http://www.dsogaming.com/news/castlevania-lords-of-shadow-2-is-coming-to-the-pc/

Now here is a nice surprise. Mercury Steam has just announced that Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will be coming to the PC in 2013. This is the first Castlevania title that hits the PC platform, and here comes the one million question: will it be a shoddy port as Dark Souls or will Mercury Steam polish it to feel like a PC game?

Unfortunately, we don’t have additional information about it, but we are really looking forward to see what Mercury Steam has in store for us.

In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Dracula returns once again, weakened and yearning for release from his immortal bonds. Facing a new and powerful threat, the vampire lord must reacquire his old powers – and only his castle holds the key. However, the famed Belmont clan also seek his ultimate destruction.

the only 3d castlevania i would consider worthy of the name would be dark souls if it carried the castlevania name.
otherwise all of them can go fuck themselves, none of that crap comes close to symphony of the night.
i am not saying lords of shadow was a bad game, i actually found it to be a very good dmc/gow clone despite one of the most horrible framerates i witnessed, but it is not castlevania!

I never played any other Castlevania games, so for me Lords of Shadow was really great. But now I don't have derpbox anymore and I was afraid I wouldn't have a chance to play the sequel, and now this news.

I actually like how they are taking the story of Castlevania starting with Lords of Shadows 1 & 2, and now also the 3DS game. There are a lot of flaws in LoS1, but I still like the story and I think they can improve and make a great serie out of it.

So Much Win Great news for me because I'm a huge fan of God of War, both franchise and rip-offs.

I agree, however, the best Castlevania of all time is Symphony of the Night, which alongside with Aria of Sorrow from GBA are among my favourite games of all time.

It's actually quite funny how I found out about SotN. Very Happy I was once browsing a list of the best PSX games of all-time, and surprisingly (well, at least back then) for me on the second place was a game I had never heard of before. So I immediately downloaded it and ... soaked up for a month. Surprised

It was a shitty button masher with terrible gameplay mechanics and convoluted story.

And first and foremost. It was boring as hell


Boring corridor button masher Laughing

I loved first one , challenging puzzles and combat..some annoying camera positions in some places but overall I really enjoyed it. Exploration and backtracking on some previous levels was decent..that's why I didn't found all collectables and additional XP bonuses.

I loved it too. One of the games I hoped would be ported to PC (along with Alan Wake and Brütal Legend).
Looking forward to playing it again with a stable framerate - hopefully.

Yes, The Darkness 1 is also one of those games that should be ported.
However, I disagree that Alan Wake, Brütal Legend, Lords of Shadow and Mortal Kombat 9 are shit.

Nice. Smile

From what I remember, the first installment had a very good graphics as for consoles but sadly was running somewhere within the 20 - 25 FPS range most of the time. If the port is good, maybe it will be possible to experience it in 1080p 60 FPS glory.

Plus, like I said before, action-adventure or slasher/puzzle/platformer games are always welcome when it comes to my gaming needs and taste. Smile
