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

[shelverton.]

Death is more of a servant of Dracula so I doubt he could be one.

In fact, the Lords of Shadow could very well just be three elder vampires that control a specific region of the land complete with their own castle. One control's the forest region, one control's the mountain region, and one control's whatever region we haven't seen yet.

Also each Lord could have a powerful right hand man like Dracula has Death.

Unless the Lords of Shadow are under the command of Dracula. Dracula may be the OVERLORD or something, with three servants.

Or maybe Gabriel is in fact a medusa head.

I think David Cox confirmed this on his Facebook page

- 50 Levels, no backtracking required

I hope they give you the option to back-track as much as you want to - To find hidden stuff, try glitches, etc. I really hate games that lock the door behind you, so-to-speak.

Very interesting stuff about LoS..
I'm even more curious when we'll see more
Plus the juicy details give an even more vivid CV we've been waiting years for.

It's cool that Cox responds on Twitter. Cool getting the little tidbits. I'm so excited about the 50 areas. Even if they aren't HUGE levels, that is still a shitload of environments. And from the interviews I have seen, it sounds like there will be just as many songs

I'm actually really happy about the 50 levels. They're gonna be much shorter than the massive areas in CoD, which will probably make sure that this game is exciting all the way through, with very little repetitive level design. Each level should be around 15-20 minutes long which is perfect for a game like this!

You are assuming every level will be different, with 50 levels I seriously doubt that.

Nah, not different, but a linear action game often have better and tighter level design than exploration based games, such as CoD. So even if there are 20 levels that takes place within the castle, I'm sure there will be lots of variation in how you tackle them.

[Profbeanburrito]

Yeah when I saw 50 stages I figured its not 50 different areas, but more like, for example, inside the clock tower, maybe there's an entrance and the climb up, and then the top of the clock tower, which would be 3 "stages" right there.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but, I heard people talking about the trailer that was shown on another board. It's pretty spoilerific, so if you want to know the rumor then highlight the text below here;

HIGHLIGHT TO READ
Apparently the trailer confirmed Alucard being in the game. Interesting move, but I can see where they might want to have included him in there. If true, this makes for a most interesting development I think.

Oh... my!
I wanna discuss that particular spoiler, but I won't...
Anyway... oh. my!

[Profbeanburrito]

If that is true, what Uzo says, then Cox has lied about it already, but it could be cool and I'm welcome that
