Wait, doesn't that mean Trevor later turns into Lucard?

Captain Trevor Lucard of the Star Trek Enterprise.

Great, now CV characters are drug addicts too. What ever happened to the good old "Just Say No!" ideology of the 90s video games?

I hope this game would have a great soundtrack...But unfortunately it does not seem so, from the footage I've witnessed.

We've heard what may be the title screen music in the first trailer and interviews plus an additional track in the Halloween trailer.
Too early to make that assumption IMHO.

Well the composer of MoF is the same dude from LoS (Oscar Araujo), so those that were disappointed with the LoS soundtrack will most likely be disappointed with MoF's. Not to say that there won't be any remixed classic tunes here & there, but I won't get my hopes up.

Belmont's Theme was & still is my fav track, hope they use it again

[A-Yty]

Oh, almost everyone loves or at least likes Belmont's Theme. And I think that is a good reason not to regurgitate it immediately. Same goes for WoA.

If Araujo wants to do better this time around, he should just try being more inspired by the melodic style of CV over the years and do fresh stuff with it. I don't want him to ape Yamane or any particular composer. I know he could do his own Castlevania thing if it was more memorable than LoS music.

But I'm not holding my breath.

Fair enough.

[TheouAegis]

In fairness, I completely dislike some of Yamane's CV music, so I Arujo doesn't have much to worry about with me. But I agree, melody is important. No ambient music, please. If you want to rock out in a catacomb, then by all means jam those guitars and riff the bass in a dreary stage full of piled skulls and decayed corpses. The music in a game needs to make you want to play through it. Ambient music is good for games like Resident Evil or Metroid. CV's a rocking tunes type of game series with a little eeriness thrown in.
