Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

[Nate]

Okay, I just saw the trailer for this. Sign me up. It looks fantastic. This is the game Bob mentioned in the E3 2009 thread, the Castlevania done by Kojima Productions.

Anyway here's the trailer:

Patrick Stewart? Very yes. The music is fantastic, and the game looks good. It's hard to release a 3D action game these days without drawing comparisons to God of War, and well, yeah. It looks like God of War. But that isn't a bad thing by any stretch. God of War is great. It's just now it's in the 16th century (or whatever century this takes place in). The atmosphere is good, the music helps set the stage, and the story APPEARS to, at first, not be "Dracula resurrected let's go kill him again!" I mean yeah I'm sure at some point in the game Dracula will resurrect (I mean there's a Belmont in the game so it's a given) but it doesn't seem to be the main focus.

I wholeheartedly approve, and will almost assuredly purchase this game when it comes out (unless the reviewers tear it apart).

Castlevania.
Not a side-scroller.
Changed gameplay.
Graphics not up to PS3 standards.
Entire game doesn't take place in Castlevania.

Worst Castlevania game ever.

I know I was upset when I found out that none of the game Metroid Prime would take place on Metroid but it turned out okay.

I hope this game ruins friendships like Final Fantasy XIII is doing.

If so, it will be the greatest Castlevania ever.

Silly Nate, everyone knows that Metroid is the name of the character you play as, not the planet! (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

Still not as cool as that captain Halo guy.

And yes, I very much want this game.

Which reminds me... hey, uh, Warren Ellis, weren't you working on something involving this series... well...?

I have never played any of the other games, but this has gotten my attention.
