Topic: Lords of shadow 2 is on it's way

Mercury Steam making a 2D game? ugh please no. that'd be a fucking trainwreck. let them stick with the epic 3D titles they're good at. (unless they use similar animations like they did with the Gabriel .gifs, but that'd be a pain in the ass to actually animate & I doubt they'd do that)

The Japan division however should handle it like they always have, perhaps a metroidvania for the 3DS & classic style for the Vita, or both styles integrated into 1 game someway somehow. it can be done, search your feelings, you know it to be true. everyone's happy

Konami has there in house Castlevania team locked up in the basement awaiting to join Team Silent in Valhalla. So even if Mercurysteam doesn't do the 3DS game, they'll just give it to some other western developer *fingers crossed for Wayforward.*

2D, 3D models, Metroidvania with no leveling up, and it would all be a weird fusion of your standard levels with Metroidvania design. I guess something like Order of Ecclesia. The combat would be similar to LoS though. That's what I've heard/been told.

Rumored Protagonist:

Trevor Belmont.

Really!? This is the first I've heard of that.

Interesting so that means the rumor about it being set

(click to show/hide)

300 years after LOS1

could be true.

Actually Kingshangy WayForward could do a good job too, +1 for you sir


@OSM aka Oswaldo,

where the hell did you hear that? sounds like BS to me no offense

i remember the "Complete Chronicles" rumor someone farted out, and some people took it & ran with it. dont people ever learn

I've heard more, but I don't want to spoil anything else if these rumors are true. PM me if you're curious/don't care about being spoiled.

A very dumb image board full of anonymous posters.

I'm still very skeptical about it all, but the source has been in contact with me for the past couple of months and he's been very consistent with everything he's told me.

Wayforward making a new Castlevania would be amazing, I want them to make Castlevania VI. (V is technically Rondo)

[crisis]

i'm still waiting for Haunted Castle 2, CV Adventure 3, Kid Dracula HD Remix, and ReBirth 2 o.o;

[shelverton.]

I definitely think the time is right to announce a 3DS Vania, alongside the LoS sequel for PS3/360. I don't care who makes the game but WayForward would be sweet.

The "Complete Chronicles"would make perfect sense if it wasn't for the fact that Konami is handling the series. Also, there's no way a Castlevania Collection would ever be a complete one. And I really want it to be complete, not just four or five NES/SNES/Genesis roms thrown together on a disc. I think a Castlevania Collection would've been more likely a few years ago. But that didn't happen. Konami is probably more interested in releasing these games separately, over and over, for download services. It's the more profitable thing to do.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, Mercury Steam has never really dabbled with 2D before. For all we know, it could be outsourced to someone else but with MS's art direction in mind.

It would be crazy if we got two Castlevania games announced at E3, Mercury Steam 3DS and LoS2.

It would be AWESOME if they announced two games at E3. It would be be like Konami saying, "Yeah, sorry, we fucked up the big anniversary thing. Here's two games for you guys!!!".

Would be cool if it WAS true. Though, I still would like a MS CV set in, well, anytime but the medieval era. More so if it was set in the 18th-19th century(maybe even early 20th). Get away from that era of knights and stuff, and get into a different setting. I can only stand so much of it. I'd like to see MS tackle the men in tweed suits, top hats, women in Victorian dresses, cobblestone streets lit by old street lamps, Jack the Ripper and such. No more mystical magical forests with faeries. I mean, pimp-ass Gabula, in a black suit and cloak, dressed to kill, sucking the necks of buxom Victorian babes... holy shit!

+1 for you sir

I'm expecting Gabula to just be an angrier Gabriel in his armor, white hair, vampiric eyes, and have some kind of long flowing cape.

Care to elaborate on the consistency? Because for the franchise, there really hasn't been much to report on since the release of Lords and Mercury's own droplets about future games.

I'd be way WAY more excited if they announced a 3DS/Vita game, produced by IGA with artwork from Kojima/Masaki & music from Yamane/Koshiro. Like the good 'ol days. Not to say I'm not looking forward to LoS-2, though.


Like this post if you agree.

Only as long as there are no more pretty boys, and that IGA can fully deliver on a story that's at least passable. But ONLY if the story comes first and then the game is built around it. I'd like to see him take up that challenge at least once in his career.

I have to admit, though I wouldn't need it to be a IGA title (I'm loving the thought of Wayforward getting the reigns) I really do think we are overdue for a handheld title and will say now that (unless it looked completely underwhelming) I would be WAY more excited for a 3DS or Vita game, preferable 2D.

To be frank, I'm not all that excited about LOS2. :/  LOS felt too 'Lord of the Rings' esque for me most of the time, among other things. Not a bad game, but not a good CV game.

[Profbeanburrito]

I'll only be excited for an IGA game if it's a Draculas Curse remake

And as for LoS sequel, ive been wondering lately if we'll still be playing as Gabriel, but not Dracula Gabriel. I know it's been discussed here before, but I still wonder if Gabriel's spirit accessended to heaven and the gabriel in the Satan fight and DLC is his shadow self. Maybe we'll be playing as Saintly Gabriel against Dracula Gabriel?

An HD Dracula's Curse remake wouldn't be bad honestly. (Though I'm biased to it, as it's my favorite game in the series. XD)

I'll be honest, I've thought about this one myself. I assumed that his soul hadn't exactly ascended yet (due to the ending where he's confronted by Zobak) or if it did, perhaps not completely: like it's been corrupted due to the events in LoS and he's stuck, living forever, feeding of the life-force/blood of others. And existence I'm sure Gabe has come to loath.  Though didn't someone say that a good way for it to go with Gabe would be separating his soul and thus creating two separate beings? Where the good half would produce the Belmonts who relentlessly hunt the evil half of Gabe (aka Drac)?

[Dremn]

I really wish there was an explanation as to what Gabe did to Satan in that last scene. It's the same ritual the Brotherhood performed when they ascended into heaven, but Gabe seems to have kept himself intact.

[Kingshango]

From what I remember, it was either Cox or Alverez that said that Gabriel used the power of the souls that brought him back and made him uber to banish Satan and destroy the seal that Zobek placed at the same time.

Although this should have been more clearer in the game instead of having the player guessing on what just happened.
