This is a thread about Castlevania Requiem being announced for the PS4 on 10/26, and not for port-begging.

Both games are the originals emulated for the PlayStation 4, with several updates that take advantage of the new hardware. This includes 4K/1080p upscaling, multiple high resolution backgrounds, different rendering options such as smoothing and full Trophy support. Word of warning though, that Platinum will be tough to get. Elsewhere, Requiem will make use of the DualShock 4's vibration, analogue stick and speaker, with the latter meaning you'll hear a cool little chime when you pick up an item.

$20 price

Considering Richter is in Smash, the platform choice seems a little baffling, but here it is.

I hope it comes to PC as well, but whatever, day 1.

Do we have a price?

I hope the port is good, Rondo of Blood deserves it.

Nice, wonder what resolution its in though.

I'd be amazed if the exclusivity was for very long.

Why is this Playstation Exclusive? Sony hardly made a deal for something like Castlevania would they?

I cannot logically think they would have done this on their own accord?

So it is just the originals repackaged, huh. I love Castlevania, but I prefer playing these on Vita...and I already have them on Vita. Seems kind of a pointless release (only made reasonable by the PS4's lack of backwards compatibility), but I guess some PS4 only people might not have played them.

Neat, it is going to be my Halloween game. I'm way too easily scared to play proper horror games.

Not capitalizing on Richter in Smash, huh? I'll still probably get it, eventually.

Edit: If it has a physical version.

lol

My hunch is that in 2019 it'll come in some form on other platforms as well. Not worried honestly

In the meantime I'll be replaying Rondo on PS4, so it ain't that bad.

Not even the whole Dracula Chronicles X package... oh well, I might still get it, because these two aren't that great on a PSP screen anyway.

It is really weird to bring Richter's game exclusively to PS4 given Smash. Kind of a missed opportunity to ride that Smash wave.

People were hoping for a collection with 1-4 along with these games, so this is a pretty weird product.

For what it's worth every time I have heard this game mentioned, it was not as an exclusive.

Why use the Dracula X Chronicles art for Rondo if they're using the original version as the selling point? Anime Richter looks much better.

Not really sure how I feel about these games without a CRT Filter that is a quality filter. They always put those jack shit filters in and it looks like trash, but something like CRT Easy Mode makes these games look so good. I really don't like a lot of pixel art without a good filter.

Maybe Sony was trying to get symphony for the PlayStation classic and konami said give us a little more money and we'll port it to PS4 as well.

Thank goodness it's the PC Engine version of Rondo. I wonder what the price will be.
