Which was a missed opportunity- Jason Isaacs would have been amazing as Dracula.

I'm pretty sure Robert carlyle will deliver as Dracula. He was fine as Gabriel, but has a lot of potential.

I thought Carlyle was already shaky for Gabriel. He's not really fit for brutish men. I'm not sure if it was even him doing all of Gabriel's grunts and I didn't find him threatening at all at the end of the DLC. Plus, while I like his acting, it doesn't come across as well in his voice acting so he just sounded uninterested.

But I guess Dracula might be a little more fitting. Uhhhh, even though the Lords 2 trailer paints him as a brute rather than a schemer still.

Dracula at full power should sound like Jason Isaacs because in the Lords universe, all high-power beings sound like Jason Isaacs. That'd be great.

I never even heard of Robert Carlyle before LoS o.o;

I recall him being on a stargate show on sci-fi that is all I know.

[Chernabogue]

He played in several movies, including The Full Monty, in a Star Gate series (Universe?) and in the Once Upon a Time series (he's excellent in it btw).

[Kingshango]

His role as Rumplestiltskin in Once Upon a Time was pretty good. Plus he was once a Bond villain, so im sure he can do Dracula justice.

And Transpoitting God how could you forget Transpoitting?

Yeah im sure he;; do fine as Dracula, but Isaacs as Dracula would have been fun had they gone with it like they led us to believe. (especially with how they never listed his part in the trailers)

[Inccubus]

Actually though, all of those things have happened in Castlevania games before.
Mine carts haven't though, outside of PoR's five-second minecart moment Even then, I think that was supposed to be a train... thing... I don't know.

That said, I'm not at all opposed to seeing more diverse gameplay. Sounds fun!

I agree. There's some potential here, but the idea itself would need some interesting twists to make it interesting and set it apart from the plethora of similar ideas in other games. (Not to mention it's similarity in presentation to the scenes in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom".)

I'll jog your memory.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Trailer - E3 2010

Happens right at the beginning, Im pretty sure they wanted you to think that Jason Issacs was playing Dracula.

Well, I legitimately don't remember that part, but I can definitely see what they were going for.

So much missed potential. I'm clinging to Mirror of Fate for my Belmont vs Dracula fix.

... and in the Once Upon a Time series (he's excellent in it btw).

He's crazy awesome as Mr. Gold/Rumplestiltskin in OUaT. So devious and impish, as well as serious, dark and even tender.

Why do I get the feeling that Robert may perhaps come off as this when Playing as Dracula.

You can also hear RC as Dracula in the MoF trailer. I love the way he laughs.

Isn't Robert Carlyle Hitler in Hitler Rise of Evil?
