Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

[BBboy20]

The review is up at GameTrailers, I forget the score, but it's good and the review is mostly positive too.

7.9

That would seem to suck if the platforming is indeed a bit glitchy.

[Rombie]

Yeah, I think that wouldn't have been as bad if the exploration was a bit more clear from what's shown/said.

IGN Review: 7.5/10

Por que!?

The Collector's Edition is indeed delayed and I just got a mail at work (the "other" work) saying all dirty pre-orders would be cancelled 'cause management decided we don't want them...

Sponge Dogs!

Interesting comments from David Cox.

Collectors edition is delayed last time I checked David Cox's twitter.
Standard Version is coming out first.

I wonder why it's delayed over there?

Btw, I played the demo and I thought it was cool that Spoiler:

they mention Rinaldo Gandolfi as the creator of the combat cross, blessing it with holy water and such. That was a nice nod to the old story arc. So, so far we have Rinaldo Gandolfi as the creator of the whip like in the original storyline, Camilla and Cornell the man beast from Legacy of Darkness (who has been reincarnated in such a badass barbarian form lol).

I paid the rest of my Collector's Edition off today, now I'm looking forward to sporting that T-shirt.






It's getting about that time folks...

Gabriel possibly being the bastard child of the Conqvist family, Mathias Conqvist in Lament of Innocence eventually became Dracula

Indeed. well, i got my collector's edition monday night (technically tuesday) and the pre-order shirt rocks, it's black instead of gray. I'm currently on chapter 7, and i'll just say it's one of the best games I've ever purchased, and would advise others to do the same.

More publishers need to offer more kick-ass shirts for free if we want to get their game.

GT.com did say it changes everything or something so I'll guess I have to see it for myself.

Konami reassures the world that the EURO CE still happening, but indeed delayed 'cause of manufacturing problems.

I can't wait too long ;_;

In case anyone is interested in spoiling themselves...

BEWARE! Obvious spoilers...hence the spoiler tags and the above sentence lol.

Spoiler:

1.Gabriel never brings Marie back...

2. Zobek is Death/Lord of the Necromancers

3. Satan kills Death

4. Gabriel is brought back to life after being killed by Death, and is now immortal.

5. Gabriel fights Satan...yes, that guy (who is potrayed by Jason Issacs).

6. Gabriel releases the spirts trapped on earth into the heavens.

7. Gabriel tells Marie that he does not wish to live without her, she forgives him and
ascends into heaven.

8. Gabriel falls to his knees in agony, he has saved the world but now he must live an eternal life of misery without his beloved.

9. End credits

10. Epilogue - A man in a robe enters an old cathedral, the man removes his hood - it's Zobek.

11. Gabriel sits upon a throne in the shadows, Zobek ask for his assistance...apparently Satan is planning his return. Gabriel screams that he no longer goes by that name, it is now Dracul.

12. He attacks Zobek, Zobek escapes his grasp and throws him through the cathedral window.

13. Dracul falls into the streets of what looks like present day New York or some other big city, cars are everywhere.

14. Zobek tells Dracul that he knows what he wants, and Dracul replies "I cannot die...yet, I cannot live". Dracul vanishes.

15. Zobek says, "It will soon be over, old friend" or something like that, than walks down strolls down the sidewalk into the night while citizens are gathered around wandering what the hell just happened lol.

Now...while this was pretty cool, it leaves alot of questions concerning the next installment. For instance, will you play as Gabriel/Dracul? How will a Belmont slay Dracul, if Dracul is the Belmont (unless he somehow fathered kids without Marie). A Castlevania game in modern times? Strange. Perhaps you will play as Rinaldo, since there are several messages during the game that hint that he is still alive, and found a way to be immortal. I don't know. I'll just have to wait for someone else to beat the game or get impatient and read this regardless lol.
