So next week Konami is rebooting the Castlevania franchise, which sends less than thrilling on paper but

oh... oh

Well the presentation sure is stellar but will the gameplay be any good?

combat and platforming footage start at 4:00



Well fuck me but this game looks amazing, there's supposedly a PS3 demo hitting tomorrow and a 360 demo that is coming out at some point sometime, the game itself comes out October 5th and amazon happens to be doing one of those get a $20 video game credit when you pre-order deals for it.


Who else wants to kill some draculas

    one game of dracula killing is a good step forward but it's only a step

    we need more dracula killing

    draculas to kill in every video game

    Lament of Innocence was an average game.

    This looks pimp, though. Gotten some good reviews so far too.

    Well in the games defence it only became a Castlevania game about halfway through its development

    Before that it was just a normal run through a castle killing draculas game

    The Japanese voiced trailer may have them all angry. The english voice cast is good, though.

    I'm pretty sure the japanese voice of the Belmont is the same one as Char. Which as a UC Gundam lover I think that's nice.

    I still have that old xbox castlevania, the one with the different soul monster allies or whatever
    can't remember how far I got in that game.

    You buy it at full price, then they send you the credit after it ships. Gotta use it on a future purchase

    EDIT: actually it looks like they just stopped taking preorders for that dealy thing. You're boned.

    I really liked castlevania 64- it had strong atmosphere. Also an invincible frankenstein hedge maze groundskeeper. But then I got up to this part that is fucking impossible or bugged out or something involving carrying explosives around.

    People on the internet are always going 'castlevania 64 lol skeleton motorbikers sooo dumb'

    What is wrong with these people that don't see skeleton bikers as an obvious perk?
