Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 detalji

13 svibnja 2013 od Siniša Mrakovčić u Vijesti

Ljubitelji besmrtnih letećih krvopija doći će na svoj teren: Lords of Shadows 2 tek što nije izašao! Sjećate se, Gabriel Belmont je u prethodnim nastavcima tamburao veliko zlo da bi na kraju, on sam postao ono protiv čega se žučno borio. Interesantan zaplet će se napokon privesti kraju. Šetanje timelinom obilježiti će novi nastavak Castlevanie, a nove moći poboljšati će već ionako impresivnu paletu Gabrijelovih udaraca. Magije su se ponešto promijenile, a mogućnost kontrole kamere omogućiti će posve novu perspektivu igranja. Teleport je jedan od novijih trikova dok je pretvaranje u maglu vrlo zgodan oblik izvlačenja iz problema. Umjesto orbova, sada skupljamo drakulinu krv. Void Sword i Chaos Claws nove su igračke u arsenalu oružja dok “avancanje” moći ovisi o korištenju istih tijekom igre. Zvuči zabavno. Dave Cox, producent serije kaže:

Nema šanse da Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 izađe na Wii U!

PS3, Xbox360 i Steam servis će ponuditi svoje verzije dok će Wii U, kako izgleda, ponuditi malo magle. Šteta, obzirom da je Castlevania serijal potekao upravo sa Nintendovih platformi. Kada ćemo ugledati igru na policama dućana, nije objavljeno.

Eto kompletne liste promjena (hvala CVG! ):

Title

Lords of Shadow 2 will be the concluding chapter in the reboot
Anchor points will be highlighted only if players want them to be and won’t be apparent on harder levels at all
Transitions between environments are seamless
Teleporters, much like in Igarashi’s Castlevania titles, replace mission summaries
One boss encounter was described as longer but more varied than those in the original
Players have free camera control. When left alone the camera behaves similarly to in the last game
The Combat Cross has been replaced with the Blood Whip, but the two are very similar in function and gameplay
Like the Cross, the Whip covers a large range of the screen and can be used to string light and heavy attacks together for combos
Magic has been replaced with Dracula’s Blood. This doesn’t regenerate, but can be earned through killing enemies
Evasion, blocks and counters top up the Focus gauge. When full, blood erupts from enemies on impact
Taking damage empties the focus meter
Light magic has been replaced by the Void, and Dark Magic is now called Chaos
In addition to the Whip, the Void Sword allows players to regain health with attacks, while the Chaos Claws can break shields
Dracula can glamour mortals to seize control of them and take mist form for stealth, or to pass through grating to access hidden areas
