Ehm, no? Trevor is not a vampire, and Simon is centuries later than Trevor. That's what I got from the artice O.o

I think Alucard is what the article refers as "The Lost Soul" and the final twist will be: Ha-ha, you havve been me ALL THIS TIME"

 

Yeah you're right it is centuries later. I also agree about the lost soul part. First thing I thought when I read it.

Trevor was born before the events of LOS, so I dont see him becoming Alucard. Besides were also missing the big picture here:

Gabriel had a son he didn't know about, which means Gabriel was probably fooling around behind Marie's back.



Or after he killed her.

Maybe he was injured, put into a comatose stasis for an undisclosed period of time, and a couple of clones were made of him..

Some girl had to comfort him right.

Im actually growing on the LoS reboot, now that Trevor and Simon are confirmed, one can assume this will be the first battle with Dracula in this continuity, unless they pull a dick move and make death the final boss, LoI >.> i'd rather face Drac at the final of the game, and see how well he's done, I want game now >.<

also about the unknown son, what deeds did Zobek force Gabe to perform while under his influence? he had no memories of his actions

[Ahasverus]

Remember that Gabriel was not with Marie when he killed her, it was similar to Mathias in that when he went to see her after returning she was dead (she was not, he killed her but that's what he thought) so Trevor was born when he was out in battle and marie, well, didn't have time to tell him (perhaps)

[Maedhros]

Hopefully, Gabula won't just throw fireballs at us. Some shit like the metroidvania titles battles (except SoTN) would be better.

[Thomas Belmont]

Awesome! I'm so excited. Thanks a lot, soma555, for posting the images. And it's good to hear that Robert Carlyle is returning.

The only thing we know for sure is that Trevor is Gabe's son.



And I for one would prefer Trevor =/= Alucard, but then again Gabriel Belmont = Dracul(a). Wierder things and all that jazz.

Oh, and the way the article is written there's no telling the gender of the other two characters, but it does seem to hint that all 4 are from different times and are not necessarily in direct communication, but rather all have contact with the titular mirror.

[Ahasverus]

I will say it now.
I'm not digging Simon :/
Still, nice to have him back, and I hope they give them both interesting personalities

The descriptions of the gameplay, stage that NP played through, and the overall layout of the game... is exactly what everyone has been clamoring for. I honestly think Mercurysteam listens to us, then finds a way to make these ideas more accessable to broader audiences as well. Seriously.

Well, it was a given that THIS game was going to be different, but the true test is if LoS2 carries on with these themes. That will be the true proof if MS listened.

I do love Trevor's design, though. He does seem a mesh of Kojima's Trevor and Alucard. Hell, I'd go on to say, he looks like he'd fit into the classic canon FLAWLESSLY based on his design(it's that good). Simon is interesting, all just leave it with that. I think the only thing I don't care for his that big face waistband/belt. Overall, he looks pretty badass too. 

[Reinhart77]

i think this is what happened:

- Gabriel and Marie conceive a child
- Gabriel gets sent on a mission that lasts, um, more than 9 months
- The Order looks at one of their prophesies and go, oh dear, this Gabriel guy is trouble.  We'd better take Marie's child and not tell Gabriel about him.  Especially, cause, he's prophesied to save us from him and stuff.  They explain everything to Marie.
- Gabriel comes home and they happily reunite.  Gabe then kills Marie while wearing the Mask (wonder if when he was possessed by the mask he knew the trouble his offspring would give him, so he decides to kill Marie to be sure that he's never troubled by it?), but she's okay with it.  The order might have even sent her on a mission to speak with the founders of the order, and she had to be dead in order to do that anyways.  Marie probably knows Gabe will be bad, but also knows that once he goes through a 1000 year "rough patch", that he'll save the day again as God's champion.

Hey I would LOVE for Alucard to stay as his own seperate character as well.

I honestly do not like the idea of a Belmont once again becoming something "dark" and "vampiric".

Alucard and Trevor should really stay separate if you ask me.

But as you said, given Cox's "track record" so to speak, something like Trevor becoming Alucard is definitely in the cards.

Look at the whole Belmont=Dracula thing.

[Ahasverus]

^Reinhart: Yep, that's what happened in my mind too

Fun fact: They actually animated a long hair for Trevor. no ponytails, no hair in the coat, full flowing long hair :love:

In the article it says there personalities reflect their upbringing. Trevor is described as calm and collective much like his father. Simon on the otherhand is described as a headstrong blood knight who fights first and ask questions later.
