Wow..so glad that Konami gave LoS 2 the greenlight. Game looks like a true sequel!!

AppleMIX · Jun 6, 2013

Free camera movement. Hell yeah.

ThoughtsOfSpeaking · Jun 6, 2013

Real time weapon switch?

Free roam camera?

Epic Battles?

This is starting to look more DMC than DmC.

Will have to get the pc version.

FlutterPuffs · Jun 6, 2013

So you use both Alucard and Dracula in this game?

I mean, it is called Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Sn4ke_911 · Jun 6, 2013

Who the hell edited that trailer? the game looks good but that trailer was boring.

eXistor · Jun 6, 2013

Such a random trailer! Still, the game looks pretty good and looks to be a proper sequel. I didn't know the levels were interconnected. I'm not expecting Metroid here, but it's still good news.

pixlexic · Jun 6, 2013

Day 1 on PC?

Dascu · Jun 6, 2013

I liked some of the character and enemy designs in that new trailer.

The Lords of Shadow were the enemies from the first game actually.

Capell · Jun 6, 2013

Almost fell asleep during that trailer. I'm sure the game will be good, but the trailer is awful.

SteveO409 · Jun 6, 2013

now that's how you do a trailer!!!

RyanReedyMusic · Jun 6, 2013

This Winter. So You can bet Ill play the first one then go to this one.

def sim · Jun 6, 2013

Damn, I am stoked for this game. The trailer on the Pre-E3 showed is great.

pixlexic said:

Yes or, at least, will definitely be coming on PC.

ezekial45 · Jun 6, 2013

Looks amazing. They really did a great job with the last game, and it looks like they've out done themselves for this one.

So from what I've gathered, it looks as though we'll be playing in two different time periods as Gabriel/Dracula (Past and Present), and also playable portions for Alucard?

Zomba13 · Jun 6, 2013

Really wasn't a fan of the first LoS but LoS2 looks really cool. Nice to see Alucard (I assume) too.

Will still need to see proper gameplay and some reviews but from the looks of things I'd enjoy it more than the first one.

ReaperXL7 · Jun 6, 2013

Fuckin amazing, it just looks fantastic. I cant wait.

ViewtifulJC · Jun 6, 2013

How could a trailer be so long, show so much, for a game I want to play, and still be so boring

Lords of Shadows has nothing to do with the number of playable characters.

Gbraga · Jun 6, 2013

Loved the gameplay bits in between their heads, day one.

scitek · Jun 6, 2013

Color-coded enemies? Ehhhh, that's the one thing I hated in DmC.

Rhomega Beta · Jun 6, 2013

I honestly felt it went on for too long. Still, I want to play, along with the first one, which is finally coming to PC.

Alcoholikaust · Jun 6, 2013

must have all been PC footage then?

excited for that pc release!

Really? Didn't pay that much attention. That really sucks. >____>

RPGCrazied · Jun 6, 2013

I was hoping for next year, cause the rest of the year is booked full of games for me, I'm sure I'll find a way to get it. That trailer was so epic. I hope the E3 demo is released on PSN too at some point. Also hope the game can run at 1080p like the last game.

cormack12 · Jun 6, 2013

Pre-ordered. Looks boss. Free camera was a must.

Only thing I wasn't too keen on was the 'mech' titan

LOCK · Jun 6, 2013

Game looks great. I'm so glad they got a chance to make a sequel

Is this next-gen, as well?

I'd imagine PS4 would be the best version.

When you start to get into a lot of detail on screen you need to do such things . They have been doing this since the nes days.

rocksteady1983 · Jun 6, 2013

I thought the art direction and design of the first game was absolutely beautiful. One of the best this generation imo. I'm sure they won't disappoint with this one either. Looks really good.

Ragus · Jun 6, 2013

Day 1.

LTWood12 · Jun 6, 2013

I worry for the console framerate since it appears this isn't coming to next-gen platforms.

demidar · Jun 6, 2013

That looked really good, shine up the combat and you got a keeper.

Nocturnowl · Jun 6, 2013

I'm impressed at how that could have such a long trailer and still show so little actual combat, when the flying golden armour fellow turned up I was like "here we go, time to see those claws in action!", then he just sort of flew around striking fabulous poses while massive mecha man started flailing all over Dracula's balcony.
Still what I saw from the game outside of the trailer looked pretty promising, the jumping around didn't look quite so fixed and the combat appeared snappier, of course I could make a stronger analysis on all this if they'd show more of what counts and less booming orchestra over lavish cinematic action.

Art direction looks top notch.

Maedhros · Jun 6, 2013

EPIC is the perfect word to describe the trailer. The second word is redemption. This is a redemption story.

This is not how I envision Dracula at all, but ehhhh... fuck that, it's MS story, they can do whatever they want with it. And it's the last game on the series, so whatever.

BTW, Dracula's is really doing parkour on this game? Holy fuck, WHY!?

Raptor · Jun 6, 2013

It looks incredible to me, cant wait to play it.

I care for this more than for the new consoles and next gen games lol.

It isn't and it wouldn't.

Grisby · Jun 6, 2013

Poorly edited trailer but damn the footage looks good. A man can dream that the engine talk means a smoother framerate on consoles.

Y2Kev · Jun 6, 2013

Badass looking. Can't wait. Patrick Stewart seems less asleep.

I see Alucard.

I think it is interesting how different the trailer feels than the trailer Kojima cut for LoS1. Just shows different styles.

Maedhros · Jun 6, 2013

Also, Alucard won't be a playable character according to Cox. WHY again?

Glass Rebel · Jun 6, 2013

I don't think the enemies are colour-coded as much as they just have armor now.

Maedhros said:

smh, Mercury Steam...

AHA-Lambda · Jun 6, 2013

Wait it's this year?! Colour me shocked! And it looked surprisingly great. Day one

catapult37 · Jun 6, 2013

DAT MUSIC

Omegasquash · Jun 6, 2013

Looks wonderful, I plan to pick it up.

Ishmae1 · Jun 6, 2013

Wow, looks cool. Free roam awesome.

Castlevania is dead. Long live Castlevania.

lordy88 · Jun 6, 2013

Am I the only one who absolutely loved that trailer music? That made the trailer seem so much better than it was.

Represent. · Jun 6, 2013

Looks amazing. Hope they still have all the varied locales that made LOS1 so special. Completely wack that theres no PS4 version though.

omonimo · Jun 6, 2013

Mmm I noticed a lot of jaggies in the fog, definitely low buffer effect & current gen.

You're not the only one. Music hits the soul.

Can't wait for this game to come out.

1080p would help with that, looked great in LoS 1.
