Topic: Doesn't LoS story remind you of... (Spoilers)

[justin312]

I'm sure this has been brought up before, so sorry if this has already been discussed, but does anyone else notice the many parallels between the Lords of Shadow story and Star Wars? Dracula is Darth Vader. Gabriel is Anakin Skywalker. Marie is Padme. The Brotherhood of Light is the Jedi order. The combat cross is the light saber. Zobek is like an anti-Obi Wan. The Belmont sons are Luke Skywalker. Simon is Luke from A New Hope, neophyte hero who goes up against the dark lord not knowing of his lineage. Trevor is Luke from Empire Strikes Back, experienced hero who falls in battle to his evil father, who then tries to get him to the dark side. Alucard is Luke from Return of the Jedi, the now very powerful hero who is the good version of his evil father.

I predict Lords of Shadow 2 will end with Dracula turning back to good at the very end and saving Alucard while defeating an evil worse then himself before perishing as a redeemed hero.

Hopefully we won't be stuck listening to a village of chupacabras singing a "zub zub" song to end the game.

that's prolly how it's gonna happen, much to my dismay. I'd rather see Dracula getting killed in a spectacular fashion & him being reborn in a Soma-like character, than him having a change of heart last second saying "hey i've switched back to the light side again." That worked for Darth Vader & Star Wars, but that doesn't mean i want to see it repeated here.

And in the background of LoS2's credits, you see a redeemed ghost of Gabriel.......as portrayed by Hayden Christensen.

Then 10 odd years later, the series get's bought out by Nintendo and they announce three more Lords of Shadow games.

Also Yoda appears in the background, for no apparent reason.

Bring in Jar Jar Binks too.
Then we'd drown our sorrows in alcohol.

One more thing that seems to be from Star Wars: Some of the evil main characters seem to have lightning attacks similar to force lightning. Examples: Laura, Camilla, Zobek. I remember watching a walkthrough on a youtube channel called DSPGaming where the guy playing, Phil, asks: "why does everyone have force lightning?"

And this is one of the things I don't like about this storyline. It seems to be StarWars in a fantasy setting with Castlevania name drops. IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE CASTLEVANIA, NOT STARWARS!!!! This is what happens when you outsource gaming projects.

[Kingshango]

Speaking of which, it's strange that neither Dracula nor Alucard have no lightning attacks. Whereas both have nearly every power under the su....uh moon (Dracula in particular can explode at will), the force lightning is missing.

Bring in Jar Jar Binks too.
Then we'd drown our sorrows in alcohol.

Binks will be the Lords of Shadow take on Hammer.

[Lelygax]

It would be funny if Hammer from this universe is a carpenter, then his name/nickname would make sense and at the same time destroy the character that we know as Hammer. lol

[Kingshango]

And to add to the similarities, Alucard is basically Boba Fett.

[Flame]

Well because despite being so iconic, the Star Wars tropes are pretty cliched as is. The good guy prophesied hero who falls to darkness, his son who fights against him and learns the truth of their father/son relationship, the holy/good order, etc.

Also Yoda appears in the background, for no apparent reason.

DLC tie in. 15$

[Lelygax]

Hahaha good, Uzo. I forgot about the DLCs.

why they every one hate lords of shadows so much, is nothing to do to star wars, they are old movies in space and lords of shadows and all cox games is a fantasy, every day they invend a new insult to lords of shadows but that can't make change of the truth is the best and always be the best of castlevanias, just to aclarate, is better lords of shadows what star wars.
