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

[Lelygax]

It will become Gears of War with falling bridges. (God of War and Gears of War are GoW, so we will have a GoWvania and a GoWtra)

Can't wait for the arguments around the internet about who came first and who invented who. It's gonna be a grand ol time.

[Lelygax]

Well, one thing for sure: We will have a new stock of jokes to use xD

[Munchy]

Cautiously optimistic about a new Contra. It could be alright. But then again, we've seen time and time again that it's Konami and they have a limitless fountain of ways to derp things up.

But hey, if it introduces more people to Contra that'd be cool.

I bet Contra is gonna turn out to be a FPS, not a Gears clone. Konami (and every other japanese company) reeeeeaaally wants a piece of the Halo/CoD/Battlefield cake, but none of them seems to know how to do it. I'm prepared for a shitty Contra that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the sidescrolling ones, except maybe some aliens.

I would much rather have a GoW clone than a FPS, but something tells me it's not gonna be like that. Dunno.

So, Mr. Cocks wants to ruin another legacy.

Can't say I'm surprised. More compulsive lying content for all.

Maybe it will be a 3rd person shooter? I can't see it going FPS, even for Cox's radical brand of reimagining, and even for the "COD audience".

Cox already said he wanted to go for the CoD audience.

How about you all calm the F down and wait until some actual details are revealed before you start the bitch fest.

[Kingshango]

After seeing so many legacy franchises be rebooted and revamped in order to please the lowest common denominator who want nothing to do but play Call of Duty, Halo and Gears of War for several years, I think the early bitching is somewhat justified.

[Rugal]

Don't flamebait.

All this talk of retro-platforming shooters going FPS just makes me think of Maverick Hunter.

Unreleased Mega Man FPS Game: The Complete Demo [Maverick Hunter] [All Known Footage]

Honestly, I think that might have been pretty cool.

[Maedhros]

Disgusting...

I am calm. But sharing expectations and concerns is only natural. Otherwise you can't talk about unreleased games at all and that would be the end of many a forum. But yeah, nobody knows for sure how a Coxtra will turn out. 98% of us wants a 2D sidescroller, but 98% also fear that it's not gonna happen. I wanna bitch about that, a little.

But this is of course a thread about LoS2, so I'll save it for later
