Seriously. Will it be better than Castlevania 64 is the real question!

empeck

Just played demo on PS3

Wow. Can't wait to play full version. I love the atmosphere of the game. Just like the old gothic horrors, not slashers like we see now. This is going to be a great game.

I have always loved Castlevania, I was very excited when i seen this announced!

stickadtroja

what part of this isn't a god of war/dantes inferno ripoff?

mooooaaaarrrrrrrrr

Looks awesome. As far as the ripoff crit, good gameplay is good gameplay. Darksiders had the same critique, but was still an all around fun, and had some really unique characters.

This is the game I'm buying a PS3 for.

ScudzAlmighty

I'll buy this for the environments alone, everything else is just gravy.

Looks sooooo good. Can't wait. Also, stickadtroja, you know that Dante's Inferno and God of War played suspiciously like Castlevania: Lament of Innocence right?

Some nice looking environments, but there ain't no "Z" in Castlevania.

Stickadtroja "what part of this isn't a god of war/dantes inferno ripoff?"

I dunno, the fact that it looks good? That it doesn't star an angry Gary Stu or a utterly boring sado masochist?? That the environments actually look interesting and well crafted?

stickadtroja

okey go on and belive the hype and everting else they tell you. thats how you peaple work isn't it? you don't actully enyoy the games, you just love to be part of and embrace the hype around it. you don't have any fibre of critical thinking left in your body and that makes you the souless puppets that keeps the making-expensive-crapy-ripoff-games-with-no-ounce-of-orginality-machine running. hurray for mindless consuming everbody.

Skamberin

So, because people like a new game, that is in the hack and slash adventure genre and they don't like God of War or God of War, I mean, Dantes Inferno, they're disillusioned by hype?

Soul Reaver came out before God of War, get off your high horse stickadtroja :P

People have different opinions. It's honestly ironic you mention God of War and Dantes Inferno as a place to rip something off of.
