New Valis Games or Remakes?

Just curious as to which one you'd rather see:

- New Valis Games w/ All-New Characters

- New Valis Games w/ Returning Characters

- Remakes of Existing Valis Games

I, personally, would rather see remakes of the existing Valis games with enhancements. I just think that the games could be so much better with some minor changes. For instance, I'd love to be able to retrieve my previous weapon power-up as you're able to do in Dracula X: Rondo of Blood, rather than be stuck with something that I picked up by accident.

Obviously, there are plenty of other things that I'd like to see in Valis games, but that's one main thing that's always bothered me. Hell, that's why I have trouble playing older Castlevania games.

Nice topic!

In this one... I'm for a new game with the appearence of the old characters...
It'll much better to see the characters we know in a new situation...

maybe they could add the old Valis games with enhacements as a bonus in the new game...
like when they created SNES "Mario all Stars"...

I agree!

It's difficult to make a choice

I would love to see any new game (except hentai ), whether it's a remake or totally a new game

if I have to make a choice, I would choose a game with mixture of new characters and old characters, but since this option is not available, I will go with new characters

I wanted to say remake and i do since i can't chose both I would rather see a remake done on a PSP.Now! for the New Valis game if they make it for the PS2,Xbox360,or the PS3 <----AS IF! Other games like the one kevinski posted and me mortal combat and soul calibur III in youtube with Valis chars however thas as close as we are going to get with it.

You posted it twice....

I was about to erase one... but when I read it... it's just so funny...
because it starts with the same sentence...

maybe you can edit one, so you can choose both options...

Unfortunatly i can't edit my message on youtube.

Well if I had my way about it (And I usualy don't given the circumstances) I'd go for New Games with a bit of half and half, new characters but appearances from the original cast and such.

Also if I'm alowed to say it I'd also prefer a remake of the Original Games, Hentai Free and with as much detail to each individual story as possible.

well i do have to say the remake of the original did ok (valis pc) however, if your thinking of a 2d remake or a 3d remake is fine by me. I would not bank on a 3d remake just yet.

You know, come to think of it, I think that I'd rather see the first three Valis games redone in the same style as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. While a lot of people may feel as though the Metroid-vania style of games is getting to be a bit stale, I honestly feel as though it could flesh out the Valis world more effectively.

I mean, I'm kinda curious as to how the areas are laid out. As is, it just feels as though the developers added the stereotypical fire/forest/ice levels with no thought as to how they may be connected.

the game has been design in a way that is somehow similar to Megaman (if you can notice, it's the same idea, the boss that you defeat, you get his speciality).

but you are right. If there was some kind of connection between these different stages, Valis would be really so much better.

I definitely noticed the Mega Man influence in the first game. The only problem with the series is that it was never really its own style of game. It changed drastically in terms of combat system with every new release from what I can tell.

Valis - Much like the Mega Man series, although you can't choose the order in which you fight the bosses. Also had some Castlevania influence, although for your primary weapon, as opposed to your secondary.

Valis II - Similar combat system, but abilities aren't as closely associated with actual boss characters that they're acquired from, making the overall effect feel a bit more uninspired and less thought-out.

Valis III - Kinda like the Castlevania series.

Valis IV - I've never played the PC Engine version, but I actually kinda liked the combat system in the SNES version. It lets you stock several different abilities, but you have to activate each one as you want to use it. It's nice, because it forces you to use them intelligently, since switching to another will eliminate the remaining stock on the one that you're currently using.

Still, I kinda wish that the developers of the Valis games had done like other developers who took the initiative to package world maps with their games. I always found this to be a bit pointless, especially with games that didn't feature an overworld. Still, it would've been nice to see where everything was in relation to other areas. I suppose that the Valis series is so ridiculously inconsistent that it wouldn't matter if fans simply created their own overworth of the various areas in order to tie them together.

Wait! Valis came out before megaman. Castlevania well i don't know when it was release. It was in 1986. It's the month that gets to me.

Hmm...you know, I never really thought of that possibility. I've never played the MSX version of it, but it was definitely released before the original Mega Man. Did the MSX version feature the same type of combat system as the Genesis version?

The NES version still predates Mega Man, but God...that game was horrible...

yeah really! i mean Mazes?

I'd like to see a castle....metro.....whatever-style Valis myself. Valis is a good candidate for a style of game like that.

and what do you think... an RPG like Chrono Trigger ?
with animation videos...

I mean, there won't be battles by ourselvesl... but with command lines...

i can imagine it online gaming style rpg.

Nice topic!
I would like to see remakes from the classic games!!!
Then later new ones..... with the same characters and new ones....

Great! i forgot which one i voted for. WOW! that was a mind eraser.

I like Chrono Trigger a lot...
but I think the command battle system is not suitable for Valis...

I think the battle scroll system is much better... like in Zelda's games...

Which one the wind wakers one? or, the twilite princess one?

More like in Ocarina of Time....

I haven't played the new one... the one for Wii...
But it looks great!, and using the "nunchuk" control as sword...

it will be .... really something...

play the gamecube one it's the same kind of.

well.... I always thought it won't have any sens to play it for game cube...
I mean, the Wii is the new Nintendo system...
and it's only nice game is this one, about Zelda....

so... I think it'll be a waste playing it in Cube...

maybe producers are waiting for christmas season to release a lot of new games...

Good point For that great nes Wii experience, you might need that system for those great games.

Either one works for me.

Dood, I totally fracking agree wholeheartedly. Otaku these days (such as myself) would eat that stuff up like... yeah. Valis has always been a series with a lot of untapped potential to me, and if only game developers would realize that. But it's not just Valis, though. I bet there are other franchises that just beg for a modern revival. Woe is the world of underrated gems...

You're right ZeLoZ....
Lot of nice games have been buried.. and have lot of fans everywhere...
Possibly, the big problem is companies are always arguing about money...
if they create a new game, with old chars, some want all the money because they created the game.. and the others want all the money because they own the system...
and we're not yet talking about exclusivities...
