[Number45]

Review is up, 8/10. Haven't read it yet, not sure if I should or not as I want to be as fresh as I can be for this.

11m long commented video. Opening music reminds me of SC4. <3

EDIT: I'm currently trying to explain to myself why I thought watching this would be any less spoilerific than the review I posted earlier.

Just read the review, sounds good tbh, I'll be picking this up.

[PeteJ]

Expect I will be too, sounds pretty great. Hardly feel like I've played Halo or F1 though so I may be overdoing it with new releases!

[Sane]

Yeah me too, I still have a huge backlog of games and I recently went on a buying spree (pre) ordering Crackdown 2, Alan Wake, Deadly Premonition, Sengoku Basara 3, F1 2010, Vanquish.....

But it's Castlevania, so I'll make time for it .

[hudson]

Yeah, sounds decent. Will probably pick this up eventually.

Thats because it is the music from SC4.

But yeah its looking sweet. Its probably going to be the best game Konami has published since MGS4. Its looking like it could be another Batman Arkham Asylum.

[Number45]

I knew that. I didn't however know if the music had been used in other CV games, so I didn't say it in fear of being buried under a barrage of "Pfft, it's remixed from the PC Engine Hyper Turbo Duo version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Rondo of the Aria of Sorrow. Of Blood".

Liking the look of this now and the same as Enslaved release date makes for one hell of a Friday

I'll likely be in the few with this but I'm glad the series has moved away from the Metroidvania template again.

So was ps3 the lead platform for this then? Is ps3 the version to get? I haven't heard a thing!

[Number45]

I'm sure the inevitable comparisons will hit soon (If they're not out there already). Can't remember what they said was the lead platform initially, I think they said the PS3.

[Strider]

sitting down with this tonight. Yay.

Totally offtopic but trying to watch that review in hd but the stupid ad for Pringles slows my browser the f down. Anyone else experience this and is there a way to get around it. Its not even a good ad!

I think I'm one of the few people who enjoyed Lament of Innocence. Had a quick go on the 360 version last week but this is the sort of game you have to sit down and experience in the dark with decent speakers.

Bring on the demo!!
