Hideo Kojima’s Castlevania Game Is Looking Better
When we last saw Castlevania: Lord of Shadows — a.k.a the Castlevania game made by Konami’s Metal Gear Solid team — it looked… well, it looked like every other shitty 3-D Castlevania game, despite having a voice over by Patrick Stewart. Konami has revealed a new, extended trailer which is considerably improved, although it’s not so good that it makes you stop wishing for a goddamn 2-D Castlevania sequel like everyone on the whole goddamn planet wants and Konami just adamantly refuses to make. But it is better, especially if you like close ups of stone masks, big-ass wolves howling, or Belmonts in utterly ridiculous outfits.
