Castlevania Judgment screens reveal new characters photo

You all know the way I feel about my preview time with Castlevania Judgment (although if Koji Igarashi brings that whip around again, I could likely be convinced otherwise). These newest screens let us take a gander at three new characters, Grant Danasty, Sypha and Cornell. Should you want to read more background info on them, check out their mini-bios after the jump.

Of course, if you're anything like me, you could care less about who these characters are and where they have been -- your only concern being how much ass shreddage they can inflict. That being said, I'm thinking Cornell wins in terms of badassery. I dig his assassin knife action, not to mention it looks like it would make for all kinds of awesome deaths by stabbing.

Grant Danasty
Grant Danasty used to live as a noble thief (much like Robin Hood) all the while aspiring to become a vampire hunter like Trevor. As the most agile man in Transylvania, Grant Danasty joined forces with Trevor to defeat Dracula. Since overpowering Dracula, Grant Danasty has become a true champion of good, devoting his time to restoring the town to the days before Dracula's rule.

Cornell
Cornell, a proud werewolf whose martial arts are said to be invincible, has come to rescue his younger sister Ada, who was kidnapped and taken to Dracula's castle. With the blood of beast-men in his veins, in Castlevania Judgment, Cornell is transformed into a wolf and unable to change back.

Sypha
Sypha is a tough, strong-willed witch who uses fire, lightning and ice magic. Affiliated with the church, Sypha hides her true nature by wearing priestly clothes. While Sypha has not yet met Trevor, fate has determined that they will defeat Dracula together and then marry.

Wasn't Cornell retconned from the series by IGA?

Cornell is awesome. I actually liked the Castlevania 64 game he was in.

Cornell sorta reminds me of Lizardman of SC fame in the whole "cant change back" way >_>

Cornell ftw

Dear God, what have they done to Grant? He looks awful! I really like that character but he looks like Voldo from SC instead of the lovable, pirate-like rogue I've come to know.

This game looks so bad. Why they chose to do this to Castlevania is beyond me.

Why does Grant look like VOLDO!?!?

Hey they didn't mention Trevor although you can see his portrait there.

Cornell was the only good thing about Legacy of Darkness.

I really don't like the style the characters are done in. It has put me off the game more than the reported rubishness of it.

It was a temporary retcon, apparently. CV64 and Circle of the Moon were brought back into the timeline. Legends is still out in the cold, however.

Also, fuck yes moat shark.

How does IGA let these abominations by? All the characters look so freakin' lame.

I have to say the graphics quality is looking much much much better. I like moat stage in particular, nice atmosphere.

The art style is another story. WHY GRANT WHY!?!

Still no Soma, thats kinda odd, was hoping to see him and Richter in the game. The games looks ok gameplay wise from the latest vids I have seen. But the art I just can't stand it, I'm gonna get the game for sure, but its just a shame cause it looks like it could of been soo much better had they stayed with the normal Castlevania art style.

GameCube controller support = much, much, MUCH more interested in this.

Too bad the camera is going to hamper the experience. :(
