This is a gameplay video I decided to do of the new casthelvania lord of the shadows 2 demo that was released for PC. I was particularly playing the game for “benchmarking” purposes to see how it would perform and the results are very pleasing considering how well it played on the kind of computer I have. It can work on low-end PC’s which is a great sign as a wider range of people are going to be able to play it since it’s optimized superbly even though for a PC such as mine it’s still highly demanding, but if it could work on mine, it would mean that people who actually have gaming PCs should be able to play it with no problems what soever, if you have a “powerful” PC and you encounter any issues that prevent you from playing this game, in a “basic” sense, then it’s 99% likely that something is seriously wrong with YOU :P.

Let me prove how correct I am and post my specs:

Computer: Sony Vaio *Laptop
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B950 @ 2.10GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.1GHz
Graphics *Chip: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
RAM: 4GB
.............................

So even just a Desktop version of a PC with similar specs should be running that game FLAWLESSLY with low setting. So all the people with quad cores and 8 cores and stuff should be having a darn near perfect experience with this game on a performance level.

That being said this game is off the hook. Glad to say one of the best action games I have played in a long time, and with-in the Castlevania: Lord Of the Shadows series, it looks like they raised the bar with this one and it looks to be a very huge success over the previous one even though both are individually fantastic in terms of their themes and objectives, where each have a different story to tell. I didn’t play the first one, I hadn’t gotten around to it, but this one filled the gap of my acquaintance of the series remarkably! and my first impressions are awesome!.
