Voice acting talent is impacting character development in a big way
While there was aton of newsaboutCastlevania: Lords of Shadow 2a few weeks back at San Diego Comic Con, we did have a few more tidbits to share from a joint session with the voice of Gabriel Belmont/Dracula, Robert Carlyle, and producer Dave Cox.
According to Cox, in the early planning stages, “[Gabriel Belmont] was much more of a big, muscly, barbaric, almost Conan-style character, and when Robert came on board, we realized we needed to make him more of an every-man, a more realistic character,” to which Carlyle agreed, “This team was really open to interpretation and gave me a lot of leeway to give this performance some gravitas and emotional weight that it needed.”
Also of interest was where the character of Dracula stands today in the development process: “… In fact, we’re still tweaking the character on a daily basis to establish the character as fitting Robert’s performance.”
Would a muscly, barbaric Gabriel Belmont have worked for you? Has Robert Carlyle’s voice done much for you inLords of Shadowand what you’ve seen and heard fromLords of Shadow 2?
