Castlevania - Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate - HD #1

Gameplay.

Simon's new portrait is a little weird looking.

Another thing I've noticed is that the QTE's for MASH X TO OPEN CHEST and the QTE to finish off bosses are gone. However the MASH A TO ESCAPE still remains though but I have little problem with that.

Also, playing on hard mode removes boss checkpoints, guess im playing hard mode on my first go.

Hnnnnnnnng, can this be toggled on normal, or must I beef up the difficulty?

How much are they asking for this? And has a PC port been confirmed or no? If there's no PC version maybe I'll just pony up and get it on PSN.

Interesting. It seems MoF-HD, apart from acting as a graphical update, tried to fix a few of the the original's most glaring problems. And I'll admit that the cutscene lip-synching is a welcome change. But MoF still remains fundamentally unimproved.

As for the QTE's and the checkpointing: the finisher QTE's have disappeared, but those within battles are still there. And choosing hard mode shouldn't be a requirement to avoid a piece of particularly poor game design. Even so, the ridiculously short checkpoint intervals remain. Not what I would call a revolution.

If you really must, the game's XBLA price is $14.99. And the PC port has essentially been confirmed, but it won't be immediate.

I mean, the game isn't incredibly difficult. If you want your hand held, pick easy. If you don't, pick hard.

Oh hey, they actually made the mouths move in the cutscenes. Imagine that. Frame rate seems to be fine too.

Might actually get it now. But, waiting for PC version.

EDIT:
So why does this get a port but there's still no Console Dracula X Chronicles?

Keep an eye on PS VitaTV. You theoretically should be able to play any PSP game on TV with a PS3 controller if you get it.

I just put down my pre-order for the CE, with MOFHD included. Impressive to see a bit more positive words with the re-release, I read that the 3DS edition has quite a few hiccups. Hmm curious how they'll have the game setup. Maybe on one of the discs with the LOS2 demo? Curious how much data will be on the game disc. How is the direct to download edition? anything special unlocked?

The animations on this game are rough as fuck.

If the disc edition is anything like the download, there'll be an option on the MoF main menu that will download the LoS2 demo onto your harddrive.

I thought they said the LOS Collection just contained a download code for MOF HD and only LOS1 comes on the discs.

EDIT: Seems the disc is most likely the same as the normal CLOS1 disc, everything else is a download.

Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.
