I predict Character no. 4 will be Richter. I have a Reason for so.
All the characters will be Descendants of Dracula/Belmont
The Belmonts chosen for MoF are indeed from the Greatest Five.
with Trevor and Simon out, Alucard counting as Juste...
That Leaves with Leon and Richter, and Logically Gabriel Replaced Leon in the timeline..
This only Leaves Richter, and since Richter is Very Popular, it would also make sense to put suspense on him.

Bloodlines did the same thing.

I just beat that during my in school last week during finals. It was incredible  the vibe it sent with Simon's theme is what both of these new games need, I assume that like how bloodlines had Simon's theme before you fought Dracula would be Belmont's theme for the next two.

I hope MS don't get blinded by the awards and could see their faults, I mean, some peopl liked it, some not, and just as certain as it is to knw that IGN and Gi will like the game, we have gamesblogXXXXX who may not like it, or even hate it, damaging their precious metacritic score. There are issues, they have to fix them. You're still in time Mercury! (Please tweet Cox AND Alvarez)

Yeah it has to be know they have to step it up or games like CODE OF PRINCESS(this look really good in my opinion) might overtake it like I said a big battle awaits to see if cv has the ability to stand alongside mario and zelda again. As for IGN I do not trust them or destructroid, I do not let reviews make my descion, but the reviews will either make or break the sales of the game and with nintendo behind mercurysteam  something bad will happen if they screw up at least that is how I feel.

You gotta be kidding me... 

if they're studying the classics like they say they are, i'd hope they get at least that part right, right?

although "getting it right" may not matter to some people

belmont overload 

[GuyStarwind]

A Belmont overload would color me happy.

[Neobelmont]

A Belmont overload would color me happy.

But a Belmont sausagefest would color me not happy 

At least one girl is that too hard to ask MS?

Shanoa Belmont.

Believe.

If she is married to Simon then I will believe

Still have to work on the bad stuff MS, but again overall MoF is mostly positive news.

The castle keep is much higher.

OK forgive the rant here, but what is with another Van Helsing movie-style castle? Just a few random towers all connected with big chains? I'm not a fan of that design. Carmilla's castle in LoS was the same way. I loved the scale of the place, but not the structure itself. Looks like we hvae another one here. I know, I know, the castle is a creature of chaos and changes form every time but still...

It's only a creature of chaos in the origina canon. In this one, it literally IS Carmilla's castle(well, orignally it was the Bernhard Castle, a reference to LoI). After LoS, Dracula has taken up residence there.

I get that...but I guess I was hoping in the time since LoS he/they/it would've changed the castle somewhat. I just don't particularly like the layout of it...just my opinion. And I cannot help but make the Van Helsing comparison, it's just too damn similar.

[CastleDan]

man so awesome. I kinda like his design, not as much as symphony but it's an interesting take.

[derision]

You are wrong. There was a lore scroll that confirmed that the LoS castle behaves in a similar way.

[GuyStarwind]

Alright fine at least one girl.

[Munchy]

I really hope Belmont 3 is Christopher. Richter's cool and all but he's been in, what, five games already? (I suppose you can argue against Simon this way, but c'mon, he's the original.)

Though Sonia or another original Belmont would be neato as well.

Sypha would also be cool, and it'd further drive home A) Dracula's Curse influence, and B) having more than just whips and one sword guy to work with. Trevor does admonish her not to try to find him... I imagine there's not much left for her to do than completely ignore his directions and follow him. (Anyone noticed that he tells her to go to the forest? Where a Cyclops might decide to stick her in a statue? lol)

I guess the one problem with the last scenario is that Grant would once again be thrown under the bus. Poor Grant. Nobody likes him.
