Dark Armor looks like a medieval version of Bayformers Megatron, and I hope Brauner (SCREAMS).
And finally, I hope Olrox and Brauner are the slapstick comedic villain duo.

The titan & the armor look cool. And the robo-spider. All the other designs are meh, there's nothing about them that screams "hey i'm unique!" Very disappointing for a CV title. Still, leagues beyond the ps2 enemy designs. As for Olrox & Brauner, it's like MercurySteam said "lets pick monster A & B, & call them Olrox/Brauner." I appreciate the attention to detail, though.


The Chapel is gonna HATE these screens, heh

I still believe that those are the beast form's of Olrox and Brauner, now way that they stay like that all the time.

Also I went to the chapel and yes they are hating on the screens.

Ok I was looking at the Olrox and Brauna pic and I can't believe I didn't notice that one of them is carrying a dead little girl :o

In Reply To #3540,

Nothing unique about Despair either, but atleast that game has an excuse.

Nope, at all.

Yeah! :o I'm impressed at how they didn't get a 18+ rating after all the gore we've already seen.

I don't remember where it was. Perhaps Cox's Twitter, but didn't he confirm that only the aristocrats have human forms, and all non-aristocratic vampires are just beast-form vamps. I mean, he kinda stressed that Olrox WASN'T an aristocratic vampire in this particular game(even though some asked if he was). That's why I'm lead to believe that that's the only way we'll see him in the game. No human form.

I think the headless burrowers look more like your traditional zombies than the zombies themselves. I mean, the zombies look almost like mummies or creatures that strayed away from Silent Hill. What's with the four arms? It's almost like they are evil undead experiements, though if that was the case, they might feel more at place in the new Splatterhouse game.

The chupacabra looks bizarre. They look too much like gnome/troll/brownie/dwarf/hobgoblin-type thingies.

I really don't hate orlox and brauner's design that much... it just bugs me that that is who they are. I mean, why even include those names at all. No one would have really missed those characters but its cool they were added...just not in that form. its just kind of a missed opportunity. Here's to hopeing they have human forms

Well to be fair, no one really knows what an actual chupacabra looks like, so It could look like anything unless you got a real legit picture of a chupacabra. (Which I really doubt you do)

Cave Troll is more appropriate than Chupacabra.

Like the new monsters. I can't wait to whip the smile off the Chupacabra, and the undead monsters go a long way towards making it action-horror.

You know, looking at these varieties of zombies and Gabriel's red armor, I can't help but hope for a Thriller-themed joke ending.
