Well it seems that LoS is the best selling castlevania game

Marie's tomb, I hadnt thought that



And yeah, LoS being the best selling CV was a granted

[Kingshango]

Im gonna assume that sarcophagus was Marie's.

I don't know if anyone noticed but there is another sarcophagus by the mirror ( thought it was a reflection at first). Could that have been Dracula's second wife and mother to Alucard?

[Gaawa-chan]

Man when Dracula dropped onto the battlefield I bet the soldiers were like "Ok who's bright idea was it to siege Dracula's castle, at night?!"

Lol.

They wouldn't throw him in there if it wasn't Alucard, they know how important the character is to Castlevania fans.

I think it would be a huge mistake to have a build-up like that and then have it turn out to be a different character than the one expected.  It's NOT nice to troll your fan-base like that. D:

At any rate, I'm certain it's not Hector/Joachim/Juste, because frankly, none of them were important/popular enough to warrant such a spotlight/build-up.  I suppose it could be some Trevor/Alucard hybrid.

Well if Trevor is Alucard, and its highly suspect that he is, then its perfectly possible for Marie to already be Alucard's mother

Just a random thought, but out of all the post I have not seen one that says "Hey Gabriel should impale some brotherhoods members like a skewer"

I will be sorely disappointed if there is no Impaler reference, come to think of it...

[Reinhart77]

speaking of dead brotherhood members, i wonder if Cardinal Volpe, or whatever his name was, who sent all those knights to their deaths, meets with a gruesome end. 

[Flame]

If I remember right, wasnt Symphony the only game that had any kind of Impaler reference, with the skewered bodies in the place you first meet Death in?

I suppose we just got used to having Dracula never actually impale anyone. Classic Dracula just- hate to say it- wasn't quite that hardcore.

While possible, I'm not entirely sure one can conclude that from "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is the most successful Castlevania game to be released in the franchise’s history." If it said "most financially successful" then yes. There are other singular and combined metrics for success (combined with sales and other things) that even factor in business-wise, like brand notoriety and such.

that entire army had better be on stakes after that battle, just so he can live up to his name >.>

Well we know its not the most public, popular, or highest-reviewed Castlevania ever released, so that really only leaves sales.

Hey guys, just chiming in with a quick LoS2 wallpaper I made. Only spent about 10 minutes on it, but I thought maybe a few people might want it, so here it is....

Your forgetting the impaled enemies in the upside-down Library.

Call yourself a Castlevania fan? Pah!

[Lumas]

No actually there were impaled enemies in cv64 during the first stage.
