Topic: Lords of Shadow sequel is coming out this year, hinted by David Cox over twitter

I think that only competing with GTAV is plain suicide, and as you can see, there's much, much more.
And of course, it doesn't help that Konami is lauded as the WORST japanese publisher right now (And its PR/marketing team is a joke), so I don't think the gaming population is holding their breath for its conference, and if they do, it's only for a good laugh with some extreeeeeeeeme moments.

Unless LoS is announced at a Console Manufacturer conferenc (unlikely) it will be painfully ignored...
like the first one was

The Konami Conference last year was so disappointing because I actually wanted to see the insanity of 2010's conference.

I'm actually very hyped, have no preconceptions about the series though, always thought Dante was goofy (And only played DMC4, while fun it's a joke after bayonetta).
I think Ninja Theory is an excellent storytelling studio, and matched with Capcom's gameplay, I'm kinda hoping it will shut up those guys arguing over a haircut (which is just fine, BTW)

[Flame]

Dante's entire redesign is nothing more than a self insert of the director.



It's not just the haircut. Im not a Devil May Cry fan, but ive pretty much seen the reaction most of the fans had. They do NOT want this game.

And tbh, while I know nothing about the game, damn if that ain't the most shameless self insert ever.

^ Omg, that's... lol.



One thing that I haven't seen many people mention about LoS that I didn't really like was the weird mount gimmick. Did anyone else find that extremely silly and out of place? Leaping on the back of giant spiders and then somehow controlling them into doing stuff? I also found it kind of boring.

If the character in the next game MUST have a mount for whatever reason, I hope they make it a summon or familiar or something... I dunno...

Anywho, I wonder if Gabriel will be the PC in the next game or if someone else will.  I also wonder what other nods it will give to the main series.

The mounts functioned as glorified keys for whatever door the environment was using to block one's progress. They tried to dress it up by pretending they had some combat utility too, but it was extremely limited in practice and you could never keep a mount around past its very brief pre-determined section. It reached comical heights when Gabriel jumped on top of a spider for the umpteenth time, shot a web to make a bridge, and engaged in celebratory strangulation.

My opinion on the mounts:

God of War did them better.

That's..........true.

[Ahasverus]

I hated mounts, it's the LOS equvalent to a water level.
Get rid of them.

[beingthehero]

Has there ever been a good water level? Besides SotN's caves.

[Flame]

Aria's water level was pretty good...

[Ahasverus]

Aria's water level was pretty good...

Because physics weren't changed significantly, thats why!

[FerryMANsAJEDI]

I didn't like the fact the last half of the game felt like I was doing nothing but boss battles and puzzles. Plus get rid of the titan god of war battles there boring.

[thernz]

Imagine a part in Lords 2 where you ride a mount underwater.
