I just want to thank everyone for hunting down the vids and posting. I'm getting excited again for a CV.. it's been awhile. Everything is just fucking awesome, except the horse dealio, I agree..

Having a horse that talks might seem hokey, but it's obviously some sort of magical horse so I'll let it slide.

SotN has a talking sword. I'm not too worried about a magical talking horse.

I don't know about the other person, but for me, it's the game play on the horse that worries me. It just seems boring. It seems very typical of horse gameplay where you have an extremely limited amount of attacks for a distance on the horse... its a meh thing, that severely needs to be changed.

Just be glad you on that horse once. Unless it shoots out of the ground like Ruin from Darksiders.

Has there been any mention of Familiars making an appearance? I don't think so.. but the pixies in that promotional art from waaay back looked like they could be Familiars.

its great to see the duo Carmilla and Laura finally back together and in a grand way.  I wonder if Cornell ever becomes your ally.

I take it back, the talking horse idea is done ok, but the gameplay on the horse is kind of.. hokey and linear, its like the pegasus in GoW, but not as good. If they are going to bite off that, then do it just as good, or better.

The Gabriel fighting looks great, and I like how the whip can be seen as it goes through an enemy, but I dont like the whoosh of the whip..it looks plain or just like a white blur. Again,  do it as good as the blades in GoW or the cross in Dantes Inferno. Those at least LOOKED like you were weilding something truly magical and otherworldy, that could fuck shit up..

Off-topic, but other E3 stuff I was pumped about seeing so far:

Konami's taking down Youtube uploads of the trailer, so chances are it's the one that was meant to premier tomorrow. Oh well.

This vid, that someone posted, is pretty clear:
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-castlevania-lords/101679

And wow, the rain and lighting looks GREAT. Definitely CV and creepy. Love the trees too. Not many games have done this mood as good as I have seen here. It actually FEELS like a dark, rainy night. And the torch effects are awesome..
