Here's a nice tidbit:
Q: Is this the end for “traditional” Castlevania?
Dave Cox: No, it’s the rebirth of “traditional” Castlevania.
watching the AVGN series on Castlevania, it made me want a sequel to Super Castlevania IV. which is what a rebirth of traditional castlevania would beHa, I just watched that yesterday

Konami should make Castlevania 5 for XBL ala Mega Man 9

first LOS Xbox disc will offer an install option on the in-game menu, allowing gamers to play the full title off the second disc.
It should have had an open world to explore!
I dont understand why people think this new 3D vania will be better than what IGA used to release? Better production yes, but gameplay will be shitty. Atleast IGA's games has pretty damn good gameplay. Even his butchered 3D castlevania games are campy fun.

It's a tutorial. It has tutorial messages. World does not end.
Guys, I'm colorblind. Who's responsible for how boring that looks: me or the environment artists?If all you're seeing is shades of brown that's not because you're colorblind.
Maybe the game can be subtitled "Attack of the Browny Browns"
Can any of you honestly say you don't want to play this:

It looks like a competent 3d action game that carries the Castlevania name well. Will hopefully sell 100x more than the DS games and make sure there's no more metroidvanias ever.
So basically you want more throwaway GoW clones than awesome side-scrolling badass games?

If you take Castlevania pre-SoTN and made it into 3d, even if GoW/DMC never existed, it would still look pretty much like this because that's just how CV translates to 3D. What the hell do you guys want a 3D CV to look like? Metroid Prime? Tomb Raider? The only really GoW clone stuff is the health fountains and arena fights. I wouldn't call it being "cinematic" GoW inspired, since every game on earth is trying to be cinematic these days.So this gets a pass for having shitty combat because its Castlevania?
Still looks like shit. Real talk, what is your opinion on GoW?

This is a 3D action game though and it looks worse than most games in that genre. I'm not gonna compare it to 2D beatemups.If you take Castlevania pre-SoTN and made it into 3d, even if GoW/DMC never existed, it would still look pretty much like this because that's just how CV translates to 3D.

How is this combat any worse than Scott Pilgrim, 2d CV, Final Fight, Dororo, or any beat 'em up in the last 20 years?
And doesn't every 2d CV get a pass for its shitty level design because it's Castlevania?

lololol the horse riding segment, hahah!

Re: Metroidvania. Most people don't complain about Iga's Metroid clones because they are essentially the only team keeping that subgenre alive. Who else is making Metroid games? There was that one Spider-Man game that was kinda like Metroid, and Shadow Complex. That's about it.

Bayonetta is a Devil May Cry clone with a bullet time gimmick thrown in and people are declaring it game of the year, game of the generation, game of the forever. Clearly, cloning something is not a big issue when the game you are cloning is actually great.The controls in Bayonetta also feel extremely fluid, unlike DMC which is stiff as fuck.

I agree. Let's hijack the thread and talk about Ghost Trick. I didn't even know it was coming out until a few weeks ago.
PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to download the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow demo today - a week before everyone else, the European PlayStation blog announced
