From the cel shaded look, probably a cutscene

Yes it is a cutscene. Since the bottom screen says "playing" perhaps it is part of a cutscene gallery of sorts?

Ha ha.  I asked him that question myself and was surprised he answered.  Pretty swell of him.  I decided to ask him about if there are more then 4 subweapons per character as well, we'll see if Dave answers.

Simon has four but Alucard and Trevor have more...

From what I'm seeing on the screenshots, it looks like this will be a very good game.
I like the graphics and atmosphere.
I'm afraid I still won't like the music, I miss the old Castlevania tunes (no intention of offense to Araujo fans here, it's just my opinion), but still I feel I'm going to like the game, and that's something I didn't expect some time ago, so I'm happy about it
As I did with LoS, I will have my final opinion only when I play it at 100%.
But still... I'm buying it when it comes out!

Eh, Its A must buy. Already pre-ordered I get A cheap p;astic case woohoo! Better then nothing though. =)

I think it looks really good, and I am definitely more hyped for this game now than I was initially. The only thing that can ruin the experience for me is if the enemies have way too much health, making combat tedious. And I don't exactly know where I draw the line. The gameplay trailers has me worried but I'll wait and see for myself. Great levels and cool atmosphere can sometimes make up for drawn-out combat, I guess.

This is a very good point.  Combat Grind really slows the pace of gameplay. Complex combo attacks make sense for Axe Armors and Bosses -- but it should never take more than a few strikes to kill skeletons and zombies.  We'll see...

Pretty sure there are instances or openings in an enemies attack where you can finish them in a cinematic attack action that serves as a finsihing move that should easily defeat weak enemies.

Dammit, it's getting much closer as Trevor being...

A tragic prince?

A tragic prince? 

A read quite a few pages back that you have came upon possible spoilerific content, would you mind PMing what that contends with?  I don't mind being spoiled.  One could say I live for spoilers.

[Shiroi Koumori]

A tragic prince? 

I think I know where this is going. The hunch is coming true.....

SO basically, the parody comic I saw is real?

Is Trevor really alucard?

Oh God, I really hope not..Please...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[Akuma]

Perhaps Trevor died or what was Trevor, ergo Trevor's mind was lost but not his body and hence through some phenomenon Alucard, the opposite of what Dracula(Gabriel) represents is thus born through some arcane forbidden ritual of sorts.
