It's possible Trevor did not sound too confident for his upcoming battle against Gabriel. Humans maybe not extinction what about maybe those who challenge Dracula die while the other are forced into slavery or something. A Belmont failing is a very interesting, and as for Gabriel he just seems pissed off. A quite type of pissed, but pissed none the less.

Yeah, he just looks like Dracula not LORD Dracula, Simon talks about "The Evil" in the castle, not anyone in special, so I think Gabriel is anonymou, and perhaps the real war starts in LoS2

Hopefully Trevor failing has consequences. Like the countryside thrown into havoc and monsters running amok.

Richter didn't exactly fail, but when he was possessed there was really no consequence on a grander scale.

But maybe Trevor won't "fail" per say. Maybe he'll defeat Dracula, or at least halt his evil, and just won't be able to return.

Speaking of which, do you think this game will have multiple endings? Maybe you can prevent Trevor's capture and continue playing as him.

I would want alternate costumes. NES version of Simon, and cover art Trevor would be nice and unlockable tracks in an 8/16 bit form. Belmont's theme in 8/16 bit would be heaven.

If it does have multiple endings, It'll probably have them ala DoS, where there's one canon ending, and maybe a smaller, less developed alternate ending as a "what if?"

The trailer is really short.  But I like the animation, looks sweet.

[A-Yty]

Am I the only one who thinks the animation and graphics in the trailer looked like absolute shit? Great cut scenes MercurySteam, with no moving mouths. Horrible looking cel shaded models too.

The 3DS is more than capable of great animation and graphics beyond that. just check out Super Street Fighter IV, you know, A LAUNCH TITLE.

Nope, I agree. And I really don't think that money was the issue.

[Lords of Shitow]

the animations do suck but i think it was intentional. looks like they're going for a style reminiscent of the comic booky cutscenes in the portable metal gear solid games, as was seen in the LOS DLC except they've decided to mix that with meh cel-shaded models. it's not super attractive but hopefully that's because these are just short parts in between lots of gameplay.

not the most visually appealing thing but it looks to me like the western version of DoS's animu character portraits as seen in A-Yty's sig. not a lot of effort involved but also not a result of lack of money or power; just a simplistic stylistic choice.

Is the game confirmed to be playable on the show floor?.

[whitedragon_nall]

I wasn't too impressed with the trailer. Too much cut scene and not enough gameplay and gameplay's the part that REALLY matters.

Yep, we might get some gameplay footage after the Nintendo presser is over.

[Dominus]

I like the cell-shaded style. Reminds me of Okami. I believe that MoF is part of how they'll pay for LoS2 so it makes sense to save in things like cutscenes

[Ring_of_Varda]

has anybody seen this yet? hasnt opened up but i wasnt aware that it existed haha.

That trailer is very short, but still it's looking more interesting than the first LoS.

[Nagumo]

It seems like the regular Castlevania Facebook page will post updates about E3. Since the Lords of Shadow page and the regular CV page are seperate, I wonder if that means we'll get some regular Castlevania too, spin-off or otherwise? I don't expect them to post news about LoS since they already have a special page for that.
