Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 synopsis revealed
Wondering just awaits Dracula in Lords of Shadow 2? Well, now we know:
In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, the origin of Dracula and his legendary connection with the Belmonts was revealed. In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, fans can expect thrilling new twists and challenges. In this shocking conclusion to the Lords of Shadow saga, Dracula returns once again, weakened and yearning for release from his immortal bonds. Facing a new and powerful threat, the vampire lord must reacquire his old powers – and only his castle holds the key. However, the famed Belmont clan also seek his ultimate destruction.
Dracula to be the main character in Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Producer David Cox has confirmed that we’ll be playing as a Dracula (Gabriel Belmont) in the sequel. Obviously as Dave has said, that means vampire powers. I still want some whip action though, it’s just not the same without a whip.
Zone of the Enders HD Collection footage, comes with Metal Gear Rising demo
Konami has put out a video showing off the new HD remake of ZOE. It’s looking rather nice and if you’re still on the fence about picking it up this fall, perhaps the inclusion of Metal Gear Rising demo may help push that decision.

Prepare to be sucked! Konami’s Pre-E3 presser is this Friday morning
Konami’s 2012 E3 conference is the thing of legends. I’ve said this repeatedly but no one can ever come close to that amount of awesome in one sitting. But who knows maybe Konami can pull it out this year in their Pre-E3 conference. You can catch all of the madness this Friday morning. Expected to be at the show is Metal Gear Rising and a sequel to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for both PS3, 360 and also one for Nintendo’s 3DS. [Time zones vary by location and I’m not Doctor Who so you’re gonna have figure the time out yourself. PS: Bow Ties are indeed cool.]
Zone of the Enders sequel announced, uses new FOX engine
Konami and Kojima Productions have dropped a megaton of balls shattering proportions. Kojipro is working on an HD sequel to ZOE2. Code named ‘Enders Project’, the latest ZOE will utilize Kojima Productions new FOX engine and will be set in an ancient civilization instead of a futuristic setting. More details as they come.
ZOE HD Collection Premium package
Zone of the Enders HD Collection coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 this October
Konami has at last announced a release month for the HD remakes of the most frenetic balls-to-the-walls action mech games ever made. If you somehow missed ZOE: The 2nd Runner (which was 1000 times better than the original) you’ll finally have your chance. ZOE2 pulled some some jaw dropping particle effects out the PS2, so much so that I figured Konami had discovered a new processor in there back in the day. No price point yet, but expect news on that and more at Konami’s pre-E3 show next Friday.
