Is it confirmed that we'll be seeing gameplay on Tuesday?

We're getting the actual trailer Tuesday, and I assume either that same day or the day after footage of the show floor demo.

Can't wait to see the gameplay footage, this weekend was already off to a rockin start and next week may end up being better.

hope we find out who the other two playable characters are at E3.  there's still a chance the other two could be Christopher and Richter to round out the Classicvania club like I was thinking (how would their play style be different?).  but after seeing the LoS2 trailer, and knowing that MoS leads up to LoS2, I guess chances are indeed high Alucard will be one of them.  so many characters to choose from...

maybe if another one is indeed a Belmont, he could fight without needing to use combos?  maybe feel a lot more like an older title?

Cheers to a bright future for castlevania 

Also for those who do not know the schedule for nintendo's e3 it's going to be on tuesday the 5th at 9:00am and the software showcase will be the following day at 6:00 PM.

I just got that much more excited. I'm getting that butterfly thing.

Would be great if when the final character in MoF fights drac, he/she uses the LoS universe of the 'Greatest Five' move from PoR (could be 5 if the 3 previous characters were used, plus the current playable character and pre-drac Gabe)

Unless, of course, we've already seen Alucard...in the form of Trevor!

yeah, that's the thing.  if Trevor = Alucard is true, and Alucard does make an appearance as a playable character in LoS, i don't know if that would count as one or two playable characters.  if they hid the fact they were the same, especially if the game style was completely different (sword instead of whip), it could count as two.  or they could just have Trevor turn into Alucard at the end of the game and leave the actual "play as Alucard with a sword" thing to Lords of Shadow 2.

I think that's going to be the crux of the big twist that makes Simon so angry (Trevor turning into Alucard at the end of MoF), but I guess we'll see tuesday.

I always forget about Bloodlines, because it's so meh. It wasn't fully functional either.

It was, it just worked differently. You couldnt hang there indefinitely, but you could swing from any flat ceiling, and I think you could keep swinging along it couldnt you?

[uzo]

You couldnt hang there indefinitely

That's what I mean by not fully functional. You couldn't hang and swing back and forth with your own control like SCVIV did before it.

[Maedhros]

It's still there though.

Also, we don't know if LoS:MoF one will be like SCIV or Bloodlines.

[Vampire Killer]

Hey, considering that in MoF you play during progressive centuries, perhaps one of the remaining two playable characters is in fact Alucard. This would still allow for Trevor to be Alucard.

[Reinhart77]

if Richter makes it in, but Christopher doesn't, we'll get to add one more point to the "Christopher is always neglected" score.  Him and Grant should get together sometimes.  But poor Grant hasn't even had his own game or comic series.  It'd be funny if Grant ended up being one of the playables in this game though.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Hey, Chris got his own ReBirth title.  That's something, no?
