Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Quick Look

After we recorded episode 21 of the TMG Podcast, Migoy and Will check out the first hour of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. The game looks pretty fun. I can't say much about the story at this point but the gameplay feels solid and the game looks great.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 gameplay premiere will show at the VGAs

Since Konami revealed Castlevania: Lord of Shadows 2, there hasn't been much talk about the game. Thankfully this year's VGAs is only days away to change that. During the 2012 Video Game Awards on December 7, a trailer will be shown premiering the game's gameplay. A very short teaser to the trailer has been released which only runs a measly 25 seconds. Check it out below.

If you're not familiar with the VGAs, think of it as gaming's Academy awards in a sense. An event to celebrate the best talents in the industry as well as recognizing the best games for 2012. If you are not into the awards part, you should still stick around because VGA also premieres new trailers and game reveals during the show, just like the announced trailer above.

Just like any award show, this event happens annually during December. This year marks the show's 10th anniversary, and Samuel L. Jackson will be hosting the show for the fourth time. You can check out the nominees on each category and cast your vote by going to their official website.

Castlevania: Lord of Shadows 2 officially announced

Well, it's official. Castlevania: Lord of Shadows 2 has been unveiled . The big reveal happened in the latest episode in Game Trailers TV. This amazing CG trailers shows Gabriel Belmont take on a whole army with no sweat until a white-haired character enters the field. Fans of the series, you just might recognize him.

If I have to guess the guy at the end, it's got to be Alucard from past Castlevania games. Am I right?

The Konami's press conference is still scheduled for today, so hopefully we see more about this game.

Rumor - Konami to reveal Castlevania: Lord of Shadows sequel?

It is rumored that Konami is set to reveal a sequel to Castlevania: Lord of Shadows on May 31. A teaser website is up with a URL titled "TheDragonReturns", and a door with some sort of Gothic look with the 31.05.12 date above it. If this rumor comes out true, Konami just gave a sequel to a Castlevania game that is not really Castlevania. 

Some people looked inside the coding of the site and found interesting codes named "CLOS teaser". A Lord of Shadows sequel is definitely possible. Konami's pre- E3 conference is also scheduled on the same day placed on the teaser, so were definitely getting a reveal of a new game at the end of the month.

It is also rumored that this game will be released for the Wii - U and possibly for the PS Vita.

I played Castlevania: Lord of Shadows from start to finish, and yes I did enjoy it. But it's not Castlevania at all - Just a God of War-like game with Castlevania placed in front of the title screen. I'd pick the old school Castlevania 2D platform style any day and I'm sure hardcore fans of the series would also agree. Does anybody even want a sequel to Lords of Shadows?

We'll soon find out next week. Stay tuned.
