I love Demons/Dark Souls. It reminds me of CV a lot more than LoS actually, specially the monsters and how the story is very simple. The difficult is fair too, just like the first Castlevania.

Yeah but the Demon/Dark Souls games have like no music whatsover so that won't do for CV.  Castlevania games need to have an awesome soundtrack. I can agree that the gameplay is much closer to CV than LoS is.

This song, however, is AWESOME. There's something almost Castlevaniaish beginning at 0:53. Or maybe not. But still:

The OST isn't like Castlevania, but it's good for the game, like LoS. I don't like to listen the music outside the game though... just like LoS.

I wouldn't mind the next Castlevania OST being like that. Nice balance of melody and orchestral mood.

That made me laugh. Thanks.


Really? I got -2 for saying that the pic Jorge posted made me laugh? No, the "Respect" point system isn't broken at all.

You just got +2 for complaining about it.
There's balance in nature.

Doesn't make it right. Besides, liking videos on Youtube serves a purpose.

Oh well, it's not going away.
For every one guy who hates it, there are nine who like it.
It was suggested by enough people.

We're veering off topic.  Let's get back to talking about the games, please.

I can't wait either. I kind of wish this info wasn't leaked though. Imagine how awesome of a surprise it would have been at E3.

Is anyone else concerned about the camera/mirror thing being just another tacky gimmick?  I still loathe DoS's Magic Seals...

I thought the same thing when I first read about that.

Definitely.

For one, if IGA's really involved, I don't really want him pulling his "Ohoho, the game has a mirror gimmick, so the new main character is going to be Mirror Belmont who fights with his mirror image, Mirrorcard" I mean really, adapt the gimmick to fit the world, not the other way around.

For two, I don't see how camera's and Castlevania go together at all.
