Topic: "The Dragon Returns" - Castlevania Lords of Shadow Sequel (HERE BE SPOILER INFO)

[Maedhros]

I wouldn't worry bout Nintendo. They always have exclusives in their pocket and decent third party content.
Sony and Microsoft on the other hand have largely lost me and many others in the last two generations due to largely derivative libraries and most of the good games coming out on PC.

I wouldn't too. As the Wii U is dead already, there's no need to keep hope for it.

And the last third party exclusive it does have is Bayonetta 2. No one wants to make games for it.

I'm pretty sure sony and Microsoft just had record breaking launches on their consoles. Whoever these lost fans are, they apparently are being more than made up for.

If Nintendo doesn't figure something out, it won't be long before Mario makes his way over to the playstation store.

That sounds lovely. If someone finds it please post.

I don't have the full article, but I do have some small pieces of info from it.
One of the relics is called Stolas' Clock, which works just like the stopwatch. Another is called The Seal of Alastor, which when activated grants Dracula all of his abilities at once for a short period of time. More namedropping from past games at least, unless we actually encounter those demons.

I have a subscription but it usually doesn't arrive until the middle of the month.  I doubt it's a review, although, since GI usually doesn't review games that early before they come out especially since LoS2 is two months away.

He probably just accidentally left out the 'p' in 'preview'.

Review is the one with a score.

[Darkweaver]

I just got my issue of Game Informer, which is odd since it usually comes around the middle of the month.

It is a preview, not a review.  I haven't had chance to read it yet but it shows some new screenshots, one of them being Dracula's Dragon Form, which looks awesome.  When I've had chance to read it, I'll update you more.

[Darkweaver]

Okay, I looked it over.  It's only one page.

Some highlights:

- Mist Form allows Dracula to phase through enemies, dodge enemy attacks and pass certain barriers.
- Stealth sections.
- Dracula has no bat form, but can summon bats to distract enemies and glamor them.
- Charming enemies to take control of them.
- Dragon Form.  Details on this are scarce.
- Dracula can use his own blood to manifest his blood whip and can also use it to summon projectile daggers.
- Seal of Alastor unlocks every skill for for each of Dracula's weapons temporarily.
- Stolas' Clock can be used to slow enemies and gain an experience point boost for each attack.
