I hope the game is difficult as fuck.

I'm down for this provided it's more than just enemies hitting way harder. And them taking roughly a billion whip lashes before dying.

Well, in the new game Zobek will walk in and a fireball will hit him in the face and after a bit he'll reveal he's a skeleton. He'll then turn to the camera and wink.

Zobek asks help to Gabriel in the ending of LoS, but Gabriel asks him where he has been all this time. It certainely means Zobek wasn't an ally of Drac.

I noticed something weird...when I did a google search for "new castlevania image," (searching results within last 24 hours only) the bottom of the page said:

In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects.org.

Not completely sure what this means. Could this possibly lend some weight to the claim that the images really were leaked and Konami had them pulled??

EDIT: Eh, nevermind. Here's what the top several lines say if you click on the complaint notice:

Notice Unavailable
DMCA (Copyright) Complaint to Google

Sent by: Microsoft
To: Google

The cease-and-desist or legal threat you requested is not yet available.

Chilling Effects will post the notice after we process it.


So if it was Microsoft and not Konami that filed the complaint, I guess this is irrelevant.  :-\

Wow, 67 pages just for a rumor? impressive.I've chose  a good time to return to the dungeon  ;D
Anyway, my hopes are for a game fitted on the old timeline, i don't bother if it's IGA or Cox in charge.

They're redirecting anything on the CastleVania-MirrorOfFate.net domain (194.6.194.67) through to alex-shepherd.com (78.46.2.147)

The initial HTTP hit is a 302 (Found) and the alex-shepherd.com reports the 403 Forbidden.

The CastleVania-MirrorOfFate.net domain was registered on 20 Feb 2012, and interestingly it was registered via Konami Europe headquarters in Frankfurt (and good old Christian Pfeffer, who I remembered e-mailed me at the end of the online Gradius V competition) as opposed to being registered by someone in Japan.

Bizarrely, SSL (port 443 as opposed to HTTP 80) https://CastleVania-MirrorOfFate.net redirects to one http://www.konami-pes2013.com/

Alright, I'm going to try and ask IGA if he is going to E3 this year. If he's not going then it's probably Mercury Steam who is developing this game.

Something here . . . Lords of Shadow 2 domain names redirect to the same www.alex-shepherd.com.  I think this inextricably ties Lords of Shadow 2 to Mirror of Fate in terms of each games' existence.  castlevania-lordsofshadow2.com was registered on the same day by Christian (20 Feb 2012).  It appears he was given a list of domain names and proceeded to register them all.

A search on Name Droppers (http://www.namedroppers.org) reveals the following 'CastleVania-' domain names:

castlevania-lordsofshadow.com (REDIRECT to http://www.konami-castlevania.com/)
castlevania-lordsofshadow.net (REDIRECT to http://www.konami-castlevania.com/)
konami-castlevania-lordsofshadow.com (403 alex-shepherd)
konami-castlevania-lordsofshadow.net (403 alex-shepherd)
castlevania-lordsofshadow2.com (403 alex-shepherd)
castlevania-lordsofshadow2.net (403 alex-shepherd)
konami-castlevania-lordsofshadow2.com (403 alex-shepherd)
konami-castlevania-lordsofshadow2.net (403 alex-shepherd)
castlevania-mirroroffate.com   (403 alex-shepherd)
castlevania-mirroroffate.net   (403 alex-shepherd)

HTTPS all to the PES2013 site.

Also showing up is:

castlevania-themovie.com [German, registered by one Mischa Waschke, but I don't think she's with or affiliated with KONAMI]

According to games like HoD it seems like Death really cares about Dracula.

I am now imagining some picture of Dracula sitting somewhere with Death next to him blushing like an anime school girl.

Well, in the new game Zobek will walk in and a fireball will hit him in the face and after a bit he'll reveal he's a skeleton. He'll then turn to the camera and wink.

How can a skeleton wink?  ;D

Yeah they never really explain WHY Death is bound to some magical macguffin like the crimson stone, but most other CV games seem to count Death as Dracula's confidante and friend. His ONLY friend.

If I recall, it's more based around the concept of Japanese death Gods that the idea arose that he isnt the grim reaper, but just "a" Death God. Or just some powerful necromancer much like Zobek.
of course I dont think the games themselves ever really went there.

I actually find it interesting that they can be friends, given how their connection works. Im guessing that simply after so long a time of being together they simply bonded. But now, if someone else theoretically acquired the stone, would that mean Death would betray and abandon Dracula?

How can a skeleton wink?  ;D
Maybe he has flaming balls that can shapeshift for expressions in his eye sockets? :-X
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

You are now reading this in Robert Belgrade's voice.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.

If Konami already registered something with "lordsofshadow2" in it, does that mean that the game will be called that? I always thought that it would have a unique subtitle. I'm actually a liiiiittle disappointed here. What's next? LoS 3, 4, 5 and 6?

Well well. Time will tell.

I think all of those domains registered there link to this "alex shepherd" if no website has been made yet. Most likely that guy is the owner or something of that domain registering website.
