Xbox 360 Is anyone else upset about the overhaul of the Castlevania story with this game?

Don't get me wrong here guys. As a game, Castlevania Lords of Shadow is great. However, that's not where my concern lies.

Along with handing over the game to a western developer, that meant also handing over the lore and history of the franchise. And as a result, instead of adding to the history, Mercury Steam decided to scrap the hold history and rewrite it. Which I personally dislike. They can mess with the gameplay all they want, but destroying the lore and history is a bad idea in my opinion.

If I knew that was going to happen, I would have preferred the game just be called "Lords of Shadow" like it was originally intended instead of Konami tacking on the Castlevania franchise name to make it more appealing.

Cross - What was overhauled? I'm not familiar with the Castlevania franchise prior to the release of Lords Of Shadow. What did Konami/Mercury Steam change from between the older games and this one?

Previous castlevania games have been about the belmont clan taking down dracula. Lords of shadow feels like a completely different beast imo. For starters, there are very very few vampires in the game, AT ALL. And the castles that are so predominate in the older games are all but removed in this one.
