I really feel for the people who have to judge the game from a video. I'm too jet-lagged and what not to go on with my full impressions right now, later on I'll do some detailes show-related posting though, promise. All I'll say for now is that personally, I was quite impressed. Looks *pretty good*, sounds great, control is tight and gameplay is promising.
People seem so ready to knock the game... it's still being compared to C64 (despite what people may tell you, there's no whip lock-on), and on GameSpot they said that there only seemed to be one main whip combo, I know the guy who wrote it too, he should know better.
I found at least four full branches, possibly more... the coolest of which being the lightx3 then heavyx2 which does a really sharp snap that does indeed take the enemy off the ground, though it's not a launch in the DMC sense.
It's definitely influenced by DMC, but many current action games are. Instead of making so many goddamn comparisons people should actually try to put things into thier own words... though I recommend playing Legacy of Kain: Defiance if you want to see Dante's moves being directly lifted. No contest here. The telekinesis is quite rad in Kain though... oops, here I go rambling again. I have to do important things now... like change the catbox... talk to you guys later.

Neat. I hope it turns out well. I hate to admit it, but after the third GBA Castlevania, I'm getting bored of the current formula. Maybe this game will revitalize the series the way that SotN did.
