Interview with Dave Cox: Producer of Castlevania Lord of Shadows: Mirror of Fate

And we finally get to see Gabriel and Trevor in action.

After watching this one thing that mercury steam did really good with this game are the backgrounds I think these bg's are the best on the 3ds their just so detailed and the fact that there seems to be so much variety is 
This game is shaping up to be real nice and since I learned from the FE demo you have to play it yourself to really appreciate it videos may not do it justice. From the comic style cut-scenes to the bg, combo centric combat, and platforming it's just ahh...


also I wonder if Trevor can use a sword in battle this pic intrests me




The only minus I have is that the crowd attack takes way to much space should it not be more short?

[crisis]

As long as there are Medusa Heads present at some point, I will be happy.


And can someone man up & ask Dave Cox how or why does Gabriel have his Combat Cross when he clearly shattered it to pieces in the Resurrection DLC? Huge plothole right there (unless he says "Rinaldo made him a new 1" but that still wouldn't make sense cuz Gabriel shattering it signified that he no longer needed it since he's ALLL POWELLFURRR, to me at least. and the hilt is exactly the same so unless Rinaldo made several copies that are identical then why does Trevor's Combat Cross look different? and why would Gabriel after defeating Forgotton One suddenly go seek out Rinaldo immediately after leaving that realm and say "hay i need a new weapon mines broke" when he clearly doesn'twernoi3j23rj;a)

[Akuma]

I've been told that when you play as Gabriel in the Prologue it takes place supposedly before LoS1.

[Kingshango]

That's Trevor using the chain to parry Dracula's attack.

Gabriel's chapter is the prologue that takes place one year before the events of Lords of Shadow.

Kingshango comes and pwns me once again x_x

[Zetheraxza]

I will say though, the gameplay of all the characters is VERY similar and are only differentiated by their sub-weapons. The game otherwise is amazing. I like how Alucard uses "Teleport Whip". So far, Mercurysteam has shown the potential to elevate Castlevania. I'm glad, this is day 1 buy for me... And I'll buy the HD too if the game is worth several replays.

But it's in the shape of a sword like it transformed or something.

Look harder.

[Neobelmont]

Look harder.

I am. Still looks like a sword to me.

[Kingshango]

I am. Still looks like a sword to me.

I just CSI'd the hell out of that picture, it's the chain, you can even see the hook at the end.

[Akuma]

It's the chain with the stake at the bottom of it.

It's the chain with the stake at the bottom of it.

I see the stake and eveything but it looks to straight to be a chain to me then again ivy could do the samething but chances are it's the chain whip like y'all say it is. It's just the way it looks so straight in the shape of a sword.

[Dremn]

I'm kind of amazed how about a day ago or two ago I said we haven't seen anything about this game yet, and now we have this explosion of footage not too later.

This is really starting to look like something I would want to play, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high just yet.

Alucard looks like he's going to be a ton of fun to play as, and suplexing monsters as Simon looks satisfying to me for some reason.

And breaking backs 

[Akuma]

And breaking backs 

And air grab slams.

So how do you think the 3 characters stories will end?  You think Simon will be the first to vanquish Dracula?  Or do they all fail?
