Lords of Shadow 2 Demo is now up on PSN and XBL

[TheRev]

Heads up. Not a huge fan of the series myself but I'll give it another chance.

Edge rated it a five, Game Informer a six. It's probably time the curtain comes down on this particular offshoot.

I think I'm gonna wait for PC version. A demo won't be necessary though. It's Castlevania, so I will eventually buy it in some format.

I'm more into the Rondo of Blood style Castlevania never seems to work in 3d and the Metroidvanias got old after awhile.

I'd love to see the Chronicles collection get an HD Release.

Just played through the demo. I can see why it's getting middling scores. Nothing new really. It's gone a bit Warhammer as well in presentation. And I think the colour coded combat magic is gone too which was something that distanced the first game from being a total God of War rip.

I guess how much you'll like it depends on whether you think Dracula vomiting blood to destroy the titan is awesome or hilarious. Or both.

Also he says the "What is a man" line but it's so out of context to be ludicrous.

Is an old school style vania too much to ask for?

Isn't that what Mirror Of Fate was for? And Castlevania Rebirth?

Not sure why this isn't coming to XB1 or PS4.

Not sure why this isn't coming to XB1 or PS4.

probably because of something you did.

Sad to hear the game is getting middling scores. The previews made it seem like there was enough new and different to make it exciting. Why is it so hard to make good 3rd person action adventure / hack and slash games anymore? I know there is Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Rising: Revengence but that seems like all there is these days. I wonder if Castlevania will make a turn for the better with the next developer to take the torch.
