Oh man, this is going to be good.
Loved LOS and can't wait to play this game.
Because Castlevania judgment was such a good game.
Order of Ecclesia didn't have the crappy anime look :/
2.5D is technically 3D.
The screens appear to have some kind of fixed camera angle going on, so that suggests a 2.5D game with a dynamic but fixed camera system for when it's appropriate.
2.5D but probably with some cinematic camera angles from time to time. I think it looks pretty good. I mean, obviously not as cool as 2D sprites, but solid for what it is.

The screenshots look 2.5D with an isometric perspective at times. Think Shinobi 3DS, which moved the camera to different angles, but you still moved left to right.

I mean, I would like to see more, but writing it off already after a low quality magazine leak is about all that needs to be said.

The graphics look 3D, but the gameplay sorta seems Viewtiful Joe style 2.5D
I lol'ed.
I'm more interested in the proper LoS sequel we'll see on the HD systems, but I love my 3DS and so this interests me as a fan of the first LoS. I'm curious, though, how this lines up with their teaser image and text last issue, when we were given Soviet-sounding lingo ("comrade," etc) and a red image that looked like a stylized map of the USSR.

Bloody man child bitter fan tears. Definitely more interested in this than had it been another SOTN type.
That's not to say that I'm already championing this game. I want to see more of it. But I'm not declaring the hate and that the franchise is dead just yet either.
Yes, let's base it all upon two little images instead of waiting 2 more days for Konami's conference & seeing it in motion & decide then. It isn't an Iga Castlevania game, but it doesn't look awful. I want to see the footage from Konami's E3 showing & then decide.
There aren't enough curses to describe how much I hate comboquicktime fighting shit in video games. And now one of my favorit 2d games is the new victim.
I am out, dammit

I paid good money for this Dynex!
It definitely looks awful.
And the bullet points confirm it.
Please, wait for Konami's conference to confirm for yourself.
So what if it has that type of combat system, but really good 2D platforming, and a great soundtrack. That is definitely possible.
Honestly i'm hyped since i've seen it done with Viewtiful Joe, and although this isnt Clover or even Capcom related, I dont see why the game couldnt have a detailed combat system + cool 2D platforming with a 2.5D viewpoint that shifts perspective ala Viewtiful Joe.
Could be the map screen for the game?

For a 3DS game I'm willing to lay down my cards on it actually looking pretty good, visually.

You don't really believe any of that is going to happen, do you?
From a technical standpoint, it looks alright. But I'm getting a serious Griptonite Shinobi vibe, and that is not a good thing.

Never played Lords of Shadow, but I'll definitely be checking both it and this out. Looks pretty neat.

I never thought I'd see the day people complaining over a fleshed out combat system, as opposed to mashing one button and watching fodder crumble. *insertfacepalmgifhere*
Screw the haters...lets get it...pumped!!!

Where do you see a freak out? just because i said "fucking handheld"? come on ...
This already looks a ton better than Shinobi 3DS.
I was hoping for gameplay similar to the old games, is all.
It's confirmed that Mercury Steam is working on this themselves. I imagine that LoS2 isn't coming out until early next year, so that should be more than enough time to do both games.
People who played that Shinobi said it was pretty damn good & the Castlevania images look way better than that game ever did.
Yeah, this.
I mean, God only knows if it's actually as good in practice as it is on paper, but I wouldn't mind at all if this actually has decent combat variety. Would certainly speak to me more than just mashing buttons and hunting for various weapons, where most do the same thing, just with a nice fire/ice/etc. attribute attached.

Doesn't look too hot It's sad to see how far the Castlevania series has fallen in recent years.
It's sad to see how far the Castlevania series has fallen in recent years.It's probably a list of the must-own Wii games before they transition everything to Wii U coverage.
