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

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

You're probably the only one on this forum. It was discussed as hell here, since almost the release of the first trailer.

Yea, it was widely speculated around the forum that was the case.

Especially after the leaks came out.

It was not much of a shock around here at all, although some like myself did not like it.

[Bergaron]

The scene with Alucar, is authentic, not an illusion. It is during the attack of the brotherhood of the castle (remember the trailer).

About the end. Enric Alvarez is a fan of Japanese anime, do not expect an end "Disney" is a story about evil, will be tragic. You saw the first.

And remember that with this release dies this timeline, so what happens to the characters is not very important (there will be no more future, although maybe if passed).

Wow so I got to play the demo today and man was it awesome!

I have to say, as an action game fan, the combo possibilities are going to be fantastic since you can easily switch between the Void Sword, Chaos Claws, and whip so easily. I was pulling off some pretty cool combos. I really wish the game had a hit counter so you knew how long your combos were going.

Im not sure if I'm feeling the "Hold L2 to outline your path thing." there are a lot of objects/platforms that are interactive but look like they're just part of the background. Still, I'm glad the highlight option is there because it would be really annoying to not have any idea where to go next only to find that it's something that you wouldn't have thought was a mode of transport. There were a lot of things like that especially when you're climbing on that war machine.

Still it was awesome. Gabriel/Dracula plays so very well. I can't even imagine what he'll play like once everything's unlocked. I'm even more excited now!

I don't think LoS2 will have too much plot twists. The path to the end will certainely be quite straightforward (Gabriel must find his powers and kick Satan's ass, and we'll get some clues from what happened in the past). The ending can take 2 forms, from what we know:

(click to show/hide)

1. Gabriel finishes his mission, is freed from his immortality, and goes to heaven (in the latest trailer, Marie says something like "It is time for you to come back to us", us meaning Marie, Trevor, maybe Claudia, etc.)
2. Gabriel destroys Satan and Zobek, and decides he should become the new Lord of Darkness.

I personally would like version 2.

He destroys Shaft first before the Satan and Zobek, I think.

I prefer:

He destroys Zobek and Satan and make them his bitches.

From what I heard (and hearing) in the demo's tracks, and in my own opinion, LoS2's music is better than LoS1's. The composition is better, the addition of electronic elements adds something really nice.

[Flame]

With LoS being a success, Aurujo was probably able to get a little more of his own way with the music. The suits wanted him to be different from Yamane's music, from what I heard he wanted to do it similar at the start. So they went more bombastic, and started to creep in with the gothic in MoF and seemingly LoS2, without straying too far from what they established as LoS musical style.

[Dremn]

Someone on /v/ ripped the soundtrack from the LoS2 demo. Enjoy.

Tried the PSN demo of LOS2! Fun, fun, fun! The only downfall is that I've seen the demo and it's been played out since E3 at least, so it kinda took away from the demo a bit. Also, it seemed kinda dated knowing the game has had a bit of a graphical overhall. I agree the soundtrack is waaay more badass this time around!

[Kingshango]

Ugh, someone spoiled all of the mission names of the full game, kinda wish I hadn't seen it.


But I can say that this game is gonna be loooooooooooooong.

/v/, Someone who extracted the ost from the demo got a list of all the missions from the game.

Go in now before it goes 404, you'll know the list when you see it.
