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

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

Iga should be pleased with you

t-that's not very prunyuu~ 

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

My opinion on the mounts:

God of War did them better.

Dante's Inferno did 'em better as well.
CV Fans should play that game.  It feels pretty CV-ish at times.

[shelverton.]

That reminds me that Dante's Inferno is sitting on my shelf since well over a year. I haven't even removed the plastic. I'm playing it OMG TONIGHT I THINK! :O

Trying to find Castlevaniaesque games recently made me pick up Lunar Knights for the DS. It has an overhead isometric view but there's no denying that it plays a bit like a parody Castlevania in terms of levels, theme and stuff. I highly recommend it! Stage 1 music wouldn't feel totally out of place in a new Kid Dracula game.

On topic: I don't see why Konami couldn't announce LoS2 at E3. There are always HUGE games being presented and with that logic no one should ever announce anything unless they're showing an AAA title, cause it would be "suicide". Now, releasing the actual game is another story though. Don't interfer with GoW, CoD, GTA, Halo and such, and you should be fine.

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.

That beat up and frankly ugly design for Dante has been redone. You'd know that if you followed the dev team at all.





New design. Give him white hair and he might actually sort of resemble old Dante just a bit.

[shelverton.]

That new design is worse than the one where he looks like the producer. I hate the even shorter hair. Now he just looks like a generic anybody.

[uzo]

He still is a look alike to the producer. Just not beaten in the face.

[Munchy]

Oh man, the plot synopsis for that game is hilariously emo.

I'M JUST A MISUNDERSTOOD KID WITH A MYSTERIOUS PAST AND NOTHING TO LOSE

Whatever anyone thinks of LoS, it's infinitely better than the drivel these guys come up with.

[shelverton.]

Well, as much as I dislike the new Dante, and as much as the story is going to be a letdown, I still genuinly believe that the gameplay is gonna be pretty good. And gameplay is all I ask for in a game like this. From what I've seen it looks like a real DMC game, and it looks pretty fun. I can't trash an entire game because of the main characters haircut or the storyline.

[Dremn]

The lack of any Castlevania at GDC is disappointing.

Starting to seem like The Adventure on the 3DS eShop is our only piece of news this year. Amazing, especially after they skipped out on giving Castlevania a proper anniversary last year.

I'm more worried everyday about Castlevania being a Konami franchise, hey konami, could you not handle it to Square Enix? please?

Castlevania with Square Enix?

Nooooo thank you. I'd rather NOT have Trevor Beltmont back.

This is strange and sad.

Say what you want about SE, but Eidos is great, and Eidos is SE Europe now.
