Konami could definitely use some help where bringing Cv into 3D is concerned.

Man, I can't wait.

Imagine how cool it would be if in 13 days the Castlevania-logo appears on the site 

But I highly doubt it.

Oh it would be cool shelverton. Just saw the trailer myself this morning, and this guy reminds me alot of Simon. If 12 days goes by and CastleVania pops up, I think I might collapse. But, I wouldn't mind if this game give the ground work for the next 3D CV *cough 1999 cough*.

What are the chances that that was Simon?

Not very likely. Wasn't his name confirmed to be Gabriel? Anyway, it would be awesome if it really did turn out to be Simon.

yeah hes Gabriel... still hes gonna remain whatshisname Belmont to me *points at avatar*

[DragonSlayr81]

Actually, "Gabriel Belmont" has a nice ring to it!

Maybe they just want to make a new Castlevania WIHOUT Iga at the helm. Maybe they want to try a new direction with it and give someone else a chance to envision Castlevania, but they also realize that Iga won't give up the reins. If they take a chance and force out Iga, they would lose him permanently, and if the game doesn't pan out then Konami is left stranded.

Just a thought

The countdown on the website is up and they got a lil more info there now and a new countdown. The background story for the game makes it sound even more like a Castlevania thats not called Castlevania.

I think that the trailer shows a good bit of detail. The graphics for this game are going to be superb.
Has anyone looked at the wallpapers featured on the site?
If these are based on actual levels in the game, it looks like there will be at least 1 stage that occurs inside a castle.

lets hope it's the CV castle.

[shelverton.]

LOL!
The terrible cookie cutter storyline makes me think that it's all one big joke! Maybe in 55 days the Castlevania logo appears and the real plot is revealed. If not, this game better have awesome gameplay mechanics to make up for the generic storyline.

Or maybe it's a nod to the older Castlevania games where there were no story whatsoever to speak of..

I just watched the trailer, I don't know.  Regardless if it is or isn't a Castlevania title, I am getting it.  It looks amazing.

Would be very cool if it's tied into Castlevania though.

I just looked online:

"Lords of Shadow is due out in 2010"

2 more years?  I thought the site said 55 days?  Wouldn't that be near Christmas this year?  Or is the countdown for something else?
