And yeah it looks like God of War. Oh well, it could still be great. As long as the music rocks.

TGS: Warg murder in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
There's been a common trend at TGS this year. Games here come in two flavors; pridefully (or from some perspectives, shamefully) Japanese, or blatantly Western. On one end you've got Dream Club Zero, and on the other, you've got Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. The game isn't even trying to hide its God of War complex. Still, retaining the Beastiary from past Castlevanias is a nice gesture, and went a long way towards maintaining my attention. I love me some Wargs. This is more hidden camera footage, so you'll have to forgive my sometimes pointless narration. To fend of suspicion, I had to act like I was doing something while I was standing there filming, so I pretended to be describing the game to a blind friend. I think it worked. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Dang it! It's just another God of War ripoff. I haven't transitioned from excitement to disappointment this quickly since the first screenshots of epic mickey Avoiding this like the plague after this, and this is from someone who put 50+ hours into Harmony of Despair. Seriously, I defended this so much until I saw a short walkthrough of one of the levels. It is pretty much entirely God of War painted up as Castlevania. There goes one of my most anticipated games for the last year. I like how the guy playing had to look at his controller to find the "A" button that was onscreen. I guess japanese people really don't play the Xbox 360.
And yeah it looks like God of War. Oh well, it could still be great. As long as the music rocks. "I had to act like I was doing something while I was standing there filming, so I pretended to be describing the game to a blind friend." - fucking genius, thats what it is. Well, the God of War series is fucking terrible, so this is fucking terrible too. It looks really boring, shallow, and repetitive, just like God of War. Really, all of you are going to use this as your gospel on weather the game is good or not, someone playing the same demo from E3? If any of you were truly excited about this game in the first place and did not blindly believe the first demo impressions you've run across then you would know that there are dozens of previews from late August about the first 6+ hours of this game with nothing but glowing impressions and all of them saying that the E3 demo did not do the game justice, do your research, see all the previews/reviews and gameplay videos you can before deciding if the game is for you or not instead of being sheep 2:30 PM on 05.16.2013 Lords of Shadow is the most successful Castlevania everSpeaking to Destructoid at a pre-E3 event, Konami's Dave Cox disclosed that (wait for it) Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is the most successful Castlevania game to date, even surpassing the massive sales of games from 1997 on. ...
