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

[Munchy]

They should totally put some evil artist in a future game who uses with paintings and..... oh wait...

Anyway, it would be cool to have a crazy inventor/mad scientist who invents machines throught the game, and then finally turns into one himself. Or it could possibly be set in the future, after the Sorrow-games. The mad scientist build robotic versions of all the classic villians and enemies. Somehow he comes across the OMG SOUL OF DRACULA and his robotic Dracula comes to life. Haha.

Remind me to never write the storyline for a Mega Ma... erh... Castlevania game. Ever.

Actually, a scientist character would be cool if he made biological experiments/demons. It'd fit with my idea of PoR having Dr. Mengele as the villain; he was a pretty twisted guy in real life.

More awesome news from castlemaniac's forums! 
Our MS insider told us that each Lords of Shadow has two forms, a human one, and a demonic one!  Do you imagine them? I just can't, it's too much awesomeness.

Cool! So my theory about the Crow demon might be correct (normally a guy, demon form is giant crow composed of smaller crows seen in the trailer).

One other interesting thing on Cox's twitter... He wrote about a VO session with Jason Isaacs. Looking at his IMDB listing, it turns out he's a pretty prevalent villain actor, including Lucius Malfoy and that evil Colonel from the Patriot. I've got no doubt that the voice at the end of the extended trailer is his... My guess is he's Dracula. Hell, his current photo looks close to the part, complete with the widow's peak.

I wonder if Gabriel will have a devil trigger too?

I wonder if Gabriel will have a devil trigger too?

Probably during the final boss fight.

i really hope not, I think that will be lame. I don't want our hero to have any sort of divine powers aside from the whip.

[Munchy]

He's got the magics too, and I guess uses them with his subweapons/whip sorta like HoD?

But yeah, Gabe better not be turning into a robot or anything. Unless it's an extra joke ending, in which case I'm all for it.

Maybe, but what exactly do we wanna know at this point? I don't want the entire storyline spoiled for example. Konami would probably be smart not to even mention if Dracula is in the game or not. That is something for the player to find out. And players who say "I'M NOT BUYING THE GAME UNLESS DRACULA IS IN IT!!" actually don't deserve to play the game anyway. I think Konami should just show a few short gameplay videos, tell us one or two things about the story we didn't know, let us hear a few pieces of music, and then just let the videos and screenshots speak for themselves.

I agree.  They're probably keeping a tight lid on it because they know that if story details are actually leaked, they will end up all over these forums and discussed endlessly here and at the other place, so everyone will have the story spoiled for them whether they want to know the details or not.  I say good for them keeping the story under wraps.  I'd rather find out Dracula's involvement in the story by playing it, not by accidentally getting the whole plot blown for me when I'm just checking for new screenshots.

Here is a new preview that I haven't seen yet.

Also, Hi.

[Kale]

Greetings, nice add to the topic.

It's definitely new to me.

I know you're watching!"




(I couldn't let this fall off the front page! ^_^)

[Munchy]

Graaah... what I really hate is that all new previews are just rearranged ways of telling us what we already know.

And the game is hyped enough that the bastards can get away with it.

[Inccubus]

Agreed, but at least its making it easier for me not to get too hyped about it.

[DingusBelmondo]

So I'm applying for a job at Vons. Here are my reasons in order of importance.
1. Castlevania Lord of Shadows
2. Red Dead Redemption
3. New Camera
4. I owe my friend $200 for smashing the toilet in his hotel room
5. Spending money for this summer.

Hmm. Maybe I should reevaluate my priorities.
