PSX Longplay [083] Castlevania Chronicles

[@markula_4040]

When I play Castlevania, I always imagine Dracula sitting in his room watching you tear through his minions on security monitors thinking the next boss is the one that's going to get you.

[@paxhumana2015]

...except that it would most likely be a series of crystalline orbs that project the images onto special mirrors via arcane, occult, and Satanic magic, Internet Tough Guy. I mean, seriously, why would Dracula invent the television like four or five centuries ahead of the rest of the world? He would be bored looking at static, snow, or a black screen all day long. I mean, who would make programs for his televisions in medieval times, anyway? They already labeled him, and rightly so, as an agent of Lucifer. Also, I don't think that you need pecs and two arms on your arm...have you been swimming around the nuclear power plant again?

Castlevania: The Anger Management Chronicles

[@RicardoThePlayer]

This gameplay blew my mind! How did I never hear of a remake of the original Castlevania for the PSone? It looks awesome and the music is just as badass as the NES original!

[@paxhumana2015]

Well, as far as I know, RicardoThePlayer, there was a version of Castlevania for the Japanese MSX, which is a somewhat niche video game console, and that version of the game is the one that is also on this video, and not the NES/FDS versions of the game. However, like Metal Gear for the FDS/NES, the Japanese port of Castlevania, which, up until this game, was known as Akumajou Drakula, just like the FDS version of Castlevania, there are things that are different in this game than its NES/FDS counterparts. Unlike Metal Gear, though, the differences are far more vast for the different Castlevania ports for each system. Now Contra for the MSX, on the other hand, that version of the game should have added more bosses, and then shipped to the NES/FDS that way instead.

It's one of the many depictions of Simon Belmont's assault on Dracula's castle: Castlevania (NES) Vampire Killer (MSX2) Haunted Castle (Arcade) Super Castlevania IV (SNES) Castlevania Chronicles (Sharp X68000 and PSX) Oddly enough, in Japan, each and every one of those games had the exact same name: Akumajō Dracula (Demon Castle Dracula).

[@meganinten0078]

Wow, this version of Dracula's castle is one of the best! It has of everything here, a crystal mine, underground cave, hall of toys, laboratory, etc.

How cute that they brought back the notorious "kneel for a few seconds" trick from Simon's Quest, but not in such a controversial way. In this game, kneeling wins yous 1ups; in SQ it was like, the only way to pass the game, this rendering the game impossible without Nintendo Power

Most Castlevanias end with Dracula’s Castle collapsing at the end. Take the original NES ending for example, or Haunted Castle for the arcade.

[@savageplanet5788]

Why are people saying this game looks like shit? It looks awesome for a 2D PS1 game.

[@paulseidler1644]

Saxon1994 this DOES look like shit considering the ps1 had 'Symphony of the night' which is the best castlevania and one of the best 2d games of all time. This came out after plus the ps1 was perfectly capable of pulling off great 2d gaming yet this looks worse than super castlevania 4!

[@NeoZ45]

Paul Seidler Because this game wasn't originally on the PS1 it actually is from a obscure gaming computer from the 80s known as the sharp x68000, the only thing that the psx hardware is doing here is emulating the game in the original mode, in the arrange mode is pretty much the same although it is actually running in the psx hardware without an emulator reason why it's graphics and music are different

+florence flojo I know. Hell, even I'm not that good! I can beat the game, yes, but I've never made it all the way through without taking damage somewhere along the way. The area that seems to screw me up pretty consistently is the fourth set of stages, a.k.a. the Red Brick Cathedral (21:25-27:30). It seems like I can't avoid taking damage somewhere in that area, whether it be from a standard enemy or from Medusa (I've noticed that when the fight with her begins, it becomes clear that aside from her ability to petrify you, she also LOVES to try to sneak in cheap shots with her tail whenever she can).

[@davidemascolo936]

Great job playing both versions of the game. The original is great (albeit very difficult), with only a few sound effects and Simon's awkward walk as minor annoyances. I like the little graphical enhancements in the Arranged - well, except those awful CG movies. This game looks very dark and gloomy compared to most other Castlevanias - look at the prison, or the laboratory full of corpses. Even the Dracula fight, it's similar to the Rondo of Blood one, yet Dracula's face gets horribily distorted when he loses parts of the energy, he's decapitated, regenerates from the blood, and the demon form is much creepier. A pity several (younger?) players diss this one so much.

So in this video, there are two different soundtracks for Original and Arrange modes? And in T-0815's long play [083], a "Roland GS MIDI music" track is used? So the game in essence has three soundtracks, or did I mishear?
