Here’s something that should’ve been available on the PlayStation Network at launch: Final Fantasy VII. With a stellar voice cast (Patrick Stewart!) and action that ranges from chain-hooking a giant demon’s tongue to wrestling a werewolf on horseback, this looks like a great game.Ĥ) Final Fantasy VII is out today on PSP and PS3 However, if thetrailer aboveis any indication, we’ll play anyhow. So you can see why we’re not quite convinced of its place in the lexicon just yet. Oh, and is it relevant that this hasn’t always been a Castlevania game? It was originally a God of War wannabe, announced last year as just “Lords of Shadow,” and was apparently retrofitted to match the Castlevania franchise once Konami got involved. Plus, it’s being developed not by Konami in Japan, but by a third-party developer headquartered in Madrid, Spain. Then there’s the fact that the development is being overseen not by the series’ longtime master Koji Igarashi, but by Hideo Kojima, the mastermind behind the Metal Gear franchise. We’re just not sure it actually IS a Castlevania game.įor one, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is 3D – and we don’t have to remind fans how unkind that third dimension has been to the series thus far. We’re thrilled that publisher Konami just announced a new game in its beloved Castlevania series. This is particularly helpful taking down the Big Daddy.ģ) There’s a new Castlevania… but sorta notĭon’t get us wrong. The hacking minigame has been replaced with a simple timer, but the effect is the same: the turret fires on your enemies. We also saw hackable turrets a player can take over. The player who picks it up becomes a near unstoppable tank, but when he’s killed the suit respawns.
Best of all, a Big Daddy suit randomly spawns on the map. Plasmids can be charged for more damage, and Circus of Values machines sell Eve to replenish your supply. Plasmas are equipped in the off hand, so there’s no switching time. The map we saw was culled from the Kashmir Restaurant area from the first game. As you test their stuff and level up, they make new products available to you.įrom the apartment, you launch into the action. You’re a product tester for Sinclair Solutions, a group developing new weapons and plasmids to profiteer off the conflict. They’ve also created a story wrapper around why you get upgrades.
You have an “apartment” that serves as your hub for upgrading your character and saving weapon/plasmid loadouts.
BioShock 2’s multiplayer is set one year before the events of the first game, during the civil war that destroys Rapture. Our first look at multiplayer has our veins itching for an injection of gene tonic. 1) BioShock 2 multiplayer takes place during the fall of Rapture
