so why does it all look so much like world of warcraft

[Kingshango]

If that hunchback thing is a chupacabra, or a chupacabra like enemy that takes your abilities for a filler fetch quest, then my hype for this game will go down significantly. Sorry, that thing really pissed me off in LOS1.

Other than that the second artwork getting me hyped up to take on Dracula.

I dont really see why are people are so upset at the Chupacabra. Its pretty much the "Giant Fleaman" from RoB.

Boo.....

In the next parraph they explicitily call it a Metroidvania

My hype for this game is in limbo at the moment. I need gameplay Konami, now!

Except that it didn't steal all my stuff and hide while talking annoyingly.

I'm pretty sure the thing also took just one hit to die.

Looks like a full hands on gameplay video is gonna either make or break my hype for this game.

We should be getting one very soon, sometime this week. There is a demo on the showfloor, someone has had to have played it by now.

yea my hopes for the game just went down a bit as well.

I am TRYING to give Cox and his team a chance after being burned by LOS but they seem to be set in their ways.

The Titan battles where something I did not like in LOS and to hear that they are returning really does rub me the wrong way.
Sure its in 2.D now but its still a titan battle, hopefully they can translate it better than they did in 3.D

And hearing that the music will once again be done by the same person who composed for LOS has me worried as well, especially after hearing them say that they are going to be drawing inspiration from LOS rather than the classics games.

*sigh*

Just show me some gameplay and let me hear some ingame music before I just get completely down about this game.

[Neobelmont]

Yes, but Cox said on his twitter that it's optional. If you want to, you can just keep smacking it.

Right  Also thanks Jorge for translating the article. I was never that proficient in spanish( B or c more likely c in spanish 1, c in 2), but I would eventually get most if not at least some of it at one point 

[Tavis Belmont]

And in order to not divulge more details and ruin the experience of discovering for yourselves the passionate plot of this work, we will only tell you that all of this will have a climactic conclusion between 'father and son', (that is Trevor and Dracula).  "For us it was very important that the player feel emotionally implicated by the story" says Alvarez "even though this is not going to be necessarily what they have known in the past with this Saga, whic is more recommended since they will not know exactly out take on this."

This part that Jorge translated almost certainly points to Trevor being Alucard. As much as I hate it, how would he fight his father if you progress through time? I guess you could head back to Trevor's time to have this father-son duel, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of going forward in time.

The parallels of Trevor becoming a vampire make sense, but I guess I'm just a sucker for the old-fashioned NES good guy vs. bad setup. Mario vs. Bowser. Mega Man vs. Wily. Link vs. Ganon. Belmont vs. Dracula. I'd be kind of weirded out if I found out Link was a descendant of Ganon.

here's one of my fav Titan battles

Castlevania OoE - Boss Fight - Eligor


concerning the music, if Araujo makes the tracks more like Belmont's Theme, then I'd be ok with it

I'm crossing my fingers the Titan fights will be more like that. I want to platform a boss, not shimmy it.

And yeah, Belmont's Theme was great. IMO, if Araujo can make an entire soundtrack that reflects his work on Waterfalls of Agharta, Belmont's Theme, and that sexy little sequence in the middle of the Carmilla fight, I'll be set.
