Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia takes place in a time after the great Richter Belmont has vanished from the lands. With the once-mighty clan of vampire hunters extinct, the world has been thrown into chaos. Dracula and his armies still thrive, so it's up to mere mortals to face off against the legendary vampire on their own. Thus, the Order of Ecclesia was born.

Made up of the most proficient magic users in the world, the Order of Ecclesia harnesses magical elements in the world known as "glyphs." These glyphs

Was posted in 'nother topic, but still, IGN did a better job at getting info than Gamespot did.

A whole page of new details. LOL also the page that almost gave Abster a heart attack (in bad way)

Hmmm...If I remember correctly, IGA once said he had a game idea in mind that would explain why the Belmonts couldn't use Vampire Killer until 1999...
THIS has to be that game. The timeframe and plotline fits perfectly...
I like the "glyph" system...Two weapons at once reminds me of how SOTN worked(it had a similar system where Alucard could wield two weapons at once.) It also puts a bit of strategy into the hack and slash formula. I think that this could be as good as Aria of Sorrow was, if not surpassing it.

Oh, it will almost definetely surpass it. Seems like we've got a load of new features here.

Let's just hope it is.
Pray we don't end up with another PoR.

I think we all are.

Considering the fact that the main character seems miles more badass than protagonists from PoR, I'd say we're off to a good start.
