Easy. I'm in the LoS team  :) -not kidding-

Since you are on the team then maybe you wont mind me asking how you feel Castlevania has been done for the past 10 or so years under IGA?

Welcome then ;D Hope you read good part of this topic, as you can see, there is confusion and a mix of feelings, but I beg you, don't fear to innovate, this saga needed a change sooner or later, it doesn't matter, there will always be opossition to new ideas, but please, don't fear.
There's a lot of us that just love what you are doing and are very happy, kudos!
If you can, please, tell the high ranges that we need information, perhaps the division for this game is made by the lack of information, hardocre fans are begging for a reason to think it's a castlevania, the ones who defend this new direction are begging for more reasons to be happy, it's almost an universal clamor made by CV fans, we need more information. I'm not talking about spoiler the whole game, of course not!, but you know, when you have a so favoutrite saga and a promising game is coming, illusion and hopes go to a greater extent.

One last thing :) if you are working at MercurySteam, or if you know someone from there interested, here is the link to the biggest Castlevania community in spanish http://www.castlemaniacs.com/foros/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=1228 , if you read the LOS topic, you'll see that there's a LOT of love ;D Thanks for being here.

Thank you very much for your kind words!! And yes, I see there is confusion and mixed feelings. I can say we're creating what we think is a wonderful game. We're proud of it and we think most of you will immensely enjoy it. Time will tell, but rest assured we're doing our best  :)

I personally respect and admire Iga's work on Castlevania, same for everyone else involved. They created few awesome games that are testament to their talent.

AS you can see, I made a mistake, it's not Antonio Alcázar but Joe luis Vaello's art.

I just got done watching the ending of Curse of Darkness. St Germain made an interesting comment after speaking briefly on the final battle with Lord Dracula and humanity.

"Perhaps they will remember your fight or perhaps it will start anew."

Some more food for thought.

Welcome to the forum Dtritus! You are doing great job at MercurySteam! Keep it up!

Now I'm not sure if I should write about it or not (Dtritus is watching ;)) but today Mr. Cox uploaded on twitpic.com photo of Robert Carlyle during work - http://twitpic.com/yiv47 . Please just don't look at the confidential document in front of the actor... it's confidential after all. :)

I know - I will be damned... but I wrote about it to Mr. Cox on Twitter so I hope if this is really important he will delete the photo. Sorry if my post is a problem... my fan's soul is screaming for more info... ;)
