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

Wtf... gabrial becomes mathias becomes dracula... guess this game's story won't be good either if that's true.

[Kingshango]

Maybe Gabriel will have split personalities once he obtains the power of the Lords of Shadow and will refer to himself as two people ala Venom.

If I was to make a real reboot of this series, I would stay as far away from names like "Cronqvist" as possible.
However, if I intended to kinda connect this game with the original timeline, Cronqvist would probably be the first thing I'd put into the game. Makes you wonder...

[DingusBelmondo]

Im guessing this is just because he is against Dracula, which explains why it becomes the belmonts duty to fight drac

But he's already a Cronqvist, so wouldn't that mean he's for Dracula?

[thernz]

Gabriel is Alucard, son of Dracula.
This is...
The Alucard game.
ignore that alucard's last name is tepes

[A-Yty]

If I would somehoew connect it, I'd be pickier about what I'd take from the old timeline. As much as I liked LoI, I'd ignore Cronqvist.

[A-Yty]

The thing I DO find funny is that the references we know so far ARE references to IGA's CV games. They could've very well pulled references from OLDER CV games without travelling the way of using "Cronqvist" or "Wygol". They could've very well used names from the N64 games, and say Gabriel was from the Schieder family, or name the town "Jova". Maybe we'll see some of that type of stuff in the game, but yeah, the other than referencing that the game is a lot like SCV4, the references to the original series that they've been letting slip have been references to IGA's CV canon. The reason I think it's funny is because many people believe IGA's canon is the reason the CV series has become so convloluted, and is the reason why a reboot was "needed". Why reference IGA's games, if that's the case?

Yeah. Kind of my thoughts too.

[shelverton.]

I'm guessing the name Gabriel really says it all here... y'know... Gabriel the Archangel... AKA Satan...
I wonder if it's that simple this time? Gabe = Drac.

EDIT: I really haven't read the bible, so I may just be making this up. Gabriel was lucifer? no?

EDIT #2: It seems I am completely wrong here, lol. Hmm.. I need to study da boly bible!

[Koutei]

No offense, but why isn't anyone questioning this alleged new bit of info? Given what Cox has said about LoS being a reboot and starting a new timeline, why would they make any kind of reference to Matthias and his becoming Dracula--unless, perhaps, Cox has been lying all this time? Personally, I'm not going to believe this until I see some magazine scans or official confirmation.

Remember Amelia "hoax" Danasty.

It felt right when I was typing... and then I felt something was wrong, lol.



Wow.. I actually learnt something today! 

[Kale]

Gabriels' the angel of death I think.

[Aridale]

no gabriels the arch angel. Hes like the big dog of big dogs. Hes like the finger of god. Lucifer is the devil. The one cast out of heaven. Theyre like exact opposites

[shelverton.]

Why oh why was I taught that Gabriel was cast out of heaven too? And that he was evil.
Guess we'll never know..
