Castlevania Save File Bug

A case of Castlevania Chinese Whispers:  “Castlevania bug causing PS3 chaos” screams one headline but if we backtrack through about five different publications to the original source of this “chaos” we find that the bug has hit a total of three PS3 gamers.

Nevertheless your Castlevania gaming may be in danger so here is a warning: Make a back up of your save file.  In a couple of cases the PS3 version of Castlevania has declared the save file corrupt and then deletes your hard work and creates a brand new save file. Konami have yet to comment on the problem.

For those of you unsure how much ‘chaos’ this bug is causing, I have created a simple graph, I hope you find it useful.

  1. lol, you watch x factor!

  2. ahahah, chaos!

    btw, anyone had any problems with the Castlevania demo? I can’t even play it :/

  3. That graph is win

  4. Its a terrible game anyway

    • its not that bad. the story and voice work is really bad though, i mean i laugh and cringe at the same time

  5. Quality Graph.

    As for the save file, seems that it’s the PS3 version that’s screwey. From what I’ve read the Xbox version fixes the save and the PS3 tries to but fails and overwrites it.

  6. Dracula probably want’s revenge…

  7. Touch wood mine has been ok, only 3 chapters in after 8 hours of gameplay so not a lot to lose if it did go ‘pete tong’ and i can honestly say i’m glad i got rid of GoW3 for this lol

  8. @F022Y – 8 hours of gameplay is “not a lot to lose” for you?!? I’ve had girlfriends for less than 8 hours!

    • I can’t help but find EVERYTHING before moving onto the next level, also helps that her indoors prefers to watch an hour of castlevania than fifa 11 lol

  9. I’m surprised anyone has got past all the cut-scenes to notice a save game bug yet, it only came out on Friday, aren’t people still watching all the Kojima-ness still?

    • Dunno, never got past 2 minutes in the demo..

      *load up*
      *Skip cut scene*
      Oh.. its God Of War. Again. Yawn.
      *delete*

      • i feel that about so many games this gen! gaming seems to be going a little still

    • It’s not that cutscene heavy as far as I can tell, but seriously, I’d take a Kojima produced cutscene over some of the mind numbing combat in this game any day.

  10. WHAT?!?!?
    I’m on Chapter 6 and worked really hard on finding scrolls and gems. I gotta make a backup ASAP after work today. Please let it be safe. Dammit Konami
