Even though I loved the game, I have to say...

(click to show/hide)

...the TGS trailer was a mistake of WTF proportions. It focused heavily on sequences that were in the final stretch of the game, and even showed the last boss himself. Hell, the music that was playing throughout the whole thing was the goddamn final boss music. It was a well directed trailer to be sure and really hyped me up, but seriously, who the hell does that? I can't imagine Cox approving that.

Kojima directed the TGS trailer and his trailers tend to spoil the plot. (see the 12 minute MGS3 trailer)

I know that.

The trailers for both LoI and CoD both had the final boss music in them.

I still love the TGS trailer, it was much better than any of the trailers we saw in English.

Finally, I've been looking for these pictures for a while now.  Thanks.

[Dremn]

Holy friggin crap all of that artwork is gorgeous <3

Mercury Steam has some incredibly talented artists

[Oralox]

i was gonna show that earlier but you beat me to it.
Anyway that artwork of slogra confirms he wasn't supposed to be an enemy in the game.

Also one more things
wasn't the concert art for the black knight used to look like dullahan?
I remember seeing something with him looking like dullahan when the first artwork for lords of shadow arrived for kotaku.

[Kingshango]

Yep that is some impressive artwork.

I also spoted some things that didn't make it in like the Dragon Zombie(not the titan one) and the Dullahan.

[Ahasverus]

The dragon Corpse was used as decoration at the swamp.
Dullahan? Where is it? 

[Kingshango]

It's in the early concept artwork when the game was called Lords of Shadow, it's known as the "Black Knight" but this one had no head.

[e105beta]

Goodness, those last few drawings!

If the second game goes with that feel, I don't see how anybody could be disappointed.




Just imagine playing as Simon Belmont and walking up to Dracula, sitting on his throne and shaded in the darkness.

IMO, make the game feel a lot like it did in the after credits scene, and that would make a spectacular game.

[crisis]

Y'see, the official artbook contains none of these =(


maybe the Japanese edition will though?

I'm speechless. Let me know if it causes same effect on you

That was actually some decent trolling. The guy sounds legitimately stupid, yet you know he can't be for real.
