A text file from the game data reveals Victor was called Julius during development.

A text file from the game data reveals Victor was called Julius during development.

I remember Dave in an interview (can't recall which one) said that Victor was going to be Julius, but then they remembered that it was IGA's creation and that they wanted to respect him and his universe, so they changed it to Victor.

[Nagumo]

Leak guy said IGA requested them to change is. Doesn't exactly line up with what Cox said, but it would make sense he wouldn't mention that juicy detail.

who is this "leak guy" lol

[Ahasverus]

This surprises no one.  I called it since his reveal. That speaks volumes of the troubles of this game, they started with Julius, sometime last year they rewrote him as Victor and included Sonia, then deleted Sonia and killed off Victor, that in 1 year.

Sonia Belmont would have been really cool to see.

I'm not mad about Julius, would have been lame to see them kill him off instead. Seriously, Victor's death is still the dumbest part of the entire story.

[Dominus]

I still have some faith that concept art of Sonia will leak.

And thank goodness he was rewritten into being named Victor. To die in 30 secs would have been disrespectful indeed to Julius character. Thank you iga

i dont knwo why i like this track so much, but i feel it accurately represents the grandiosity of not just the castle but the entire castlevania series itself

Interesting. Any other interesting things in the files for the PC version, be it the original ending for the game or something pointing to a final boss fight with Satan himself? Unused text or unused <insert object here>? Does it mention anything about Victor's backstory? (which was said by Cox to parallel Gabriel's in that one interview on RelyonHorror)

[Ahasverus]

LoS2 OST is so good. Top 5 of the series for me.

(click to show/hide)

1- Belmont's Revenge
2- Symphony
3- Curse of Darkness
4- Castlevania 3
5- LoS2

It's funny. When I first heard that, I instantly thought of the classic games. I thought of the Marble Gallery in Symphony of the Night, the Chapel in Circle of the Moon, Chapel of Dissonance in Harmony of Dissonance. It's actually does a good job of bringing out the grandeur of Dracula's castle.
