they could be talking about anything, the only mention of MGS4 is Kotaku them selves (that is if i understand the brackets)

A lot of fans have said about a 2d version on console, and that would be cool. However that wouldn't address the problem, that some of Konami's developers seem to have with pushing the Castlevania series into 3d in a good and convincingly fun way.

Two 3d tries on N64 and two on PS2 and there's still problems. There's something strange going on if a polished game like MGS4 can come from the same company, but Castlevania still can't break into that 3rd realm well.

Maybe its Igarashi and his tendency to cling to the Dracula legend, Perhaps it could be Castlevania being so and perhaps too castle based for its own good. With games like God of War, DMC or Bayonetta around, this series is lacking.

I'm sure if Konami just outsourced Castlevania, or rather adjust the series totally with a new name, setting and characters, they might actually make a better action game (perhaps this is the magic bullet needed, because when I mention the Castlevania name, you, the Gamer, already know what its gonna be like, therefore there's little surprise to look forward to, just how many times can well kill Dracula without being bored?). Like Dracula, its very name is the curse that chains it to castle dwelling, which while fun gets stale. I guess that old school japanese design thinking isn't helping either.

Sort it out Konami, though Order of Ecclesia is hitting DS shortly and looks cool, after all these years I find it amazing that you still can't crack a 3d Castlevania. Its certainly your cross to bare, Konami.
