Topic: Castlevania Lords of Shadow Mirror Of Fate HD

These are dark times.

Still.. $15 is a lot of money for a Cox branded title at least. Maybe I'm just craving a 2D Castlevania title after so long.

I hope someone (Not Cox nor Iga) is secretly working on a new 3DS or Vita sidescroller CV as we speak. Or console (which is not as likely I guess) Be it classic or metroidvania. I predict a new handheld game being released on...uhm... february... 11th.... 2015? Yeah! That's when.

Is it just me or trophies for MOF HD are bugged? I can`t see them on my list... And now try to syncronise everytime i want to watch it...

I'm highly considering buying MoF on my PS3..

What's wrong with me?

You're scaring me, Rugal...

Now, I could be wrong, but I think the $15 price point and the more accessible release will help the game be more successful than it was on 3DS.

So, accessibilty + lower price + bigger install base(s) = possibility of bigger sales. And I say 'possibility' cause I'm not psychic. But neither are you, I'd imagine?

You might both be right. I'm not psychic either, as you've so shrewdly realized.
Still, we're considering a high-definition port released only a few months after the original. Cross-console remakes like MoF-HD tend to fare far worse, especially when the original release wasn't too warmly received. Then again, the new pricing is admittedly attractive. It seems only time will tell.

Poor soul. Left alone and helpless by Konami's cruel new sleight of hand, you are indeed famished for a decent 2D title. And yet you must heed my warning: Mirror of Fate is a grim experience indeed. Hold back, I beseech you -- do not fall prey to temptation; do not part so easily from your dignity.
I wouldn't buy Mirror of Fate again if I was given $15 along with it.

Don't listen to this fuddy-duddy.

Fun game. Must buy. GoaT.

I'm getting more enjoyment out of MOF on ps3 than i did on 3ds.

I'm not going to sit here and say MOF is a great game, but it's worth the money now.

I would say that it's at least as good as HOD as a downloadable game.

Hehehe. No offense to anyone, of course. I was being excessively dramatic for the occasion.
I still don't recommend Mirror of Fate, though. And definitely not GoaT.

The game is still trash, just on a bigger screen and lower price point.

I was just havin' a giggle, mate.

Agree Mof -hd is worth it good frame rate. mouths that move during cut scenes, D-pad functionality sucka, oh and dat los demo....  yeah it's nice.

Much better than Harmony of despair in my opinion. Crazy seeing as I hated MoF for the 3ds and I mean hated or disliked or disappointed one of the three I do not care

If Mirror of Fate wasn't good on the 3DS, it won't be good on consoles. An HD conversion won't change that, nor will a halfhearted effort at fixing a few of the game's mistakes.
By porting its unsuccessful handheld game to consoles, giving it a graphical update, performing some minor cleanup, and slapping on the LoS2 demo, MS is presenting Mirror-HD as an entirely new game. I simply don't buy these types of strategic marketing tricks.

I'm playing it now. The game controls much better and looks relatively nice. It's still not great but it's the definite version of the game. I still hate the combat though, but my score went from a 5/10 to a 6/10 at least. Nothing to write home about and not especially memorable either, just less...annoying.

I don't think they're trying to market it as a new game. They're just remarketing the game to all of the non-handheld, non-Nintendo gamers that didn't pick it up the first time. Obviously if you didn't like the gameplay you won't love the HD remake or anything, but I think you underestimate the # of LoS fans that skipped MoF on the 3DS because it was an entirely different console.

That's probably the biggest mistake they made: releasing a game's pseudo-sequel on a different console in a different market to the group of fans most hostile to the remake. The HD remake clearly isn't supposed to be an apology, it's just a rerelease for a different market.

Lastnight i finished my fisrt walkthrough and i really enjoy it. It is a nice game IMO, but please can some one tell cox the trophies of this games are bugged and should be fixed and the game text`s font is dang small even on HD tv is hard to read... Reading the fallen warrior scrolls of this games is really nice but i can`t do it w/o getting blind...
