That pretty much sums it up. He didn't really lie, he just answered in a misleading way. Basically, we can't trust him because even when he tells the truth, it's usually misleading.

Mirror of fate's twist was pathetically predictable, but I can imagine the rage if he would've been honest.

OMG Guyz. Cox spoiled the game for everyone. Mercurysteam sux.

They can't win on this forum, really.

In other news, the easiest difficulty is called Twilight Knight lolololol 

[Asgardwolf]

I think its been voiced before but guys I am getting worried. The game is coming out in three months and the lack of coverage is worrying.
Edit: What I mean is the lack of gameplay videos since summer.

More art

It's fanart but it's still nice.

[Melanicus]

Well you see, it's all true--from a certain point of view:


Robot Chicken: A Certain Point of View

More art

LOL That thing was done in 10 minutes in Photoshop.

That`s not an official art. It`s a fan made, I think is from Ren the guy of the CV:LOS2 Facebook group.

WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T THEY MAKE A 2D CASTLEVANIA WITH THIS LEVEL OF ANIMATION

DAMMIT MERCURY STEAM ;___;

Too bad the animation budget would be immense. Ugh, would have been so good.

You know what enrages me more?

(click to show/hide)

"Mister Cox, is Trevor the new Alucard?"
"Noooo, no no. What? Haha, Trevor be Alucard? Hahaha, nooo" *pants*

And no "bleh bleh bleh the question was worded like this or like that" excuses. EVERYBODY knows what the fan meant, including Cox.

I HATE liars.

It's not a lie at all. Alucard himself even agrees.

"Trevor died a long time ago father. I am Alucard."

Cox is the only one to blame. Like you said, the twist is absurdly predictable and untasteful.

"LOL let's show'em a trailer and an official art where Alucard, who is totally not Trevor, wearing the same clothing as Trevor and with the same voice actor, and when somebody asks "is that Trevor?" we say "NOPS!" and may the LOLEZ! be with us"

It's not a lie at all. Alucard himself even agrees.

"Trevor died a long time ago father. I am Alucard."

(click to show/hide)

Which is ridiculously contradictory in itself. So, Trevor died now and he's Alucard, yet he insists in calling Dracula his father, which he is supposedly not, considering that he was made by Dracula when he was Gabriel the human, which he's also not anymore because he's Dracula, yet Dracula calls him his son when he's dying, yet he's not his son... AAAUGH!

Sorry, no. He may not be called Trevor "because Dracula changed his name", but his motives are the same, his soul is the same, his clothing is the same, his voice is the same, he recognizes Gabriel/Dracula as his father, and Simon as his son, thus he's essentially Trevor.

Also, whenever I see someone defending Cox "He's right, Trevor is not Alucard", I try reallly, really hard to not cry in fetal position. It seems like said person is trying too much to hide the truth from himself with semantic plays. I see the point. I understand the symbolics behind "Trevor dying and being reborn as a creature of the night, with nothing to lose anymore", but c'mon dudes?

I like the games, really. But the story is killing me. I REALLY want the final game to be extremelly epic, and by the look of things, it's doing very well.

2

... yeah.

[Bergaron]

I hope that he's a boss, and voiced by an awesome old British dude not yet cast in the game. Been waiting to see that crazy fucker again for a while; here's hoping they choose some more outlandish creatures to beat up. LoS1 amped that aspect up a little towards the end of the game, but not enough, really.

MercurySteam: Konaaaami!!! What did I tell you about leaving your PR campaigns to the last minute?
Konami: Aw, jeez, Dad's really sore at me now! Time to huff some more Dran-O!
*laugh track*

Don't worry guys, there's a Konami building in my neighborhood. I'll drive by, glaring at them menacingly, and they'll get the message then.

I said at the time, one of the things that MS was more superspoiler repented of MoF, have revealed much yet nothing "los2".

However even some videos reveal more, one in early January (probably the 10th) and another in February (no date).

More gameplay, the dragon, the toymaker and a surprise show more
There are only 10 weeks, it's nothing ... on the one hand I feel sorry in 10 weeks LoS is over, but then is exciting, begins a new adventure in Castlevania ...

AAAUGH!

You're grossly exaggerating how complex it is to make an, IMO, very poor point.

It's a very, very common trope.

Sorry, no. He may not be called Trevor "because Dracula changed his name", but his motives are the same, his soul is the same, his clothing is the same, his voice is the same, he recognizes Gabriel/Dracula as his father, and Simon as his son, thus he's essentially Trevor.

Did anyone say we can't call him Trevor? Dracula calls him Trevor.

Also, whenever I see someone defending Cox "He's right, Trevor is not Alucard", I try reallly, really hard to not cry in fetal position. It seems like said person is trying too much to hide the truth from himself with semantic plays. I see the point. I understand the symbolics behind "Trevor dying and being reborn as a creature of the night, with nothing to lose anymore", but c'mon dudes?

Stow the drama for a second, will you? Nobody is saying "OMG TREVOR ISN'T ALUCARD IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, OR VICE VERSA. THEY ARE TWO DISTINCT BEINGS ORIGINATING FROM TWO SEPARATE SOURCES". The point is that Cox was running MoF's PR at the point of making that statement, and upon being asked the biggest spoiler of the game, chose no to spoil it and instead responded with what ultimately amounted to a very PR answer.

I don't get why people get so "Cox lied, people died" about it. Sure, he could have abstained from answering the question, but he didn't, and the answer works if you're not being flat out literal about it.
