Castlevania: Lords of Shadowis looking really good. The new game has no ties to previousCastlevaniagames, but as producer Dave Cox told us,Lords of Shadowbegan life as a remake of the original 8-bitCastlevania:
The original concept was to remake the original classic 8-bit game in 3D. That was our original pitch, funny enough, with Simon Belmont and everything. We soon realized as we were doing the prototype that actually that’s probably not a good idea. It’s already been done before withSuper Castlevania IVanyway. So we thought let’s do something really original, really new.
And that’s exactly what we’re getting now withLords of Shadow. Dave says this is a “love letter” toCastlevaniafans and we definitely got that sense from last night’s presentation. Needless to say, I’m really looking forward to a hands-on at this year’s E3.
