I'm actually quite thrilled by how they could manage the father/son relationship.
Here's hoping they don't mess it up lol

Updated the los2 page with the vga trailer for those who have not seen it yet and from the looks of it it will not be taken down since the person got permission from viacom

Edit  just replaced that one with the konami one

Trevor Belmont / Gabriel Belmont

This makes me sad what could have been 

[Ahasverus]

No, seriously. This LoS saga has a lot of narrative oportunities, good concepts and a dare I say it phenomenal foundation.. however execution started already flawed and I fear for the future. Remember how Gabriel was supposed to fall into madness as long as the game progressed? Well that didn't happened in game, it was not used, it was not developed. Remember how Laura's death was supposed to be emotional? Busted. Remember how the Lord of the Dead was supposed to be a master tactician and a fearsome figure? Well they made him look goofy and killed him in 3 minutes. See? Lots of chances to elevate this storya bove others, and lots of screw-ups. And now,  seeing as trailers for MoF and LoS2 seems to me TOO much story focused, I fear the games themselves could be, and judging by their first try, I think there's much to be worried about.

 If  MS kept the story clear then alot of this unused stuff would have not need to be thought about. Sometimes clarity,brevity, and most of all simplicity is the best way to go.

Where did you hear this? I've never heard that before.

I know it says so in Konami magazine. Gaming sites like IGN probably had picked up on it too back in the day.

"LoS has an AWESOME story! Just everything in it didn't come out good."

Oh, ok Ahasverus.

There should really be a scene where you see Gabriel put on his armor and tunic. That would improve the narrative by a long shot for me, personally.

Guess he's like a raunchier version of Alvarez, who was sassy hera at the forum when LoS was coming out.

[Flame]

I still want to know why the brotherhood has a skull for their insignia. or at least why gabe's armor has it.

[Kingshango]

I must be going crazy but I watched the trailer again I think I saw Dracula walking out of the church with his cape on moving towards the street.

I hope Im not the only one seein that.

It's interesting to actually see you be critical of LoS for once, and not be, "OMG, teh awesomest game EVERZ!!".

It makes a little sense since "Cornell" is generally used as a last name, but still.

Here.
There is a lot information about CV64 prior its release, but I am afraid not all of it could be checked for accuracy, since a lot of sources have dissappeared.
