Remember that 7-minute-plus trailer for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow from Tokyo Game Show? Konami's got more where that came from, issuing a new, gameplay-filled preview of Mercury Steam's take on Castlevania that can go all night.
OK, so it really goes for about 11 minutes and change. But it's narrated by Jason "Lucius Malfoy" Isaacs and describes what Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, the greatest 3D hope the series has ever had, is all about. There's a big focus on the characters, the combat and the various reasons why this Castlevania game really isn't like any of the others.
If you've waited this long to learn about Lords of Shadow, it might be a good idea to grab a turkey leg and watch. You don't have much time, as the game whips its way to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next week, specifically on October 5 in North America.
DISCUSSION
Do you need much knowledge of Castlevania in order to jump into this one?
I've never played Castlevania games, mainly because it seems there are so many of them and I'm a stickler for playing a series in it's entirety (and in order to boot), but I'm tempted to look into LoS if I'll be able to understand everything.
Note: If this is answered in the video then I apologize, but it's taking an unbearably long time to load. :{
