You know what I don't get? If they had the surprise "modern times" ending in LoS, then why cram Trevor and Simon so close together on the timeline? They could just as easily have made Trevor the grandson of Marie's child and Simon could have been Trevor's grandchild instead too.

Definitely the same guy, even says it's Alucard. Here he is:

Yea I agree its the same guy no doubt about it.


Now my my question is, when does the events of that LOS2 trailer take place?

Perhaps directly after Mirror of fate?

[Maedhros]

really?

crap!

I wana see it lol.

Does he look similar to the white haired guy in the LOS2 trailer?

Yup, he looked exactly the same. And IT IS Trevor, which confirms Trevor will "die" in the game and be reborn as Alucard.

Just found a pic for it here

Judging by the people who have seen the trailer, apparently Alucard made a comment about fate giving him a "second chance" and commenting on his "father".

Could Cox have lied about Trevor not becoming Alucard?

Because right now its seems so freaken likely.

Not necessarily. In the Gamespot interview, Cox said the fourth character would be for fan-service. It's posible this is just an alternate history possibility. ...But that would mean Alucard is a flashback in LoS2, or HECTOR!

I thought he said it would be a "Fan favorite"?

And alternate history?

That would not make since considering this Alucard appeared in the LOS2 trailer which means he is a part of the current history.

4th characters gonna be Grant

Definitely the same guy, even says it's Alucard. Here he is:

It's almost a freakin palletswap of Trevor with white hair. Either the artist got lazy or they are one in the same.

So my theory on Trevor dying and coming back by someone. But I wonder who in the Lords of Shadow universe could possibly bring the dead back?

Maybe some sort of necromancer or something?

Fan Favourite != Fan Service.

so after all of this info just out of curiosity whos still getting the game?


call me a sucker if you will but that still looked pretty awesome to me.

Was going to get it even with all this info just gushing in 

Edit The presentation is over now I thought it was pretty good overall

Zobek and his mask. Or, Zobek = Lost Soul. That's my theory

And maybe I misheard Cox on the fan favorite and fanservice thing. Sorry.

Not sure if I'm getting game. Definitely not a high priority yet, especially after all the new info/vids on the gameplay. And, I've never been a super-fan of Alucard, so that's not doing it for me. Not saying he's bad, but he's just not any more important to me than other characters.

PS: 3DS conference was about maybe 5% more info on things than the regular conference, but nothing major. Sad stuff.

[Kamirine]

If you have a 3DS, the trailer is up on the eShop. And Alucard says: "It seems fate has given me a second chance...father."

[beingthehero]

sure in the first weak but after that peace walker is now over 1.5 million while OoE is still less than 500k

Well yeah thanks to the MGS collection, but as an individual game it didn't do so hot. It didn't even break the 200,000 mark in the entirety of 2010, which actually baffles me because the game was excellent. Again, there's also the cost of developing the game, and OoE was certainly much more inexpensive. but that's all water under the bridge now.

so after all of this info just out of curiosity whos still getting the game?


call me a sucker if you will but that still looked pretty awesome to me.

I am, I just need to get a 3DS first. But this is the deal-maker for me. 

[Dominus]

THERE IS A FUCKING WAY THE FORUM DOESNT STOP ME FROM REPLYING WITH A FUCKING WARNING THAT SOMEONE POSTED!!!!!?

In general, yes. CoTM is a million seller though.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon

Release date(s)

So yeah, you get the point

OoE outsold Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Dominus-kun. OoE sold nearly 300,000 units, while Peace Walker sold 52,000 units. HoDespair sold well enough that Konami ported it to the PS3 as well. The only commercial flop was Judgment, which sold like 15 copies.

Not flops but they only have been, well, like average, or better said, average for a BIG franchise like CV

[beingthehero]

Well, in your defense i think CoD also sold poorly on both the PS2 and Xbox as well.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

If you have a 3DS, the trailer is up on the eShop. And Alucard says: "It seems fate has given me a second chance...father."

see!

How does this not confirm he is trevor?

Especially after Trevor's apparent "failure" with him never returning after his battle with his father.

I wonder how Cox is going to spin this after saying outright that Trevor is not Alucard.
