Topic: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate 3DS (Discussion Thread)

Okay, Simon looks awesome. Those screens of Trevor don't really show too much, other than it at least looks like Castlevania to me. Well, here's me hoping that this will be as promising as it looks. LoS was such a let down for me, but this new stuff looks promising. I was trying to be cautious about getting too excited because I don't want to be disappointed like I was with LoS, but I can't help it. I'm starting to get excited.

I like the green coat Trevor has on.

I have always envionsed trevor with a "green" themed outfit before even though that did not happen with his later incarnation in the form of his COD look.

Just wish that we could actually get to see his FACE!

the only screens we have of him is his back and his side from far away.

[Chernabogue]

This is promising.

Simon looks good, it seems they were influenced by his different designs from other games.

We can't say much thing about Trevor, the screenshots aren't showing much. The coat reminds me of Richter.

Screens look like CV. I hope its 2D and that the camera is only moving for some actions or situations.

Promising.

screens

...Game looks more 3D than 2D/2.5D IMHO. Maybe it's just those particular screenshots. (More so the first one.)

Waiting to see if mine will come in the mail today. I adore that cover with Simon and considering it IS a cover story, I figured they'd have more than two screenshots of the game. Nintendo Power usually does...

I'd need to see the Trevor art to see how cool he looks, but I'm digging Simon's look. I'm actually interested in this game!! Yay!!!!

Also, the bit about LoS being a sub-series, did Konami REALLY confirm that, or is NP just their opinion to distance it from the classic series? It's worded like the classic CV series is still on Konami's priority list, but I can't imagine HOW considering LoS's goal was to replace it as the "new series". Unless they are holding IGA(or someone else) in their darkest dungeon, whiping him with his own whip and saying, "Dammit, work faster. Make a GOOD game!!!!" LOL. J/K. If that was the case, it would REALLY parallel the comment Cox made regarding the Ultimate series of Marvel. I mean, Ultimate Marvel is probably the most popular "alternate canon" Marvel has made, but the classic canon STILL exists(and is considered the definitive canon). Though, I can't say I'm a fan of calling it the "Lords of Shadow" sub-series. Cox should've called the sub-series something different. "Castlevania D"(for Dragon/Dracul) would be my pick(maybe make the "D" as a blood splatter logo behind the "Castlevania" title). Establish it as it's own thing. "Lords of Shadow" subtitle was great for the first one, but why drag it out for additional installments? I mean, it wasn't like Harmony of Dissonance was called "Symphony of the Night 2". That would've been, frankly IMO, stupid(not just because it's a stupid idea, but because it SOUNDS stupid). Castlevania D: Mirror of Fate. Castlevania D: "Enter key plot references to LoS's sequel". Much better! LOL, also, Castlevania D sounds like a slight nod to us!!!!

I wonder if that Simon art is even related to the LoSverse at all.

What are you guyes talking about?

[Dremn]

Nevermind, dude was a troll.

Can't believe I fell for it.

[Kaori]

So, then that whole thing was false? Thank the heavens.

[Kingshango]

Good, that sounded horrible.

Plus it wouldn't make any sense considering what's on the teaser site.

[Ahasverus]

Proof, please!

Seeing how they are taking the combat mechanics from LoS, hopefully it's been more improved and the frame is more stable. I'm also somewhat curious on how Trevor has his own version of the Combat Cross.

[Maedhros]

It was posted on 4chan. Great chance of being a troll.

Nagumo, the list with Castlevania: Complete Chronicles was debunked. Many of the games on it were already knew, the rest is just PURE SPECULATION.

[Dremn]

Proof, please! 

He outright said he was bullshitting.
