Remember that long 8 minute trailer we got for LoS1? Wish we would get one like that for this game.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about:

Hideo made that trailer, I hope he does a new one (and the chuácabra's voice haha)

Everything comes full circle

Dat Satan voice

I love Jason Isaacs, but damn that's a nice Satan voice.

That said, the trailer all but spoils the entire game
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

All they need to do is invest a little bread into a decent commercial, that will get everyone's attention. But DON'T make it like LoS1's [Japanese-only] commercial:

Castlevania Lords of Shadow commercial PS3 sony playstation3 JP jpn japanese japan

seriously wtf was that about? lol


the last CV commercial we got in the USA was for Lament of Innocence, and I thought it was pretty cool:

CASTLEVANIA: LAMENT of INNOCENCE- 2003 Television Commercial #1

Audio interview with Cox, 18 min.
Cox was trying to be really careful about spoilers in that, but I ended up hearing things I probably shouldn't have heard yet.

Just a warning to you guys if you do listen to this.

Wow, this takes me back. I remember seeing this commercial a lot before I even got into the series.

So the new game will be an Akumajou? Interesting! 3DS I bet.

They seem to have switched back to Akumajo for localizing LoS2. I imagine because it's more brand recognition and the whole "Is Dracula in it?" cat is well out of the bag now.

Also, a Japan-made LoS3 sounds intriguingly weird. A Japanese take on a European take on a Japanese take on American horror movies and European mythology. It'd be extremely hard for it not to look completely disjointed next to the other three games though, especially if the last game makes the series as open-and-shut as Cox says.

I was playing around in photoshop with the latest assets released by Konami, and I found this behind (in another layer) the toy dragon artwork.

Considering the multiple skulls within the body, the organ-y look and multiple mouths, perhaps this is the LoS's version of Legion.
