Trailer

frikin amazing.

That trailer link works (just fast-forward past Last of Us).

QUESTION: Can someone help me understand where Gabriel's coming from? He's angry he was imprisoned in sleep, and now he wants power back. But, how did he ever get so maniacally power mad to begin with? Did I miss something? It wasn't in the main game of LoS that I played. I skipped the DLC, but from what I read of it, I don't know what in it caused him to be a raving lunatic who thinks the whole world is responsible for the death of his wife and did him wrong. I mean, she even told him to let it go--that was closure right there. What's going on with this Dracula?

[Oralox]

I wonder if this will be Gabriel fighting the order, vampire hunters, angels and wizards or something.

[Maedhros]

Probably there'll be multiple playable characters this time.

Maybe all, also in other news I have updated the Los2 page with some new images, will update as soon as more images come along been searching like crazy and these two are all that I came up with might remove the other since it's so small.

I don't even know where Ahasverus got those three images impressive

[Maedhros]

Neogaf. Someone captured them from the trailer.

[Ahasverus]

Neogaf. Someone captured them from the trailer.

Yep. I think more will come now that the trailer is avaliable.

hohoho I just chalk it up to centuries of cursed vampirism/perpetual agony drove him mad.

"I cannot die, yet.. I cannot live."

Or a virtual hyperlink to "See Dracula in all other media and the older CV games to understand his pure evilness and hatred for things if you have any questions!".

I think it was already confirmed in the Lords DLC that Gabriel having vampire blood made him turn into a bigger ass.

Just watched the Trailer... OH SHIT! Since we will have speculations and countless discussions, We gotta have nicknames for these Chars...

Gabriel as Dracula - We call him Gabula/Dracul
Trevor being Alucard - Trevucard
Weak old looking Gabula - Drycula! Because he needs blood and he's thirsty.

Okay, so why is Drycula wearing a Green and Yellow Sash... Those are Trevor's Coat's Colours... WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING HERE?

That being said, the memory thing... "Assassinvania" and City gameplay, "Batmanvania". I like this! So the game will take place in the future! This is great news indeed! And there is alot of Sword use in the game as well. I didn't see any Blood Whip... Those things probably use Mana/Bloodlust and may be stronger than the sword... But this is a huge change of feel from the First game. So there is alot of Variation in the Saga. First game is a Linear Hack n' Slash, Second is a Classic Sidescroller and the third is exploration and plays similar to AC and Batman, although those weren't direct gameplay. This is gonna be GOOD so far!

These are Bright Times... Times with hope...

Weak old looking Gabula - Drycula!

How about Crusticula?

[Inccubus]

The instant Gabula said he had no memory it reminded me of "Legacy of Cain: Blood Omen 2".

[JR]

Ugh. Now I don't know what to believe. The epilogue from the first game tells us he wants to die, now we hear that he's weak after centuries of sleep but wants lost power and vengeance, only to see him as looking normal again. So it's just some kind of frankenclip that was spliced together to keep us speculating? Not quite as satisfying as the MoF trailer was, I have to admit.

[Munchy]

Trailer looked alright. I like Robert Carlyle but his delivery was kinda lacking.

Surprised to see him use a sword. I assumed the licorice whip would be his main attack; maybe it's part of his dark magic in this one? That'd make sense as the cinematics made it look pretty OP. Hopefully the sword's fun to use.
