I love the creature design in this

FHIZ · Mar 2, 2010

I'd be totally cool with this game not sucking...

Gomu Gomu · Mar 2, 2010

I only care about the music. I hope we can hear a sample of the soundtrack soon. The game looks great though.

NIGHT- · Mar 2, 2010

Does this have a release date yet?

LowParry · Mar 2, 2010

I'm already sold on what's been shown for gameplay and looks. Just need to see some more of this game in motion with some epic music.

pseudocaesar · Mar 2, 2010

Il buy it at a high price.

GrotesqueBeauty · Mar 2, 2010

Looks pretty sweet, although the character designs tend less toward classic Castlevania and more Lord of the Rings imo.

I think that's perfectly fine for a reboot of the series.[

Yoshichan · Mar 2, 2010

Hopefully the music in this will be as good as Curse of Darkness!

Kajiba · Mar 2, 2010

Still looking good.

Goblin designs are nice

I don't, but it looks nice for what it is. My main concern is level design anyway.

lherre · Mar 2, 2010

Good, but a clearly downgrade in the overall quality comparing with the previous screens-videos.

Always-honest · Mar 2, 2010

well,.. i was hyped for this game.. but GoW3 kinda makes a lot seem underwhelming these days..

hope the game will be great. i'll keep a close eye on it.

Boring. Where's my ReBirth 2? That's the kind of Castlevania I wanna play, not this undigested bullshit craptastic shitty piece of muk.

Sato Koiji · Mar 2, 2010

HOOOOoooouuuuuu

I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!!!!

The Take Out Bandit · Mar 2, 2010

I thought they were trying to release all the God of War knock-offs before God of War 3 released? :|

jett · Mar 2, 2010

Doesn't look too hot in non-bullshots.

Neiteio · Mar 2, 2010

Monsters look like generic D&D fare, which is sad. I miss the more stylish monsters of the Iga Castlevanias... That said, the trailer had a stylish monster or two (the stone golem was intricately designed).

zoukka · Mar 2, 2010

Wow there's nothing to salvage from the train wreck that is this games art direction.

Definitely, screens look too bright as well. Needs to look a bit moodier.

:lol high as the sky?
I'm getting a diablo 3 vibe from it. There needs to be some gameplay footage........

ConcealedBlaze · Mar 2, 2010

I'm so pumped for this game. Mostly because in interviews the team has said it won't be a GoW clone. Rather it will include much more puzzles, platforming, and mood setting portions relative to the amount of combat. Also, they're trying to emulate SCIV which is always a good idea.

I get the sense this could potentially be another Metroid Prime, but only time will tell

Y2Kev · Mar 2, 2010

Looks okay. I hate poorly textured leaf piles. :\

The art is nice.

The trailers already have gameplay footage...

tzare · Mar 2, 2010

looks worse than wht shown in trailers. I hope it turns well however, but maybe expectations were too high. I hope Kojima means quality... but being MGSPW so close, i do not know if he is really involved in the game...

Revelations · Mar 2, 2010

Is that Jesus? Tell me that's jesus using the cross as a weapon! EPIC!

corrosivefrost · Mar 2, 2010

That one shot looks like they got a Belmont in my Uncharted.

NeoUltima · Mar 2, 2010

Looks good(except for that one screen...)...just must be spoiled by GoW3 media. There's been gameplay in the trailers and that looked great, so I'll just go by that mainly and ignore that ugly screen in there.

TheCardPlayer · Mar 2, 2010

Do absolutely want. Hopefully it doesn't release in winter or some stupid shit like that. Although, that is some fucking awful enemy design. I mean, this is still Castlevania, reboot or not. And these enemies don't fit at all, with what the series is meant to be.

The spider, werewolf and the Warg!? All fine. But the goddamn blando goblins are one hell of a clusterfuck from a design point of view, and from a CV fan's too. It just reeks of lack of idea, really.

I'm not sure that, fantasy game = there be goblins! mindset, is going to work out all that well, or that Mercury Steam actually know what the fuck they are doing...But eh, it's just one enemy. No cause for concern.

Still Day 1, and I'm fairly sure that this will be more than worthy of the title, Castlevania.

Dascu · Mar 2, 2010

Since when are generic goblins main enemies in Castlevania?

I'm hoping for a Summer release.

Reboots are fine, but I can't find anything Castlevania in those shots.

Maybe that's what will make it the most "Castlevania" of all.

It's not as though the 3D games have an entry to which we actually want to draw comparison.

Killing monsters and swinging with whips? Castlevania so far!

Booser · Mar 2, 2010

Screens look jaggier then before but I still love the look of this. Hopefully it plays as good as it sounds

HK-47 · Mar 2, 2010

I remember CV...being more colorful.

joesmokey · Mar 2, 2010

Still very interested to see how this turns out. Screens are looking fine so far.

Ranger X · Mar 2, 2010

PLEASE BE GOOOOOOOOD

bulovski · Mar 2, 2010

Why does this remind me more of Oblivion than Castlevania? The screens look nice but the vibes are just not there.

johnnya · Mar 2, 2010

I agree that there is nothing "Castlevania" in this game really so far. But I won't pass judgement until I play it.

Seriously. Where are the enemy sprites they always reuse!?

Jex · Mar 2, 2010

Definetely agree that I dont see anything particularly Castlevania-y in those shots. There are other 2D to 3D transitions that retain a sense of the 2D games 'look'. Such as like..mario, zelda, sonic.

Skilletor · Mar 2, 2010

Buff guy with a whip makes me think Castlevania.

Salz01 · Mar 2, 2010

I'm hopeful, just not sold on it yet. I just hope it has mood and atmosphere. I really want this to work.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
