Wow last time I checked it was 9 pages, but now it's already in it's twenty's  :o

far from it look like if it is true then MS is stepping their game up. This new engine must really be something.

If I recall right, from the same article that got us talking about LoS 2 being on its way, an image from a presentation showed up, but nobody here talked about it.



Do we know what game that's from? It clearly looks like Lords of Shadow, but I don't ever recall seeing that ingame.

Looks like it's from Clive Barker's Jericho. There's several images of zombies with the same mark on their foreheads when I do a google search.

Oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up, and that explains the lack of anyone clinging to it other than myself.

Was about to say that after reading could not read all of the post it's crazy,but holy hell is it incredible, finally a lively topic  :) yet call me crazy but this was posted on cox's twitter right? Still to think that the engine might out do the los engine and that was a pretty freaking good engine.

Good in textures, awful in framerate. So many people on NeoGAF don't want any game from MS now because of how the framerate was in LoS1.

True even when I downloaded the discs things onto the 360 some parts played so slow I really recall the underground caverns with those blue flames and red gremlins, but when it played at a good frame rate I was in heaven, the fight wit the sliver warrior is my best example. Never in my life have I felt such a dramatic difference in frame rate. Yes 2d game have had them like 2d shooters, but Los was wow and not in a good way maybe too ambitious for the engines own good.

What's amazing is that there are parts in the Necromancer arc that go to 60 fps. The game, on average, locks at about 24 fps, the same framerate most movies are shot in. That's nearly a triple increase! o:

I think the framerate drop is due to the detail in the game. Save for the compressed Bink Video clips, the game is sharp and stunning visually. One of the best looking games this generation.

Honestly, the only framerate issues I've ever had in LoS were in the Necromancer's Abyss. When the horde of zombies appeared and you had to ring the gong or something, my 360 literally CHUGGED because there was so much shit on the screen at once.

Other than that, I really don't recall dealing with anything terrible when it came to the frame rate.

It's not that the framerate drops that's the issue to some, it's the fact the game is at such a low framerate to begin with.

I remember that part. Still for some reason that underground cavern part still sticks to me nowadays, another example of the framerate would be against the black knight that was smooth as chocolate ice cream and it's hot today dang it.

I personally never saw the issue, it looked fine to me. Sometimes I think GAF whines for the sake of whining.

Whew...just managed to run through all of this thread.

Lots of good discussion. I'm hoping this may just be the 2.5D Castlevania I've been waiting for.

I'm curious about the "combat being similar to LoS". Really? In a sidescroller? I mean, it's definitely possible but I kinda would prefer something less combo heavy for a 2.5D sidescroller. If that's what we're getting.

Could be interesting like a fighter or something like the tales of series type of attacks. Not only that but what if it was like this I already bought it, with some 2d gothic scenery, good music I am already there but till I see anything I cannot say the phrase
