Title: Hacking SOTN?
Post by: Havermayer on July 19, 2009, 10:37:40 pm
I love me some Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.  The problem is that the game is rather easy though.  

I'd love to play a "Hard Mode" or even just something that balances things out.  Why hasn't it been made? :/

Some dude is hacking it, but he's keeping all to himself.  I looked into it about a year ago and the community is nothing like this.  It's just a bunch of people waiting around for one dude to get done.  It wouldn't be so bad if the guy wasn't being jerk and intentionally hoarding to himself.  He's got a terrible God complex.

I don't want to do anything too crazy.  Just make it a bit harder.  Remove or rebalance unbalanced items.  Increase some drop rates for some things.  Not anything crazy like a new scenario.

I wonder if I could do that myself.  I'll check some guides out.  Any help would be appreciated.  

The more complicated stuff would be adding in the new content from the Saturn version.  There's one new level, a new boss, a new song, and you can play as Maria when you're done.  That would be more complicated.

Heh, SotN was one of my first games. I loved it, and didn't even know about the... other thing... until like a year after I got it. XD

It's worth playing.  One of the better PS1 games.

It is the grandaddy of the current generation of 2D castlevanias and is far superior all them in every way.

Have you seen Lament of Innocent's Succubus?

A ps1 game you say. I had not picked up on that. I might have to go search the bargain bin at gamestop.

She's wearing underwear.  And a top.

Thank you kind sir, but I'll take my mouthful of fur SOTN succubus any day of the week.

SOTN Succubus shows her tits.

I win.

Post by: Eternal on July 21, 2009, 10:33:03 pm
Sadly, it's true. Well, not sad that she shows her, well, you know... but it's sad that you win.

Anyways, are you all referring to those videos with the hacked Creature, Akmodan II, and Slogra/Gaibon?
Title:
Post by: Kuraudo Sutoraifu on July 21, 2009, 11:33:32 pm
Wierd what this thread degraded to.  Not unexpected, but still, wierd.

Anyway, Havermayer's right.  It's one of the best PS1 games, and probably the best 2d platformer I've ever played.  Much like FFT though, when you know how to manipulate it, it's simple.

From what little I saw of the game's graphics, such a thing didn't look like it would be too visible during gameplay.  She seems to show them in the official artwork for the game, however.  A google image search of the game turns that up rather easily because it is the official artwork.

Post by: Pickle Girl Fanboy on July 22, 2009, 04:56:15 pm
There is also a debate on whether she is wearing a thong, or is just nude and unshaven.

SOTN is a direct sequel to Rondo of Blood (which was never released over here).  If anyone plays SOTN, I highly recommend checking out Rondo as well.  It's harder to emulate, but it's worth it.

Also, the English intro for SOTN is pretty awesome/funny:

SotN & Rondo were both released for PSP in Dracula X Chronicles.

You start with the 3D remake of Rondo, and the original and an enhanced SotN can be unlocked.

The 3D remake looks pretty lame.  I just don't like the art style, or new character designs.  Original was perfect as it was.

I don't care for the 3d remake.  The sprites were very slick looking.

can we post pics of the official artwork w/ tits in here?

or is that considered pornography?

art work is good.. I saw it.. I saw it
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on July 23, 2009, 12:56:09 pm
Just showing the tits is not pornography but Zodiac should still make that ruling.

That Gaffy was way different then what we are talking about now.

It was not really erotic in nature. Just disturbing.

Trust me you really dont want to know.

And I dont belive it was ment to be erotic this.  Just differences in culture between usa and japan.  Would you call the sistine chapel ceiling pornography?  Besides its only "criticism" of it
