I thought a sequel had been on lock for some time now?  Anyways, yes...I will pick it up if it does come out.  I enjoyed LoS more than either of the PS2 titles, so I'm on board for a sequel. If MS listens to ANY of the feedback that longtime fans had on LoS then I think we may get a game that will bring in more traditional CV elements than its predecessor did.  

Besides, it's Castlevania.  I can't NOT own it.  ;D

This is the main thing that will make or break it for me. If it's just more of the same without any of the problems addressed (you know these with me, way excessive wall-shimmying, QTEs, and generic high fantasy/ Hollywood bullocks), then I'd get it used for ~$20.

I have serious doubts. If this sequel is anything like the first in terms of QTE's, unnecessary and overemphasized shimmying, Titan battles, stretched out GoW combat, etc. then I think I'll pass. I can live without this type of CV game.

I will buy it as long as gameplay and music have evolved. Music being more gothic and gameplay that has less invisible walls.
And a new character

If it's happening, I will buy it

BUT

 It better be a vast improvement and addresses all the problems LoS had and this goes beyond feeling like Castlevania, it has to feel like a solid, well put together game first.

And better music could help, alot.

I enjoyed LoS, but it was a lie. No QTE? what bull, there WERE PLENTY of QTEs. If it continues then I'll get it when it comes down dramatically in price.... maybe.

“The next Castlevania game we make is totally going to be like SCIV, this time. Promise! Look, we even could be bothered to name a few unused character models we still had laying around after old characters! And do you remember the Lizardman from the original Castlevania!? If you pay good attention during this cutscene you can spot him on a movie poster while Simon is driving past it in his car. And on top of that, the movie title reads “Akumajo Lizardman” Lol! How about that?”

Maybe this time around they can make a game all about Alucard!
...and then turn him into Death, Slogra or Gaibon even. It would only be fair after all.
