They either end up in the "Konami Museum" at their HQ for display (much like the props for the Batman movies end up at the Warner Brothers Museum), in their storage warehouse to be recycled, or in a giant bin in my closet along with every other discarded Konami Castlevania product  ;)

Hmm... looks like he reads the boards:
Those were some of our key problems with the game:
-The wonky framerate
-The over-reliance on QTE's
-The fixed camera (though this wasn't too big of an issue)

I hope he doesn't forget the other issues, though:
-The boring music (I don't think he's gonna do anything about it though)
-The barrel-breaking (not sure what's being done about it)
-The lack of actual platforming and the overuse of shimmying.

I think that was it, wasn't it?  I mean, everything else was pretty ok.

That has been paltfforming for 10 years (since the Sands of Time)

These are dark times...


Fine. Let's call it ledging. (Ledgeforming?)

Yes, there you go. And for the record, F~U~C~K ledging.

Did I read somewhere that there will be various Belmonts you fight throughout the game or did I just make that crap up?

Color me happy my 500th post

Indeed, A-Yty-sama, however I believe the crowning achievement I could possibly get for my collection would have to be the L.E. Vampire Killer gold cartridge I showcased a while back, of which only 2 known physical copies exist (I'm HOPING there's a few more). That, or the SotN beta cartridge for the Game.com handheld. Or the Castlevania Resurrection beta CD. STAY TUNED...


Hell, I'm still looking to commission someone to build my Alucard statue, I'm dying to see that realized :/

As far as I know, there's no official cover out yet.

So yeah, that new art is DAMN COOL.

Ok the are TWO pre-oficial cover, that is really the same picture. I haven´t a link to image but is one picture with Gabriel and the wolfs. There are two version one complete and one like this (the middle)

http://www.amazon.com/Castlevania-Lords-Shadow-2-Playstation-3/dp/B0088MVP3S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371074818&sr=8-1&keywords=lord+of+shadows+2

This one actually require skills. The "platforming" in modern games don't. It's simply automatic.

Finally got some confirmation that we do not see everything Dracula has to offer us in the tutorial, but only his 3 main weapons (some combos etc).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQQwlldropE

@3:35 that very attractive women ask him a very attractive question and he gives a very attractive answer. It confirms to me that there is more to Dracula then just what we saw in the demo, I know some of you might think "Well I could have told you that", but I needed more.

Im hyped

Yeah he says somewhere in one of those two vids up there that there are actually more sub-weapons than the first game.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.
