Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

[BBboy20]

The reason I mentioned about that is because, from the official website, Lords of Shadow take place in the 11th century. It would imply that while the gameplay be the indication of being "reborn", the plot would act as a prequel to everything we've come to known, rather it is related to the previous series or not.

Final Box art revealed.

Kinda liked the old placeholder better, but this one still oooozes of classic Castlevania.

Good thing I have a nice printer


By the way, random note; apparently the 360 version will be 2 discs, but disc 1 will contain a specific Install feature that lets you play the entire game from disc 2 (Forza did a similar thing, and Square-Enix/Tri-Ace should be ashamed of themselves for not doing it with Star Ocean 4)

It now has a LE: http://www.gamerzines.com/ps3/news/l...ectors-ed.html

*at EB's site* Jesus, that new 360 bar is really fugly. Might get the PS3 version just for better box aesthetics.

Honestly, I cannot wait for a PS3 version of Castlevania. This will be the first one that I've played that will be in a 3D world. I'm so used to them all being flat screened, jump around and kill things type of games.

I always thought Metroid made the transition into the 3D world fairly well, so I'm hoping this will pretty much do the same.

I was actually playing the Dawn of Sorrow one for the DS just a few minutes ago. I really do love the ones for the DS and PSP. Excellent travel games or ways to pass the time when you're trapped in the break room with boring coworkers.

Well Konami tried to break CV into the 3D world since the N64 days. No dice.

However, like the successful Metroid Prime trilogy, LoS is being developed by a Western dev. So maybe history will repeat itself... here's hoping.

Judging from the gameplay video, this is gonna just be a God of War clone. That's really disappointing.

I hope they don't get rid of the exploration element of the game.

I hope they don't get rid of the exploration element of the game.

Well you have a in-game map of the whole land, so that's a good sign. Apparently you can go back and explore every level (and not just by starting a new game lol) so they never seal off previous areas at certain points in the game. Also, there's supposedly 50 levels, so explore indeed.

*EDIT*

Here's a nice interview with producer David Cox I read a few months back. I was worried at first about the music of this CV game, until I heard it that is. That spanish composer rocks, I can't wait to hear a track like Vampire Killer(Apparently the producer tweeted recently that many of the old favorite songs will be included in CV:LOS).

*EDIT*
Kojima: Japanese MGS cast will voice the Japanese version of Lords of Shadow. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/111/1112822p1.html

This is promising, indeed: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/26/ca...rst-two-hours/

The article is a preview of the first 2 hours of the game.

Rise dark lord....

Once again, it's time for your Castlevania news of the month. First off, here's what you get with the limited edition in case you missed it.

That includes the game (obviously), a cool case, artbook and soundtrack.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! If you pre-order CV from gamestop (any version) you get this sweet combat cross t-shirt, which is just icing on the cake especially if you're getting the limited edition which has it's wealth of goodies.

Also, there's been a slight change in the LE cover. This is the final version.

They just used the regular cover's background.
Also David Cox has hinted at one last trailer being released within the next two weeks, as well as a demo coming out five days before the game's release (Which happens to be my birthday :p).

7m35s of Castlevania greatness with the A list in Japanese voice acting.

Rather impressive, actually. +The mix of "Beginning" at 6m22s = hawt <3

[A-J]

eh, somehow I didn't see this being fully localized in Japanese for some reason, good on Konami I guess.

The character models look superb, can't wait. It's coming out like soon.. like in 3 weeks even !
