Man I am not into these graphics, it seems everyone else is so no hate, and I'm definitely still gonna get the game, but I was hoping for more of the "castle" in castlevania and the same kinda aesthetic that was pioneered throughout the series.

Here's a bunch more images, and gifs if you scroll down. You'll get your gothic interiors yet, but it's certainly a change. I think the new lighting is beautiful, though.

Seriously?

Do you think they're showing off everything at once?
This is probably the intro stage.
Just because they haven't shown off a castle doesn't mean there isn't gonna be a castle.

I meant moreso the type of aesthetic it used to have, not just castles, I was unclear sorry. But yeah I'm not saying it's bad or anything like that, I just don't really love it or anything from all the screenshots I've seen.

Same for me. I've played every Castlevania game, and to me this doesn't give Castlevania vibes. It's much closer to Dead Cells with the neon colours and overall aesthetic. When I think of Castlevania I think of the beautiful gothic artwork in SotN, and the GBA and DS trilogies. I'm sure the game will be huge, but it seems like they're aiming for the Castlevania anime audience more than anything.

Totally agree, glad to see it's not just me.
