A week ago on Kojima's website, there was a weird looking evil mask. And then Kojima trademarked a game title called "Lords of Shadow"... no one knew what it was... now we do...

This caught me off guard. Never would have guessed.

Castlevania given the Movie Gear Solid treatment.

Hardcore fans are probably going to whambulance. I, personally, don't mind and think it looks nice from what they've shown. Here's to hoping it will be better than the 3D PS2 games.

Also, MOTHER FUCKIN PATRICK STEWART SON.
 
Well Castlevania has always been a Konami game, so having it done by another guy at Konami really doesn't change much. The same people are in the loop and it doesn't look like gameplay has changed much; it just has a different lead director. Games change directors all the time... Just look at Soulcalibur. The director for 3 and 4 had completely different visions than the director for 1 and 2.

Metroid The Other M is a different story however. That is a Nintendo game, going to people who have never had anything to do with Nintendo, changing the gameplay radically; essentially making it a completely different game that has nothing to do with the other Metriods, except for the fact that it has Samus Aran and Metroids in it.
 
How many hardcore fans are left after the franchise has been butchered so badly over the years except on the handhelds?

The game looks like God of War with vampires and will probably have 30 minutes of gameplay with 30 hours of cutscenes. Oh boy.

This would be a bigger announcement for me if the previous Castlevania games did not suck so badly. And would it be so much to ask for a next gen Castlevania in 2D? They should have never made Castlevania in 3D.

My thoughts exactly. Why do they keep doing this? I think the only really decent game to go from 2D to 3D was Mario 64.
