Is there anyway to sort of rewind and look from the start?

Though now they're talking about EPIC MICKEY, which I'm looking forward to as well

..I think the game looks awesome personally, 1st day purchase for me. So is a different Belmont Alucard or is it/was he Trevor?  Looks like Trevor to me...

glad i got the tail end of the Castlevania video.  enjoyed the Luigi's mansion presentation too, i want to download the demo on my 3DS, but the 3DS doesn't like my hotel's wifi. 

one thing i'm not digging about MoF is the goofy title screen with the Lost Soul on it.  ugh, it's got its charm, but don't start to equate it with the game by putting it in the logo.  guess CV needed a new mascot.

[Kingshango]

Im gonna take a shot in the dark and say Trevor did die at Dracula's castle and something/someone brought him back as Alucard.

Well that's my guess.

[derision]

Alucard was revealed in the extended trailer.

Tuned in late and didn't see it. I don't suppose it's anywhere else right now?

That said, really looking forward to this game. I'm glad that the whip swinging seems less scripted than its predecessor. Seems like a fairly early build though, if the downgraded LoS1 music and Gabriel grunts are any indication.

[Dominus]

It might be Sonia. *shrug*

I wouldnt mind it if she looked like this

I actually understand Cecil Kain's reaction given how LoS1 was inspired by SCIV apperently. But not so long ago, Cox defended this by saying that doesn't mean LoS is a straight up copy of that game. So we shouldn't expect that here either.

Wasnt PoR was inspired in CV3? Just sayin'

What I note of the translation of Alverez's interview, is that he said Konami came to him and gave him total freedom to do what he wanted with the series. You have to wonder, how much did IGA piss the execs at Konami headquarters for them to take everything from him and dump it on someone else and say "Here it is, go nuts."?

It really made it sound like Konami wants nothing to do with IGA running Castlevania anymore and that the old canon is probably a lost cause.

Because IGAvania sales are quite...laughable

Cox just confirmed on his Twitter that Sypha is Trevor's wife...

I figured they would use voice clips from Lords as placeholders. The first previews for DXC used Richter's PoR voice clips as placeholders, and every BGM was Beginning for some reason.

[Neobelmont]

One hell of a opening to start with cv it got some applause

And that was the extended trailer Alucard looks awesome 

The comments made me laugh bring zelda,pokemon, and freaking animal crossing are you kidding me, then again some fans cannot respect other franchises or at least tolerate them huh    , but over all it sounds like a strong reception over all

So the music and sound effects from the demo are placeholders after all? He confirmed that?

[knightmere]

So apparently this game is going to be a rip.. er re-imagining of Dracula's Curse, according to Cox's Presentation on Nintendo's website.  Sypha looks to be the last playable character.

[VladCT]

Rock arrangements, rock arrangements everywhere.

You sure you're not confusing Judgment with HD? *points to Beginning, Clockwork, Iron Blue Intention, and Dance of Illusions*
...Gah, fuck mobile, I can't quote posts properly. :-/

[thernz]

they were both like that

[Dremn]

Alucard definitely looked like an undead Trevor.

They might archive the video later on, or at another site like Gamespot, after it's over...Or maybe they'll have just the segments like the extended trailer on this same Nintendo E3 website.

Anyway, it was interesting to see the mainstream chat audience's reaction. A lot of people weren't digging it, showing how out of touch we are in terms of thinking the franchise is relevant. lol. One person said it was God of War for 3DS. lol.

Anyway, the show goes on...Um, where's Contra?  (Nintendo Power still has it listed as TBA for 3DS, which started before the 3DS launched)

I'm still seeing FPS drops sometimes on the game.
