In an interview on GameSetWatch, Suda51 was asked about his long-time desire to build a true [...]

We’re fairly certain that we all now know the many weaknesses of vampires: stakes, crosses, garlic, and obsessive, lonely teenage girls. However, we’re just now starting to figure out the secret to slaying vampire-centric game-to-movie adaptations (namely, Paul W.S.
