Whoa.. I totally missed the latest trailer with new gameplay segments. Damn, could we really about to be getting a good 3D castlevania? It most certainly looks like it.

Graphics still looking pretty damn great :)

No I meant as a anticipated game thats why I mentioned it ;)

Even for Castlevania, it's not clear yet. I think 2010 is pretty crowded with 3rd person Action Adventure games, it would be best if they push it to early 2011.

Crowded, that may be, but that doesnt exactly mean they are good/worth it.

I dont mind if Lords of Shadow was for this year because frankly I dont see another 3rd person action adventure game worth getting excited for...except for GOW3 if you are into that.

To be fair, what excites me about God of War 3 is its scale - gameplay at its core is more of the same. Every game has something special to offer just because those special things dont appeal to you or excite you, it doesnt mean that they are not there. I think we have a very nice variety of action adventure games released/coming this year:
Crazy stylish Bayonetta, RPG Zelda-like Darksiders, Story-heavy Dante's Inferno, Massive God of War 3 and later on Thriller Alan Wake, Fantastical Prince of Persia and hopefully sometime later Tomb Raider and Castlevania. Man, is it a great time to be an action adventure lover or what!!!

What I want to know its what type of camera this game has,GoW/Dante's Inferno like camera or Bayonetta/Ninja Gaiden one,I hope for the later because while I dont mind the other type I just cant get pass that,I played the DI demo yesterday or teh day before and I cant get used to it,maybe when I played GoW all those years ago it was not a big deal to me because I was not to used to teh free look one but now that Bayonetta its my favorite game ever I just cant accept other type of camera.

I want to be able to rotate the camera at will and have a dedicated button to dodge or block whatever the case may be.

I would guess fixed camera, if for no other reason it gives them more room for graphical power. Like iraiptoir siad though, a non-fixed camera would be much better, but not a deal breaker for me.

Yeah if it has it fixed well I think I will give it a chance anyway I love everything about this game so far.

Well like I said, its not something for me, but GOW fans will have something good to look forward to.

Raptor...I think the camera will be fixed, and I agree with you that I dont like fixed cameras because they usually have your character so far away and you cant rotate the camera for a closer look on character detail or environments around you and I hate that.
Games like NG, DMC, Bayonetta and Darksiders is has closer cameras that you can manually rotate. For example I rotate the camera now and then in NGS2 when I am doing some cool combos which makes it more cinematic.

Indeed.
I love everything this game has to offer, atleast from what we know and seen anyways, so the camera is no way going to stop me.
I just hope the combat is more like Darksiders if anything if its going to be "easy access". Each attack feels and sounds heavy, nice polished animations along side with enemies animations when they get hit and hit detection must be spot on.

But considering some Kojima team (i think so anyways) are supporting this title, I am sure they are going to make a great job.

Exactly Sath thats why I like that camera you can look the detail(Bayonetta's ass :P) in characters and enviroments and you are in total comntrol of what are you doing,I like to think of it this way,I control exactly what I see and what to attack and I make the camera focus on that,I dont want the game tells me what to look.

But anyway I will still buy this game because so far its looking fantastic and from what we have seen of the combat it has a nice feel to it.

I agree 100% my friend.

The combat looked polished IMO, but if they manage to get it polished and tighten the combat with depth moves...damn! :D

I hope for the next event we see more combat footage.

I am worried about The Force Unleashed 2.
Sure they got a double lightsaber now, but I am worried about the tech because both versions of TFU had issues, especially on PC. Crashes, freezes, glitches...*sigh*
And combat, I hope its much better than previous one, and hopefully this time it doesnt feel like we have a glowing baseball bat but a lightsaber.

But its LucasArts, so you never know lol.

For Lords of Shadow, I am ready to have it this year!

Im confident they listened to fans and reviewers about t hose glitches and bad stuff from the first but if not I will lose hope entirely I mean there si some awesome stuff like Euphoria and all that but if the damn lighsaber can cut people its a lost cause,I need a proper combat gameplay but knowing me and my starwars obsession I will still buy it for my collection.

LOL, yeah, if you are in mood for SW, especially a dark serious one, it will keep you interested.

But I owned the original TFU and then got TFU Sith Edition...the issues was there.

However, I highly doubt they will let you cut enemies, unless they are droids.

Damn it,I want to cut trough clones and monsters,they have the perfect reason for no blood and because of that I cant understand why they wont let us do that,you cut there is no blood because the wounds get cauterised instantly so I see no point really.

Damn it anyway!!

LucasArts wants money, so they make for alot of platforms and they dont want a high rated title so kids can buy lol.
