I'm not challenging you or anything, but what were some of the deceptions and outright lies that they said? I really hadn't been following Castlevania much since 2009, I was heavily into Metal Gear then. :X
While it's not directed at me, I shall fill this in to the best of my ability, so lets start from the very beginning:
1. In early 2008, a new IP called Lords of Shadow is shown, many people thought it was a Castlevania game right off the bat. in a interview with Dave Cox, he said that "We at Konami is tired of making the same games over and over, so we created the new IP Lords of Shadow, a dark fairy tale." The game disappears untill the coming weeks of E3 09.
2. After a full year, Lords of Shadow resurfaces once again at E3 but this time it has been re branded as "Castlevania Lords of Shadow." Dave Cox comes out to say this is a reboot(or alternate continuity) to Castlevania, and then said the imfamous words "
Forget everything you knew about Castlevania." Many people saw this as a slap in the face(IGA's face in particular)
3. later in the fall after months of silence, Cox said in an interview wih GT that "This game will not have QTE's, I hate QTE's." and "LoS will have many familiar themes orchestrated"
4. One year later and the game is finally shown, and no familiar themes were heard, OTE's were almost everywhere and the presence of Dracula(or anyother Castlevania element) were nowhere to be found. Fans felt lead on and betrayed by Cox's words.
5. Game is finally released and many people love it, and many people hate it for it's "lack of Castlevania feel."
6.. Cox say's that The DLC reverie is coming out in Febuary, It was released in March, on PSN only. The DLC Resurrection will be released in April, we're nearing the end of May and they just finished it.
There is probably more out there but this is all that I can think of from the top of the dome. whatever his intentions, Cox seem's to swirl around the truth about this game as well as it's plans for the future.
