I would love to see a director's cut version of LoS2 that removes the stealth sections and gives us a proper last boss battle/ending. I enjoyed the game overall, but those were some big problems for me.

SarcasticDuck2866d ago

yeah, i literally had to follow step by step a walkthrough during that labyrinth/garden section just to fight the monster afterwards! For me, the three Belmont (alucard, dracula and the human descendent) should've fought together Lucifer (who should've got a decent upgrade).

Snookies122866d ago (Edited 2866d ago )

I freaking LOVED Lords of Shadow 1. It was probably one of my favorite games last-gen. I was so pumped for LoS 2 and was about to pre-order it. I just feel like the magic was lost with the second one. Part of the reason I liked the first so much was all the incredible scenery. Going from swamps to Gothic castles and everything in-between.

strifeblade2865d ago

The second one was amazing- better than the first and i loved the narrative.

moegooner882866d ago

Oh look more reasons to love Konami.

oricon2866d ago

Kojima was the one who got these guys in charge of the castlevania series and had iga out of the job.

kparks2866d ago

A remake of all the good old Castlevania games would be sweet like a collector's or legacy edition .

yomfweeee2866d ago

According to the interview, Konami gave them complete control.

WMANUW2866d ago

really good game as lost planet 3. shit storm haters and nothing else

IamTylerDurden12866d ago

Lost Planet 3 was terrific. The story and atmosphere in that game were sublime.

rezzah2865d ago

3 was terrible. Traded everything for the story. Like the opposite of 2, which had everything but a good story.

Warshade2866d ago

The real flaw in these games were the extremely sub par platforming. They could have really made something amazing but what they created felt like a chore everywhere but exploration.

rdgneoz32866d ago

Loved the first one, minus the sh!tty camera angles that led to getting dive bombed by stuff off the screen every so often.

IamTylerDurden12866d ago

The first game was magic, Mercury Steam added a gem to the Castlevania stable with that one.

andresegr2866d ago

I loved the first Lords of Shadow.

I never bought the second one, critics destroyed the game and i never bothered buying the game.

sdcard4gb2866d ago

Nah, it was fine. Not as good, but certainly NOT shit, I'll tell you this much.

KwietStorm_BLM2866d ago

Wasn't worth it to me. Nowhere near on par with the first one, which sucks even worse after ending on such a surprisingly high note.

Movefasta19932866d ago

The combat was way better but other than that it's still a decent game.

Chaos_Order2866d ago

I too loved Lords of Shadow. With the exception of Symphony of The Night, it's actually my fave Castlevania game.

I played Lords of Shadow 2 and couldn't manage more than 4 hours or so before putting iit on the shelf and letting it collect dust. Possibly one of the worst games I played last gen. IMO it's better not to tarnish what the first game did by playing its mediocre sequel.

ZaWarudo2866d ago

It's quite good despite its problems. Not as good as the first though.

rezzah2865d ago

Critics destroyed it but it seems those who actually played it still like it.

Is the industry hurting for money or not?

Hofstaderman1d 4h ago

They belong to XBOX. Its a dog's life....

Chocoburger1d 4h ago

Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.

Tacoboto1d 3h ago

Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"

Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.

GaboonViper1d 3h ago

Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.

GaboonViper1d 3h ago

Really nice story, kudos to Rare.

I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.

Damn was hoping for a fantasy setting. Looks futuristic

jznrpg1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though

phoenixwing8h ago

Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.

Name Last Name1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.

just_looken17h ago

With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony

So a live service shooter like concord.....

StormSnooper16h ago

It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.

Goodguy011d 7h ago

Been looking forward to what they have next. Looks interesting.

Eonjay1d 7h ago

Really excited to see them release an original IP

GaboonViper1d 3h ago

Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 5h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 5h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 4h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
