Topic: Lords of Shadow Sequel Ideas (spoilers...a lot of them)

[Dremn]

My only hope is that we're still playing as a Belmont/someone similar to Gabriel since hopefully, he will become the tragic hero/antagonist of the series.

We need new sub weapons too, I was greatly disappointed we didn't see the axe, cross, or stopwatch make appearances. Also pot roast/food hidden in the walls/scenery for health. The health fonts were copy pasted from God of War, I hope I don't see them again.

Last thing I can think of right now is a proper score/soundtrack that fits Castlevania.

I'm just hoping for a lot more fan service than what we got in Lords of Shadow.

Maybe the stopwatch wasn't used due to the fact that the mechanical clock had yet to be invented. but they couldv'e used a sun dial instead. It's essentially the same as a watch. it would use magic to freeze enemies or slow them down a notch. But there was absolutely no excuse not to have the boomerang or axe in the game.

I too would love to see more sub weapons especially the axe. But if they were to do the something like the stop watch that isn't the stop watch itself, I would suggests an hour glass instead of a sundial

*bump*

Now that the game has been out for a while, any new ideas on what the sequel should be like??

I will deserve my judgment until resurrection

I will deserve my judgment until resurrection

Me too.  I won't really have any ideas until I've seen the entire first game (DLC included).  I'm still wondering about that Slogra corpse in the ending cut scene (or at least it seems to be a corpse, could be a statue though).

I think it was really cool that LOS ended up being a Dracula origin story, but I agree that they should find a way to keep it as Belmont vs. Dracula. The thing that frightens me about the epilogue is that it makes it feel like the next games will be you playing as Dracula against Satan and his minions. I'm all for change, as I loved Lords of Shadow, but not that. Not that at all. Would it be cool as a spinoff? Maybe, but it would feel closer to the Legacy of Kain titles, and having you as Dracula fighting Satan (again) wouldn't feel like CV at all.

For me, while LOS was a departure from the series, it still gave me a Belmont character in a fantastically realized gothic land fighting creatures of the night and that's about all I really ask from the series. LOS has the general foundation of Castlevania, just presented differently. However if this new reboot series becomes Dracula vs. Satan, well I can't imagine that it would be a good thing.

Im sure there will be a third party between the Dracula vs Satan dual. I mean in the epilouge it looked like Dracula has been quite active during his time as Dracula and he looks like he's been in quite alot of battles. So maybe a new family of hunters have taken up arms to defeat him.

Besides, you can't live for a thousand years without gaining a few new enemies.

Great truth, this is.

Maybe Dracula's new enemies will be the Cronquist family.  It would be kind of funny.  With LoI, we have someone from the Cronquist family becoming Dracula and the Belmont family eventually hunting him.  Now with LoS, we have a "Belmont" becoming Dracula.  It might be entertaining if it turns out that the hunters end up being from the Cronquist family.  That my just be me though.

I do agree that we probably won't be playing as Dracula.  It's probably going to be a three sided battle (Hunters vs. Dracula and Zobek vs. Satan).

Wall shimmying sucks, and so do QTEs. I'm almost 100 percent certain that since these are, for whatever reason, essentials in any new action game, I'm not counting on them being cut out, much as I hate their guts. At the very least, I'd like the sequel to have more gothic horror settings (the castle, scarecrow village part) and less high fantasy settings (Agharta, and I mean come on, much of the necromancer's realm was just flipping Mordor). It'd be cool if it went more (way waaaaay more) towards the horror spectrum than the fantasy spectrum (which is already way too plentiful in games already).

Maybe it will be kinda like Russia missions from Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Jill and Chris (ie: the good guys) fighting aganist the obvious but not the worst threat , and Wesker (ie: the bad guy) fighting the real threat

You mean, in 1999, Julius Cronqvist?

Something like that.
