Topic: I knew it! Castlevania: Lords of Shadow!(SPOILERS HERE, PLZ USE THE SPOILER TAG)

I hope that Gabe gets to use the Vampire Killer. If you hold on the attack button, you'll be able to dangle your whip and somehow this explodes monsters when they touch it.

I was under the impression the Combat Cross becomes the Vampire Killer as the game progresses.

I'm not sure there's even a planned "timeline" for this. Maybe Mercurysteam will go the Final Fantasy route and have each game stand-alone. Dave Cox said that he didn't wanna become "Mr Castlevania". He maybe wanted to do one more game after LoS and then give the torch to someone else. I don't expect LoS to start a whole new timeline.

Good point, I would be surprised if we didn't get another game in this new timeline though.

A first-person shooter game like Gears of War or Vanquist would be great in a Contra!

Gears of War and Vanquish are both THIRD person shooters... just sayin'

I'd like to see Gabe in the second game personally. I think with the way the story will flesh out as well as his personality it will make him a very well-rounded character. Also, depending on "when" the Combat Cross becomes the Vampire Killer in the game...it might be nice to have another game with the Vampire Killer already accessable from the start. Having that plus a few more subweapons the second round too could be fun.

About the now infamous "83 score" here's something actually very interesting some GameFaqs user pointed out:

You can't seriously be that new to how reviews work and how every publication wants to be the first on the shelves with the hottest news. There was a reivew out for Shattered Dimensions a week and a half before the game was to hit the shelves and it was pulled off the website where it was being hosted due to Activision complaining. That was also a US site, and this magazine is in Germany. If the game went gold a week ago, that would give the reviewer two days of non stop playing to get a good handle on the game, then another day to write up an article and have it printed, then another day or two for shipping. It's entirely possible.

So, a rushed review after all? It seems logic to me.. they played safe. 83 is a safe bet for a GOOD game before the "big ones" start releasing their scores, and, as always, what Ign/GS etc gives to the game, the other 80% of the internet will. So, this german magazine just made a safe bet with the review score like saying "This is the lower score it could have so we won't be far of the average and will look cool being the first ones".
And of course, how did a german magazine get the code like... 1 day before printing and having a full complete review? I don't think so...

The only thing I've heard about the Vampire Killer is that it makes an appearance.

As much as I love and want the Vampire Killer to be in there, the combat cross is tailored made and rooted in this games design philosophy (Stake in the hilt, and whatever other upgrades they plan to give it) Could you simply just swap the weapon?

[thernz]

Considering that the game's combat is similar to GoW (S-sorry, Cox), and GoW had multiple weapons.

Mmmm...   Yes, It is correct... such as the use of tactical cover in Gears of War...


The combat cross is the evolution to chain of vampire killer
