Ok, not going to lie......

Wasn't happy with Lords of Shadow's music, gameplay or creativity (and lack thereof) and I'm terrified Mirror of Fate will just repeat the cycle....


...but that is some damn pretty artwork. Bravo.

Man. That artwork is gorgeous (if I don't get that cover, I'm going into Gamestop to BUY it.)  The artwork for MoF has been just wonderful.

And just look at Dracula. I'm loving that there's actually blood on his face, neck, and lion head belt piece. He just ooze badass villain and it's going to be an honor and a  privilege to kick his ass.

I have to admit, it's the one thing I'm absolutely loving about the Lords series so far: Dracula. Time will tell obviously with Mirror and Lords 2 but so far, I'm loving it. (Seriously, the fact that he's using Satan as decoration in his castle just speaks volumes for his kickassary.  )

Pretty much. Even I can say when they nail it. Gabriel looks fucking badass on that throne, holy shit.

Mirror of Fate graces the cover of the next issue of GI (as well as other games)

(click to show/hide)

I noticed two things about this cover

1. It's the first castlevania cover for a gameinformer.
2. It's the first handheld to get a cover from gameinformer as well.

I say this because I do not recall any cv covers or a handheld cover from a GI.

Also I hope I get this one . (I have seen the rest and this one is just vastly superior to any of them) if not time to go to gamestop and pray they have the los version I know my luck

Dracula! For shame! Use a napkin.

That is awesome cover art. (And now I'm randomly wondering if Alucard's presence has something to do with the titular Mirror of Fate.)

oblivium sempiternum daemonis indeed 


now.. am confused my fellow Dungeonites, hopefully one of yuo cool kats can explain this to me

Mirror of Fate will supposedly span several generations. LoS2 takes place directly after MoF. Cox said that LoS2 is the last game in the storyline. factor in the epilogue of LoS1, we are to assume that scene/era will also be the last chapter of LoS2. So will LoS2 span several generations as well, am just confused on the "timeline" of this universe o.o; so can you guys explain this to me better o.o;

[Kingshango]

Going by the story description for LOS2, it's most likely going to take place after the epilogue since that's the only time we see Dracula in a weakend state. But there may be occasional "flashbacks" throughout the game to fill in the gaps about happened over time that's not covered in Mirror of Fate.

Well that's what I think at least.

Yep this is it, it seems

[Munchy]

Sort of like the Paranormal Activity movies. It makes me curious as to what's going to be happening for the several hundred years between the Crusades era and the modern day era shown in the LoS epilogue, since it seems like MoF is mostly sandwiched a little after LoS1.

[Nagumo]

Going by that leaked chapter list (if it was real) LoS 2 mostly seems to take place during Medieval times. Only the last chapter takes place in the present time.

That artwork is fucking. Amazing.

Gabcula looks sinister as hell, SIMON FUCKIN BELMONT, Alucard, holy shit I hope this is the cover artwork for the box!

I can't find the right words to justify how freaking cool that artwork is, they need to release an artbook for the LOS series.

[Profbeanburrito]

That artwork is amazing! Hopefully LoS haters can see it looks like Castlevania, in fact, better than most CV artwork as of late. I really hope a demo gets released on the 3DS in a month or so, I'm itching to play it. I saw a 27 minute demo of it on YouTube and it looks fantastic. It looks exactly like what I've wanted in a "Metroid- Vania" game for some time.

Love the artwork...like how savage they made Gabriel look, with a touch of sophistication.

Guess I'll have to hit the newsstands again. Hopefully this one isn't too hard to find among the others.

I think the character designs(Trevor, Simon, Alucard, even the new look of Gabriel/Dracula) for MoF is more interestingly unique than most of the character designs in LoS. Though, for me, the art of MoF is not a problem. It's probably, IMO, it's greatest asset.

[Dark Nemesis]

I like that artwork, i wish there was a version to use as a wallpaper.
