How Star Trek Influenced Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Getting back to Castlevania's roots
David Cox, the producer of Konami's upcoming supernatural whip fest, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, has discussed his influences on the title in an interview with Xbox World 360 magazine. Oddly, the thing that gets top billing comes from the final frontier...
He refers to the recent Star Trek film that hit cinemas last year as a major influence. It guided him and his team at developer Mercury Steam and Kojima Productions to take the Castlevania series back to what it is renowned for in its better instalments.
He commented that, "Yeah, we wanted to do what JJ did with the Star Trek film and reintroduce the characters and the universe. We wanted to take the eight-bit game as the template and boil it down to what Castlevania's really all about - a lone warrior battling supernatural creatures with a whip."
