Ben-DutkaHmm…not long after that inferior Bayonetta port, we look down the road towards another hotly anticipated action title but this time, the PlayStation 3 is the lead platform.
Although the Xbox 360 version of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow won't be a port (like the PS3 version of Bayonetta ), Kojima Productions producer David Cox updated his Twitter page with the fact that Lords of Shadow is being developed with Sony's machine as the lead console. One other detail he provided is the fact that the camera will be fixed; you won't have manual control over it. This shouldn't really concern you, though, as certain blockbuster franchises like God of War always have a fixed camera. This isn't exactly surprising as it seems the fabled Castlevania franchise is definitely taking a cue from GoW…but then again, who isn't these days? We have high hopes for this latest project from Kojima Productions, primarily because it's being created by Kojima Productions . Seriously, how bad could it be? And did you hear about the excellent voice cast? All early footage and media is quite impressive and we certainly expect to have more info on this one over the next few months.
We'll also let you know when we get an estimated release window. All we know is that it's supposed to come out some time later this year.
A great franchise with a good developer. Should be a solid game. Castlevania has been fantastic in 2D, but it's certainly time for it to get with the times and shine in 3D too.
Since it's Kojima Production I'm not surprised the PS3 is the lead platform, just like MGS: Rising.
Now, this is the way it should be for all multi-console developers, the PS as the lead.
Then we wouldn't see any shoddier games on our console.
Agree, and if Sega didn't port Bayonetta then it would have been a 360 exclusive.
Nice going Hideki, you just proved yourself as a lazy developer.
Even kind of hoping the 360 team will fail, the I can say, Ha, in your face xbot persons I know. Nah that would be just mean, though they did do the same thing to me with bayonetta…
NO more shitty ports to tha PS3 for tha win.
And it doesn't make the other console's version worse either.
It's the way to go
If they're taking the whole God of War III cue, it's gonna ruin it. I like the God of War series, helped redefine action games, but if games keep reusing the way God of Way did their thing, it's gonna get old just like FPS games. That's why FPS games suck, because every other game released these days is another FPS, lol. What I'm saying is that they're gonna end up making all the action games the same if they keep doing that.

nice avatar choice. really.
If course it is. Kojima as good taste.
With that fixed camera I guess it won't be quite like SotC then. No biggie, SotC is quite unique in that way.

I can't wait for this one!
Im sorry to be off topic but yall really need to take a look at these new GOW 3 screenshots please. http://forums.e-mpire.com/showpost.php?p=2519834&postcount=1350
Some of you will be surprised but GOW isn't exactly in my fav 5 either. I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't like GOW as much as others think they do. However, I do appreciate the quality games Santa Monica Studios has produced. For those that love non-stop action and button mashing worthy of killing Gods, this is your game. Although I will purchase this game sooner or later, it isn't exactly my favorite genre in gaming. I prefer combat that needs more thinking and strategy over random or orderly button mashing. But GOW3 is gonna be a h*** of a game!
Im tired of all the people talking about which game system is the best.I like the PS3 the most but i own a Wii and they are very fun.
Good to see this game won't be Bayonetta'd.
