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

Finally, they were surprised that there was so much interest in this game given that it was 3D and not 2D, and are wondering why the fans didn't come out more strongly for Harmony of Despair like they are about LoS--especially since LoS doesn't fit in canon and wasn't made in Japan. Ultimately, there are no regrets about the review given. Many of their comments are spoken in a jokey fashion.

Hahaha oh wow. I hate IGN.

David changed his Twitter picture to something most peculiar.


If you already know the ending then you can see the hints in it. I wonder if it has anything to do with the DLC?

^ Cool pic

I can't believe anyone still reads IGN after that God Hand review.

[thernz]

Nice pic! I actually like it more than the LE cover art.

[uzo]

Badass art.

[DragonsAndCarpetBags]

I thought the limited ed might be larger. The art book must be like a little booklet.....
 Nice picture, going on my desktop.

What?! Like seriously?
They think Castlevania fans will give more support for the half-assed recycled game, rather than something new, just because this game was made in Japan and somehow connected with canon (that is questinable statement on it's own)?!
They think quite low of CV fans then...

O_o

That is actually the most stupid thing I've read all year. WHAT are they talking about? Castlevania gets a big budget reboot in 3D, and we're not supposed to care? LoS is one of the most drastic things that has happened to the saga in years, and IGN is surprised we're keeping a close eye on it? We're only supposed to care about recycled sprites? Why would we "come out more strongly" for a game that isn't even that good? Just because it's made in Japan? Where on earth did they come to this conclusion? They know absolutely nothing about the Castlevania fanbase, or any other fanbase for matter. This is just plain ignorant. In order to call yourself a video game journalist, you should know the in's and out's of not only the games you're reviewing, but the industry as a whole including the gamers. These people are also their readers. I bet they're too ignorant to even know who's reading their site. And it's not just Castlevania. IGN has done this many times in the past.

Is there a larger version of the new Artwork?

[crisis]

seems that GAMESTOP is having a midnight release.. which means I'm gonna be pulling an all-nighter.

Shiiiiiit, I dont think I can get Wednesday off.

Man, this wait is getting unbearable. All the discussion has shifted to heavy spoilers at this point (which I dare not take part of), and speculation and related discussion in general has all but dried up.
