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

Also in the pic where Drac and Vic are talking, Victor seems to have something in his hand. Looks like a small pharmaceutical container

[Trevorcard]

Meh the same can be said about Julius and he turned out fine. Victor Belmont probably as last feels he should represent his clan he is conservative . Wouldn't be surprised if he is equipped with holy hand grenades of Antioch

[VladCT]

Julius is at the very least modern-ish with his leopard-print coat and dress shirt (I might be mistaken with the term here). Victor has a freakin' medieval gauntlet.

[EstebanT]

I forgot the leviathan was even a thing. Can we make a bullet list of things we know about the game so far?

And fights using a freakin' medieval whip... It could be just part of his heritage as the whip is it...

[Trevorcard]

Also the tattoo is a bit modernism for medieval Europe

[Slit_Zurifa]

Wether Satan is the final Boss or not (I don't hink he is, I guess he's the second to last boss) I would wish him to transform into a Dragon himself and gain control over Dracula's Dragon form so that we've got a fight Dragon against Dragon.

Also, when do you assume will the trophie list for LoS 2 appear?

It looks like they're trying to combine a medieval look with a modern look to create something that fits their hybrid setting.

And whoever said Julius was modern looking, he looks 1800s at best

[Ahasverus]

Julius has a great design anyway. The only Kojima belmont with a personality.

[beingthehero]

Nah, both Leon and Juste had personalities, even if Leon was stubbornly stoic.

I don't think pattern printing would be available in the days of yore, unless that's actual leopard skin, which I think would be impractical.

And fights using a freakin' medieval whip... It could be just part of his heritage as the whip is it...

Handing down a weapon through the ages because it's the only thing known to be effective is logical, at least. Handing down armor that might very well be obsolete after so long?

[e105beta]

I don't think pattern printing would be available in the days of yore, unless that's actual leopard skin, which I think would be impractical.

Practicality always loses out to cool in character design, but you could be right. I still stick to the claim that he looks more like an 1800's cowboy than anything.

On a slightly different subject, does anyone else think Leon should have kept his knight outfit? I think it looked cooler than his vampire hunting outfit:

It was also more historically accurate.

Hey, Alucard can wear whatever suit he wants, he always looks good

In other news, I just remembered there were pre order costumes, i wonder if there are unlockable costumes? What if ALucard is playable too and we get a classic costume? Siiick.

I'd acually love to see a full-on retro "Dracula tux and cape" costume for Gabe. That would look sick(every girl's crazy for a sharp dressed man!!)

So you guys if the game is supposedly 20 hours long like Lords of Shadow and Dave cox says there is exploration and game is up to thirty hours. Does that mean that exploration average is ten hours and he says there is apparently trials like Lords of Shadow in the game as well but in Eurogamer that also bunch of time is added due to an added mode.
So here is some Calculation estimates
Main Game = 20 hours
Exploration= 6-10 hours
Trials= 2 hours
Extra Mode (possibly New Game + or play as another character) = 2-3 hours
Total: 30+?
What do you guys think? Is Dave Cox really speaking truth about a large amount of exploration and if so how many hours would that be.
