Konami has just released these new images for their next promising game, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, which is expected to be released somewhere around in 2010.

lets hope the gameplay can match the oldschool games we loved so much.

Im loving everything they have show so far and Im very optimistic about it,I hope the game wont dissapoint.
Lords of Shadow is the next title within this genre I am looking forward too, ALOT...except for Ninja Gaiden 3 obviously which tops the hype :D
I love the Castlevania universe already, and Lords of Shadow has this western style of art direction, and add to the fact they manage to get fantastic voice casting and everything else like visuals, story, music..etc. is going to be great.
I just hope the combat has a very good depth, maybe not crazy stuff like NG, DMC or the kings/queen of the genre...but if it has the same level like Darksiders, then awesome!
PS. Please for the love of God devs...do NOT, I repeat, do NOT add any stupid QTE whatsoever.
I dont mind one button finishers like Darksiders and NG2/Sigma 2, but too keep waiting for random buttons are horrible.
And you can't play as dracula, it'd make no sense. Every century Dracula is resurrected and a new Belmont steps up to take him down. There'd be no time for Dracula to do any thing, the entire game would just be one boss battle. At best you could be some douche trying to resurrect him, but how fun would that be?
Plus the fact that Kojima has even peeked over the shoulder of the devs is awesome.
Just because one image shows the main character has to cross a gap so he uses the chain and swings is a copy? be serious.
Then that would include Indiana Jones, Zorro...and any other character that uses a long tool to swing cross something.
Its a simple tool you use to get cross something, they arent using it as a gameplay mechanic like Bionic Commando is doing.
BTW, what makes this a bad attempt of GOW? If you want to take it that way, then GOW is a poormans DMC and NG because they were released and made before GOW and the only thing GOW has at its advantage is scale and visuals and that doesnt make any game better.
DMC1 - 2001
NG - 2004
GOW - 2005
PS. Castlevania used the chain weapon idea way before God of War so, yeah. If anything GOW is a poor attempt of any title before it lol.
And considering this game is being developed by a completely different team, it doesn't make sense to make predictions about this game based on the previous games. But with that said, I'm waiting to see more about it first. It may be so unrelated from the previous games that it will actually work against it, who knows.
A wholly new team is possibly the best thing to ever happen to a castlevania in 3d. Though i'm pretty sure that this will in no way keep teh atmosphere or anything from teh old games, it might still be good. Some gameplay would be nice to see before assuming anything though.
