Topic: Lords of Shadow, anyone?

I don't know why it's not called Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, but it's got to be a CV game. The imagery has Iga written all over it and why would Konami make a whip-weilding, cross-bearing, monster-slaying game that is not a CV game???

The imagery has Iga written all over it ...

Not sure what you mean by that.

If it ain't Castlevania, maybe this will be released in US/EU as.... INDIANA JONES BEGINS.

Just kidding.
Hmmm.. this trailer has got me really excited. I mean... what the hell is it???  I wanna know everything about it, and I wanna know it NOW. I'm gonna watch it again. And again.

And again.

I hope it's connected to Castlevania, but if it isn't it may very well be a cool next gen 3D action game, which is a genre I usually enjoy.

this is a test game to prepare for the next 3-D Castlevania.

either that or the title is a placeholder for an actual CV game.

but I would guess they are saving the 1999 game as a 3-D title.  and then a 2-D version of the story.

If it is CV-related, the whip is a dead give-away.

There was this article I read that was linked at GameFaqs. It mentioned three interesting bits about the game:

1. It was set during the middle ages(duh).
2. It's a sorta dark fairy tale(hmmmm).
3. It takes place in southern Europe.

Japanese plot writers and designers are capable of mixing Catholicism and christian symbols with almost every other theme... greek mythology, giant robots, space invaders, mutants, genetics... and, although I

Such symbols invoke drama about the character... I guess...

I haven't seen any screen shots of the game, but maybe its a "practice" game for the PS3 that will pave the way for the next Castlevania game, in a similar manner in which Nano Breaker was "practice" for Curse of Darkness and used the same engine?  I'll have to keep my eye on it at any rate.

the only way this would be a castlevania titles is if:
a: there's no way that was a belmont

b: if it is, this takes place during the period where they couldn't use the vampire killer, and thus came up with a temporary new weapon.

his weapon is a chain that comes from out of, and retracts back into, the cross he holds, like a swords hilt.

Ivy copycat?

Castlevania or not, that trailer is fucking awesome!

I honestly doubt it's a CV game. The game's website says it comes out in a little over 50 days, which would mean an October release. Judgment and Ecclesia both come out in October, and absolutely nothing has been said of this Shadow game. It would be practically suicide for IGA to be working on 3 games at once and hope to have quality games of all three.

Sure it may be a CV clone, but this is only a teaser trailer. Definitely very impressive, though. I'll be checking this out.

i'm sure its not a castlevania game.
but the guy in the face reminds me of conan a little bit thinking old castlevania who looks like conan.lol
but we know its not castlevania even tho we want it to be. :
and it wouldn't be that hard to be working on 3 games being judgment isn't a real game, but half ass trash.

anyway can't wait to play this bad ass looking game
