Topic: HEAVY SPOILERS! Possible changes in gameplay for Resurection

Due to Gabriel's transformation in Reverie combined with how Laura handeled during her phase, what changes in gameplay do you think might occur? I think roll dodging will be replaced with teleporting and grabbing will now have "feeding" implemented. Perhaps the Combat cross will be altered if still used at all? Maybe the same for subweapons?

What do you think? Agree? I know a few of these points have been brought up already but I'm curious to see if anybody besides me has given it much thought. I like speculating.

At most, I think that.....

we will get some vampire skills but the overall gameplay will not change that much.  If we did get all of Laura's skills, then what would happen if we went back to past stages?  Would we still have the vampire skills?  If that was the case, some of the trials would be a lot easier.  I can't really see that happening.  It would be unfair to those who completed those trials without those abilities.  For example, the trial in which you have to beat the ogre without getting hit would be child's play if we became able to turn into mist.  Also, wouldn't sunlight kill us?

Gabriel more than likely won't turn vampire until the last scene. It's dramatic!

[VeteranVk]

Good point about the trials becoming cake but I think If those types of/if any gameplay changes like the ones I mentioned take place I'd assume they'd remain exclusive to Resurrection otherwise...

I think they could have added the option to play as Laura through the earlier chapters via the extra's menu once you downloaded Reverie and beat it.

  That wouldn't have been a bad idea come tho think of it. The sunlight thing could easily be remedied by not having any daylight levels though. Even still...

Laura seemed unaffected by sunlight in the first level

I'm sure they'll change nothing.

The way I see it is

Gabriel will change progress wise meaning he will change stage by stage and will gain new vampiric abilities till his fight with TFO. Also I believe the vampiric powers will used exclusively  for Resurrection and cannot be carried into the main game.

I'm guessing that he wont be able to use his holy weapons, especially the combat cross. Just holding it would probably hurt him.

I´m agree with this^^^.

But, what will going to happen with the Combat Cross? The same weapon used to fight again evil, will be used against Gabriel? Will he destroy it? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT CASTLEVANIA???!!!

Believe me, this chapter will end in such clffhanger that the original epilogue will feel like "Gone with the wind".

These guys know how to create expectation

Maybe the chain will get ripped out of the combat cross, someone will fasten it to a stick, and then it will be the whip of alchemy or vampire killer.

[VeteranVk]

I agree with Kingshango. I still think..

...feeding will be essential from the beginning in order to recover life.

It's already called the Vampire Killer in LoS. I like that name.

[thernz]

if you pulled all of the chain about of the combat cross, its width would be the circumference of middle earth times a billion......

[Vampire Killer]

I think you mean length, not width.

I doubt there will be anything major as far as changes to gameplay, since cox said that anything you get in the DLC can be used in the main game.  I think you'll probably gain a new ability such as the wings or boots that you can use optionally but I doubt theyll make a mandatory change to Gabriel in the DLC, cause then it would probably end ip being mandatory for the entire game. Any major gameplay changes are probably going to be in the sequel
