Totally agree.

Looks almost as good as God of War 3.

Only some character models could be better and a bit more anti-aliasing, the rest is on par.


Castlevania has horrible framerate though. Especially compared to GoW.

This

Do you have the game?


I have played the demo and read DigitalFoundrys analyzation. Average fps fos castlevania is about 25fps and sometimes it dips even under 20. GoW has average framerate little above 40fps.


Well seeing as you don't have the game and haven't played the game you can't agree on any points about it. I don't care what Digital Foundry says. The game has some framerate drop but the only time it drops is in some of the cutscenes. Not once do I remember it dropping during gameplay and I'm on chapter 9.

Having only played the demo, I wasn't very impressed.

Enslaved had the better visuals in my opinion. Vastly superior frame rate as well.

Im so tired of these posts about casltevania being the "best loking game...".

The game has a static camera, and by doing so feels limiting, dated and borderline frustrating due to camera sucking ass in some moments. The cost at making this game good looking was too great and really wasn't worth it... Taking that visual movement freedom away from the gamer in 2010 is criminal and knocks it down visually in my eyes.

Not to mention that gameplay is completely dwarfed and plays second fiddle to its presentation and voice acting. Thats a blasphemy for castlevania games.  I played around 4 hours of it and then returned it to blockbuster for Enslaved with is much better.

Hope it fails badly and that they never try making a serious, story based castlevania with second rate gameplay.

Also, where the F*** are the heavy metal inspired tunes? Nothing I like about castlevania series and 10 games I played fromt hat universe is present here.

 

Enslaved??? seriously?  I loved the videos, I loved the characters, and I wanted to love the game but its just damn boring!! What is that? can I even call that gameplay? blinking object ? extreme tearing, popup graphics, camera? sheesh... I would change it everytime for castlevania...!


I'll be honest, I didn't get very far in Enslaved yet. I've just crashed with the chick controlling me with her stupud helmet... but I don't see any issues with the game so far. While it may become boring later, it seems entertaining and starts off on a high note, unlike Castlevania which tests your patience from an hour at least.

Visually there is no comparison in my opinion. One lets you control the camera and one doesn't...thats a huge visual plus.

Castlevania may as well use pre-rendered backgrounds ala old Resident Evil games as its completely static and on rails.

So you are comparing 15 minutes of Enslaved gameplay to 1 hour of Castlevania gameplay? From here on out all your opinions are void. You've only played demo length for Enslaved, which I played, and it was pretty damn boring if you ask me.

Can we put a disclaimer in the OP that if you haven't played the games then you can't do comparisons? I'm seeing everyone in here putting their 2 cents in that are comparing demo to demo.

Anyone who hasn't even played third of Castlevania has no place to compare it with anything.

A lot of the game looks average but theres some parts that look amazing and even more beautiful than GOW3. On chapter 2 theres a cave with blue torches lighting the area. It outdoes GOW3s Helios head and Hades weapon lighting effects. Although its been awhile since I played GOW3 but from what I can remember it does anyway

You know i was a huge GOW fan until GOW3, its a good game, but the level design is dissappointing imo. some of the environments are so, so..... blande. what i mean is that in GOW1 and 2 there were some very beautiful environments, like the Steeds of Time, Isle of Creation, Temple of Pandora. in GOW3 some environments are good, but i mean the centrepeice of the game is this massive cavern with large wooden boxes in it.

i mean i was expecting to be amazed by Olympus, especially as i played Bayonetta about 2 months before, and some the most amazing levels are in heaven - which is in space, and it was absolutlely stunning. so GOW3 really dissappointed me on that front, and the whole, lighting your way through dark passageways was a bit of a waste of time imo.

anyway, rant over.... after playing Castlevania, i can see i will love the art deco.

Well everyone has there own opinions. I for one thought GOW3 was the best in the Trilogy and I'm a hugh fan of the series. I had no problems with the level design at all and the game had some of the most epic boss battles I ever played in a game.

We're comparing visuals here and according to your opinion, I'm sure that both enslaved and castlevania have 10X better visuals 6 hours in. Please...One can compare art and visual style as well as technical aspects of the visuals within 5 minutes of playing them. Knowing that castlevania looks this good when not in motion, only because they've decided to freeze the camera puts it below Enslaved on a technical level immediatly.

Besides, I said the first hour of castlevania only beause the first hour is beyond tedious. I'm on chapter 3 right now and it doesn't get much better.

You want a 3D current gen castelvania game? Play Demons Souls...
