Played the demo to the first one recently and really liked it so will be getting it. I havent really heard a lot about it though.

Long story short, it's a great adventure game but kind of derivative (especially with the titan fights that are basically ripped right off Shadow of The Colossus). Expect it to be like a mix of current adventure games. There's almost nothing "Castlevania" about it so they could've just as well given it another title.

If you're into this kind of game, you'll love it for sure. It has lots of action, a great variety of sceneries, tons of bosses and enemy types, great art, imaginative puzzzles and its very long for this kind of game. A God of War game lasts like 7-9 hours but this one will last you more than 15.

Mercury Steam is making a Metroidvania for the 3DS set in the new universe starring Trevor. No word on the story beyond that.

I hope this isn't the only sequel... it'd be cool if they expand this new universe some, but I want a real sequel too. They can't be stupid enough to release the sequel to a Ps3/360 game on the 3DS... right?

Sounds like a lot of fun. I did use to have the old Castlevania 64 which i liked back then so far this looks similar only much more advanced obviously.
15 hours, sounds good, i do like a game that lasts.

I hope the PS3 version will span through different characters.

Is the DLC for LOS 1 worth it? Its on sale this week but I still feel £10 for 2 chapters is a bit expensive when the whole 12 chapter game only cost £18.

In my opinion it's not. The first DLC is average, but the second one is really underwhelming and could as well have been part of the first. I think a fair price would be 5€ for both of them, otherwise there's much better stuff you can buy in the Store for 10 bucks.

Thanks, I had a feeling that would be the case.

Holy **** that trailer was epic!!!

Alucaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard!!!

[RockSauron]

So, will we play as Gabriel/Dracula, or Alucard?

Hm...

And personally I'd like it to be a bit of a 3D Metroidvania. But anyway, I guess we'll see soon enough

Alucaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard!!!

I guess they were having a lazy day when they thought up the name Alucard
