After talking to a friend, I think this game left the biggest impression on me from E3. As for best news, I haven't decided yet.

Doss cunts. If they cannae fuckin well get a real herooic type ta dae it they shouldnae fuckin well dae it at aw. Ah'm gaunnae be expectin fir this main character type to pittin a fuckin beer gless in the face ay the fuckin zombies an aw that shite. Then at the end he chibs they Patrick Stewart gadge jist fir fuckin well lookin at him they wrong wey.
Seriously, the acting cast looks good, but TES games have taught me that isn't always a good thing. I hope they don't blow their load on acting talent and then not have enough money to actually make a good game. I buy just about anything Castlevania, though, so I'll be willing to give this the benefit of the doubt unless the reviews are just horrible.
Also:
Yeah Gabriel is so Dracula in the making.
What if Dracula WAS a nuke?
Are...are you Kojima? Hideo, is that you?
You'd think from all the press info that Kojima Productions was the actual developer behind this. But they're not...
..but it makes for juicier headlines! So what better way to hype a game with a "who are they?" developer than by having a famous developer provide them "advice" and then slap their name all over the press for the game!

The whip is easier to compare to GoW's chain blades than DMC's more up-close weaponry.
No, Mathias was Dracula in the making.
I didnt see the first announcement last year, so this kind of came out of no where for me. Looks great though, will be keeping tabs on it for sure.
Yes Mathias was Dracula in the old continuity, this appears to be an entire new one most likely, a new start, a fresh reboot.
So yes that means Gabriel likely becomes the new lord of darkness, aka Dracula himself.
There could be a twist to the entire story, it wouldn't surprise me. But as you said Dracula being a tragic romantic figure is a common aspect of the story and Gabriel is marching to the beat of that drum perfectly from what we know, it all adds up. Could it go differently? Of course. They could go in an entirely new direction or do something much differnetly.
Who knows......if his lady love is trapped in a state between life and dead maybe she becomes the first Lady Dracula.
My sentiment is...meh?
Maybe it's my distaste for "MTV angsty" characters like Kratos, but I don't see anything that couldn't be at least as accurately described as DMC-like, or even Prince of Persia-like.
A lot of my enjoyment of this game will be how much Prince of Persia bouncing around we get to do in gameplay, compared to how much of that was just cutscenes.
I bet you he's Belmont in the making.
In before the "LOLZ CONTINUITY SUCKS". But yeah, it did.
As stated already yeah it did but looks like they want to a clean break and this is their way of doing that.
Who knows, what will happen, can only wait and see.
The probably feel they've done all they can.
In other words they ran out of years and just can't slot in another game that doesn't yet again start with "Dracula's 100 year slumber has been interrupted!".
I'm sure that if he ends up being annoyed at it, then the next CV he does he'll just say that it not in canon and ignore it.
R.I.P Sonia Belmont.

Save for, you know, Julius Belmont's battle against Dracula in 1999.
I had that, it was awesome.
Then when I went off and came back home it was gone, as was the case and stylus.
Totally ticked me off.
As for Iga, yeah he has nothing to do with this, so where he stands for the rest of the franchise? No clue.
I'm going to guess he'll be doing mainly the portable versions.
Then I wiki'd it and found out it has a European dev. No surprise there.
You mean a Konami made Castlevania game?
EDIT: Ah curses, you edited your post in time. Now I look like a fool!
For the record, he said "Capcom made castlevania game" before he fixed it.
Well they still have the future to look at. And I guess there's the 400 years or whatever where Dracula goes into hiding before showing up for the first real Belmont fight (Trevor, Castlevania 3). Not to mention they still have to cover the 1999 events.
I expect this to be slotted into that 400 year timespan. It may not have to be directly related to the Belmonts or Dracula. It may be establishing something else people have overlooked from what's considered canon in the series. Another important character, or object, etc.
But honestly, the only ones I really like are II and Symphony of the Night.
I really hope we get to see this eventually, since apparently Dracula actually died for real then.

I never did get the good ending in PoR, and I've really slacked off with Order of Ecclesia.
