I'm not against the kitchen, I actually liked, it's a juxtaposition but I think that's kinda the idea, this game is trying things that have never be attempted and probable never will. I personally want it to go nuts at everything.

Yeah, exactly. Impress me. I'm all about that life. This is still a Castlevania game with Vampires, Dracula, Belmonts, Heaven vs Hell, etc. It doesn't have to be the cliche of its medium.

Wow. Such a sudden explosion of posts.

I love the look of the city. The kitchen is interesting. Everything is an illusion in Gabe's mind. Yeah, he is on an acid trip. hehehe.

So, Konami Japan will further milk the LOS franchise. damn. And here I was hoping for something other than LOS.

Between this information and everything I just read in this thread I am pumped

Be wary of too much hype.
You might deflate if the game delivers less that what it promised.

This is basically my thought on the game. I love the complete wackiness of demons piloting mechs and Satan owning corporations like a demonic Mr. X from Streets of Rage.

I'm definitely looking forward to it... and I hope Konami is wise and doesn't turn LoS into the next IGAvania series by milking it for almost a decade until people are sick of it.

My personal hope/guess for the basic plot arch goes like this:

(click to show/hide)

Dracula fights for Zobek - Dracula somehow kills Satan - Dracula figures out Zobek has ulterior motives (why he didn't suspect sooner, who knows)- Dracula kills Zobek, not because he enjoys his life but out of principle - Dracula thinks "hey, maybe Satan had the right idea, and as long as I'm pissed I may as well spank the deity responsible for all this" - Dracula storms Heaven, fights God - God boots Dracula to Hell - Dracula becomes new king of Hell, Belmonts remain to antagonize him

On one screenshot with Victor, we can see a burning car on the right. So he's the modern day Belmont?

I didn't know there were Zerg in LOS 2. Btw why are the Zerg creatures fighting he mech in the beginning of the Video? I thought both of them are part of Satan's Forces.

Also were did you get that artwork of the winged Satan like guy? I didn't find it in the new screenshots.

The news that Konami of Japan is taking back the series is very nice, but words cannot express my disappointment if they would make a reduntant prequel to a storyline that the original creators already declared to need no further expanding. What happend to their plans of Castlevania having no set in stone history anymore? That sounded very exciting to me.   

[Chernabogue]

Rumors, lol.
