might do this since I already finished it when it first came out.
It should still work (but haven't tested it), but you can also farm cards with the rewind and you can enable a card and soul tracker for Circle and Aria
It does have a Platinum, which I am surprised since the Contra and OG Castlevania collections didn't, but very happy about it!
COTM looks really great now that all the color and detail is on full display. I played it on OG GBA at first and struggled with how dim it was.
It looks great in this collection.

Requiem will probably stay PlayStation-exclusive due to Sony helping with its development. If Rondo and Symphony come to other systems, it'll be in some other collection (or standalone releases, etc.).
Feel like my Issue with HoD is it has nothing to collect iirc meaning you dont endup grinding meaning you may be under leveled more. The other two have the Cards and Souls to collect making you grind more as a result. Plus cool powers.

Now lets get some good filters. You might need to change file extensions or whatnot to get them to show up in whatever emulator you feel like using. Don't actually know what the patch parts of the filenames refer to as I can't remember but I don't think the anniversary collection had anything like that in the filenames.
Tested a few of them, they all seem to work fine.

It seems pretty nice to me. Just three trophies for Dracula X and a series of challenging but fair trophies for the GBA games.

Right, but that one wasn't done by M2 I don't believe like the other 3, the Arcade one wasn't either and it had a Platinum. Just weird how some get it and some don't. Sony needs to change whatever backend hoops they have for the points system cause I hate when games don't get a plat since I get games on the platform mainly for trophies over my Series X, Switch and Steam.
I wonder which revision of HoD the collection uses. The version that came bundled with Aria on a single GBA cart had some minor localization/item drop changes.Follow this:

I've just started playing. I hate the way the name of the enemy pops up at the right hand side of the screen everytime you hit them. It's really distracting and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off. Such a weird choice.
double dipped on Day 1 (fuck me) but playing it on my PS5 is awesome, its on external storage for w/e that's worth. I love how when you utilize rewind or any of the Collection menu features the White Rabbit from Aria shows up for half a second and asks ya to get ready and then bam you're back in the game
Go to gadget settings in the pause menu to turn it off. It's neat, but I don't think it should've been on by default.
The gadget settings is what will toggle it off I believe, its aa card and soul tracker for Circle and Aria and yea I wish it didn't go into the game screen portion of the screen when in pixel perfect mode but I'm fine with it as is personally. they probably had to have it at that length for the various languages cuz English I could see it being a tad shorter (so as not to intrude the game screen) and it would fit fine.
It's literally roms. You can extract them all and use them in whatever emulator you want. Through the bundled emulators seems fine, no real options for filters/color correction etc. some harmony etc. will look awfully bright. Some qol features but nothing unique to steam.
Edit: when run through steam I'm noticing a very slight microstutter every, idk, 5 seconds or so. I'm running this on an optimus laptop so wouldn't put it past some issue related to that, but ymmv. Might look at some diags and see if there's anything obvious.

Thank you! I saw that option but misread it as being able to turn off the ability to obtain souls, I couldn't understand why anybody would want that and ignored it afterwards.
Yeah, AoS does a pretty good job on its own of denoting whether or not a soul you obtain is a repeat soul, so the option is kind of redundant there.
It's actually pretty helpful in CoTM though, where it's honestly a bit of a pain to keep up with (and multiple enemies sometimes drop the same kinds of card). I'm keeping it on there. I think HoD only tracks dropped items, so I'll probably turn it off there, though. Pretty much every QoL feature in this collection seems to positively impact CoTM, really.
small aside, but will this lower or raise prices on the old carts?
