Topic: Lords of shadow 2 is on it's way

[Munchy]

The DLC already covered that in a horribly written and produced way.

Really? I mean, he got whatever stupid powers TFO had, but does that mean he's going to kick puppies all of a sudden?

Wait a minute, I think I get it. Instead of a game ending polarizing the player as Mother Theresa or Hitler, we get to see Mother Theresa turn into Hitler for no real reason other than "it is her fate" or some shit. It's brilliant!

Since we're supposed to be sympathetic to his plight this time around, I wonder if they'll try to rip off MGS4 and claim Dracula "WAS TEH REEL HERO ALL ALONGZ" in spite of, you know, killing millions of people throughout the years. It's stupid... STUPID LIKE A FOXDIE

Its more along the lines that as he slowly becomes a vampire from having taken laura's blood, he gradually loses his humanity, and eventually, his humanity just fades altogether, leaving only well, his darkness. He sort of became a lord of shadow after all, in a different manner. Instead of ascending to heaven and leaving behind his dark side, he becomes a vampire and his humanity, his "good" just dies, leaving behind his anger, hate, and madness.

The Forgotten one seems to just be the final nail in the coffin, (pun not intended) rather, the final turning point of no return. When he just kills it despite it's pleas for mercy, and steals it's powers for himself, finally accepting what he has become, and leaving his former self behind with the symbolic act of destroying his Combat Cross, the weapon that ties him with his holy order and his fight for God. He basically shattered a Crucifix and tossed it away.

I think he mentions it in his narration, that he can feel his humanity ebbing away, and eventually his narrations just get kinda darker and he just outright starts calling himself the dragon and shit.

EDIT: The leak guy returned, he gave me a little tidbit on the whole poster. Do not click if you don't want to be spoiled.

The Wolf with golden eyes is stalking a pale red eyed Gabriel. The wolf could be Alucard now.

Hmm...that's kind of cool if it's true, but kind of bugs me at the same time.

If the wolf is just a wolf, and the main focus is Gabriel, then I hope that doesn't point to playing as Gabriel again, and possibly making the game "How I Became a Vampire II."

If the wolf is Alucard, well...daaamn. I'm still holding out hope to see a new protagonist Belmont vs. Gabriel.

Can't wait to hear more regardless.

Dear E3,
Please come soon. I'm starving for Castlevania announcement(s).
There needs to be TWO games announced: PS3/360/WiiU and 3DS (or Vita).

Also, here's a thought:
Capcom is putting a Resident Evil 6 demo in Dragon's Dogma. That should give DD more attention and help sales. What if Konami would be smart for once and put something, say, Metal Gear Solid related with a Castlevania release? That would make people who normally wouldn't buy a Castlevania game a reason to check it out. An exclusive playable demo of MGS5 could add hundreds of thousands more sales to just about any Konami game, don't you think? If MGS5 is even coming, that is.

I can't stand the wait either. It makes me kind off restless and unfocused! I really don't like the recent 3DS rumors that are popping up in this thread which makes it even worse. 

[Chernabogue]

Can someone source the rumors? Remember the Complete Chronicles thing, it was just a rumor.

[Nagumo]

There is no reason to believe they are true yet. I'm just being paranoid.

[Kingshango]

I just don't want to get killed if they aren't true, Im just posting only what I've heard and while the rumors sound good, they also sound too good to be true. So I, as well as many of you, should take them with bag of salt and remember "The complete Chronicles" fiasco.

I just can't wait for E3, it's 2 weeks away and the rumors are making the wait really unbearable and Cox's new Twitter pic and what the full image is rumored to be is NOT helping.

On the LoS Facebook page, they updated their cover photo to new artwork, a teaser of LoS2. Looks pretty cool. The link says "The Dragon Returns 5-31-12." Does that mean we'll get the official announcement that day?

[e105beta]

Hopefully we will. Maybe even a trailer.

I was super hyped when the LoS trailer went up.

[Koutei]

Exciting!!
