Title: Castlevania Lord of Shadows for PS3 and 360?
Post by: castle007 on June 01, 2009, 11:20:22 PM
Stolen from neogaf

here is a trailer from last year:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_M2InkAoBI

I have no idea where this is all coming from. There are no official sources to indicate that this is true. If it is true then that  might mean that they just took this Lords of Shadow game and added the castlevania name to it. That would be a bunch of fucking bullshit.

What happened to the SOTN sequel that was hinted at in the teaser last year??  ???


I really hope that this isn't true


Formats: PS3, X360
Out: 2010

Fuck

I really hope that they didn't just attach the castlevania name to it and that it is it!!!

I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand this will likely be better than whatever IGA's 3D would have ended up as. But on the other hand this is an entirely unrelated game being given the Castlevania name as an afterthought, so I'm doubtful this game will be very "castlevania-like" at all. Plus the developers history isn't very reassuring.

Ok, I am starting to change my mind!!

If Kojima is in charge of this game, then I am definitely on board!!!  :D

Bloodlines is awesome.  It seems like they're putting the lesser played games on the PSP, which will get them even less plays.

I think it either that they found out that the info they got was false or Konami simply asked them to remove it because the game hasn't been officially announced yet

the game was just announced at the Konami conference!!!!!

narration by patrick stewart

the G4 guys are saying that it looks unbelievable!!

Produced by Dave Cox from Konami Europe

 an action game to explore a OPEN WORLD with magical elements. Not connected to other CVs, and it is a reimagining of the franchise. (God of War style)

The story is about a hero looking for retribution and salvation.

Guess it'll be better than the 3D IGAvanias, but that's really, really, really, really, really, really, really not saying much in this game's favor.  Open-world?  Konami YUROP?  No connection to the other games?  "God Of War style?"

I'm starting to wish IGA WAS involved with this game.   :-\

Seriously!!! At least IGA's console CV was going to be a SOTN sequel  :D

new trailer

It looks like an action game, yeah? it's like God of War or X-Men Origins.  Nothing to get me too excited, but it looks pretty good at least.

That actually looks better than I expected. Seems more like a traditional Castlevania game gone 3d. Less about battling through rooms and more about traversing landscapes to get to the castle.

The game looks amazing!!  :D I was a bit skeptical at first!! I guess the mask will be used to revive dracula?? Or maybe the main guy will become Dracula?

That actually looks pretty cool. Castlevania of War, pretty much.

I wonder how much as been changed to actually tie into the whole Dracula/Belmont mythos?

Looks pretty good, certainly an improvement over the other 3D CV games... but I'm very apprehensive about "open world", and I hope there is some tightly-designed platforming action and it's not just GOW-style button mashing.

Simply amazing. I always wanted a re-skinned God of War game with Castlevania textures and models and BAM, HERE IT IS BITCH!

Made by none other than Konami itself :hyper :drool :omg

If by "Konami itself" you mean "the spanish team behind Clive Barker's Jericho", then sure.

Finally there's a good action Game that isn't the pretentious GOW. Seriously, I had enough of Jaffe's "We're using actual mythology books to make our hardcore R rated "game"" during GoW1 to put me off that button mashing series forever. Didn't play GoW2 or the psp one and I won't play 3. I will play this. It's been way too long since we've had a good non-metroidvania CV title.

Jericho had some potential, but it ultimately became much too repetitive while dispatching enemies never became particularly satisfying.  I'm interested in this, certainly...

I just noticed something in the trailer. During the last part when Gabriel is standing across from a werewolf, you can spot a burning blue flame in the background. Could it be a candle stand?

Post by: BlueTsunami on June 04, 2009, 10:46:42 PM
The trailer feels very Kojima'ish. Showcasing the best parts, stylistically cut very well and powerful score (basically a trailer that's good for any medium).

I'm personally hoping it isn't a straight up GoW rip when it comes to level design/exploration. I would love if there's lots of 3D Platforming and non linearity. If this shit is made up of monster closets leading up to a boss then  :yuck

I am excited about this game.. but I am pissed off because I have been assuming that Konami was working on the SOTN sequel with Alucard.  I waited for 8 months only to find out that they handed the franchise to another team.
