Castlevania: Lords of Shadow PC demo available tomorrow

@Snaptrap EA games? What does EA games have to do with any of this? Get out of here you typical EA hater.

@Snaptrap

What are you talking about. This game runs and looks amazing on PC. It is very well optimized.

And skipping a cutscene is as easy as pushing two buttons (start and A, I believe). If that is too hard for you, that's sad. I wouldn't want it to skip cutscenes with only one button press because it would be too easy to skip cutscenes by accident. It's perfect the way it is.

@YoreLore They dont even mention those when you read the description on steam. All they mention is Reverie and resurrection. Probably another marketing scam imo.

@BFKZ

Yeah, considering the DLCs are $10 each on the consoles, this is a pretty great deal.

It's a super long game too. And I loved every minute of it.

@Fernin-Ker Oh and it is... just played through the demo. The difference is night and day.

Graphics options are sadly limited (I rather hope that's because this is the demo, but I doubt they will improve).. but it has SSAO at least, and it does look nice enough maxed out.

@wowgrandpa There is a simple solution for that: Don't buy it ;)

@wowgrandpa have you tried the demo yet ? or are you basing your opinions on what you have seen ?

@wowgrandpa Oh so YOU don't want GoW type games on PC?

Thanks for that, but I hardly imagine Konami base their releases solely on YOUR desires.

@ptflea1

At amazon the 360 version is $19.39 and the PS3 version is $21.95.

And if you are talking about used then who cares? I would rather buy a game and have my money go to the developer. If I was going to buy used I might as well pirate since the developer won't see any money either way.

But I'm not going to do either of those things. I buy my games and I like knowing that my money is supporting talented developers like Mercury Steam to help allow them to continue making great games.

Besides, those console versions don't even include the two DLCs, which cost $10 each. Not to mention the PC version is just superior all around.

@ptflea1 - This is on the PC though and has just been put on the PC so it's not the same as the Xbox version. They aren't going to make this optimised edition and charge a fiver for it.

@ptflea1 I know, I bought it for about that much used.

However I traded it the very second I read of a PC port; as when I played the Xbox version the framerate was unbearable.

@korosaki-ichigo MGS 5 will be on PC after release of console version . MGS 4 will never come on any other platform . That was part of exclusive deal with sony .

@EdAl2112 What, so they should 'forget' that people also own powerful gaming PCs?

All PC games should have extensive graphics options, so many people benefit-- those with weak machines, and those with super-rigs.

@EdAl2112 LOL They only make games for crappy dated hardware because they think that is where the money is! Then forget that the two platforms don't cross well, and then perform like shit on a superior system with some PC effect to throw in just to use some of the new features to PC gamers happy. Problem is it performs like crap!

@thegamegod Very well optimized indeed but to fully enjoy this a gamepad is absoluetly required (I recommend the wired Xbox 360 gamepad, works perfect with button animations and rumble) since this is a QTE hack and slash game but wow this game is worth getting for Patrick Stewarts epic narrators voice and great soundtrack alone :D

@thegamegod

Yeah, it does look amazing and it runs like a dream on my system (i5 2500k, HD 7950), although I am sure it would run very well on even much lower spec machines.

@ali_manslayer Hahaha yeah PC is getting it now after 2 years , still better than Crysis on consoles though because that was released 4 years after PC release . Console version was also useless , at least it will be superior on PC and Castlevania LOS 2 will be released on PC the exact same day as Console versions . It's not about late release on PC , it's about rise of digital distribution platforms like steam , which is attracting console publishers to PC as well .

@ali_manslayer

Yeah, great isn't it? Better than not getting it at all. I loved this game on PS3, but the framerate chugged in many places. I always hoped for a PC release and it's great that it happened.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 will be releasing day and date on all three platforms (PC, PS3, 360).
