I'd need to see the Trevor art to see how cool he looks, but I'm digging Simon's look. I'm actually interested in this game!! Yay!!!!
Also, the bit about LoS being a sub-series, did Konami REALLY confirm that, or is NP just their opinion to distance it from the classic series? It's worded like the classic CV series is still on Konami's priority list, but I can't imagine HOW considering LoS's goal was to replace it as the "new series". Unless they are holding IGA(or someone else) in their darkest dungeon, whiping him with his own whip and saying, "Dammit, work faster. Make a GOOD game!!!!" LOL. J/K. If that was the case, it would REALLY parallel the comment Cox made regarding the Ultimate series of Marvel. I mean, Ultimate Marvel is probably the most popular "alternate canon" Marvel has made, but the classic canon STILL exists(and is considered the definitive canon). Though, I can't say I'm a fan of calling it the "Lords of Shadow" sub-series. Cox should've called the sub-series something different. "Castlevania D"(for Dragon/Dracul) would be my pick(maybe make the "D" as a blood splatter logo behind the "Castlevania" title). Establish it as it's own thing. "Lords of Shadow" subtitle was great for the first one, but why drag it out for additional installments? I mean, it wasn't like Harmony of Dissonance was called "Symphony of the Night 2". That would've been, frankly IMO, stupid(not just because it's a stupid idea, but because it SOUNDS stupid). Castlevania D: Mirror of Fate. Castlevania D: "Enter key plot references to LoS's sequel". Much better!
LOL, also, Castlevania D sounds like a slight nod to us!!!!
