They can start doing that once they tell us what happened to IGA.

This sort of malaise always happens in summer time in the game industry in general.

So it's nothing shocking that Lords is feeling ignored too.

The next best bet is the Tokyo Game Show, usually held sometime in early fall.

They will talk ( they said at E3 they would unveil more in the near future ). When ? as long as they are european ( Developer and producer ), Konami is a part of the advisory board and they care about games and making hype, I bet they will unveil a lot about this game at Gamescon which will take place in Cologne (Germany) from Aug 19th to 23th.

Visit the website: http://www.gamescom-cologne.com/

FYI, Sony will have a THREE hours conference on 18th Aug ( prior to the start of the exhibit ).

Oh yeah isn't that the convention where LoS was revealed in the first place (in 2008)?

[CastlevaniaX]

As much as I know, That was called Liebzig Game Convention and it's cancelled. GamesCom is a different event and it seems to be as important as E3.

Anyway, They will talk at this event. I wonder if one of you guys can meet the developer team and the producer of Castlevania because it seems to be our big chance to get as much info as we desire. Well, I know other journalists would do this but I'd like to know it from a fan's experience.

I got the following info from a post in the anti-chaple forum

Word is coming in from Game Informer.

No candles. No Warp rooms. So far, no vampires. Lots of werewolves, religious imagery, southern European country side. Other staples will be missing from the game, but they think fans will like it anyways. GI expresses concern that Vampires wont be there at all, Dracula included. Also they admit its a GoW styled game.

Is this real ?

I did skim through the GI article and that does sum it up quite a bit, yeah.

So all of the people complaining about this game being unlike castlevania actually have valid reasons now..

[DragonSlayr81]

Well, if this is true, then no thank you LoS. You are not the CV game I wanted, and if the entire series truly is headed down this path, I'm outta here. 

[Clara E. Leet]

You guys all know you're still gonna play this game, so preemptive bitching really is unnecessary.

[DragonSlayr81]

Well, I probably won't. I have't gotten around to getting a PS3 or X360 yet, so that's one big reason. Though, even if I did, I think with how expensive those games are running, I'd be a little more wiser in what I'd blow my cash on, only getting games that really interest me. But who knows, I might watch a playthrough on YouTube.

That is very very true. It doesn't seem like anyone's been able to get any solid interviews landed yet.

[Ahasverus]

First of all, we don't have a key element: A link, a scan, anything that proves that.
And seriously, I don't hink that mercurysteam (And Konami) are stupid, They know what could happen making such a thing, I mean, not even vampires? (That's the only thing I'm concerned about; warp rooms and candles, I'm hjappy if they don't put them in) that could be crazy. Oh wait, IGa has made games without vampires (Apart from Dracula and Alucard)...
