I can't help but think "God of War" when i see the gameplay.

Well, what else can be said? DMC started it, GoW made this genre the "in" thing, and now everybody would like a "piece of the (over-the-top) action" genre for themselves.

Besides, it's not like this is much in the way of new territory for CV, either. Even the PS2 games tried to do something like this, they just didn't have much in the way of funding (and weren't much fun either).

In any case, 2010 is already shaping up to be pretty awesome, with both this and Metroid: Another M throwing their hats into the ring of Stylish Action, and with plenty of swagg on both ends...

I was like: "[tornado fang] YEAH! PATRICK STEWART!!!" Then I saw the gameplay and I was like: "Ewww... 3D. D:"

I'm 50/50 right now. >>;

i don't really know what to say, really. i can tell this wasn't originally going to be a Castlevania. it's missing something i can't quite put my finger on.

and it doesn't look like this has anything to do with the Alucard game. did they scrap the original idea, or are there going to be two games coming out?

It's missing the dark gothy atmosphere.
But this also makes it new and exciting!

Can Kojima succeed where others failed? Will this be the first 3D Castlevania with gameplay fun that lasts longer than one half-assed playthrough?

Actually, I think the 3d castlevania games on PS2 weren't that bad at all, but I am one easy guy to please so.....

So I'm sure I'll like this one too.

Castlevania 64 was awesome, [tornado fang] you all.

Satoryu · **Reply #157 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:09:56 PM

Legacy of Darkness is more awesome, though.

Hmm, I can't help but ask one thing, if Michiru Yamane were to compose the ST for this game, will be AS or MORE badass than LoI's ST?

A little bump. I'm aware we don't have much news on this by now, but we might give this thread a little heartbeat with the usual stuff:

What do you expect? Whyt do you hope for? What did you like so far?

After watching the trailer once more I think I saw some similarities between gabriel and Simon Belmont from CV2. What if this ends up being a CV2 remake? Collecting Drac's remains and revive him... just to kill him? I mean the game obviously DOES revolve around ressurection.

I'm more curious on the canon-icity; considering how the whip is like in this installment

In the extended trailer. Gabriel says at the end he will make sure that the Belmontclan will be "whiped" out

Acid · **Reply #162 on:** September 03, 2009, 02:18:17 PM

Didn't even notice that, gotta watch it again now.

I'm fairly certain that's not Gabriel. It's not clear who it is (probably Dracula), but Gabriel it isn't.

On a general Castlevania note:

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow GC 09: Producer Interview

Satoryu · **Reply #171 on:** September 10, 2009, 06:42:46 AM

interesting that they studied C1 and SC4 when making the game. there better be a lot of swinging off hooks.

Acid · **Reply #172 on:** September 10, 2009, 02:03:20 PM

I liked how the game is supposed to focus on platforming and exploring rather than fighting.

And calling it now: Gabriel's wife gets resurrected with the devil mask and becomes Castlevania's first female Dracula.

i dunno about that. i'd go with a safer bet: she becomes Carmilla.

Just saying. LoI and CoD didn't have much exploring or platforming as far as I remember. And the stages were kinda boring too. Just halls and corridors.
