Absolutely stunning. Being 48yo, this is an amazing experience just to watch. Being a heavy fan of Castlevania, this rendition of SotN to play is added to my bucket list.
Holy crap, Dracula´s new attacks and animations are so fluid, someone watching this for the first time wouldn´t be able to tell they weren´t there in the original game. I tip my hat for the creator/s, it looks and feels incredible!
@Oren Black There's nothing illegal, it's a patreon reward you don't directly buy it, and it's just a demo the mod will be available for free, and beside the guy behind this have been working on this for years and alone, he more than deserve some compensation, for basically giving more respect to this game and it's fans than Konami ever did.
@Oren Black Honnestly I have no trust about you being employed by Konami, trolls that pretend to work for a big compagny on Internet are legion and unless solid proof are given there is no reasons to trust such a claim. Secondly people don't pay the guy for the demo, he give an early access as a reward to people that supported him on patreon, the demo will be public and free eventually as will be the mod when it eventually release.
@Oren Black I have nothing to worry about, if you were truly an employee of Konami, I believe you would have better things to do than discussing in comment section of a demo video, like go investigating the mod creator instead, also a professionnal of any compagny would stay professionnal and wouldn't put smileys in their message like that.
0:11 Trivia: The map that appears in the intro is the ca.1500 Map of Juan de la Cosa, a Spanish navigator and cartographer. In SOTN you can see it inverted horizontally, and the camera moves to where the United States are located (not towards Wallachia). This is the map: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_of_Juan_de_la_Cosa
so in 12 years the demo is a slightly improved version of the prologue which is exactly what the demo was 12 years ago... I seriously hope none of you are falling for this.
Is there any chance a SOTN remaster like this would be created, imagine all the enemies with new plus moves and Attacks, new weapons for Richter and Alucard, and new difficulty, my Big problem with lovely SOTN is that in certain moment of the game you practically became invincible
Truly outstanding work here. I'm not real big on a lot of the second dub, but one thing I appreciate here is Dracula's death yell. I find the original to be perfect, and the way the second dub's sounded as it were...was pretty bad. The audio edits for it here are very welcome and well done!
You changed the best thing in this game, the dialog between Rochter and Dracula. I won't be playing this, mankind I'll needs a butcher such as this. But enough talk, fuck this!
Wow, the voice acting is amazing. And the translation is much better. I mean, I miss the original's ham and cheese nature, but this is definitely higher quality and absolutely fascinating.
This is what a true remake looks like, keeping the overall look of the original but elevating the mechanics through subtle quality of life changes. Godspeed to Esco, he's a true castlevania master!
SOTN is over a quarter of a century old and yet there isn't a single hack that is a complete game. Super Metroid has hundreds of hacks I'd pay money for (they're free because people would be sued). I would definitely pay for a hack of this game, $30 seems like a good price. But of course Konami is pretty much done with Castlevania.
I didnt know this guy wanted you to PAY for this konami ip game (konami game) if i see this guy in court in the near future paying back everything it will not be a surprise and also he doesnt even have robert belgrade doing alucard... this game is a failure from the start.. no matter how much i like it i and thousands of others will not like the voice... its our opinion just as much as it is his to choose this nobody from psp voice actor.. what a fail! belgrade even sounds like belmont how can you skip him?????
I gotchu bro! Be sure to check out my other video where I defeated Dracula without taking damage and without using subweapons! The video link is also in my description!
Finally a version of Ricter that is between the Emotionless version and the one that overflows with Emotions, perfectly balanced as all things should be 👌
Honestly, I absolutely adore all the work he's put into it, but absolutely am soul crushed by how he changed it from being a Metroidvania to levels / stages.
I don't know if it's too late but could you hide the UI during the dialogue so it's not clashing with the text box? I liked the new portraits a lot, you got Richter's Hair right which sounds minor but it's kind of important to contrast him before and after shaft's influence turns him from a straight laced, clean cut, vampire killer into a long haired, decadent, vampire thrall.
Just an input, I don't think you need to show the "stage clear" screen after defeating Dracula. Since the beginning part was meant to be a prologue, it would feel nicer to transition immediately to the text scrolling/voice over part. It just feels so unnatural. So in the essence of it being a prologue, it's just better from the the story perspective to have a smooth transition 'til Alucard comes in.
this is not the dev doe, he just shares what esco has currentlly develop plus he only listen to community request when you're paying his patreon subscription
Amazing! The new animations are stunning! Can't say I am much fond of the new dialogues, or the voice over narration after the battle, but otherwise this is INCREDIBLE!
I wonder if this will at least add the Saturn extras in. I'd deal with the PSP dialog if it at least had something that I couldn't get out of the original PSX version.
It sounds like a rather difficult project to carry out, but it would really be incredible if there was a final version in which all the enemies and bosses of the castle have their revision. And both Alucard and Maria have improved attacks and animations just like Richter
Yep! Item crashes are on the left, subweapons are on the right. You can have a mix of any item crash and sub weapon which opens up different opportunities!
Somebody PATCH HIS WORK!!! When he releases it.. .ill even study to do it myself if i have to.. ill put "Robert Belgrade" only HE IS ALUCARD and none else...
looks good! and i'm an OLD castlevania fan, with my interest started in the series way back with super Castevania IV, and then cemented with the original PS1 release. god, i wish i still had that.. mine was pre "greatest hits" re-release.. i prized that game... 😿😿
God, I've been waiting for this project for so very long and I've been following you for a long time. I absolutely cannot wait until this is finished! It looks so beautiful 😭🙏🎮🕹️💜💯
yes,it's still in progress from time to time the author posts a new video showing the progress or new ideas,first he posts it on patreon and some things just stay there,but it's in progress
Not a fan of Dracula's voice in the rerelease, it just doesn't fit what his character looks like, this is just my opinion his voice should sound older and sinister and annoyed by Ritcher like original dub, Ritcher voice isn't too bad actually. Some people may disagree with this but Dracula's death scream in the original was more terrifying and epic than this one, it set the tone for the rest of the game.
Absolutely stunning. Being 48yo, this is an amazing experience just to watch. Being a heavy fan of Castlevania, this rendition of SotN to play is added to my bucket list.
Agreed this looks awesome
Random thought
I hope Castlevania Nocturne is awesome and has Symphony of Night callbacks
@positiveapproachcounseling1388 I'm sorry Nocturne is crap worse than castlevania netflix series it's more of a cash grab by idk house ny Netflix
Holy crap, Dracula´s new attacks and animations are so fluid, someone watching this for the first time wouldn´t be able to tell they weren´t there in the original game.

- What happened to the lines?!
- They were just a miserable little pile of secrets...
it follows the psp/ps4 scripts
Better translation.
Been following the project for like 10 years now. Happy to see this❤️
Ikr! It's been a dream come true 😁
No classic dialogue, mid
@@ryozaki96 the old dialogue is shit anyway. The PSP version did it so much better
10 YEARS?!
@setsers1 he’s literally a 1-man team, but he definitely has to put it out soon or else it’ll become a 20 year project
I absolutely love how they remade the whole fight mechanics I think that was really well done
Right, it’s just so epic

Hey, you're right!
Omg, I can't believe we finally have a demo!
This game belongs in this world!
It does!
@@TriForceChris until Konami step in and took all of Esco's work because Fuck Konami
and it will be called here by humans who wish to give it tribute.
Bro this looks so incredible, Symphony is one of my favorite games of all time!! I hope the full game looks amazing
This is mind-blowing!! What the heck! I wonder if Esco is gonna finish remaking SotN sometime soon, probably not but I'll wait.
Never heard of this project before today. I got CHILLS watching this. Amazing.
so in 12 years the demo is a slightly improved version of the prologue which is exactly what the demo was 12 years ago... I seriously hope none of you are falling for this.

This is... wow, the remake that always everybody was expecting
Incredible...! It looks so beautiful!
I hope there's a setting to get the PSX dialogue, because that opening was iconic
There will be no PSX dialogue
@@TriForceChris I'm sure modders will do it for you.
@@asra-5180 I am extremely saddened to see no classic PSX dialogue. It's one of the things that made this game so great.
AGREED. Fix that and it would be perfect
You classic dialogue fans are delusional with your nostalgia.
I really hope this is available to the public when it's finished, this looks amazing.
Holy shit, this looks awesome!
Looking forward for more updates!
Stay tuned! I’ll be posting them day 1 when they’re available

Wow, the voice acting is amazing. And the translation is much better. I mean, I miss the original's ham and cheese nature, but this is definitely higher quality and absolutely fascinating.
Would love to see how the rest of this game plays. If Richter's stage is this good, Alucard's is going to be awesome
yes,Alucard can now do combos,and has other skills,the creator posted a video showing and explaining everything
pov:your playing sotn for the first time in 1995
Holy shit.....Vlad's final form is fucking imposing.....the noticable damage is a awesome
Dude took a already epic battle and made it legendary!
Cool bro, excelent characters skin!!!!
This is what a true remake looks like, keeping the overall look of the original but elevating the mechanics through subtle quality of life changes. Godspeed to Esco, he's a true castlevania master!
I have a lot of faith in him, this remake is definitely gonna be great
it's still pixelated like hell. how about some HD sprites
@@CoolGobyFish Pixel art is still art, if you don't appreciate it, go back to playing your photorealistic shit
@@ruffus_da_foxoi agree on the photorealistic being shit, but he asked for higher quality sprites, not for a 3d version

Can Playstation games be hacked? That would seem very hard to do
@@maxinekanner5434 there's hacks of DS games so I'm sure someone has the ability to. It would be nice though.
@tonywong8134 I always wondered if it was possible I'm guessing PS games are much harder and would take a lot more time
Holy shit it's finally got an alpha after 10+ years
What a stunning work. Thank you so much for this.
Haven't seen this project before. Looks like a very well done hack until I noticed the new mechanics. This is good. Can't wait to see more.
If I play SOTN again, this will be it. Awesome.
Heck yeah! Download the demo and give it a try!

Looks cool for a hack that will always be just a demo.
This looks great! I want to see the rest of the story now.
this was incredible beyond comprehension.
This was awesome!
THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!
I NEED IT!!😍
Yisus!!! It's so épic! I love it...take all my money
This would be an amazing remaster and being an insane castlevainia fan im all in for it :D
Fuck yeah! Been waiting to see footage of it since Esco last posted.
I gotchu bro! Be sure to check out my other video where I defeated Dracula without taking damage and without using subweapons! The video link is also in my description!

This is awesome!! i can't wait to try this! This is so cool!! i just found this now!
Finally a version of Ricter that is between the Emotionless version and the one that overflows with Emotions, perfectly balanced as all things should be 👌
Without the "Die monster! You don't belong in this world!" It feels incomplete.
OMG if this 1 comes out i need it for sure .... way better then the old version .... keep up the good update
Somebody help find my jaw. I've lost it. This is a dream come true! Been looking at the Patreon, how far along is the project? 😊
Well done!

I agree, don't need the stage clear scene.
dont critique anything about that dev, he's full toxic about his game and if you say something bad about it you get blocked
Wow... that was to epic almost like what an anime translated to a gameplay should be.
Now this is a Remaster I want to play! Fantastic Job!!!
GOD DAMN THIS LOOKS AMAZING
Beyond fantastic!
Amazing! The new animations are stunning!
Can't say I am much fond of the new dialogues, or the voice over narration after the battle, but otherwise this is INCREDIBLE!
My god, looks amazing
Magnificent!!!😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
YOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!! THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED THIS!!!!!!
Damn these graphics are cool
" wow this looks incredible I'm loving every seco...... Is that the PSP dialogue? oh well maybe next time"
I wonder if this will at least add the Saturn extras in. I'd deal with the PSP dialog if it at least had something that I couldn't get out of the original PSX version.
The game is incredible, but it will be better if they left the original PSX dub. Thank you it was nice to see, good job
It sounds like a rather difficult project to carry out, but it would really be incredible if there was a final version in which all the enemies and bosses of the castle have their revision. And both Alucard and Maria have improved attacks and animations just like Richter

that was the most beautiful thing i've ever seen
That was an intense fight. Well done to the developer and the player.
HOLY HELL THE REINTERPRETATION OF THEIR CONVERSATION IS ON POINT!!!
It's from the Dracula X Chronicles version of Symphony of the Night, which is, I believe, a direct translation of the original Japanese script.
Holy shit I forgot this existed. RUclips recommendations saved me
Constructive feedback: this would be watchable (excellent even) if you fix the aspect ratio. Thanks for your hard work and talent.
This looks great, can’t wait to play
That was incredible!!!
This looks amazing.
That's how it's done, Konami!! ⬆️

they should remake this game and put it on nintendo switch it will be great
cause the sprite animation is very perfect

I had shivers as i watched it this is awesome groovy I want CSOTN Remake NOW!!!!!!!!!
i want this version as a physical/digital
