Ok skipping the throne room battle and watching from then on, a few things come to mind:
1. It seems that it
IS possible to clear that jump at the beginning, im sure there's a technique that lets you clear bigger gaps that you'll get later on. (And thank god that there isn't an invisible wall blocking the path forcing you to do all the shimmying over again, that would have been infuriating.)
2. The respawn system works exactly how I predicted it a few pages back. (I have a feeling a few people won't like how it works)
3. The titan climb actually seems tense with the golden paladin shooting at you and the shimmying (love it or hate it) looks faster this time. Oh and not a single "HOLD RT TO HOLD ON" prompt was seen.
4. Dracula's method of taking down the titan by throwing up blood on the core was the oddest thing I've seen a vampire do and I've seen vampires do odd things.
5. GAHHHH I HATE IT WHEN THEY END A DEMO LIKE THAT!!
All in all I like what I saw, the only thing that bugged me was obviously the QTE's (especially when the titan was slamming him against the castle) but's that's to be expected. I cannot wait to see more, hopefully the next time we see it (knowing Konami it's gonna be a long time from now) we'll see more of the open world exploration.
