Since MoF is an interquel, I guess that means that it'll be the spiritual retelling of CV3 with Trevor and Al. So I imagine Sypha and Grant will be there too, which will explain the co-op. And then we'll have Lords 2, which will be Simon hunting down Gabriel. So, we'll have our retelling of CV1/SCIV/Chronicles/Haunted Castle/Captain N.

I wonder if they'll cover any of the games past that. A MercurySteam Juste Belmont would certainly be something.

Why would you put a game with canon characters in the hands of a guy whose entire thing is my games take place in a completely separate universe?

This is like that thing they're trying to do with Star Trek.

If they have Grant and Sypha I hope they go for more original designs and not make them turnout like the Judgment ones(mostly Grants, I didn't mind Sypha's).

Eh, I think this game is a spirtual Castlevania 3 but if the rumors are true that both Simon and Trevor are being used wouldn't it make sense that the next game would be alucard staring?

Symphony of the night was one of the biggest entries,there take on it would bring huge hype. Especially since rumors have said the locations in that game are non-linear like arkam city..

I disagree wholeheartedly. There were plenty of tracks she did that had a lot of Castlevania feel to them. She just counterbalanced them with some other stuff that was jazzy and upbeat. And, she only did a majority of the work on the soundtrack. Vincent Diamante did parts too, and his were jazz-based as well.

I did a review of the soundtrack, actually. Check it out and see what I mean. Yamane has a distinct style of music that you can still hear even in non-Castlevania games.

Honestly, Cox and Arajou need to look at what Yamane did with Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness, to get a good feel of how moody, ambient Castlevania music can be used effectively to be both background noise AND memorable at the same time, and how to apply that to their games for the future. (including LoS2 and Mirror)

I agree here. Anti-Skullgirl Lab 8 Stage, Grand Cathedral Stage, Streets of New Meridian Stage, and Class Notes are probably my favorite of the OST. Great stuff, and I love how Yamane tackles the jazz components of the OST. I have a soft spot for Jazz as is.

You have to wonder if Obata was doing his damnedest to come up with the worst designs possible. I wonder if that game would have fared better if they used the original designs of each character.

Can we start having all these rumors and links compiled on the first post, please? I think it'll keep the questions and requests of "Can you post that rumor again?!' or "Links please!!" to a minimum, and prevent the rest of us digging through what has, in a very short time, become a massive thread.

Either CastleDan or a mod could do it.

Thanks.

I'd love to do it but even I'm having a hard time compiling all the info because so many things are contradicting other info..etc..etc...

If rumors are correct though friday we will start seeing some screens...so that will help clear things up for sure.

I missed where it was said there were going to be screenshots. Where'd that info come from?

The same place where all this crazy info has been coming from..4chan which is not always a reliable source to begin with.
It's hard to peg what is true and what isn't. I want to believe that Paul network site because they were pretty in-depth and he was right about the Playstation Brawl game. Who knows though...who knows..

Someone on /v/ or /vg/. Supposedly, Eurogamer is supposed to be the site that has the images for Friday, and that's where the artwork claims came from, too.
