Konami's PR team are tracking Bergaron down :( They want to fire him/cut it from the company. Let's pray for him. We owe him a lot (and they owe him a lot of sales too).

If Konami or MS fire me without be one of its employees, it is certainly a "magic" company. Do not worry, there's an equal chance they'll do something like finding an honest politician in Spain

Jesus, the full version of the Toymaker fight theme is awesome. Carmilla's got a pretty nice one too.

Also, about that "Castlevania" track... looking forward to whenever that plays since it's amazing. Unsurprisingly, those tiny little Amazon snippets don't do these justice.

I just want to spend the rest of the night picking out some tunes but I'm busy. Shit. By the way, does anyone know which track is the one that played in the VGA trailer?

Looks like that Edge score turned out to be a 4/10.

After listening to the full soundtrack, I have to say that I L-U-V-D it. Essentially, if you liked LoS's OST, you'll dig this one. I really liked the darker vibe. And it really is much more electronic. It actually reminded me a bit of the music from the Soul Reaver games. Great music there too. I also found the score had more movement. Lots of drums and rhythmic synths driving things along.

For someone who likes to blast instrumental music while working, this soundtrack is a must have. Its muey bueno!!!

I read back a little and saw some mention of a possible edge score, but didn't see much details on the when/where/how. Anyone mind elaborating?

Why is this site so slow? jesus.

The site suffers from too many people accessing it. There has been a large quantity of guests and new users registering here. I think it always happens when a new game is about to be released.
Just relax a bear with it until all the hype dissipates and we're back to our boring normal forum activities.

Hello again Bergaron!

As for the soundtrack, I'll just wait for it to appear on youtube cause I am too lazy to wait for downloads. hehehe.

On a side note: I also am wondering why is Konami Japan not promoting LOS2 on their main site. They are pushing MGSV instead.
I was hoping that they'll have some sort of event at Konami Style, but there is none. Does this mean that the release date for the Japanese translation is later than the worldwide release on Feb 25?

Nope. It's 2014 TBA. Probably, March or April.

Wow, that's pretty harsh. These first two reviews are not very good PR for this game.

I don't know why I had this suspicion.

Everything comes full circle
