So anyone read this months issue of gameinformer? I did and the dragon from looks really cool since dracula actually turns into one I thought it was just a thing of smoke. I'have to look at it again.
Since it'll be just like the Dark Crystal, I'll probably only look once, say "wow, cool" and skip every time I need to use it (meaning time trial chalenges, probably).

Any news on whether the Dragon form is actually interactive? Or will it just be your standard, disappointing Gabriel summon like it appeared in LoS?

It deleted my dang comment fuuuu......

I'll start from the top

We know about the mist form it's used to dodge powerful attacks,enemies, and barriers, As for the stealth sections there's not much except for that Dracula can use bats to distract opponents but, afterwards "After charming his enemies into servitude, he can take control of them to avoid unwanted encounters."

As for the dragon form he needs a talisman to transform into it and that he needs "ancient dragon scales" to activate this form, other than that "it seems to be a nuclear option for when things get dicey."

Then there's his abilities which has him cutting his wrist to create blades to stun enemies, The Seal of Alastor which unlocks every skill for Dracula weapons but the article says " temporarily" and the stolas clock which slows down time and gives experience for each attack.

The article only has five picture one with the dragon form itself, skeletons, drac dodging an enemy, old drac, and past drac looking at his castle. nothing more than that.

I know it is just a gameplay challenge and balance but this Dracula is so materialistic when it comes to power. Some of these aren't even his own. He has to collect amulets and scales for his dragon form is kinda weak. Mathias did have the ebony or crimson stone but at least after that he worked for his powers after that. This guy needs to collect things and I'm only implying to Stolas, Alastor and the dragon scales. I'm fine with the Void sword and fists.

This is a different Dracula from Mathias and collecting stuff to achieve transformations or recurring to items to do somethings is just to make the game more entertaining. Just saying.

Is anyone else disappointed by the lack of bat form in the LoS trilogy?

At least the Mist Form and Wolf Form are still something. I want new mechanics though, not some bootleg clone of subweapons. At least the light and shadow magic is an actual gameplay now. And how does charm work? Does it let us actually control NPC or is it like Force Unleashed where you tell the enemy that your kin are betraying you and they fight their fellow knights.

Now that's edgy.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

Dracula Dragon Form

Ok, ok. I know it's low res, but it kinda looks like a bloodied flying possum.
Smaug is more magnificent. (Sorry dears, I just have to put it here)

Is anyone else disappointed by the lack of bat form in the LoS trilogy?

Me too. Maybe they don't like the idea of vampires transforming into bats.

Oh right. Forgot about that.
Maybe they don't want players to play hide and seek as a bat.
