What do you mean?, I dont see Gabriel ripping his/her's/it's appendix out fron the inside. I say if that doesn't happen, then it's not a rippoff.

Besides, I kinda like the design of the titan, can't wait to see the other two.

I meant the whole thing in this screenshot screams ( Yeah, we've ripped that from GOW series , have a problem pal ? ).

Uncharted, Shadow of collosus, GOW and Prince of Persia. What's next ? .. let me think for a second ...hmmmmm yeah, Big Boss as a revived Dracula and this would be a shocking ending lolz.

Massive Stealth never ends ... NEVER!

I've finished GoW trilogy recently (and PSP version long time ago) and must say - first one was monotonous at times. Second one was very good, with much more variety and even better design. But the third GoW is the real masterpiece amongst action games (like Uncharted 2 for me, but that's other kind of action ;)). And it finally has a plot! First three titles (with PSP one) look like modest prologue to GoW 3.

And I don't want to compare it with Lords of Shadow (not yet). I just want to say, that if new Castlevania will be even a little bit worst than GoW 3, it still will be one hell of a game!

Since Shadow of the Colossus gigantic enemies are quite popular, but it's still not that easy to make such battle unforgettable experience. I hope MercurySteam will do it right.

That's what I was thinking, who cares if it looks like a segment from another game as long as they can pull it off right or make it better. Besides It's not like your fighting 20 of these things thoughout the game, just 4 of them, out of 50 stages.

If it's similar to Shadow or gods of war I don't really care because that looks sweet as anything and at least you actually FIGHT IT and not have to press stupid quick time events like in gow.

This obsession many of you have with comparing games has nothing to do with games quality -which is only thing that really matters-, but has ALL to do with your lack of brains to say anything interesting. Please, in the name of Mankind, stop that nonsense, boring bullshit and start talking interesting stuff we can enjoy and participate or shut the fuck up! I'm totally sick of that bullshit as -I'm sure- many people is.

Woah waoh woah! Wii is not equally as good as the other 2. Almost all the good games are 1st party made, the others... not so much.

Doesn't matter, I still love my Wii every bit as much as I love my other consoles, which makes it equally good. The games that are good are REALLY good. Same with PS3/360 - there are many awful games on them, but the good ones are really good.

Looks cool but once again not very Castlevania-ish.

Ahh I know why, it's the combination of this song im listening to, my ulquiorra farwell gif, your fallen expectations of this game and the heavy rainfall is doing it.  :'(

*sniff* It's ok im cool now, Im cool now. Anyway We've seen Ice and Earth titan's, anyone else expecting a fire and wind titan as well?

Why? Castlevania is many different things and thankfully it's evolving much like anything else.
I don't understand what people mean when they say this doesn't look like Castlevania. Do they all have to look exactly the same, with the same few enemies repeated over and over, year after year? I cannot imagine what Castlevania would look like in 2010, if not like Lords of Shadow. It's almost a bit too much like I've pictured a next-gen Vania. They shouldn't be afraid to experiment even more with this oooold franchise.
