I have had my fair share of complaints about the LOS series, but I have to say I'm relieved that MS did not make Alucard to much of a departure from the original series personality and appearance wise.
Although his origin is clearly a lot of different.
So far I like this new Alucard, even though I was not onboard with Trevor becoming him, so It would be a letdown not to get to play as him for me.
Not to mention MS would really be missing out on including a fan favorite as a playable character.
I remember them saying something along the lines that he will not be playable or unlockable in the initial game, but that does not rule out of possible DLC mode for him in the future.
Its just that this latest "Dark Dracula" preorder has me worried that they may have decided to take the cheap route and not include Alucard and just give as a Gabriel who kinda resembles him.
