Castlevania games made with SoM would be cool, indeed. Now, I haven't tried my hands on SoM personally, but I would bet you could pretty much make any kind of first person type of game. From KF type of games, to Quake like FPS, or Echo Night and Shadowgate 64 like adventure games. Am I right?
Yeah, backwards compatability was halted a long time ago in all regions. And Sony recently completely stopped making PS2s as well. And yes, you're not the only one who've thought that thought - not only PS2 games on the PSN store, but also the PS2 HD remake games, like Tomb Raider, Splinter Cell, etc. Wouldn't surprise me if that was the case, to be honest. At least partially - I'm sure the costs of having extra hardware or software emulation, and constantly working on getting it to work as it should, weren't minimal.
As for the PS4, I won't buy that until way late. The PS3 is more than enough for me right now. I've got enough games on that, as well as for the PS1 and PS2, that I want to play, and improved graphics doesn't really interest me. Nor does new gimmicks(couldn't give a rats ass about Kinect when that came out, for example), or technology that makes AI much more realistic, etc. I'm into the games, not everything about them. :P
Also, I just watched the first episode of a Let's Play of the first King's Field US release, and I noticed there were actually enemies missing from what I'm used to in the European release. Like, at the start of the game, in the room where you pick up the Iron Mask from a barrel, there's supposed to be a kraken which wasn't there. Same thing with the room next to it, the one with the healing spring. That room contains two krakens in the European versions. That's three enemies missing from the start of the game in the US release - or three additional enemies in the European release, depending on how you look at it. I wonder how it is in the original Japanese release.
