@Lelygax: I fixed the -1 in your previous post.

Thanks, I didnt even noticed that I got a -1 (for a random reason that I dont know)

[Pfil]

I dunno... if it had turned into just Curse of Darkness but with more levels and slightly better graphics, maybe it was a good call.

If on the other hand, the folks making it were able to improve highly on level design, then it would really be a shame. But I guess we'll never know now.

At least we could have had another memorable soundtrack like Curse of Darkness.

You are welcome.
Funny thing is I got -1 just for doing that, from someone who have the sport of voting -1 every time I say something he disagrees, mostly about LoS, but more funny than that is that he never explains why the -1, nor he states he disagrees with my post or why.
It's not Ahasverus or Flame, by the way. Those are cool people.
Anyway, whatever.

sometimes I -1 without explanation.  just over heavy disagreement where ive discussed it to death.

for example, and no offense pfil, but the blind faith/praise in iga's alucard 3d game.. we know nothing about it, but i see people say we should have gotten it instead of los, despite knowing iga's rather bad record with 3d vanias. not to mention it was a 360 game pith that lpoked like late ps2 graphics.

between a bad but "faithful" game and a "different" but good game, od pick the latter.

im more than willing to give iga another chance in 3d, but at the time, i dont think he would have been the best choice. too soon after judgement.  he needed time to get his shit together. and we needed new blood... something fresh.

While Judgment suffer from terrible character designs, it has an interesting story, about Galamoth. The so fresh blood, in my opinion, didn't made a big difference, because while it has better graphics, interesting story, has nothing more or less in common with what the series are known for and Cox compared to Iga, in my eyes he will always be a looser as character, because when people criticized Iga, Iga never spoke ill of them or the fans, he just accepted the errors/mistakes he was accused for, instead Cox, said that we have the fans we wanted to have, we can't please everyone, so screw those who are bitching, also Iga didn't banned anyone for speaking bad of him or making a joke on him, like Cox did on his twitter with Nagumo.

Hey, I dont believe that I will say that but... I think I agree with Flame! :O
Imagine if while we endured all this time with Cox reigning, IGA was brainstorming new stories, gameplay ideas and shit for new CV games? This atleast gave more time so he can take a break, rest and have new ideas.

I never thought about that before, so I can be wrong and maybe stupid right now to think like that for the first time lol

I see your point, and no offense taken.
I thought the Alucard game was going to be another Curse of Darkness, and that was great for me, personally.

Ahhhh~ It would be really awesome if it happens.

I never thought of it that way.

Confirmed in this new article: we will get to play for a bit as Alucard after all.

Depending how the game plays out, having Alucard becoming playable in a new game+ would be awesome.

[Lelygax]

I expect that they dont plan to do the Alucard part of the story be a DLC.

[Flame]

willing to bet his gameplay will be pretty similar to Gabe, but minus the whip, and mainly the sword.

[Maedhros]

YESSS!

That's everything I wanted. Now I'm sure someone can even do a mod for make Alucard the main character in the game if they don't include that in the first place (which would be really stupid).

[Kingshango]

Call me a skeptic but I think the article meant Dracula, especially when the article said "Expect to be shocked and maybe even annoyed when playing as Alucard." Why on earth would we be shocked and annoyed about playing as Alucard for? If anything we'd be ecstatic to play as him, not annoyed. Plus Cox said repeatedly that Dracula will be the only playable character.

But then again developers tend to do that for example (warning, spoiler for a recently released game)

(click to show/hide)

Naughty Dog said time and time again that Joel will be the only playable character and not Ellie in The Last of Us. Turns out we play as Ellie for a majority of a chapter and Joel's daughter in the prologue.

So I wouldn't be shocked if Cox is shitting through his teeth and Alucard is playable in some form in LOS2, it's almost a foregone conclusion even.

Yes please, Trevor mode >>>>>>>>>>>> regular Curse of Darkness
