You got that right MaG!

Nonetheless, you have to admit there are distinct differences in these games. Collaboration doesn't equate to similar experiences in all of them. We'll see how closely 4 follows 3.

Gil.

I'm pretty much in agreement with traveler on this. Loved Resurrection and Last Sanctuary; didn't care much at all for Path of the Dragon.

Origin was okay, not all that though. If this new one is available on a disc I will buy it but it doesn't look that good to me so far.

Edited to add a missed word.

Thanks everyone for their input. I want to start with the first game whether its a series or not.....

Well, as always, a matter of personal preference enters into it

I really liked No.1 Resurrection and No.2 Last Sanctuary AND No.3 Path of the Dragon - and I certainly considered them to be a series

And I did also play Origin - but it wasn't as much to my taste and I didn't enjoy it as much.

And that's how it goes !!

Hi traveler, I understand your feeling on Dracula 3 - it certainly doesn't have the same atmosphere as the 1st two games but there has been a long time gap between them & Dracula 3 & in the meantime 'graphics' have advanced which I think is a big contributor to the different feel. I would have preferred a 3rd game that more closely continued that but still consider the 3 games a series & am very much looking forward to the 4th!

I enjoyed Dracula Origin & thought it was a very good game but much preferred Path of the Dragon!

I liked Dracula Resurrection. I didn't care for Last Sanctuary so much because I thought the game areas were less interesting. Also Last Sanctuary had all those timed sequences (I got tired of drowning in sewage because I couldn't tell which way was up with that game interface).

I also liked Dracula Resurrection better than Dracula 3: Path of the Dragon. Path of the Dragon almost seems like a different series because of the difference in Dracula. Also, the environments in the first two games may not have been exactly cheery, but the 3rd one was downright oppressive, with a sense of impending doom that never let up.

I liked Dracula Origin a lot more than I expected to. It's sort of "apples and oranges" to compare it with the other 3 Dracula games. Dracula Origin was 3rd person, had a lot more puzzles and Dracula is handsome instead of monstrous in appearance. It's sequel, the casual game Love Kills, was a humorous game that was almost a complete opposite of "Path of the Dragon." If I were to replay any of them, I'd probably choose Dracula Origin.

The new Dracula 4 looks to me like it will have more in common with Dracula 3 than with any of the other games. But the story may be more interesting, so we'll see.

I quite enjoyed "Love Kills" - although, for me, it was totally non scary !!

I doubt it was intended to be scary. Not with lines like Igor had.

I only just discovered that there is to be a Dracula 4, and have been going in circles trying to find out how to order it. No luck on Amazon; I found one website that allows you to preorder it for Mac, but no luck for PC. I hope that there will be a retail version in the US, but since the release date is mere days away, I would have expected online retailers to have a preorder page up and running.

I'm with many of the others here; I enjoyed Dracula: Origin (I haven't played the sequel, as I loathe hidden object games) and thought Dracula 3 was okay (the graphics and ambiance of rural Romania was good, the gameplay / plot, not so much). Ellen from Dracula 4 reminds me of Victoria McPherson from Still Life; the gameplay looked like Dracula: Origin.

All in all, I can't wait to get my hands on Dracula 4 this week!

Since the release date is a few days off I did a little checking to see where I could buy it and the only place I've found so far that has it listed for purchase on 19 June is Zodiac.

Adventure Shop has it for download.
Richard

Thanks Richard.
It's preorder for release on 6-18.

On my preorder from Adventure shop it says 6/19 12:01 AM British Time MaG.
Richard

Ah. I looked at the game page at Adventure Shop only. I didn't preorder. Must be time differences for the order locations-IP.

Is Dracula Origin part of the "Dracula" Series that includes Resurrection, Last Sanctuary and Path of the Dragon?

Thanks,

gameho

There's a discussion of that here, gameho.

Gil.

Just started to download Dracula 4 now from Adventure Shop.
