Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

(1/3) > >>

Adrock:
I just watched the trailer. DO NOT WATCH IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE SPOILERS OF THE ORIGINAL. The trailer gives away a major part of he ending though, it's kind of hard to make a sequel without doing so. Anyway, the trailer looked entirely CG. I'm still excited about it because I loved the original.

A few things:
- It looks like it takes place after the Resurrection DLC meaning, among other things, Gabriel is a vampire, but before the epilogue which is kind of disappointing. Maybe the game takes place in different eras like Mirror Of Fate.
- Gabriel obviously doesn't have the Combat Cross but seems to make due. This excites me because the Combat Cross was used for most of the original's puzzles so MercurySteam seems to be thinking outside the box. Gabriel showed some of his new moves. Maybe Cox and co. got tired of their game being compared to God of War... And wanted to be compared to Force Unleashed.
- Gabriel looks like he gets younger after he does that thing that vampires do.
- I'm pretty sure the character teased at the end of the trailer is the Lords of Shadow canon version of Alucard.
- There was no Wii U logo at the end. Boo-urns. That doesn't necessarily mean it won't come to Wii U. I'm just pointing out that it wasn't there. With Mirror of Fate coming to 3DS, I expect everyone who interviews David Cox at E3 to ask him if Lords of Shadow 2 (and the original for that matter) will be ported to Wii U. That question has to be expected at this point.

I thought that debut teaser trailer was really bad ass, between the action and the return of the dramatic symphonic music.  Plus, the sweet music of all those Castlevania fans crying that Lords of Shadow "isn't Castlevania" has just been beautiful in internet comments.   ;D   I was surprised to not see a Wii U logo as well, but I'm really looking forward to this game's release next year.  I hope they put out another  LE with the soundtrack like last time, because if the trailer is any indication it'll be another good Lords of Shadow Soundtrack.

I read some comments around the internets. Some people don't think you play as Gabriel. I really hope they're wrong. Besides making that teaser kind of a waste, it'd be a missed opportunity for MercurySteam to really go their own way with the game. While I really enjoyed Lords of Shadow, it was obvious where their influences came from. It worked for the most part. The trailer practically goes out of its way to show how anti-Lords of Shadow it is. Some may not like it, but I think it shows progress. I don't want to just play more Lords of Shadow so I appreciate the changes the trailer seems to indicate.

broodwars:
From the story details Konami has leaked, it looks like you'll play as Gabriel/Dracula, whose vampire powers have weakened over time.  In true Simon's Quest-style, you have to run around and reclaim your former powers to fight some greater Evil.  Apparently, you'll be fighting the Belmont Clan as well.

Why are playing as a vampire in a game series about destroying vampires? I wish that theyr would keep the Belmonts as the hunters of vampires. Why is a Belmont even a vampire?
