Topic: I knew it! Castlevania: Lords of Shadow!(SPOILERS HERE, PLZ USE THE SPOILER TAG)

[DingusBelmondo]

It wouldn't matter, we still bought games that didn't have Dracula in them

well i believe dracula is at least mentioned in every castlevania... wait. He's in every castlevania too. Right?

In some form or another..

[CastleDan]

I tweeted him again asking if they will be posting stuff soon.

@danorganplayer I think stuff should hit tomorrow

[Nagumo]

BTW chances are we aren't gonna have Dracula confirmed until the game actually comes out. Because Cox always responds to that question with "if we told somethings it would ruin the game experience". So don't let that determine if you get the game.

I wonder why he is so mysterious about it. Unless they pull something like the game's protagonist is actually Dracula. It isn't such a bad idea actually but it already has been done before with Soma.                 

[Gunlord]

Maybe, Nagumo, but I dunno...I have a really hard time believe Gabriel would end up being Dracula. Turning a Belmont into the series' main antagonist would be a *major* change to the Castlevania formula, and even though this is a reboot I don't think MercurySteam would go *that* far. Would they?

[Nagumo]

Yeah, I rather not have Dracula at all. It's time for a new major villian.

The game looks really detailed! I LOOOOVE the first screenshot. I can also totally see why Cox was mentioning Prince of Persia as a competitor. The PoP similarities may be good or bad depending on what you really want from a CV, but one thing's for sure; No more flat hallway after hallway or duplicated empty square rooms. The castle will probably feel like a real castle this time, not a gigantic 1 storey catacomb  

However; A PoP-ish game with a fixed camera?  I guess they know what they're doing...

Did you use a translator for this? You sound like Yoda, lol! Which is a good thing by the way 
Anyway, thanks for the info! 50 chapters across 15 hours? SOunds like each chapter is really short, but that's good in my opinion. The script must be kinda massive!

Translator. The only sites reporting this are foreign so far.

One site mentioned a SKELETON RIDER WITH A FLAMING HEAD.

Which sounds pretty sweet.

[Kingshango]

50 Chapters in a 15 hour game? Then each chapter must be hella short then, I hope we see some footage soon rather than later.

And the screens from the link look great and I notice quite a few well placed candles in the castle areas, gee I wonder if you can whip them?

[Nox_A15]

We should probably think about those "chapters" as different areas in the game's world. I'm pretty sure it's not related to plot.

[The Silverlord]

From that German site, loosely translated:

"Yesterday Konami showed us a teaser trailer for the upcoming Castlevania Lords of the Shadow, which regrettably was not released to the public."

"What could be seen in the video was very impressive: perceived 60fps and well staged fights, with the Combat Cross very reminiscent of Kratos' blades chaos ... "epic battles" against Titans (and here the game just reminded even more of God of War) where you have to jump in trained Castlevania style by jump and swing to the right places."

"The game should end the year to appear.  The impression which we received yesterday from the video makes you want more."

Pics are great . . . bags of atmosphere!  Chapters makes me think of stages (and I think that would be bloody fantastic actually), but it probably will be trek here to this area (Chapter I), back again to this (Chapter II), etc. ala DMC / Bayonetta.
