My experience with Castlevania doesn’t range far outside the 2D portable incarnations the series is famous for, but after checking out the first developer diary for the series’ latest entry, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, I have to admit that my interest levels are rising. I mean c’mon – who wouldn’t want to try their hand playing as Dracula?
This first diary video is essentially a compilation of insights from Producer David Cox, as well as Mercury Steam Studio Head Enric Alvarez. The two vampire lovers have a lot to say on the subject, and it’s clear they’re passionate about vampires, to say the least. They even namedrop some old school vampire flicks they feel the game has been inspired by. I for one had no idea that Gary Oldman played Dracula back in the day – definitely putting that at the top of my watch list!
