Wow at that gameplay trailer. I love how informative it is.

Also, the music isn't helping me curb my hype. :lol

my hype for this game is at critical levels. the music and atmosphere alone are worth the price. between this, fable 3 and reach...best october ever.

this is definitely going to be the sleeper hit of 2010. haven't been this hyped to play a game since Ikaruga on dreamcast.

edit: for god sakes, lift the fucking review embargo tonight! need more vania.

I am guessing the 360 version will be superior regardless of lead.

This is after all made by a european studio and that is usally the case then.

PS3 is the lead SKU so that has always meant a identical release in the past.

Hopefully that remains true. I need some more PS3 purchases, and this would be a nice one. I also would rather not deal with installing 2 discs.

Just when I thought I had the rest of 2010 pinned down game wise, this pops up to mess with my plans. :lol

Same here, I'd rather get the PS3 version since I'm tired of not being able to play 1-player games in peace with the 360; I get game join requests and party requests all the time and it's annoying. It's not nice to having to put yourself offline before connecting to live, it's such a hassle.

I'd just like to get the PS3 version because I have a 100GB HDD in it, and would like to install the game on that. :p

I'm probably the only person in the world who vastly prefers the castlevania 1-3 soundtracks over 4 :lol

As such I'm really hoping they have alot of the classics... I don't even care if theyre redone or not.

you're not. 1-3 are more popular, just not with these corrupted LoS supporters ;)

Bionic Commando was made by Swedish GRIN with the diesel engine, which ran better on Playstation3
Let's not forget Criterion also

Just saying

We'll have to wait for demo comparisons later, but doubt it'll be significant either way.

The LoS Twitter, said they'll be news on it soon, but it looks like it'll be sometime after launch. Going to have to buy it twice in that case for me:lol

I'm thinking the game should be equal on PS3/360, because I remember the devs stating they were trying to make the two versions equal, unlike some devs who don't seem to care much.

I'm excited and got my copy preordered. :D

Of course they all say that, just like they did with FF13, doesn't mean it's true. They just don't want to hurt sales.

Ah, thank you sir. Sounds pretty limited then.
Guess I'll wait. Shall decide with the demo.
