Reading about all this moding requests, i can't stop my self from thinking, what Cox will think if he's going to read about them.........

He'll ignore those comments and rave about the upcoming LoS2 game.

I support modding the music!

I wasn't too excited about the announcement, but then again, if the mods mentioned here do come to fruition (music, character models, etc.) well hot damn, sign me up to be a sucker and buy the same game twice!

I very very seriously doubt a lot of the more extreme mods ppl are mentioning will ever come to be. Thatd require actual mod *tools* released for the game which Im about 99.9% sure wont happen. Beyond that itd require community made tools to hack the game which also most likely wont happen because its not likely to be a super popular pc release.

Expect mods more along the lines of Dark Souls on pc instead of Skyrim on pc... Even thats depending on the level of custom storing/encryption on the games files

But still good on them for releasing a pc version. If its like 19.99 it might do ok

"I'mma sue all modders for disrespecting my perfect vision of Castlevania! Ah ha ha!"

...Okay, that's low. I apologize.

No it's not and I wouldn't put it passed the legal department.

Now for some more ideas:

-How about a "Lite mode" hack that just doubles your damage output and disables ALL QTEs?

-Do SOMETHING... ANYTHING... to improve the Titan battles.

-If someone was adept and bad-ass enough, add the Battle Axe, Stop Watch, and Holy Cross as additional sub-weapons.

-Replace the various sub-weapon ammo with hearts along with some breakable candles & shit.

I'd like to see:

1) Battle tweaks:
Increased enemy aggression, increased enemy damage, decreased enemy HP. Disabled minor QTE, and auto-completing unavoidable QTE.

2) Music:
Changed music files at least. Easily accessible method perhaps, so custom sound tracks can be made easily. Preferably remove normal badguy 'battle' music triggers except for bosses and mini bosses.

3) Remove shaky cam / snow on lens effect.

4) Change sub weapons:
Change the item drop imagery to hearts, even if it means just replacing every drop model with the same thing. Curse of Darkness had a nice heart design if I recall, with the metal frame around it, giving it a silver color and a red inner heart color. Maybe different colored hearts for each weapon if you can't make it so they all run off of one heart count. Red (inner) and silver (metal frame) for knives, green and yellow for fairies, blue and gold for holy water, and purple and black for the dark crystal.

5) Alternate costumes for Gabriel. At least a Leon, and Trevor from the PS2 titles. Hell, as much as I hate to say it even Judgement's shitty designs might be nice to see.

What if Gabe's model was swapped? or is that what you mean?

Also, man, I REALLY love that piano piece. I hope we can hear it in game somewhere.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

Yeah, I mean a model swap for Gabe. It'll be a bit of work to make it fit the animations but it would be awesome to see. Of course theres nothing ruling the creation of a new model out, but quality is a concern.

What of that one PS3 case in which a hacker was sued for modding his PS3 to run Linux? (Comic dramatization, sexually suggestive humor, NSFW ads, yadda yadda yadda.)

-How about a "Lite mode" hack that just doubles your damage output and disables ALL QTEs?

-Do SOMETHING... ANYTHING... to improve the Titan battles.
These would be top priority.

It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

You are now reading this in Robert Belgrade's voice.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.

This is awesome news! I was hoping they'd release LoS for PC because I've been moving away from console and more towards PC gaming. Nice to know Konami is supporting the PC a bit more. It'll be nice to be able to carry this around on my laptop.

This was also the case in LoI. But the LoI version of hearts had better and smoother details then the rough blockly ones from CoD. you can see them here for a comparison;

Ah, I thought so. I just figured CoD's would have been better being released later... I should have checked, haha. Thanks for the heads up.

By the way, one of your links is a link to reply to a thread. I get the idea though.

And why, I mean, WHY -1 on this comment I made?
Anyone felt offended by this?
I'm part spanish, so I can joke about this.
And I guess everyone knows that with Skycaptain and the Reviewer this is a subject for joking.
Anyway... the -1ers will -1.
