Topic: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate 3DS (Discussion Thread)

I actually understand Cecil Kain's reaction given how LoS1 was inspired by SCIV apperently. But not so long ago, Cox defended this by saying that doesn't mean LoS is a straight up copy of that game. So we shouldn't expect that here either.

I think the game is looking better and better. I don't see this "slideshow" framerate people are talking about. Maybe I'm blind as a bat.

I am gonna buy this game day 1, and this is coming from someone who didn't even like LoS that much. I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a new handheld Castlevania, and lord knows I loved the majority of IGA's games.

Love is da new hate!

Am i the only one who noticed Alvarez said Konami allow them to continue with the "TRYLOGY" and a middle chapter for the 3DS?
Trylogy+Middle chapter? Does that mean it will be a LOS3 in the future?

No, MoF can be considered the sequel to LoS. They're considering LoS2 the real sequel though because it continues the focus on Gabriel. MoF will focus solely on the Belmonts, so it's more of an inbetween game. That's your trilogy.

No, Cox said there will be no more stories in the LoSverse after MoF and LoS2.

At least their bringing hearts back right?

Yeah, it seems so. I remember reading about it somewhere, let me do a fast rewind and see if I can find the source.

With stuff like this it is really interesting how the development will turn out.

I thought he said MercurySteam wouldn't be doing anymore stories in the LoSverse.

1:19:00 in the video.

If that doesn't work, use this:

Wait for the stream controls to load, then go to the designated time.

I'm watching it now and I think this game looks absolutely fantastic.

Got Nintendo Power in the mail...finally. Anyway, while there were a good amount of positives, one thing stood out to me from NP's playthrough. Regarding the combat system: "...occasionally felt drawn out, but we're hopeful that Konami will refine the pacing in the final product."

That's been an issue since LoS.

Regarding the hearts, it's great that they're back and all, but it's just a surface change. Will the fundamental improvements be there--that remains to be seen. There has been evidence for both sides.
