Topic: Unconfirmed MoF/LOS2 rumors from a alleged beta tester (spoiler's abound)

[Kingshango]

Earlier in the day I come across a LOS2 thread from 4Chan, now don't call bullshit just yet tho. As early as January, info about MoF and LOS2 have leaked from that site and majority of it was spot on. So he was willing to share some minor gameplay info and a potentially major character spoiler regarding Lords of Shadow 2 amongst other things:

He said the game was fine, just dont expect it to be on top 10 best games like SOTN was.

The game is portable so the whip attacks are reduced to just the useful but not overpowered ones. they are shared between all characters.
Instead there is more focus on player mobility, MoF requires more dodging, air dodging jumping and gliding in combat.
Then each character has a set of two magics and two secondary weapons that work pretty different. But he thinks that Trevor's are a little OP.

From his experiences with the four campaigns:

Simon has the best exploration
Trevor has the best platforming
Alucard has the best combat
Gabriel's prologue  is basically the tutorial level to show you the ropes and set the tone of the game

Lords of Shadow 1 is getting a PC release and the embargo will be lifted soon.

The soundtrack is still the usual epic orchestral flare like LOS1 but there are some nice tunes as well, nicer than LOS1 at least but YMMV

Simons voice actor is set to be apart of Lords of Shadow 2, the character he's playing is (warning, character spoiler.)

Julius Belmont in modern day.

I tried to get him to answer weather Trevor is Alucard or not but he didn't wanna spoil it. He did however say that

(click to show/hide)

Alucard will take up the role as narrator but he didn't say which game.

 

Alucard has the classic stopwatch subweapon and has the ability to shoot a barrage of bats.

Each Dracula fight plays out different, with multiple stages. He didn't say if Dracula had any final forms however due to not wanting to give away too much.

There is no extra mode like Richter mode but the game is lenghty, with each campaign taking up to 5 to 6 hours or longer if you %100 it

As for classic monsters, he said that quite a few recognisable monster are in, he didn't go into specifics though. But he was happy to mention that Mermen still spit fire and other types of Mermen shoot lightning and poison.

That was about all he could say before vanishing, Like I said before, take with a grain of salt, don't kill me if they're false and pray the ninjas don't kill me if they're true.

wait, he didn't want to spoil the 1 major thing that is on fans minds (Alucard=Trevor)?

Thats the one thing I was looking forward to being spoiled about since I wanted to get that out the way.

While their are some things I like about the spoiler such as Julius Belmont being in LOS2 with Simon's voice actor, I did not like hearing that there will not be any unlockable modes for Mirror of Fate.

[GuyStarwind]

Wait Simon and Julius have the same VA? If that's true that sounds lazy.

[Sumac]

Nothing major, so far, aside from Julius being present in LOSverse.
Glad to see another confirmation about possible release of LOS on PC. I hope the game will be ported well and with all DLC included into the game already.

[Kingshango]

If this is true, then Trevor and Alucard apparently having the same voice actor is starting to make alot more sense.

[uzo]

I wasn't going to view this, but, at this point I have come to terms with the fact that LoS is just about dead to me and I really don't care if it's spoiled. There is nothing much left to spoil anyway, seeing as it's all a predictable slop.

[K.G. Morder]

Cant say Julius surprises me. He's THE go to "Modern Day Belmont", and fan favorite due to his badass facial hair. (Though Simon has got some competition for him now!)

Of course, again, it is yet to be seen if any of this holds up.

[flyingchai]

Cox has stated on more than one occasion that LOS2 has no narrator.
And as far as the Belmont in LOS2, natural choice considering his backstory in the old timeline.
And how is that considered lazy to use the same talent for his voice actor? Seems more like cost efficiency.

So... no played Alucard in LOS2??  someone will be angry.... 

[Dark Nemesis]

If all these rumors stand true, then one thing comes to my mind. It's like the movie trailers, were they put all the best scenes there to attract you to go and see the movie, but when you go and see the movie, the only thing you are end up doing, is looking your watch waiting, when the movie will end and have this torture end.

[Bergaron]

Torture for you. LOS is the best game for me in this console generation. I wish I could use Alucard in LOS2?? Yess, clearly. Somewhat disappointed, but I thought that both MoF and LOS2 going to be the best of 2013. Day one!! sure.

Don't get me wrong, but when they are showing you on trailers some things and getting your hopes high, only to find that only half of what you have seen is going to be playable, then you'll get disappointed. This doesn't mean i want buy and play the game, only that i was expecting too much and that i ended getting much less.

[Nagumo]

Eh, can't they just think of a new name for this Belmont character? I'm a bit disappointed we're only getting one "original" Belmont character out of this continuity.

[Kingshango]

No, Mirror of Fate has no extra mode. He said nothing about LOS2 aside from the "new" character.

[Heuss]

Julius Belmont?
