New Castlevania: Lords of Shadow screens look hot

Some new screens for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow have hit the internet. They look hot.
Catch them after the link.
As you can see, the screens show the dark, detailed world of Lords of Shadow. They also have a slight God of War feel to them, with the main character being over-shadowed by a huge adversary.
Expect a lot more from Castlevania: Lords of Shadow at E3 next week.
The game, developed by Mercury Stream for PS3 and 360, is due this year.

Great shots indeed. I wonder how much Hideo really is involved

These shots look like captures from a video.

@1 Same as producers and creators are involved in Resident Evil movies. Kojima Productions probably help them giving advice and share technology. Thats it.
On topic.
These shots remind me of GAIA without Morphological Anti-Aliasing. Looks ok.
but i’m still very skeptical about creators of Castlevania. It is a shitty team behind Jericho and other bad games.

I remember the E3 trailer. The voice acting just blew me away. For me, what will make this hopefully stand apart from the God of Wars and Bayonettas, is a really deep and well executed storyline.

@ 5: Let’s give em a chance. The team that develop Dead Space 1 didn’t make any great games….but DS rocked

Fratos – GoW was a Rygar 1.5, so it’s okay
I don’t like the art style of this one though, it looks nothing like Castlevania.

What’s this, a news article about a game I’m really looking forward to without a snarky comment from Erthazus saying it’s shit?
Wow, I’m speechless.

@Gheritt, you should watch some topics a little bit more. Not every game is shit.
but i’m still skeptical about this from the creators of Jericho, so…

@ 10: So far you only seem to like Crysis 2 (but only the PC version) and any PlayStation exclusive (especially inFamous 2).
it’s tiring and predictable in equal measure.

@11 Mafia 2, Crysis 2, Infamous 2, Metal Gear Solid:Rising, Witcher 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Metal Gear Solid:Rising (Well almost excited), RAGE, Starcraft II, CIV 5, Diablo 3, Dead Space 2, Motorstorm 3, Gran Turismo 5, Metroid:Other M, Deus Ex 3 and Thats probably it.
and not every playstation exclusive. I really don’t care about Killzone 3 that looks in my opinion like outdated bull.
