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

WOW.

That was WAY better than I expected, holy SHIT.

Playable Dracula might be a really cool thing after all, and ALUCARD!

[Ahasverus]

That was impressive! So did he just wipe out the remainder of the Brotherhood? What was with the Golem/Titan thing?

And of course...Alucard.

How far after LoS1 does this take place? There was no hint of any castle, just the church at the beginning.

Wut? It was a City-Sized Castle!

And I guess the game will be played from both perspectives.

And, oh surprise, Dracula LOOKS POWERFUL.
THAT'S A FIRST IN THE SERIES 

[CastleDan]

So yeah, Alucard has a sword. Is everyone happy now

No i wanted a vita version!

That trailer made Dracula seem super intimidating.

Makes his state at the end of LoS even more shameful.

[Thunderbrand]

Anyone else get a Lord of the Rings vibe to the mass genocide of those knights? The opening scene to Fellowship of the Ring where Sauron comes out of his tower & starts wiping out people in all directions looked awfully similar.

[Kingshango]

I know you guys are in awe and all but:

Screencaps for those who couldn't see?

WHATS THIS? DRACULA GETTING HIS HANDS DIRTY AND ACTUALLY PARTICIPATING ON THE FRONT LINES, MANO A VAMPIRE POWERS?

WHAT BLASPHEMY IS THIS

It actually seemed a little ridiculous to me, yes. I started getting worried that the game would just be Dynasty Warriors Dracula, but then Alucard showed up.

Alucard.

ALUCARD!

[REmaster]

That Gabe design is really neat.

Yea I love how they incorporated part of his old costume into the new one, since he's no longer the noble knight Gabriel, nor the complete legendary Dracula. He needs a couple more centuries to fully embrace the Dracula look lol.

[Dremn]

That logo is sexy as fuck, and I REALLY like the new Dracula. Like, A LOT.

[Wonrei]

That Alucard white hair on the last picture

[Thunderbrand]

I didn't get "city sized castle" from the trailer. It looked more like a big cathedral surrounded by a huge outer wall & some towers. Then thousands of knights tried to storm it and were slaughtered....thats what I'm seeing unless I'm hallucinating.

Castlevania: The Game of the Movie PART II! 

Ok, cinematically, that trailer was amazing. But the content felt like an extension of Lords of Shadows, rather than Castlevania. It seems to hint at a return to Alucard (maybe created during Mirror of Fate?), but that doesn't make me jump for joy, either. No gameplay shown and no classic music hinted at makes me nervous, too. The logo is really cool, though. (But I imagine people will be upset with it simply adding a "2" to the title).

Basically, this was a non-trailer. All we (maybe learned) is that Alucard will be a part of it, and Dracula now has a whip. (Which raises the possibility of playing both Dracula and Alucard...and now I see what people were saying about having a Belmont be Dracula as being disturbing).

[Ahasverus]

I'm surprised on how they respected the Alucard design (Yeah we haven't seen his face.. until 30 minutes from now, that is) you can already picture how he'll look, long flowing hair and all.
