Yea I know Batman would be like "I am not Bruce Wayne I am the BATMAN".

Hell he has done it countless times lol.

But from a "logical" standpoint is that true?

That simply because he putts that suit on he is no longer the person he is under it?

Batman is only the "alter ego" of Bruce Wayne which means that he is still him underneath it all.

This is actually a huge philosophical debate on what defines the "self", and its a debate in which I'm not sure it's possible to come to a conclusion.

Someone should tell Cox and ms on his twitter. This is not acceptable. 

This reminds me of the time the reviewers were bitching about the framerate stutter on enemy executions, and when I asked Cox about it he was all "it's fixed in the final version" and low and behold it was.

This is a demo for a game coming out in 5 or 6 months. I'm not worried.

Bruce Wayne and Batman exist simultaneously, each being an alter-ego of the other.

Alucard and Trevor do not appear to exist simultaneously as alter-egos, and if Trevor died and ended his life as a human named "Trevor" and came back in a different existence, he *could* be considered a different being.

[Foffy]

Did anyone see the Nintendo event? I missed the bit, but Cox outright said Alucard was in Mirror of Fate.

Alucard and Trevor do not appear to exist simultaneously as alter-egos, and if Trevor died and came back as something inhuman, he could be considered a different being.

*sigh*

No because underneath it all he is STILL Trevor, doesn't matter if he came back as something inhuman he is still Trevor underneath that vampiric transformation.

And I thought you had agreed to disagree and walked away?

[Super Waffle]

Wait.  They're actually calling it Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate?

Why don't they just call it the Cox Saga?

[crisis]

I'm fucking confused.

I think it would be better if Gabe/Dracula impregnates an LoS version of Lisa, produces Alucard, etc. I don't like all this "lets fuse different characters" stuff.

I had another glass of wine. Now I'm walking away.

Except LoS is known to have lots of frame stutters on the final game. People sensitivity to these things varies, though.

Even though the final game CAN be fixed, the problem would be the hardware being not powerfull to render multiple enemies.

quick question before you "walk away".

Would you say that Gabriel is no longer Gabriel anymore after giving up his humanity and becoming Dracula?

[Flame]

Just gonna jump in on this:

Batman Is not Bruce Wayne. He WAS Bruce Wayne.

The young boy known as Bruce Wayne died the night his parents were murdered, and Batman was born in his place. It was just a matter of time until he was ready to step out into the night.

Bruce Wayne is just Batman's mask.

I am just so excited right now that I do not want to hear anything negative. My head is in the clouds right now all what I want now is that nintendo power magazine but the stupid site is not selling it right now 

But again MS might have fixed the freezing or stuttering on the final version, but framerate was still everywhere sometimes it was just so slow at certain points especially on the 360. So yeah I am cautious somewhat.

Check the last few pages. He also showed an extended version of the debut trailer that featured a voice clip and artwork piece of Alucard. I can't find it on the web, but it is on the 3DS' eshop.

I liked his presentation, it was very well-spoken. Unlike another guy there...

Im gonna dust off my Twitter account and ask him.

Fair point. I'd need to see the framerate for myself.

On a similar, but funnier note, I remember someone telling me LoS had framerate issues at the end of every combo.

[flyingchai]

quick question before you "walk away".

Dammit, I was almost out the door already.

Would you say that Gabriel is no longer Gabriel anymore after giving up his humanity and becoming Dracula?

I would say that Gabriel stopped being the same person after becoming a vampire...only because he's no longer a person at all.
He used to be a man named Gabriel Belmont. Now he's a vampire who calls himself Dracul.

Batman Is not Bruce Wayne. He WAS Bruce Wayne.

I'll have another drink just for you, Flame.
