I like the idea that Victor is cryptically the good side of another character, maybe Gabriel or someone else.  He's even wearing a gauntlet.

Also, is there any indication that Cornell is returning in any form?  There may be a few mild similarities between an unshaven human Cornell and Victor.  It's hard to say.

There was NO split, but no one says there won't be a split at the end that triggers the Gabriel vs The Dragon battle. That's pretty effective as they would both die and it would be a kinda redemption for Gabriel without being an astounding triumph.

Everything comes full circle

Maybe in the split, the Dragon Form will posses the Leviathan monster that could be dormant beneath the Castle remains and that is Gabriel's Final Battle

... especially considering there's a Castle Area called Underground Garden.
Wow, really? Wonder if they were inspired by the Saturn Nocturne in the Moonlight?

>Still no PC preorder

Seriously, why. "preorders now open!" and they even show 360/PS3 AND PC.

On that matter, I wonder if they will do steam exclusive or actually have a physical PC release. I'd really like a physical release...

Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

So my impressions of the trailer is it's good but is not that best put together trailer like the last two. Although awesome Carmila and motherfucking death puts in the good category. You know for as much as people shit on mod I think the game had more memorable boss battles than Lords of Shadows 1 and even more challenging. I am hoping the boss battles are plentiful in LOS2 and hope they are good as Cornell boss battle which was amazing.

the trailer lacked 1 thing; gameplay. it feels like it wants to cater to Hollywood movie audiences moreso than us [see: Dark Knight Rises trailer i posted]. it's still a good i mean "EPIC" trailer, but it wouldn't have hurt to throw in some actual gameplay footage, sheesh (and by that i mean showing off platforming segments, delivering some combos to a group of enemies, etc)

Probably the last trailer they will show it. Although we did have the tutorial trailer a few months back.

They are afraid that if they threw in gameplay, fans might notice stuff that they don't want to show yet.

THIS.

In the latest trailer, they showed a physical PC box, so let's hope there'll be one.

From what I hear, Europe, (or parts of) are getting a physical release. it still gets registered to steam, but it's physical.

the trailer lacked 1 thing; gameplay. it feels like it wants to cater to Hollywood movie audiences moreso than us [see: Dark Knight Rises trailer i posted]. it's still a good i mean "EPIC" trailer, but it wouldn't have hurt to throw in some actual gameplay footage, sheesh (and by that i mean showing off platforming segments, delivering some combos to a group of enemies, etc)

We've seen gameplay though. We had that whole Xbox video showing off some of Gabe's moves and shit.

This is just a hype/VA trailer to sell the VA's and characters.
