Topic: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate 3DS (Discussion Thread)

[Superhunter]

What do you guys think the odds are of LoS 2 pulling an Evil Dead 2 on us and pretty much remaking Mirror of Fate in the first chunk of the game? I'd be pretty surprised if they limited a character like Simon to a 3DS exclusive and maybe a cameo in the big system sequal.
By remake I mean a condensed version, maybe even through cutscenes, although I really really wanna play a high-res Simon. Of theirs also Alucard, and while I wouldn't put it past MS to introduce his character without the context provided by MoF, I really hope they dont. So we might also see a hi-res Trevor, in cutscene form or playable.
I'm pretty sure this is appropriate for this thread, sorry if i should have posted in the LoS 2 thread.

The story of mirror of fate is the perfect now, is no need for put new story of the lords of shadows 2, mirror of fate story ended perfect, every thing closed perfect, now cox is writing sure will esplendid new story for lords of shadows 2.

You are just the worst kind of fan. MoF is NOT perfect. It's main flaw- is trying to be a console game scaled down to a handheld game. It should have been either one, or the other.

Secondly, The reverse order of the Story doesn't really work as well as it could have. They could have worked the "SPOILERZ: TREVOR IS ALUCARD" plot point in without having to tell the story backwards. Simple.

Put Trevor's story first. The ending remains the same, EXCEPT we are not shown the name on his tomb. Next comes Simon's story. THEN, comes Alucard's story, which plays just like it normally does, but at the end, the game shows you the truth or something.

I don't know, but putting the reveal of Dracul naming the tomb Alucard due to not knowing his son's name, could have been worked in much better while retaining a more cohesive plotline. I mean, I will admit, I liked how Dracula Entombing Trevor came out- it was a really well done scene. But I would gladly sacrifice it for the stories being player in proper order, with the reveal done differently.

This I agree.
But really, Cox and co. should have just kept silent and not tell us about Alucard.

Was it the marketing division or someone else who got greedy and went ahead?

FINALLY

Castlevania Lords of Shadow ~ Mirror of Fate (Soundtrack): Dracula's Battle / Theme

Hmm... not bad. I feel it's pretty disconnected, though. The ending part have the same music that plays at Satan, I guess. It's the best part of that song too.

[Kingshango]

During that song I kept thinking, they could have EASILY snuck in a motif of Illusionary Dance during the intro.

Still like it tho.

[crisis]

"If I were to be reincarnated, I'd wanna be Trevor again."

what does this mean¿

[Kingshango]

It's a Brave Fencer Musashi reference. Those who played it (and got a game over) should get it.

[crisis]

i've Played and beaten BFM, but I don't recall that quote or who Trevor is¿
you must elaborate o.o;

[Lelygax]

I remember vaguely, but he changed Musashi to Trevor in this quote.

[TheouAegis]

Dracula's theme sounds more suited for a short cutscene than a battle, unless they're trying to make the battle harder by lulling me to sleep.

Edit: WTF? Dude ripped off Danny Elfman's "Batman" theme at 3:30 or so! Boring ass song and then blatant ripoff. Ugh. Give me back my "Black Night"!

It's the same progression but lacks the tonal relief. Not enough evidence to call it a "ripoff".
I think this is actually a pretty good theme. A cut above most Araujo's non-melodic themes.

Why is left alucard so much mre handsome than right alucard?

[Sindra]

Aegis, it has some elements of Elfman's Batman, but that's about it. The melody isn't really the same.

Ugh, and it doesn't even feature the *good* part of "Final Confrontation", which would be the end where you hear the chord that has that familial tone of "Beginning". The build up with this new one is too long and too drawn out, and not even a respectable finish that makes it worth it at all.

[Pfil]

I can't spot the similarity with Danny Elfman's cue. At what point is it?
