  • Alucard is way better than this

    what happen with the old Castlevania 

  • @Abel1141 i agree when iga did castlevania it was so much better,however as much as it really dosnt feel like castlevania this game has a terrific story,so its not all bad

  • i love how at 2:50 the guy talking is a hundred percent wrong he says that gabriel can use other weapons other than the cross and he says the creature he is fighting is a troll when it s actually a werewolf

  • vampires ARE present in the game

  • people fuck reviews, just buy the game and have fun, GoW 3 and This game is epic, no need to argue which game is better, if you have PS3 get both, if you have 360 get this game, trully epic game with cool bosses and combos

  • the ending look like it's going to open the eyes im scared lol!

  • its about damn time someone ripped off something from shadow of the colossus. that game was awesome!

  • bring back the old castlevania!!! damnit

  • Who else believes that this game should have just been called Lords Of Shadow?

  • @matt10897 seiously i hate these comments... have you finished the game? when you'll do it you'll see why this awesome game has the sacred name of castlevania

  • Just played game on my 360,and it is a lie,no single fps drop (till chapter 3) on finishers,or anything else...Ice titan boss battle was EPIC man...Far better then GoW (yes i do have PS3 too,but i play only exclusives on it)...It took me 9-11 hours for GoW,and it is fairly easy...But here,this is HARD man,i m playing on warrior difficulty and i m dying like crazy...Specially level where you get shadow magic >.<

  • The Narrator was.. incredibly annoying, I mean like .. REALLY annoying, It was torture to watch this video in it's entirety.

    And as for God of Colossus - Shadow Of The War, Meh!

  • is this for the wii?

  • This game looks like it doesn't stays true to the original Castlevania games. It just looks like a God of War copy.

  • @dragonbreathstinks this game honestly i think is better than god of war. dont get me wrong i love god of war but the story of this game and the control and action is better. and 20 hours is longer than most games out there.

  • It's Gears of War with Vampires

  • @XIIIKingdomhearts gear of war is a shooter game this is a action adventure game. dumbass

  • kinda boring gameplay

  • Symphony of the night is better

  • completely unnecessary

  • shadow of colosus?

  • shadow of aolosus??? news flash man, castlevania had the first monsters who are bigger enemies. And to all of you who do not know it yet, vampires are enemies in this castlevania as well, they just may not have been showed here, because this is the very first trailer they showed, look at the new one, and you will see that vampires are enemies as well

  • IGN, gamespot 7.5/10, G4 7.9/10, 3D 8.8/1, GT 8/10, eurogamer 4/5, videogamer 9/10, gamesrader 9/10

  • Super Castlevania on the SNES is still the best of the series IMHO. Don't get me wrong, this seems like a good game, but it just screams God of War in every minute. Especially the fighting scenes are just too obvious. Nevertheless I will pick this up at a later point and price drop because I love classic game franchises such as Castlevania.

  • yea yea yea, god of war...of corpse someones bound to bite the style, even a little...who cares, i say, if you do, take it from an awesome game, and perfect it...Bogus Joseph, SMITE THEM!!!!

  • just repeating the obvious things

    waste of time

  • FINALLY A god of war killer on the 360. Ive got high hopes for this one.

  • The ice mega troll looks like a titan in GoW3.

  • SPOILER

    Cornell WILL be in it

  • @OpticalIllusions64 Alucard or GTFO

  • @OpticalIllusions64 is the werewolf right what does he do

  • @Hallamfoebell 2:34 thats him but idk what they do I didn't work on the game or anything

  • 0:1 :D

  • Completely New Story Line? :/ hmmmm.....

  • wow i really want this

  • Combat is quite similar to God Of War 3 but crapper.

  • when does it come out

  • Kojima just help promote it he didnt do much help just like hes not working on Rising game its for his yuong staff to work on and see what they can come up with for the mgs series also big news!!! Kojima is working on a exclusive ps3 game he said it might be a MGS5 or a new game and its going to be a big budget game :D

  • @redfootninja It can't be MGS5. Kojima has allready said that the MGS franchise is for both xbox 360 and PS3. But if he is doing some new exclusive game to PS3 i'm really excited to see what it is going to be :)

  • @rajlle Well Im not making this stuff up lol I follow his twitter and interviews so he really said “I only have two choices for what to make: MGS5, or an original game,” Kojima said. thats came from Famitsu Magazine if you wanna read it then go to kojimaproductions(dot) net or 1up(dot)com its all true I hope its either mgs5 or an original game anything is fine lol i just love this guys games. :)

  • @redfootninja Great news man :) Yes Kojima is a genius. I just played through all the MGS games. And i love the story, the villains and yeah everything. And i'm going to buy a playstation 3 asp so i can play MGS4. So i really hope kojima will make a great new game soon. Thanks for the news

  • @rajlle :D I hope you get your ps3 soon! heres my psn add me! Eurtle

  • @redfootninja I will add you as fast as i get it :) I think i will get it in 2-3 weeks.

  • I'm sorry but what you had said about relation to characters isn't fiction. It has Cornell from Legacy of Darkness and Camilla from Castlevania III.

  • the worst narator ever..... oh let me pause, rewind fastfoward, as you can see he has a mallet, he can use more than 1 weapon = = ....... after the game said, can it really bring the dead back, he repeats it again, it has this magical mask, supposely have this magic power can bring dead back..... seriously... i expect much better information from IGN not what i can already see.....

  • castle was first so god of war

    are copying

  • Gabriel screw her bring back Simon from the dead.

  • @ironfusion This is a reboot of the franchise. No simon. Plus, Gabriel is a belmont.

  • feels a little like god of war

  • @bitchkilla760 All you noobs see a hack and slash combat and you automatically think GOW. There are more games than just GOW.

  • @Johnwatsis im not a noob motherfucker and it does look a little like god of war it may suck or it may be fucking epic but it still looks a little like god of war

  • @bitchkilla760 Dude, you are a noob. It looks nothing like god of war. The only thing it has in common with GOW is that it's a hack and slash. Comparing this to GOW, is like compating Lost Planet to Gears of War, since they're both shooters. You noob.

  • @Johnwatsis shut the fuck pro gaymer lol

  • @bitchkilla760 Even if it looks like God of war(to you) This game might turn out to be better than God of war

  • @JIMPACHRAL If it's gonan be like God of War it's gonna suck major dick :L they're going to piss of alot of Castlevania fans. along with me :L... New story Line? and New characters? It better fucking atleast have dracula or i'm going to kill somebody.

  • @Hakudoshi19 I agree. They better put DEATH in it and have you fight Dracula in his 1st and final form.

  • @Hakudoshi19 I dont think this game is intended for fans, but for general public instead. They intend to make money, not to please fans (there are not that many pure castlevania buyers out there, believe me). Dont like it, dont buy it. I pass on Dracula and shits like that. I'd buy this game even if it wasnt called Castlevania (in fact, developers have stated there wont be the typical castle of Castlevanias) It's fair enough, this game's budget is huge, and fans alone wouldn't make any profit.

  • @robacc18 yeah I think your right I hope its good though

  • alucards a fag

  • @Residentevilgal no you are, and so is your mom

  • This is God of War meets Shadow of the Collosus. No spank you.

  • @LaharlD2 Uh... Why don't you try playing a real hack and slash, Devil May cry. That's for real men. Plus, shadow of the collosus was awesome. What a noob.

  • yeah more hack and slash!!!!!!

  • these rewind theatres are shit. unrehearsed, un edited.. a 10 year old could do the same "oh as you can see, hes fighting uh.. uh.. spiders.. and other beasts"

  • this review is really crappy and annoying. i never like ign's reviews they all suck

  • @geminiwolf91 the why do you watch them? I you hate them so much then nobody is forcing you to watch

  • I miss vampires. And alucard

  • @AVGN4EVR

    androgenos heroes... gays... right

  • @AVGN4EVR if you miss vampires like Alucard then watch that shit called twilight and stop complaining.

  • @AVGN4EVR Vampires are here

  • @6mastera9 I know, I bought the game.

  • im guessing gabriel is Dracula

  • @jeddrage Gabriel is not dracula... dracula is already a vampire who is also a count... dracula falls in love with a human whos name is maria... who gets lynched by the towns people and dracula then starts hating the world... so in this game its the same story just backwards...

  • @thewitheredwretch

    SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    hey man!! i just finished the game i was right lol he is dracula!!

  • @jeddrage i ended up reading it anyway on accident.....i hate you lol

  • @jeddrage Shhh your ruining the ending.

  • ok, so can someone tell me what a belmont actually is??? PLEASE???

  • this is one of the most bouring reviews I ever seen by IGN, actually, the most bouring :) although the game is great

  • The dude is like a scratched disk!

  • tes laid on veut du gameplay salle merde

  • @killpussies: Haha, j'crois pas qu'il comprenne! Mais ouais, t'as pas tort. Faut du foutu gameplay, c'est con.

  • Despite every commentary, it¡s Hideo and Kojima we're talking about, and it's Castlevania, they have to make it a mater piece, konami wouldn't risk such a great franchise to go down

  • yea kojima is the MAN!...i have complete faith in him

  • @gustavofurret their is no such thing as Hideo and Kojima, its the same freakin person :s. Major fail !!

  • Don't knock it till you try it....

  • @dustinjester

    I agree, it does use the same engine that god of war used, but thats really nothing to hold against it. Symphony of the night used the same engine as super metroid and thats a classic. This game is going to be badass. The fighting system from God of war, the scale of shadow of the colossus and the badassness of castlevania.

  • ah ahaha

    that's like saying msg is a ripoff of call of duty

    damn boi

  • @MrMagicalToast MGS was before call fo duty and call of duty is a doom rip off.... think about it.

  • @suicidewillie lol i was being sarcastic smart one

  • what you ment to say is god of war is a ripoff of castlevania??? yea thought so

  • kojima always puts out good games and as a castlevania fan and a kojima fan this should be a winner (well atleast in my book)

  • ive been playing pretty much ALL the vanias and i gotta say i LOVE the direction this one is taking, its different yet retains some basic things that make it A CASTLEVANIA. original, looks great, great gameplay graphics, and storyline. only thing i wish there was more of is interaction between different characters.

  • another belmont

  • I don't really think it looks like a "real" caslevania game

  • well of course it wont be another  metroid-vania!

  • @alex666493 yes but I hughly doubt it will be as good as the others

  • or the mask could bring back Dracula

  • don't mess it up like Silent Hill

  • @TheFenerli10 Konami is coming up with a new silent hill game. And it will be made from the eastern developers. The western developers mess up everything when it comes to making games like this.

  • @JIMPACHRAL Uh... yeah that's why the first silent hill games were so awesome... Because they were made by western developers... Oh, wait... They weren't!

  • @Johnwatsis You think this game is gonna be good or worth buying?

  • @JIMPACHRAL Definitely worth the buy.

  • @Johnwatsis Good news about the game. I read in game informer magazine for july about this game, and I heard that this game will be like sympothny of the night where you explore around the castle and there is no backtracking.

  • @JIMPACHRAL Yeah, they also said there will be alot of nods to the old games too. This is gonna be an awesome game.

  • I'm getting this game for sure XD

  • I've never played a castlevania game, but this game looks incredible!

  • Comment removed

  • why do I get the feeling that kruis whas the vampire killer

  • haha.. what if the mask makes those two into vampires?

  • Is this an exploration or level-based game?

  • Kojima announced that as part of it being revamped, the level structure is being replaced too. More open world, less linear than previous games.

  • when i searched castlevania lords of shadow on you web site nothin showed up

  • Comment removed

  • at what date is released?

  • No one is for certin yet, it's classified TBA (To Be Announced)

  • Dont forget :Bioshock 2 comesi n 10 days,get to play as big daddy :D

  • I hope this isn't a hack and slash. I'll trust Kojima to make this have a more interesting style of combat

  • @faen5863 It will be a mix of platforming, hack and slash, with epic (big) boss battles. I'm sure kojima will put his good ol' twist to it though, but the game will be awesome don't even doubt it. If kojima touches it, it becomes gold.

  • @faen5863

    let me guess, u want it tobe a fps as well? fagget

  • @izzyidl1 yeah okay asshole, where did I say that I wanted this to be an fps? Oh thats right. I was saying that i hope this game isn't a button masher, but more like demons souls or something.

  • @izzyidl1 dont insult someone if you dont know how to spell your insult. "Fagget" its spelled Faggot. DUMBASS

  • @faen5863 hahaha sorry to tell you......

  • is this coming out on xbox 360 ?

  • yup and on Ps3

  • Seems to me as if werewolves play a bigger part in this game than vampires. Just saying.

  • kojima has done it againnn. XD awesome! i cant wait!

  • well Kojima is only helping out with the character desing and background so he has not so much to do with the game itself, exept the story

  • I learned nothing from this "master of the obvious" commentary.

  • @mobiusbelmont Games aren't made to let you learn stuff. Learning stuff is what you do in school and life. Games aren't life nor game reviews.

  • @mobiusbelmont I didn't know the Irate Gamer was posting videos for IGN >.>

  • This reminds me of God of War 1 & 2

  • well i agree, i was just thinking, that this looks like Gow and Dante's inferno tha is equal of a must buy :d i love hack and slash

  • he's analyzing this trailer like it's a freakin classic novel... i feel like a loser for even watching it.

    lol, Jamez773 is right, you guys need to stop arguing about this game and get a fucking life.

  • If my hunch is right, Gabriel's ghost wife will probably be the big bad, but hey, it's Kojima's, i might be wrong.

  • when he said malfoy it sounded that he was talking about draco when he was talking about lucius

  • that si not a verwolf ist a Wrag just like in Castelvania Simfony of the night first enemy before Dracula

  • Gods it looks like some of you guys really want to be called fags by some of less hardcore gamers. For real... youre arguing over the internet over a video game. Shut the fuck up and play it and you're all butt hurt over why people look girly or why your favorite characters or storyline don't come back than buy another game.

  • so konami are doing 2 castlevanias or they cancelled the igarashi one?

  • No, No one is gonna be Canceled just they're promoting The Lord Of Shadows One while IGA is developing SOTN2.

  • Old school Castlevania is the best...

  • have that like cartoon sort of look to it like the ps2 games best 3d 1s ive played TOO good i say you should play those before the could possibly ruin this game cause i dont think it will be as good but it all depends on the gameplay and the main part of the game the sheer PERFECTION to a castlevania game the sound trackfor the love of GOD! THEY BETTER NOT MESS THAT UP!!! and btw dont get me wrong im not a ps fan boy cause the best castlevania games are 2d on ds although C.O.M is close...

  • THANK YOU BAJESS! i agree kojima shouldnt have BLOODY INTERFERED!!! this game does look graphically really good but ive seen the trailer on live it just looks like a bloody film trailer type shit this is not what castlevania is about (TRUST ME IVE PLAYED THEM ALL! EVERY LAST ONE!) although the graphics are good it doesnt even look like a castlevania game anymore its meant to be an old like english/gothic look which it has i guess but its still not meant to be that realistic it should still...

  • I am going to pre oder this game in jan 2010. Does anyone know the month and the day it is coming out.

  • It looks pretty cool, and it's sweet that Kojima is trying to bring something new to this franchise. Allthough, I hope that it won't be too different, you know, that it will feel like a Castlevania game, not just a Devil May Cry-ish brawler(even though it's to early to come to that conclusion just from a trailer).

    Looking forward to hear more from this game!

  • Kojima has officially done it! He has become the Japanese version of George Lukas (but who only deals in video games)....This is so typical! Kojima has taken his vision of the Castlevania realm & with continuous spinoffs here & some re-coning there....HE HAS SUCCESSFULLY BUTT RAPED IT.

  • kojima is higher than lucas

  • if you looked into other trailers IGN you might have noticed a line uttered by dracula about the BELMONTS. just saying you should pay more attention before shooting your mouth off, not to mention it wouldn't be the first time a decent of the belmonts didn't carry the belmont name...blood is thicker than ink.

  • konami where ganna make an alucard rpgish game.. now they cancel that and pull out this gay devil may cry bullshit with a gimmick weapon that no real belmont would use....

    this goes against all previous plot behind the vampire killer whip that belongs to the family.

    the way that the monsters sized ridiculous and not at all how old CV games have been..

    this game is devil may cry: castlevania skin edition badly.....

    i want my alucard based exploration game idea back

    this goes against all the

  • I'm glad they did that. I would rather they concentrate on creating a robust combat system than create a lack luster RPG experience with Sub par combat.

  • What the hell are you talking about? I know SoTH I was awesome and I sill play it to this day. I also know DMC 4 sucks. The 3D Castlevania sucked because they had sub par development team working on them. I just hope that Kojima productions can do for Castlevania what Team ninja did for Ninja Gaiden. I just want a well designed game. I just want a game with complex action oriented game play mechanics that is some what reminiscent of the style of the older 2D Castlevania games.

  • DMC 4 sucks because they toned down difficulty and turned it into a mindless, boring, repetitive, hack and slash game just to satisfy cry baby gamers that couldnt play DMC 3. You didn't even need any skill to play it. Thats why I quit playing on the 3rd stage and sold my copy. Just to let you know Im a gameplay freak. I could care less about the superficial aesthetics of any game.

  • What the hell are you talking about, most of the bosses in Castlevania were freaking huge, look at Balore or Legion. And how do you know that monsters like Medusa won't be in it truth be told we have no idea where this story is gonna go. And further more this is a freaking Reboot that means no Belmonts, yeah it sucks but oh well, just be glad that Konami is continuing one of the best game franchises ever

  • mrcringles, you can't really say that any of the trademark monsters aren't in the game if you haven't played the whole thing. and I'm pretty sure that dark cloud looking monster is Death. So yeah just wait until you see a lot more of the game or play it before you critique it.

  • omg how u can say "SoTN had fucking sick combat system" r u stupid or sumting?

    u dude rlly how u can compare a Relic of 98-99 at one it is as 2007/8??? comparing combat system pfff.......

    anyways this game isn't even being developed by IGA , IGA just has put Kojima to make this one while hes MAKING the another one......

    PS: if u re a really fan of castlevania u no wad im talinkg about

  • a sick combat system means its good. that and learn english ffs!

  • HAHAHAHHAHA

    Yeah, and thats why Iga just uses about 1millon (or less) dollars to develope a game meanwhile Dave Cox and Mercury Steam are going to use about 10mil € :)

    Btw i just predict that the ALucardvania for 360 from Iga is gonna fail, why? simple, real fans got tired about gay emotional vampires and that gothic shit, they want the pride of the Belmont back, no more gay Ayami Kojima drawings, just adrenaline, gameplay and ACTION \m/,

  • Who's Dave Cox ?? D:>

  • I support this.

  • I think the game's gonna be awesome. I'd be happier if the reboot wasn't so foreign to what I'm used to, but there's a good chance that Konami will still use the old formula, especially if they react to fan reception.

  • Yay, the Malphas is back!

  • hes not a belmont

    if he were he would use the vampire killer

  • Yes he is.

  • jeez u guys all u say is about julius or other belmonts or alucard and dracula and u refuse to see that this game has awesome graphics and a cool weapon and awesome moves along with colossal bosses its like dmc with gow combined that makes a tottaly sweet and awesome game that is worth buying and if u are just gonna comment to say that u dont like it then dont

  • a.k.a god of war:castlevania edition

  • My thoughts exactly...
