Outside of the portable 2D sidescroller/SOTN style, it seems like they haven't been sure how to go with the titles that the fans will accept and have been testing all sorts of genre types with it to figure out how they want to really bring the franchise back at some point.

That'd be cool. I just started playing Lords of Shadow 2 not long ago and so far it's been pretty solid. I enjoyed the first game a lot and really liked Gabriel's story and his fall into becoming Dracula.

This has nothing to do with the 4" theme of this thread, I was just bringing up how difficult some of these Japanese companies can be to deal with.

Damn that's awesome. I don't get why they would have a problem with that.
