Behold the power of art direction.
One can see all the technical limitations of the current consoles, as with games like TLOU. But it's art and visual staging that make the difference.
I'm more concerned with how well the console versions of this perform...

Wow that looks very average, right?
You mean PC shots.
It's open world. Also, lighting, texture variety and art direction are pretty good.
This winter supposedly, so, february?

Looks amazing.
Those aren't bullshots if you have a good PC
This looks great. I was quite impressed with E3 previews.

I just hope this won't run at 15 FPS.

looks nothing special. And it is the usual touched up bullshots.

Too bad the gameplay looks dull and boring from E3 demos.

I predict another QTE fest. I dont know why the first game got a pass, because it was riddled with dumb QTEs.
Well, when you type this
I'm not seeing the difference between a bullshot and pc shot that is implied to be a console shot.
On somewhat related note, do they plan getting a stable 30 for consoles this time?

It was also riddled with an awesome, fun combat system.

LOS1 had some issues, but "boring gameplay" was not one of them. That werewolf boss fight was goddamn amazing.

First, the E3 demo chose its slice of gameplay very poorly.
Second, MercurySteam has amazing artists.

Certainly not at that resolution and IQ.

Most if not all the boss fights were incredibly fun.
The jump in quality from the console versions is not astounding
e.g:
And they said they already managed to make the run at a faster and more stable framerate.
These shots are from the Castle (think Arkham Asylum) the ither location, the city, is open.

switching between light and dark mechanics, not exactly something fresh there imo. It's not more fun than God of War.
the QTE climb the titan fight was fun?

Who are the people in the 4th and 5th screenshots?

So it has to be fresh/original in order to be fun and well done. Okay then.
Didn't bother me at all, it was very easy and took no more than a couple of minutes. And by bosses I was talking about the bosses that you actually engage in combat with.
graphically, sure, but the designs are nice

So there's some sort of time travel in this game?

Yep.

It looks great but I think the artstyle in these games is a bit goofy looking.
The main character, for example.
The main character, for example.
Im a HUGE fan of the old Castlevania games plus Symphony of the Night is one of my all time favorite games. I even found some enjoyment in Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness.
And I absolutely LOVED Lords of Shadow. BEAUTIFUL graphics. Incredible soundtrack. Amazing bosses. Great level design. Great settings. Great story for a change (the only good story for a CV game thus far IMO) with very good voice acting! An excellent ending that I cared for. Wonderful combat. I even liked the QTEs! I loved and beat all the Gameboy Advance and DS games as well and yet I think Lords of Shadow is the best one. I actually hope this one is close to being as good as the first one. Count me in as an incredibly excited Castlevania fan.

Not to mention frame dropping. LoS1 looked good it was just everything else that was a mess.

How does Human Carmilla even work? wasn't she a lord of shadow? (i.e. spirit form ascended to near godhood, dark form becomes a vampire?)
Don't have idea, rumor has it
gabriel goes back in time to avoid the birth of the LoS avoiding his creation as a vampire, but as Dracula is neccesary evil so time accomodates itself and creates another one, starting so the old Castlevania timeline

Looks nice. To people saying these are bullshots, the real game will just blow your mind on PC then. It will look better than this.
Can't wait for LOS to come out on PC next month. And then LOS2 later in the year....this year is awesome.

Lord of shadows definitely looks great, unfortunately doesn't work well with current gen consoles as it runs at or below 20 fps...

Very pretty art design. Still not that interested in playing it for story reasons.
Damn it, Mercury Steam. Damn it.

This sounds too bizarrely convoluted even for Konami.
If I even see a hint of this in LOS2, I'm chucking the disc into the fire.
Or 60fps in some levels, it's unlocked so you can have great or below-average perfomances, most of it wasn't that bad, The first levels are atrocious though.
You're totally sure? Time travel/flashbacks then I guess.

It was WAY more fun than God of War if you ask me, actually on Paladin Difficulty managing your focus and using Light and Dark Magic were an absolute treat.
LoS being better than gow3 isn't up to debate.
The past screens set had filenames and those included those names.
