Topic: Lords of Shadow sequel is coming out this year, hinted by David Cox over twitter

[uzo]

Pardon my ignorance Foffy, but what did they mean by that?

I believe he's referencing Marvel's "Ultimates" comic series. They basically went and rebooted a boat load of their comic series all at once, with much emphasis on interconnecting from the get go and smoothing over a bunch of issues there in the process.

[Ahasverus]

The Ultimate series has a lot of crazy twists, Peter parker is dead now It began somewhat near the original timeline, then it went trainwreck mode. I hope the contrary is going to happen to LoS.

@Jorge: My apologies, a shameful incident indeed.

[Maedhros]

lol, LOS already killed everything from the original game just putting the Belmont as Dracula.

[meanguyjones]

You noticed that too, hmm? I've noticed Cox has been inconsistent in explaining the game. First it was a remake of Simon's stuff, then it was a reboot, then it's considered a 'Ultimate'-ish entry, and the last thing I recall him saying was that it's in an entirely different line than every other single Castlevania game.

If so, why is it called Castlevania?

Because its a Castlevania game, period.

I disagree.

It has nothing to do with Castlevania 1.

Brand recognition.

No one said it has. He means that Castlevania was known as Belmont's vs Dracula. Now with LoS, everything we knew about Castlevania, has gone oposite. Yes i know, it's a reboot, but can you make a reboot of Superman, by turning him to super villain?

that's been done...... twice as I can recall

the problem with the word "reboot" is that it's now a blacklisted word for gamers.... and soon TMNT fans...

I honestly think most people should check out the ridiculous endeavors that Marvel/DC has done with their ever so familiar series, I think that you'll find that Belmont Dracula is waaaaay better than Making a Deal with the devil by divorcing your wife in order to save your dying aunt, or becoming a full spider and give birth to yourself ~ both respectively from spiderman

ehhh I think most "reboots" nowadays are absolutely lame. "lets wipe the slate clean to shock/shit on the loyal fans," the only reboot that "did it right" so far was Batman Begins.

And it reckons a lot of things too

No one's really complaining, though. These other reboots do shit that make no sense.

Bruce didn't grow up poor with a unknown sibling and he didn't encounter a pre-Joker when they were kids. All the basics and foundations are still intact.

Oh heheheh, you should check Comicbookmovies.com and those kind of sites, there are totally HATERS of the Nolan franchise because it's too far from the source material. They hate it with PASSION and want a fantastical Batman Reboot without armor suit and more tighs.Because it's more faithful of course!

[Flame]

Turning the hero into a villain? Even without reboots it's been done.

Superman's done it a few times in alternate universe "what if" scenarios, and even in the cartoons he did it once or twice.

Justice Lord Superman being a pretty good example in the cartoons, of Superman and the Justice League taking over the world and turning it into a totalitarian regime.

or Ultraman, who is basically the alternate universe villain Superman.

No one said it has.

should've clarified then.

I dont mind the DCU's "new 52" reboot.

the Nolanverse is pretty good, but IMO so far, Begins was a better movie than Dark Knight.

And while Heath Ledger's Joker was pretty good, he felt more like an overglorified anarchist than the Joker. the glasgow grin was an interesting touch though.

we'll see how the third movie does. Though if there is no Venom involved with Bane...

it's been done to death o.o;

i know, yet another series of pointless reboots "just because"

the Nolanverse is pretty good

so far it's way better than the previous movies, 1989 Batman possibly being the exception

we'll see how the third movie does

my predictions is Avengers will have the better action scenes, but DKR will have the better story. Spiderman will be hit or miss but at least we'll have a wise-crackin' Peter this time around

Though if there is no Venom involved with Bane...
