Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow 2 Lead Development Platform Revealed
TGH Writes: "As soon as the big reveal of Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow 2 and its counterpart Mirror Of Fate were announced, we just knew we had to talk to our good friend David Cox the series Producer over at MercuryStream."
(Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, PS3, Xbox 360)
well the ps3 being the lead platform is a good move for any multiconsole release. Ports from ps3 to xbox 360 usually go great. The trouble begins when you lead on 360 and then try to port to ps3.
Heck yeah I got C:LoS in PS3 and it is down right the best looking multiplat action adventure rpg I have ever played. It's almost as good looking as god of war and uncharted. The story was 20+ hours and the gam was just incredible. the Spanish mythology used int he game would make Guillermo del Toro weep with joy and the presentation was flawless. This game was GOTY worthy and deserved more attention.
Only thing I would of wanted is an open world style more MetroidVania and not just levels. They could of loaded between the areas but wanted something with more exploration for those upgrades and treasures. Still this is one of my favorite games this generation.
It makes sense to have the PS3 as lead console, because the game sells more there. And it is easier to port a PS3 game to the 360 than the other way around.
There wasn't any difference between the versions though. Eh I got the first on the 360 so I'll get the sequel on it as well, actually get the thing some use
well, according to face off and lensoftruth, the game performs and looks slightly better on the ps3 than the 360, but what really sealed the deal was mainly because everything was on one disc instead of two. They were annoyed that they had to swap discs even after the game was installed for the 360.
eh I could careless about disc swapping almost makes games more enjoyable in a weird way. Don't see why it's a big deal nobody complained when they had to swap discs for FF7 so there should be no reason now, but that's just me. I honestly played both and didn't see a huge difference. I enjoyed the game which is the important part.
no, it would make sense if you only get to swap (from disc 1 to 2) once per play. They actually make you swap whenever you go back to the earlier part of the game from disc 2 back to disc 1.
I have both consoles, so I had to see which one had the advantage. I chose ps3 over 360 version mainly because of the weird disc swap.
Have to admit I found it a bit annoying. There were challenges to do and you could choose which stage you wanted to play (as in you didn't need to do them in order). go back or forward too far and it was disc swap time. nothing killer but bit of an annoyance.
Cant wait for this. The first was one of the best games of the gen imo, def the best hack n slash game. I might acually be more excited for the 3ds game though, i really love 2d castlevanias. Gonna be a good fall thats for sure!
I loved the first one. It had everything you needed: amazing graphics, solid gameplay, huge boss fights, great pacing with both combat and puzzles, enjoyable platforming elements, a masterpiece soundtrack and a thrilling story with twists and turns. You're really missing out a great game if you haven't played it already.
That's great let ps3 be the lead platform so we can see what it can do. I hate when the sorry a.. 360 is lead. They ruin multiplats for the ps3. My biggest gripe is call of duty. My favorite 3rd party game and I end up with a shitty version for my ps3. This is unacceptable. That company can easily develop the game from ground up on both consoles (ps3/360) but they haven't since mw2, at least I think.

But it's because it's a 2D game that I'm interested in the 3DS CV! Hopefully we'll get some Itagaki-esque magic on that one.

Same here...I'm more excited about the 3ds version than the home console version.I'm probably in the minority though.

I also hope we'll be playing in the present too.
