ewww polygons, bring back my lovely sprites! If the gameplay is going to be 2D anyway why not use lovely sprite work? 

Looks good.

Some new scans

This "map" pic you posted is the proof we needed it's really "spiritual successor to Portrait of Ruin and Order Of Eclesia"

I'm still not sold on this game, but it's looking good.

Graphically it looks crazy good. And best news for me personally is that it looks so Lords of Shadow.

I wander why true fans of Castlevania despise Lords of Shadow so much. I respect their opinion but I don't quite understand it. Probably because I have barely touched any original Castlevania games. I only know that Lords of Shadow is a fantastic game in itself, I just can't judge it as a Castlevania game.

This is a must have and so is the PS360 version of LoS 2.

Well they said the gameplay is far more reminiscent of  Dawn of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia, so we'll have to see when they show more or when people get their hands on it.

This looks good.

Excellent and its a direct sequel!!

This all looks good but have we heard anything about the music in the game? That's like one of the most important things about Castlevania.
