GR-UK: Enric Alvarez, Mercury Steam studio head, and producer Dave Cox have revealed some tidbits about Lords of Shadow 2, talked the importance of 3DS title Mirror of Fate, and discussed their plan for the three-part saga.
Watch the full GRTV interview as they discuss bringing the trilogy to an end ("this is going to be beyond epic...people will talk about it for years to come"), engine tweaks ("we've - not entirely rebuilt, but heavily built again - the engine to accommodate the few things that we consider were necessary to improve the experience") and Mirror of Fate's placement ("you got the two Lords of Shadow games - they're bookends, while Mirror of Fate is the middle, that fills in a lot of the detail") and a whole lot more.
The history of MercuryStream's development of Metroidvania games up to Metroid Dread.
"In a sea of games inspired by Metroid and Castlevania, only one company has ever worked on both series proper."
From memorable boss fights to chilling lore revelations, here's why Lords of Shadow 2 may be the most underrated Castlevania game.
Well i enjoyed my time with it and thats all that matters too me, i could not care less what others thought. Please bring 3 out Konami or at least a 1 and 2 remasters.
Same here. I own it on PS3 and PC and love the title. The soundtrack is amazing and the tone they paint for the character of Dracula with Robert Carlyle's great voice work is perfect.
Same here, I’m a huge castlevania fan, have all of the games. Even the remake that was made on the Wii.
And I have the PS3 and PC versions of both games as well.
They look really cleaned up on the xbo through bc. The LoS games are some of my favorites.
it was ok. but the hide and seek BS was some of the dumbest stuff in the world.
I remember the intro being fun an action packed. Then the game became "OK" with a lame hub system and sneaking around as a rat. The modern time frame levels weren't the great either. Lord of Shadows 1 was much better and I wish they had continued with that formula.
Four great games are on the way for Xbox Live Gold members this month.
Batman: The Enemy Within – The Complete Season.
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.
Sonic Generations.
I'm a huge Shantae fan, but this selection is weak. It's official, MS is definitely skimping on GWG in favor of GP.
I mean...I guess LoS 2 is cool.
Don’t you mean it’s “your opinion “ that MS is skimping on GWG? I happen to like LOS2 and will be glad to play through it again. And GP is a PAID service don’t you think that a PAID service should offer better quality games? Yes yes I know XBL is also a paid service but that’s a different conversation
No it's an actual fact. Every comment I leave is a fact.
"And GP is a PAID service don’t you think that a PAID service should offer better quality games?"
Yes, I actually do think that a PAID service should offer better games, but as you also made mention and casually dismissed XBL is a PAID service and don't you think a PAID service should offer a better selection of games?
@gangsta_red
XBL is a paid service for ONLINE SERVICES aka online multiplayer. The free games given every month is just a bonus. Stop bitching.

Finished Batman TEW a few months ago. It was the second worst TT game I've played. Really didn't enjoy it.
I hope those that do play it get more enjoyment out of it than I did.
As a non Xbox gamer, why are the free games availability scattered around.
I mean Batman is available the whole month
Castlevania is available March to the 15th
Shantae is available starting March 16th
Sonic is available the 16th-31st.
Has always been like this?
Yeah its been like that. They do 2 games at the 1st of the month and then the other 2 on the 15th, some of the games are available for longer periods, it's depends on what they work out with the publisher .
You just have to "claim" it from the store within those time frames so it doesn't matter that much to people who are interested, but I agree it is kinda weird.
I'm really hoping this turns out well. I enjoyed LoS, but at the same time it was easy to see many areas that could use improvement (better pacing with less drawn-out puzzles, fewer invisible walls, etc.).
I felt the game had a ton of potential, so hopefully the sequel can capitalize on it.
really nice looking forward to it
god damn Im excited for mirrors of fate.
I demand that you remove Castlevania from this topic and refer to this title as Lords of Shadow!
