the wintery village kinda reminds me of Wraithmarsch in Fable II. Except not at all. Though when I was playing through Fable II, I was kinda amazed at how scary Wraithmarsch was, and that no 3D Castlevania has ever managed to come close to that. It's like the scariest place in any videogame IMO. Also, the winter lodge moment, if anyone remembers that. CREEPY!

Anyway, the new screens look great. Cannot wait. Though pushing that statue towards the hole seems like a bad idea. The hole is too small!

After all these pics, I still have very little reference to what game play looks like, other than combat. I want to see some exploration and platforming that lasts more than three seconds.

Those are awesome pics. Great stuff. The other interview too, with a bit more on the combat system.

One other good part, those backgrounds look dark and gothic-like, like I was hoping for.

Those armor Knights look like they're gonna fuck shit up.

Edit: Editing Gabriel and, wait a minute, who's that?

It's like a monk or something, or a LOS perhaps?? No, it doesn't look too menacing, I just can't guess  ???
Edit: It has a kind of cloak so it could be a Brotherhood leader-master.

Based on the armor, it looks like it'll be another person from the order.

I was thinking the same thing too.

Anyone who still says this game doesn't look anything like Castlevania is simply crazy or far too attached to the Japanese oriented style.

Absolutely lovely designs, very gothic centric and Castlevania.

Indeed... these screens more than put my worries to rest.
