Grant = the WORST of FRAUD's artwork.

[paletteswapmonster]

Grant looks...special. His design doesn't really bother me too much.

Sypha looks pretty good.

Cornell's design is hands down the best. He looks badass.

[Reinhart77]

Cornell takes the cake.

[belmontsrock]

Holy shit!! They look all right despite the new designs, I can't wait for this game it's going to Rock!!

New IGN videos.

There's the preview to add to it. They seem pleased about it. I regonize some tunes like Tower of Dolls and also a Elemental Tactician from Lament of Innocence on the videos.

It also seems that Simon has some business with Trevor.

[Xain]

Awesome, looks like they arranged Mad Forest..its in the simon vs. sypha vid on ign.

Well Grant looks ridiculous....although the bandaged face is not too bad. Sypha looks awesome. I need to see Cornell in action first before i can say anything....but he seems interesting to say the least.

lol! it seems that Aeon as access to other dimensions as well...re-coned dimensions. Shame...if they put Cornell in they should have put in Sonia. (Although i am aware it is easier to reclassify Cornell as random werewolf guy than it is to make sense of Sonia)

[Oralox]

Just a theory

Maybe it was the time paradox that made them change their looks?

It seems that IGA actually respects CV64, LoD and CotM MORE than Legends. From what I recall, IGA seemed to say something to the extent that CV64, LoD and CotM STILL exist, but in alternate dimensions, but Legends doesn't even exist ant all in any canon(or so I recall).

[Omegasigma]

well an alternate timeline dimesion would fix the lack of timeslots for new castlevania titles, and might possibly mean judgement would fit into its own alternate timeframe or indeed does have a timeslot

Then Shymphony and Curse of Darkness should be in an alternative dimension too =/

In fact, all CastleVanias with Ayami's Designs should be in alternative dimensions.

And Portrait of Ruin, and Dawn of Sorrow, and...

Oh my god! All CastleVanias post-Rondo of Blood are not canon!

Grant, Sypha and Cornell's profiles

Grant Danasty used to live as a noble thief (much like Robin Hood) all the while aspiring to become a vampire hunter like Trevor. As the most agile man in Transylvania, Grant Danasty joined forces with Trevor to defeat Dracula. Since overpowering Dracula, Grant Danasty has become a true champion of good, devoting his time to restoring the town to the days before Dracula's rule.

Cornell, a proud werewolf whose martial arts are said to be invincible, has come to rescue his younger sister Ada, who was kidnapped and taken to Dracula's castle. With the blood of beast-men in his veins, in Castlevania Judgment, Cornell is transformed into a wolf and unable to change back.

Sypha is a tough, strong-willed witch who uses fire, lightning and ice magic. Affiliated with the church, Sypha hides her true nature by wearing priestly clothes. While Sypha has not yet met Trevor, fate has determined that they will defeat Dracula together and then marry.

[Bizarro Belmont]

I really like the last four designs, the goofus at least seemed to pull it together for these ones. I'd love to see the official artworks.

Trevor looks like a big gruff belmont reminescent of the olden days.
Grant kind alooks like L, so I can get a good laugh at his silly design.
Sypha looks very nice, closer to her original design then any of the other characters.
Cornell just looks awesome.

[shelverton.]

The crappy camera and the lack of lock-on is gonna ruin this game for me. Other than that, it looks alright. I hope there are many bosses and NPCs you have to fight in the single player story mode, cause 14 fighters is not a whole lot.

[Kale]

14 is quite a bit actually... given that they are all fun to play.
