Watching it via a French website. Hoping for CV footage.

Yeah I saw the 'Press "X" ' bullshit.
Can't I just destroy enemies the old fashioned way?

Wrote that down in my notebook along with what I could get in that short time frame, but I will say this MoF looks good alongside Mickey and Kingdom hearts. Fast and fluid is what I saw, and since it got a spot on nintendos presentation it must be something.

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.

Except the cutscenes in MGS: Peace Walker were better. There were other games with better animation than this one.

I didn't like what they've shown yet. The history is getting even messed than LoS already was. I want to see more gameplay, because that's seems to be the best part of this game and the trailer has 5 seconds of it.

No problem. I too was disappointed by E3 this year.

The site has bios for Trevor and Simon. Trevor is 27 and Simon 36.

The Mirror of Fate section of the LOS 2 site is open! They have bios for both Trevor and Simon.
Interesting to note that according to Simon's bio that he was born in 1067, is 36 at the time of his quest, and is avenging the death of his parents. So his story will take place in 1103...

I REFUSE TO PRESS X!

Didn't someone say the QTEs were only for moving an enemy from "stage 1" to "stage 2" so to speak?

Either way, they don't really bother me as much as they seem to other people. Well, as long as it's not Heavy Rain.

[Chernabogue]

Hey, the old guy from the MoF trailer looks a lot like Father Nikolai in OoE.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Actually the old guy looks like an old version of 'Good Cornell' from the artwork pictures.

I REFUSE TO PRESS X!

The future of the entire Belmont clan depends on you pressing da X! Do you really want that on your conscience? Dracula destroyed mankind because of you being stubborn I can see the next game dealing with this issue. A new hero rises to take revenge on you, Jorge. NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

(Got carried away there. And I honestly don't wanna press X either, so I'm guilty too!)

So do we get any more Castlevania at E3? Nintendo's 3DS conference perhaps?

Konami has had no presence so far.

[Dominus Agony]

QTEs suck ass, I don't care how they're implemented. I honestly can't understand how people are OK or looking forward to that. And prepare for more plank-walking & shimmying.

And I'm glad we could finally put to rest the "Dracul/Dracula" name issue.

Tomorrow I believe the guy who presented the 3ds stuff said around 6:00pm there would be a 3ds showcase on the nintendo e3 site and facebook if I recall.
