I'm really digging this. Something to keep an eye on for sure.

Dude, I'm stoked.

The only thing that irks me about Castlevania now is the character artwork. I wish they'd throw us a new Castlevania sans the anime/emo styled character bullshit - these guys should look more like warriors and less like some of the pansies hanging out at Starbucks.

I haven't talked to anyone who likes the new art style... but I guess I don't talk to those types of people anyway.

That being said, I still love the gameplay, and I can't wait.

+1!!!

I don't like the whole anime style artwork.

The voiceovers are terrible as well. I can't believe they actually paid people to record the dialogue. It's so bad. I wish there was an option to have Japanese voices.

This HD version looks kind of cool, but there's something about the original 8-bit versions that can't be beat. Next to those, Symphony of the Night is my favorite.
 
Unfortunately, the video footage did not impress me.

And I guess I'm the only one that likes the art style, though I think most of the characters look needlessly gay.
 
Yeah,most people bashed it with the main point of their bashing being that it's all recycled sprites,etc and little to nothing new.While I like anime and anime artwork,it just doesn't seem to work with Castlevania games.I liked the SOTN,Rondo,LOI,and COD style of artwork even though it seemed that most of the male characters looked way too feminine.

The judgement artwork (done by the artist from the Death Note anime) wasn't bad although everytime I saw it it just made me think of the Death Note anime.

Just waiting for Lords of Shadow.:D

This alone I think would compel me to buy this game.

Zobek (voiced by actor Sir Patrick Stewart[7], who additionally narrates the game[14]).

SOLD!

First time I saw the trailer, I heard that voice, and was like.... "wtf... wait... YES" Kinda did a double take when I hear Patrick Stewart...

hells yeah
 
holy shit. this game makes me not want to live.

I saw you playing co-op, I think. That bad? I was checking out the trial but wasn't too impressed. I was hoping co-op would be better...guess not?
