When did Cox say there wouldn't be any remixes?

It seems like a strange thing to do, considering LoS 1 had a few, and the reboot series itself seems to thrive on throwbacks from what LoS presented.

maybe he just doesn't want to get people's hype and expectations too high up and then to start on the "OMG HE SAID THERE WOULD BE REMIXES BUT THAT ONE CAVE TUNE IS NOT THERE 1/10 GAME SUX NOW". This way, if remixes DO pop up, it will be more of a surprise.

That said, I DO hope for more character themes. LoS really nailed Theme of Belmont, and it was an epic character theme as fart as Belmont themes go. Here's hoping even if they are not remixes, Trevor Simon and Alucard get some kind of themes.

Mirror of Fate will have an Original Soundtrack.

LoS2 will also have a Original Soundtrack but may have recurring themes of past games choreographed into the score.

People get so confused with this subseries that it is quite pathetic.

I recall in one of his many interviews Cox saying that there won't be any remixes, just original trax. so no Simon's Theme SRY GUYZ

but perhaps there will be a piece from Metal Gear track or some other random easter egg, just because

[Akuma]

I think people expect fanservice when the Lords of Shadow subseries(alt universe) is trying to do it's own thing.

And many just simply cannot take the hint.

I for one actually like the story and atmosphere as it's the dark fantasy like game I crave.

There just seems to be those who are completely repulsed that Castlevania dare to have an alternate take on events and remain conservative and stagnant.

[crisis]

I don't think anyone here's asking for 5 or more remixes. 1 or 2 tracks particularly Simon's Theme & another is what I consider fan-service. But MS is adamant on omitting EVERYTHING, yet they still wanna "borrow" stuff like name drops. Is a couple "classic" remixes really too much to ask? And when Cox is on record saying Lords of Shadow is essentially a "love letter" to the Castlevania brand, I'd expect to see fan service left and right, as opposed to MGS easter eggs & Monty Python references. But that's just me.

It's like your friend asking to stay in & use your apartment/house for the weekend (presumably luxurious for argument's sake), but telling you to remove all your pictures, posters, clothes, etc. just to replace it with his own stuff & to impress a girl. And he's gonna need your car, too. You'll probably say "yeah sure" because he's your friend but at the same time realizing that taking all your shit out isn't necessary at all.

I seem to remember Cox saying that at least MoF would have some remixes. I wouldn't necessarily miss not having any remixes, because most of those seem to just cover the Castlevania basics.

"Ooh! Can you play Bloody Tears?"

"I dunno... we get that request a lot, how about Forest of Monsters or-"

"BLOODY TEARS! VAMPIRE KILLER! FREE BIRD!"

If they do any remixes, I'd really like for them to go beyond the super obvious ones.

the hell am I looking at here.

I'm not sure, but I kind of hope those hunchbacks were at one point wearing a trench coat to look like a super tall guy.

That's because, he doesn't have a wolf form, but a werewolf form......and you know why? Because the last years, werewolves became a trend, on movies or books, so since they want more casual gamers to enter the series, they went that route.

[KaZudra]

not liking were-wolf, looks cool though...
isn't alucard supposed to have a sword?

[crisis]

He's supposed to have a sword, but this is Alucard Belmont we're dealing with here.

At around 2:20 the Daemon Lord says "Do you like being a creature of the night?" Sounds like Alucard wasn't born Alucard, but was recently transformed if you ask me. HMMM I WONDER WHO IT COULD BE...

[Kingshango]

Whoever it is must have signed a pretty big deal to get powers like that. Only way someone got powers like that is if they sold their soul or something.

We can rule out Simon since in the video released a few days earlier, Alucard was seen falling from a higher floor befor Simon got knocked out. So I think there can only be one person who could fit....

Most likely that person could have done that.
