Thats how I am with most games I play, I really don't play games for any other reason. Unless it is a game like Ninja Gaiden, where the game play is just so satisfying, you don't need a story at all....by you i mean me, cuz I almost always need a good story.

Nahh. Dracula has to appear first.

On Gabriel's online profile at the game site, I think they state that Gabriel could have been born a Cronqvist.

Would be awesome if he were a Cronqvist, and turned out to be the Dracula of this Castlevania-verse.

Soundtrack will be awesome. Just the music used in the extended trailer you posted is epic IMO.

It is very "Dante's Inferno", though. Even the story's premise is Dante's Inferno.


However, I agree that the "hack and slash" isn't a bad option. It really makes sense.

Also, I think I saw several homages to Super Castlevania IV in that trailer with some of the boss fights.


I'm interested in both. There hasn't been a decent Castlevania game in a while, and this one is a reboot, so I'm very interested in how they handle the mythos.

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Looked at some spoilers by mistake, and I wasn't expecting that Gabriel will be Dracul might need to check it out when I get the time.

^ [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Yeah, looks like I was right about Gabriel becoming Dracula.



The story itself is decent. Gameplay so far has been pretty good.

Is Dracula even in the game? Would be disappointing if he wasn't but Aria of Sorrow was still one of the best even without him ([SPOILER - highlight to read]: I'm aware he's Soma.).

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a problem im having. I am currently fighting a big Warg (mini boss) at a cemetery very early on in the game. After i get it's health down far enough it prompts me to press the RT while near the barg. After i press RT it initiates one of the quick time events where the white circles begin to get smaller but there is no button in the center of the circle. Usually when these quick time events occur there is a button in the center of the circle but not this time. I've tried pressing every button and after going through this process a dozen times i have no more buttons to press. Does anyone know what button im supposed to press during this quick time event?

On the PS3 version, I have to press the O button as soon as the outer circle closes onto the inner circle. If you have a 360, try pressing the red B button as the QT event happens. It works just fine for me with my PS3. Remember that timing is key!

I just bought the game this morning, and I just defeated [SPOILER - highlight to read]: the Ice Titan. It made me think of Shadow of the Colossus meets God of War III.

Altogether, the game delivers in spades, thus far. The voice acting is ace, and the graphics are superb.

Does this game really need a score of a full 120 piece orchestra and an 80 person choir? Don't get me wrong, it sounds amazing, but at some points in the game, it's kinda overkill!

I can feel you plight. I made I tough desicion on whether to get it for the 360 or PS3. I choose the PS3 because my 360 games out weighed my PS3.

yeah, it would be just the opposite for me....now i really think about it, there are no games whatsoever that are exclusive 360 games, that i want to play, well, that i can't get on the pc smile . but got to stop this, wrong discussion.

I am not a HUGE fan of the castlevania series, I played through sotn a while back, tried another one, and just couldn't get into it, the gameplay was to...idk, and the story wasn't compelling enough to grasp me. but i LOVED the whole dracula alucard thing with sotn, and i want to see dracula in los really bad, hope he is as epic as im thinking he will be

In Dracula's original background he turned due to god not allowing his wife to live
