For whatever reason, the U.S. demo comes out on Tuesday...which is release day. Why they would put out a demo the same day as the official release is beyond all of us.

I just created a EU account to get access to the demo like everyone else did. Works like a charm. And even if you don't want to keep the European account on your HDD you can delete it after you download the demo.

Just create your EU account, start downloading the demo. (Make sure it's downloading in the background) Sign out and back into your US account. When the demo finishes downloading install it from your US account. Once it's done you can delete your second EU if you want and there ya go! EU demo on a US PSN account.

I know it's nothing new but I like to have a streamline XMB without any extra accounts and whatnot. One thing I still can't get over is how AMAZING this game looks. Watching it in a video is one thing. But seeing it on a big ol' HDTV with some surround sound is definately an experience to say the least. I remember after the first wave of enemies I just sat there and admired the scenery before even touching the health font.

A little help with the demo guys

How do you get over 400 exp in the demo to get that 5 dagger throw?
I heard somewhere here that you could keep fighting the werewolves at the horse stage.

edit:
nvm, I figured it out
forget about blocking when it asks you to

Thunderbrand, if you dont mind me asking...

For those of us that have seen all of the videos/screens, and are feeling spoiled, in your eyes have we even begun too see all the environments, monsters, etc? Or have we just begun to scratch the surface? ;D

Any word on how this game supposedly connects to the canon?  :-\

The creator of the combat cross is the same man(or man with the same name) who made the whip of alchemy from lament of innocence.

Also, see Thunderbirds spoiler thread, there are theories that the game could fit into the main timeline despite it being non canon but it's speculation at this point.

Rinaldo? I'm confused is this a reboot or a is it just erasing LoI as the first chronological game? If that's the case then what happened to such an awesome weapon as the CX? Don't answer that Thunderbrand or anyone who knows, I'm just speculating.

I'd say just scratching the surface. From all the vids/trailers/screens that have been released, we've seen quite a bit. However, it's just a small fraction. There is A LOT in the guide that was not shown in anything released so far. This game is huge.

Rinaldo?!?! (that could have used a spoiler tag, or been in the other section). Oh, well. But my boy Rinaldo gets a shout-out?! AWESOME!!! One of my favorite CV support characters. That's crazy. I could totally see him making the Combat Cross, too. He's like the MacGyver of Castlevania.  ;D

Some new footage.
Castlevania Lords of Shadow Climbing Gameplay

The music is really growing on me. The more I hear of it the more I want the OST.

MOVE AWAY NOW
Platforming's cool. Nice to have dynamic obstacles to break up the pace. I wonder how well the calmer pieces of platformings will mesh with the fast paced combat.
Music's okay. Does what it's supposed to do. Not particularly interesting in trying to do what it wants to do, but it does it.

cool
