I'm pretty sure Satan won't appear in MoF

Alucard will certainely have different gameplay than Trevor.

Do you work for MercurySteam? How can you be so sure about things pertaining to the game's development/mechanics? You know no more than us.


Maybe Trevor turns into Alucard via his soul ascending, like the 3 founders of the Brotherhood. Either way, it's still kinda "uhh what"

my 3ds is broken, it's gonna cost $80 to fix :/

Things I said are only suppositions, I'm not sure about anything, as I don't know no more than other people. I'm just trying to think about things and express my opinion. You could have seen it if you had read correctly my posts.

i'm not thinking alucard = satan + trevor's dead body.

not at all.

it's a theory certainly, but not one i can lean towards.

in fact, i'm trying to reason where it came from.

as for trevor 'becoming' alucard, it is something i could get behind. that way, gabriel/dracula didn't have to rape/knock-up some body to get alucard.

i wish i wasn't the only one resistant to that improbable and absurd alucard backstory. but i understand i am in the minority. but i just can't see gabriel (endgame/NOT DLC) or gabriel/dracula (evil incarnate) rape or have/want intercourse much less let a woman live. i just don't see it.

i do however like the idea of gabriel's good half + trevor = alucard, this to me is far more plausable. though i don't quite stand behind it either...

since Trevor is indeed Gabriel's son, perhaps Gabriel's curse or bloodline has something to do with it... who knows!

i think debating it at this point is premature. we still don't have all the information yet.

lol ok


perhaps Satan will appear in MoF, in a cutscene or enemy bio. who knows. and is it just me or does Alucard's artwork kinda remind me of a more detailed Amano's Sephiroth?

[gortaithe]

omg, that looks so beautiful!!! i'm so excited about this game!!!

I brought up the possiblity, though I don't think Trevor corpse + Satan= Alucard is a serious possiblity.

The vampire theory has been ruled out due to having a reflection when vampires, including Gabriel don't cast one.

The dhampir theory has been thrown out the window as of today.

Demonic possession/corruption is the only theory looking very likey at this point and is a very common occurance in nearly every Castlevania now with all evidence being pointed to Trevor as the resident corruptee in MoF.

As for who could be possessing Trevor remains a mystery, it just wouldn't surprise me if Satan was somehow behind it. Either him or that Lost Soul.

ah, thanks for explaining. i still disagree only because this is an entire reboot of the series. SOTN and maybe perhaps a smidge of CV 3 elude to alucard as being this evil dude that actually followed his father's footsteps. and because MS is turning everything on it's head, i don't think it will also borrow from the newer castlevanias.

but hey, it's s good theory, now that i understand it better. ^__^

Alright let's rest on Nelocard right now and play "I spy" with the monsters.

Well at least the artist went out of their way to make the enemies look recognizable this time.

But if that comes true.....then...............*gasp* , Cox is a liar!

[e105beta]

Not necessarily.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

Not necessarily.

care to explain?

And before you do, am I going to get some kind of exploitable loophole to Cox's statement answer lol?

[gortaithe]

maybe?? but i think he 'lied' before when people guessed that gabriel was going to become dracula. LOL

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

I don't recall him lying about Gabriel becoming Dracula.

More like it was hinted at heavily that Gabriel would FIGHT Dracula.

I agree. They all have a more CV-esque feel to them. Plague doctor masked enemy in the last picture reminds me of Paranoia(who also wore one of those masks). There's also that one picture of the, I would think, Succubi on that giant floating tentacle thing. The zombie art looks cool too(look more "classic undead zombie" than the bound, Silent Hill-esque multi-armed things that were in LoS. I do like this artistic approach better. Hell, they even done a little nod to CV1's Death Lab stage(much like CoD did in that part of the Abandoned Castle) with those coiled hanging electrical battery/electrode things:

I'm kinda wondering who's the face in the stained glass window:


Also about these:

The big puppet head in the background reminds me of the Puppet Master


Oddly colorul!
