LOL no.
We would get SC4 nonsense-universe-mix again.

Imagine Gabriel from Lords of Shadow in NG for Cloud from Advent children CG...oh yeah!

Imagine a Cloud like super Omnislash, fantastic, probably my favorite move...though Ryu can do similair thing with True Dragon Sword!

Any move that has more than 3-4 hits with afterimage is badass!

I had a PSP for like 1 week with Dissidia final Fantasy game, its epic!
its a fighting RPG with 2 options, real time or menu based, you can pick!

Anyways, I mostly picked One Winged Angel orchestra version music with Cloud AC outfit, Omnislash is so fantastic to do!

Damn, one main weapon? Why!?
Ah well, atleast its not a stupid scythe...I hate big weapons. Hopefully the game has enough combos and nice power ups to go with that whip.

Good thing we will hear some classic Castlevania tracks remake in orchestra, probably going to be like Bionic Commando and how they did.
Imagine these in orchestra fighting a nice boss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b3bU56Rxp8 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX_IMGd9zHA oh yeah!

I already love the track they use in the Lords of Shadow trailer, listening to it from time to time :)

In a action game you need always and I mean always need a frikin sword man I mean I want close combat action but oh well not a game breaker to me I can live with one weapon as long as there is some variation in combos and looks of it.

Screens looks amazing,got a very nice atmosphere goin on.

Never wrong Raptor, never wrong :)

But then again, its Castlevania, the main weapon is always the whip. But if they make the whip actioon awesome then there is no problem at all.
Atleast its not a big weapon and I will ALWAYS hate such weapons.

But swords>>>>>>>any other weapon (in melee fighting obviously :)

I dont know if there is co-op or not, we see another character from Brotherhood of Light helping Gabriel so its possible, probably AI only though. We have to wait and see.

Also, you buy a PS3 considering you never owned one, I owned several 360s, its enough. Besides I refuse to pay for XBL so thats another reason :P

True, God of War had such epic scale in some moments but most of it felt wasted b/c they didn't do near as much gameplay wise as they could have. The QTE animations (which were not even that easy to see due to looking for what button to press, even despite them now being in the corners of the screen) might be fun for some, but I would much rather see more gameplay driven finishing moves. I really hope this game stays away from this formula.

Co-op would be very nice though!!!

I despite QTEs no matter how great the gameplay is, damn them to hell!

There is however in GOW3 a special item you have to find (cheat) that lets you win all QTEs automatically, basically the game does all the QTEs for you (unless you are grabbed or something by a small enemy) but in general all QTEs are done by the game.
That way you can just sit back and enjoy the action.

I dont remember this being true or not, but didnt they say that Castlevania Lords of Shadow will have QTEs as well?
If so...stupid devs!

I really am liking the look of this, and I'd like to pretend that the tiny heads on big bodies is a deliberate callback to the Konami NES look, AND I DON'T WANNA HEAR THAT IT ISN'T!! There's absolutely no way to tell whether it'll play well though, obviously.

I just dunno how calling this Castlevania benefits anyone. I guess it garners more attention, but it seems unfair to both Castlevania as a thing, and this game.

One of the devs said that many Castlevania fans will remember some things in the new one, and they are going to remake some classic Castlevania music into orchestra (like Bionic Commando).

But IMO about the head, the shoulder pad is too big, not the head being small :P

Oh trust me, it's way too small, proportionally, for his entire body, but I'm not complaining about it, I like it.

Well I havent focused on it so much :P

I am just hoping the game is great, especially the combat, we know for fact you will only use the whip, which freaking suck!
But you get like some secondary weapons/magic to mess around with.

Listen to this track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLnIoENsgZk

I hope the new Castlevania is filled with this type of music, goosebumps!

I love everything they have showned and talked about the new Castlevania so far, only thing that bugs my mind is that the whipe is the only weapon he has as a primary.
Imagine transforming his whip into a sharp blade then it acts like a swords!

For long range it is the whip, but as soon as you have enemy close the whip automatically transforms into a blade then acts like a sword for slashing.

The game got so much potential to be great, and so far, this is the only game that I can see to take Ninja Gaiden's place in my heart. Its like Gabriel and Ryu is fighting to win #1 spot in my heart LOL.
I have always prefered western artstyle and settings in games than asian, so Castlevania is definitely top notch :)

From enemies to locations to the badass character design, really awesome.

One thing to be clear on is that, I rather have the whip as forever weapon than a scythe.
Scythe's are stale, long, sure Dante's Inferno was very fast and fluid, but I still dont prefer it.
But with the whip you got this quick and fluid movement to the animations and such.

Take look at Jean Reno from Onimusha 3, he only uses the whip most of the time...however he gets different styles of whips, models and colors, some of them are even elemental!
http://www.gamefandom.com/game/PlayStation%202/%5B...

If they do plan on the whip being the only weapon, they should atleast give us different types and elemental ones.

GT site gameplay

Part 1 http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-castleva...
Part 2 http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-castleva...

Okay I have 2 problems with this game based on these footages.

Animation!
Stop!

Fix the running and jumping animation thats it.

Stopping is pissing me off, it was even in God of War 3...sometimes it is there sometimes its not...but the problem is, it is there!
I dont understand why there is a sudden "stop" to some objects/enemimes when you attack, doesnt make any sense.
They need to remove that.

Also the camera is fixed like GoW and DI and I hate that, too bad this game has it as well :(
But the camera work seems much better than Di and GoW, it is closer and more down on the ground that above and panned, thats a plus for sure.
But in different locations the camera has a unique angle to add some variety, that is not bad in my book.

But overal the game looks fantastic, I love everything they have showned so far, and the 2 problems isnt gamebreakers for me, annoying, but wont break it when everything I seen I love.

Can't wait!

Please release a PSN/XBL demo pre-release :)

PS. The music is breathtaking!
