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

[Mike Belmont]

MS and Cox are VERY bad at keeping secrets, and not because of leaks. They are just way too open about details, which opens the floodgates of speculation, which usually ends up with somebody guessing correctly.

Exactly, that is why my surprise to hear some one here, like Bergaron have troubles with the information leak. In the other hand, what would happen if he gave wrong info, like DLCs or Special Edition localization? I mean, this is an open forum, and everyone is free to talk/write, I think.

[Maedhros]

Not surprising considering Ahasverus always posted about the leaks on fucking Neogaf, where there's one PR guy from Konami who reads the forum everyday. And always said that they were posted here. That was the main problem. Making references to his leaks would be ok, but saying where to find was a real problem.

Sadly, I think they'll track him.

So, the spoiler tags that many ask for it have not worked well after all, I supossed...

Spoiler topics shoud be avoided by people who don't want spoilers.

Call me a dick, but I'll spoil on this topic without a second thought if I can. If someone made a topic with "NO SPOILERS HERE", I wouldn't post spoilers there, because, common sense.

I don't think so.  Not even Alvarez could. And if Klownami weren't such morons at almost everything (not blaming Mercury here) bergaron shouldn't had be needed.

I don't think Konami are being dicks. Companies wants their secrets to be kept that way for their reasons. Things like this can both make people buy or not buy a game and since they can't control it, naturally they will be against it.

If Bergaron is someone from Konami, he probably signed a contract that prevented him of leaking things.

i remember around late 2007/early 2008 there was a guy that suddenly appeared on GameFAQS of all places & posted a couple screenshots of the then-unknown Order of Ecclesia. he also asked for help for proper translation of the name of the first crab boss. not too long after he disappeared & the thread was removed

even before that i recall someone that was leaking us info about portrait of ruin. he/she stuck around for a lil while even after the game was released. then disappeared

I think that we can continue to expect things like this on the future, as this is the biggest Castlevania forum on the internet.

Let's not point fingers now, just cross your fingers our comrades will be able to avoid Konami's ninjas safe and sound.

And it was Gunlord of all people that suggested Brachyura.

I remember taunting the guy at first because we all that the screens were fake, and saying 'are you seriously kidding me? doesn't konami, a Japanese company, actually have a translation division?" and he said 'I AM THE TRANSLATION DIVISION!'

It was also Semianonymous that got him in trouble because he emailed Konami about the leaked screens to see if they were legit. That's when the guy disappeared....and then IGA said someone got fired for that in one of the OoE interviews.

[Gunlord]

Man, I can't believe you remember that hero-kun. That was 6 years ago!

That said, I think the translator guy came back said he had indeed been released. He wasn't mad about it though, he admitted he did wrong cause he didn't know you're under an NDA when you do translation work like that. He said he wouldn't do it next time and was thankful for the lesson, since if he was on a more important project it might have been a lot worse.

Why is this site so slow? jesus.

So i tried the demo the other night. man, that was smooth. From what I understand, it's not based on the final game, and I hope not, since one of the big issues that i think they fixed up in say, that toymaker video, is the fact that the attacks from all 3 weapons are a bit too flashy, and con very often result in you getting hit because you couldn't see the attack indicator over the bright flashy flash.

other than that, really smooth and visually impressive. if games like this look the way they do at the end of the generation's lifespan, (also, compare Saint's Row 1 with Saint's Row 4) Imagine what games will look like at the end of the new generation? I mean some games already look pretty impressive visually. Imagine!

So, after hearing it, my thoughs about the soundtrack are:

(click to show/hide)

My favorite track is the "0.0 menu". I think is the main theme, and I have to confess that is very catchy for me . All the variations of it, including the Satan track, are really good... Also, the "Combate" tracks are very interesting. Apart for that track (or tracks), the rest are the same ambience music in his mayority, for me. They are not bad by any means, but it lacks that feeling that I like from Castlevania, before IGA and in his games. If only Araujo uses pipes organ in his tracks...

Let´s see and hear how that music fits in the middle of the game...
