According to Japanese website ITmedia (translation here), at TGS Konami is showing off a 10 second trailer for a brand new Castlevania title slated to hit current gen consoles (namely Xbox 360 and PS3). Gleaning what we can from the translation, the game deals with a betrayed family, a father, and a curse. Oh, and it apparently stars an effeminate man with a big, burning red sword. That, and he looks an awful lot like Alucard, Dracula's son and a recurring character in the series. Sounds like a cursed family to us.
And that's all we know. No gameplay details, no release date. Let's just hope it's good ... or evil, as the case may be.

Oh, god. I hope it's a 2D high resolution XBLA title. The 3D game I bought on PS2 was horrible. I doubt it will be an XBLA title, Konami has been making some pretty crappy decisions with regards to the Castlevania franchise. Have you seen the 3D fighter for Wii. If they were smart this will be a beautiful 2D downloadable game.

Give the franchise to Capcom and model it off the Devil May Cry series (or rather DMC4).
that would rock my socks off!

Assuming the one screen is representative of the game, that seems to imply it's 3D... but who knows. I'd be fine with it if they could manage to do it well. Sure, the 3D ones have all sucked, but I don't believe it's impossible.

I'd love a Highres 2D game... but I doubt it... heck I'd even settle for a 2D Castlevania using 3D Models ala Dracula X Chronicles for PSP...

I'd rather have a remake of Castlevania III with 3d graphics. That would kick ass

Thanks to a full-time job I overlooked this post until tonight. Holy balls, is THIS great and overdue news!
I want a 2-D scrolling 3-D Castlevania game..like Bionic Commando Rearmed.
Will this be the story of 1999 where Dracula is permanently banished? I know Alucard plays a role in that..
I'll just get busy now holding my breath until the game ships...

Well Hellsing was bangin and Alucard was badass. This sounds somewhat interesting, but I would still rather see some new HellSing movies.
