Topic: "The Dragon Returns" - Castlevania Lords of Shadow Sequel (HERE BE SPOILER INFO)

I don't know about that. It's more along the lines of what Legends did more than LoI, and a lot of people didn't care for the whole "Grandaddy Dracula and Grandson Trevor" thing. With LoI, at the least, Belmonts and Dracula(Mathias) were not related by blood. They were just good friends. It's easier to swallow(to some) that Dracula was once a friend/ally to the Belmonts in the past than a blood relative, and that the eternal struggle(not literal, but poetic) originated from the betrayal of a comrade in arms, which gave rise to a family's feud against the Dark Lord. Of course, others just don't like the idea of Belmonts carrying Dracula's blood. It, to them, diminishes the original strength of the Belmonts by giving a reason why they are superhumanly strong. It's not that they are just "prime hunters of evil" that are humanity's greatest hope(badass holy warriors that are at their physical peak, and they are able to take on the forces of darkness BECAUSE they train their asses off), but becaue they have Dracula's blood coursing through their veins.

This is actually closer to Castlevania Legends than Lament, Where Alucard bangs Sonia Belmont and therefore Trevor is Dracula's grandson.

But ooooh noooo, the game was removed from canon not because of that really convoluted linking, but because IGA is totally sexist.

A sexist creates Shanoa... he canned Legends because it's history is fucking RETARDED, that's why.

[Foffy]

Is it really stated anywhere directly in Legends that Sonia and Alucard bear a child?

[GuyStarwind]

Ok is this crap about Simon or whoever being a vampire a real thing or just some rumor? I'll be pretty upset if he's a vampire, in fact someone might die. Just sayin.

It's been debunked.


But I wouldn't be surprised if it was real.

[GuyStarwind]

Thank goodness! Moreover, here's to hoping it doesn't happen.

[VladCT]

To be more specific, only the trailer's been debunked. It's still possible that the Simon is Gabe's son thing is kept as a Shyamalan twist.

[Kale]

I'm confused.... (didn't read the whole thread)

Dracula means Son of the Dragon...... So wouldn't it be The Son of the Dragon returns?

[DragonSlayr81]

Like I said before, the son of a dragon is still a dragon, just like the son of an ogre is still an ogre. 

I hope "The Dragon Returns" is merely just a title to anticipate the revealing of the game. If the subtitle to the game was "The Dragon Returns", that would be ultra cheesy. I can't think of any title(especially movies) that use "Return" and sound anything BUT cheesy. "Return to the Blue Lagoon", "Batman Returns", "Superman Returns", Halloween 4: Return of Michael Myers", "Return of the Living Dead", "return" is just a hokey word to use in a title of something.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Son of the Dragon = Dracula (Vlad III, aka, Vlad 'Tepes', [Impaler])
Dragon = Dracul (Vlad II)

(from the actual Vlad Dracula III real-world events)

s'called sarcasm. Of course it was canned because of the way they linked the two families. But there are people who insist that it was because IGA hates women, and ignore whatever actual reasons there were.

[VladCT]

To his defense, written sarcasm is somewhat harder to detect.

Yup, kind of hard to detect your sarcasm there.

On the other forum, that I'm admin, we use an specific emoticon when we want to be sarcastic. Use this one here:

Return of the Jedi, Return of the King? Really?

Edit: Return of Samus. Awesome game
