Is this game called Mirror of Fate or Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate?

Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate.

Why is the lords of shadows added in?

I can see why people would think his attire was "green." At first glance it still looks like a dirty yellow to me, but those designers back then knew how to work with color theory. The right palletes of green make it look more like a dirty yellow. That was probably the intention.

Well, there's also the fact that the midtones of the outfit are closer to yellow's hue than green.

making Simon some sort of gruff shamanistic mountain man actually seems kinda interesting to me. back in the day konami gave him that "barbarian" look but it didn't really make sense given the supposed time period. i think playing off that and turning him into some belmont descendent who's gone off the grid is kinda clever.

LoSMoF DLC Rumor: The DLC chapter will be a prequel to the game where Simon Belmont goes to Japan to steal Bishamon's cuirass.

Most likely because they want to distinguish the MercurySteam CV games from the other ones that way.

The only reason I can guess at it is because it is in the lords of shadow universe. To tell the truth the title sounds lame with los make a title badass like Devil's Castle Dracula Apocalypse: The Legend of Cornell or Castlevania: Concerto of Midnight Sun those sound badass this Los:MoF sounds boring and makes me want to fall asleep.

It's funny to think of where they could go if they just kept going like that. One day we could end up with a game called Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate ~ God of Doom: Mask of Faith - King of Death ~ Shimmy of Wall: Cox of Dave - Ruler of Fortune ~ Power of Awesome. Only available on Nintendo's new handheld, 4DWiiX U La Woosh Bang.

yo then it seems that they want to separate LoS from the old canon, thats kewl

[shelverton.]

They probably wanna keep the "lords of shadow" name not only to distinguish it from the older games, but also for marketing purposes. LoS was a pretty big success for Konami and now they think that the name alone will sell games. I'm not 100% convinced though. It makes sense for the PS3/360, but on 3DS? It's a different market altogether. Many who'll play MoF probably never even have played LoS.

I agree those names are badass. Anywho the LoS added in sounds a little redundant.

That one got me not going to lie that one got me

I think they want to make something like MG:Rising imo. i mean if they make a sequel to that game they'd call it MG: Rising II : The Revenge of Bayonetta or something. That would be the best shit ever actually

Redundant is a better word than boring for describing the title.

I'll go on record saying Trevor's design is really cool to me. Perhaps because green is my favorite color, and because my own Belmont character for my game has also a green coat. Damn you MS, beating me to the punch!

For a tribute character design, MoF's Trevor is very reminiscent of the CoD design but with a good twist.

I'd say wordy. Not nearly along the lines of, say, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix or Final Fantasy XII International: Zodiac Job System, but I'd much rather they just call it Mirror of Fate.

Besides, it's not like there's a non-LoS Castlevania being made at the moment right?
