Here is the game looking like Shadow of the Colossus:
Here is the game looking like Uncharted:
And here is the rest of the new shots released by Konami for the new game:
Check out Kotaku’s hands-on preview of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow’s first chapter (and a little of the second) to learn more about how this game plays. It’s still got Castlevania elements, even if it may not look it from these shots.

Now large scale bosses like SotC and/or DMC, plus abit of Uncharted…
Even though it’s a Castlevania game, it looks like it will go largely unnoticed when it comes out in October.

Friday, August 27, 2010 at 12:04 PMActually.. i don’t really see why “giant bosses” would be out of place on Castlevania.
The whole series has had a crapload of giant monsters and bosses so it’s not really out of place to have them there. I think it’s just that SotC did the whole “BIG BOSS 3d Monster” so well and first that any big monster + weak point gets connected to SotC

Friday, August 27, 2010 at 10:07 AMUntil seeing these screenshots I thought this game was a God of War copy in the Castlevania universe.
Now I am at paying attention to this game. Looks a little Prince of Persia as well.
I hope the plaftforming is more POP than GOW.
