JBoc924Castlevania: Lords of Shadow had a strong presence at Gamelab, winning 8 awards including ‘Best Game’. But that’s not all. Mercury Steam also showed off an early render of Simon Belmont using Lords of Shadow’s engine. As you remember, the game was originally intended to be a remake of the original NES classic. So, how does Simon Belmont look like in Lords of Shadow’s universe? Watch the video below to find out!
According to David Cox (via Twitter), what you see in this footage was “all done in a few weeks under a tight deadline but shows Mercury Steams engine to good effect.” It’s interesting to note how the ghouls featured here, as well as the overall design of the castle all made it to the final retail version of the game. A high-quality version of this video has been promised to be up on Castlevania’s official Facebook page next week. You can get a nice look at Simon Belmont in all his glory in the screen-cap below.
