I remember MS saying a while back that they were working on two projects. I had a feeling that only one of them was Castlevania related, but in light of this news, maybe both of them really are?? Not to mention a portable title would finally get me to take the plunge on a 3DS, so that could be good...

Although LoS wasn't my ideal Castlevania game by any means, I still enjoyed playing it. Looking forward to E3 with very cautious optimism (despite it being Konami and all).

And I have to admit, I'm still really curious to see where they take this whole storyline.

ditto.

I'm thinkin' the storyline plays out like the castlevania of old...we play as belmonts ( or an Alucard of types) and we try to take down Dracula who is the devils pawn. The extra scene ending in LOS is meant to be like one of the last entries ( just in case it wasn't a hit..to show where they would take it)...I think it's safe to assume in the later games, you control dracula and try to take on the devil and end your curse. To me is a better ending than this 1999 eclipse dealioz..

At least to me...Dracula was always a tragic character and they are really driving home the tragic nature of it in this storyline imo..( symphony of the night did it well though)

Likewise. That's probably the majority reason why I'm so excited for E3 despite being disappointed by LoS. I guess it's blind faith in a way.

I'm still not fully sold on Dracula's character. He's just someone who has terrible luck and "never had a choice." At least they explained where he obtains his powers from.

Like I said, two CV games being announced would be a helluva start for Konami to make up for their rotten 25th anniversary. At the very LEAST!

And while I didn't care for the setting(among other things) of LoS, I am keeping an open mind to where they plan on going. Like I said, I'd love for MS to tackle a more gothic, Victorian set CV title.

To whoever said a few pages back that I'm just a "LoS hater,"

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Sit down, son.


Mirror of Fate is a better name than Mirror of Faith or whatever. Perhaps Gabriel will try to change his fate, in turn creating a good mirror-version which names himself Trevor lol. Gameplay wise lets hope they don't fuck up, since this IS MercurySteam's first shot at a handheld and they may very well just be winging it.

That's my biggest concern too. I think they are great with level design but we don't know how they would do a sidescrolling adventure. I hope for the best...

Sumac, quit trolling. It's helping nothing and gets old.

Well the Combat Cross was destroyed. There might not even be a whip anymore.

Rinaldo Gandolfi is still out there though. Some of the Brotherhood knights have seen him, with the disguise of an old beggar. he could make another one.

Im certain that Gabriel breaking the Combat Cross will somehow be plot relevant. Not only because Belmonts will need a new whip, but I feel that it means something more... or rather, will, mean something more. probably as a way to bring Rinaldo into the story from the background he's hiding in.

Crisis? Sumac? could you two please just... shut up with the flamebait and argument? you are ruining the peaceful atmosphere that took Jorge admining it up to come about.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

Oh man, I can't wait for the music to be even shorter and more repetitive because of limited cartridge space!

...But seriously, this could be cool. I'm wondering how much of it will actually correspond to the rumors. (Also, would LoS combos work well at all in a 2D space? I'd think they'd be kinda overpowered.)

He left it in pieces in the realm where the Forgotten One was. Maybe we'll go back there as Alucard to retrieve it or something.

Theorizing is fun.

OK, OK. I honestly believe now, that you're big fan of the LOS...you masterfully hide it.

lol, of course it was Sumac who said it, my biggest fan

I don't need to prove nothing to you otherwise. Check the massive LoS thread and you'll see how much I supported the game/contributed to the conversation, instead of blindly praising it like some do. But hey, I also criticized it's faults, too, because like others, I also feel it's highly derivative of everything but Castlevania. So get off my dick already  :rollseyes: :rollseyes: :rollseyes:


I wonder if MoF will have a special edition package?

I'd say rayman is pretty faithful across the board. The vita version in particular looks beautiful as can be.
Rayman looks like shit on the 3DS. I don't know why, just play the demo and compare it to ANY version out there. It fucking sucks. =/
