Oh, that's it? I already read that. I thought you had some PORTRAITofRUIN shit going on with an entire boss list, plot details, and area names.

I want to know what Mr. P's Castlevania Realm thinks, because I fight against the trend.

Also, if it's Alucard, I wonder if they'll retain his Symphony look? Vampire Gabriel does somewhat hearken back to SotN's Dracula, albeit more savage.

Don't count on Cox to retain anything that wasn't there before he took over.

Nope, I know just about as much as you guys do now. Why do you think I was speculating for a bit in the last couple pages of the thread? :P

Idk about that Gabriel's design isn't far removed from the designs of the older belmont characters with the original artist.

If Alucard is being used it will be obvious that it's a half-vampire character so there's that and I doubt it will be so vastly different that it will throw people off....

To add to the those rumors regarding the console sequel:

That Castlevania game is rumored to be non linear like Darksiders or Arkahm City.

The new engine will have better framerate, better image quality and bigger enviroments with little to no loading.

The PS3 version is the lead platform and while the 360 version runs fine, it will require disc swapping again to access eariler areas.

Plot, setting and protagonist is still up in the air.

I approve 100% of that rumor. I hope it's true. I need something open ended and interconnected to play with.

I hope it would be more like Dark Souls than those two games.

Damn there goes any chance of a Vita version of the game.

far from it look like if it is true then MS is stepping their game up. This new engine must really be something.

I've thought about it for a while now and I believe since  Lords of Shadow's art direction and character and monster designs were clearly inspired by guillermo del toro, I think Alucard will look like Prince Nuada from Hellboy 2.

Given how Cox-kun's team retained Brauner, Olrox, and Wygol Village, I don't see why they wouldn't nod back to Alucard's Symphony design.

That's a very good theory.

I think Alucard will retain his original look more than any of the characters that find their way into the LoS canon. Next to Simon or Richter, Alucard is the most popular character in the series.

If this rumor is true, awesome! I'm glad I have a 3DS. But I really hope Mercury Steam is working on a PS3/360 sequel.  Also, if it's 3D, they better incorporate the circle pad pro
What a horrible night to have a curse!
