Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2: new gameplay details surface

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 has received its first hands-on preview. The article has only appeared in print so far, but details have started pouring out online. The piece covers Gabriel’s new ‘Blood Whip’ weapon, bosses, camera control and much more.

Gematsu reports that the piece appeared in the new issue of OPM, and that the Blood Whip weapon is ranged like previous Castlevania whips and that combos can be strung together using light attacks that sweep across a wide area, and heavier blows that are more precise.

Magic has also been removed, replaced instead by ‘Dracula’s Blood’, which only regenerates each time you kill an enemy or rack up a more varied and higher ranking combo.

There are two separate weapons that can be summoned by spending blood on powers called ‘Void’ and ‘Chaos’. The first mode summons a large sword that rewards you with health for every hit landed, while the chaos strain gives Gabriel a pair of claws capable of breaking through enemy shields.

These mechanics are backed up by Gabriel’s new ‘Focus’ skill, which is rewarded for countering, blocking and rolling around attacks perfectly. It’s not clear what it does yet, however.

Just like in previous Castlevania titles, Gabriel can also turn into a fine mist allowing him to pass through vents, fences and other obstructions. You also have full camera control, boss battles will be longer and more memorable, and the world will be more seamless.

There you have it. We’ll have more once Konami is ready to share it. Are you excited for Lords of Shadow 2? Let us know below.

Wish granted !

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Ultimate Edition arrives on Steam on August 27 and at retail on August 30.

Someone should make a new thread or merge this together in this thread.

Actually the game will run at much higher resolutions if your rig will support it. The video content is limited to 1080.

Anyway if got chance, try out Symphony Of The Night featuring a super handsome son of Dracula~ one of the best selling 2D action game.

That my friend, I played almost 3 to 5 times playthrough and beating the crap with Crissaegrim. One of the most legendary sword in the game!

But westerners are OK with dicks.

Look at 1:43, no one can beat that.



And some boobies for you but I doubt you will ever be able fap to this.

I remember very early version of Hitman got guards taking out his d*** to to pee.. you can even zoom your binoculars to see he swinging it

once you got that sword it means God mode turn on... even Galamoth became super easy...

Anyway another reason I play that game so many times also bcoz of the great music    (and of course, the very generous amount of monster made the grinding less boring ~~~)

E3 trailer for Castlevania LoS 2

A PC demo for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow will become available on Steam tomorrow, MercurySteam announced on Facebook today. The full game finally debuts on PC on August 28. A sequel, Lords of Shadow 2, is due on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November; MercurySteam is eager to show off its work without Hideo Kojima’s input.

tried the demo, only covers first 2 areas and short

control fully use keyboard, no mouse. graphic is nice considering it's an old game.

gonna wait for GMG or GamersGate to give better offers than Steam :\

Ada lar bang... 

Just go change the control key yourself, I use left click for normal attack, right click for area attack, middle mouse for throwing dagger.

oh ada ke?

still feel better using keyboard since no camera control, no point using mouse.

well, gonna play with gamepad anyway.

camera control super limited lor, hope they fine tune it at final game, swinging my mouse will result in many blind spot 

Anyway ayam gonna play it with this:



   

waiting for greenman.. damn sad mirrors of fate HD not included for ultimate PC edition .

Edit
Greemangaming already available but too bad it's not available for my region? That's weird.

I thought Mirror of Fate is a mobile game?

where's everyone getting the game from? getting from gamersgate seems good.. got Blue Coins.. otherwise greenman is the best for 20-25% voucher...

Few things that I don't like in the game,
1. no camera control
2. no rebindable keys
3. titan fight is infuriating
4. where is the mini map?

THIS

that female titan requires a goddamn gamepad to defeat her! almost impossible to defeat her with keyboard!
and this game had too much QTE! its farking annoying!

No lock-on?!? Really? The first game has it. Why remove such a basic but important feature?

Playing the full game using Logitech control...starting kill werewolf ....how come dun have the intro video from page 1?

There are do many BS in thr game that can kill you so fast that you won't even know what happened. Enemies could charge at you out of sight, aoe can go off out of sight, you can run into an invisible wall and you won't know about it due to the fixed camera, unblockable big attacks could go off right in your face without any warning, attacks that damage you as soon as it goes of even when the attack animation shows that the attack never made contact, path that stopd you from travelling back after certain jumps forcing you going around the stage, and so many more.

People would have slammed the game to death if it is not a Castlevania.

took quite a long time, but finally finish the game. totally satisfied with the game

now waiting for Mirror's of Fate HD and LoS2

Almost chapter 7. Loved the game so far. The camera still proves to be a problem for timing. But overall the most engaging stuff is the story

The game starts very slow and very painful due to all the titans and very limited survivability especially on harder difficulty, but once you get pass those and get a few upgrades, the game starts to become more interesting.

Chapter 9 now and really liked the game, camera is still crap though.

Eh the Titans are piece of cake. Maybe I adapted the gameplay d. I beaten the 2nd LoS with no problem lolx. Chapter 9 now. But anyway LoS2 Carmilla looks way hotter than LoS1?

What LoS 1 and what LoS 2? I thought LoS 2 only release in October?

The titans are easy but that does not make them interesting, in fact the fight is just boring and take a lot of trial and error to know what to do and what not to.

Basicslly it is a chore.

How do you define interesting? Wasn't it the same for Darksiders as well? . Anyway Chapter 7 was...  .. It's so annoying that i died so many times becos of WASD. The platforming wasn't design for K+M. It suxs to the max.

once you got that sword it means God mode turn on... even Galamoth became super easy...

lol dunno this game is not available in Singapore

another 3d hack n slash?

If you play any of the old Castlevania specifically Rondo of Blood, think of Lords of Shadow as the 3D version of the game with DMC type combo learning and secret upgrades searching.. The environment is very differrnt though as this game has a lot of big outdoor area.

wrong quote?

You said don't know cause game not available in SG. So..... my answer to you?

Im playing this up to chapter 7 so far. For me, I cant see any point of "dislike" for this CastleV new generation.
The developer put a lot of effort drawing an art style make the game environment so beautiful and immersing.

Really really damn beautiful.

Im playing castV series since 1988 NES 8 bit.

The "GAMESPOT" should not give 7.5/10. its a "bias" score from western reviewer and it should get at least 8.5

Compare to D.m.C and godofwar....this game on par and sometime could be more puzzle challenging.

Guys, do you find any music from LoS series to be memorable? It may be me but Castlevania's music has always been very memorable to me and is a very big part of the enjoyment I get from playing Castlevania. Honestly, after playing LoS, it's hard for me to recall any of its music whereas the old Castlevania, I can still hum them even after years of not playing it.. such awesome music

the puzzle is easy.. only platforming difficult for keyboard mouse.. nowadays ppl dont use brain? *facepalm*
