Konami recently released a PC demo of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 on Steam, so here are three 1080p videos for you guys. Because the cutscenes aren't completely smooth at the moment, we chose to only keep the gameplay sequences. This way, you can be assured that there are no spoilers included.

Music is outstanding too.
I cant wait for this game to come out, hopefully they have added some arena mode, outfit unlocks...etc. for replayvalue.
PS. auto QTE is the way to go!

Its basically a normal action adventure game without any QTE in the game (doesnt even show QTE prompts on screen), for those who loathe that crappy gameplay mechanic that has been luring itself into more games these days.
I wish all games with QTE could have an option to turn it off in options from getgo, satistfy both audiences.

As long as a game doesn't hit GOW territory where QTE's are concerned, I can live with it.

Bright side is that cutscenes are rendered in real time. They are not pre rendered binks and huge kudos for Mercurysteam for that.

I played it at 1440p max settings using a 780 GTX Ti and didn't notice a single drop in framerate.
