[Multiplatform] Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Konami still makes non MGS games?

Developed By MercurySteam + KojiPro
Published By: Konami
Release Date: NA October 12|JP December 16| EU October 17|

So word is this did start out as a Castlevania project, then they dropped Castlevania then Konami/Kojima saw it again and decided to go with it as Castlevania again. It's a reboot for the series, not tied to any timeline etc. You play Gabriel Belmont, some dude who fights for some holy order who just had his old lady killed by [the darkness] surrounding the land so he sets off to save the entire fucking world from all the evil all by himself (Love makes you do stupid shit). Narrated by Patrick Stewart (He also plays Zobek, your old dude mentor/guide).

Demo is up on XBL and PSN. It has framerate issues but I enjoyed it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Half-fuck Patrick Stewart's ridiculous, overwrought and classless narration of each chapter (the actual writing is very likely not his fault). Fuck MercurySteam, fuck Konami, fuck Dave Cox, fuck Hideo Kojima, fuck the reviewers and fuck the fans.

I hope an international investigation is made into the development of this game, ultimately culminating with the environments and concept art being taken away and put with a foster game that can actually treat them right.

I'm sorry this isn't another one of the several Igavanias you undoubtedly own.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Been enjoying it too. Artbook doesn't bother me, I actually like the idea of it being the actual case. Everything 3rd person action game is a rip off of GoW or DMC/NG now.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Same, super excited about this DLC.

EDIT: Here are some artworks/screens from the dlc:

Looks like you play as Laura for at least part of it.
