With all this good news I will say this. I have never seen castlevania get this much publicity it's awesome.

 I hope for this game to pull off a circle of the moon and succeed

When I transcribed Cox's Twitter questions today, I sure as hell did not see that. Where did someone pose the question in that manner? He only got people asking "IS Trevor the same as Alucard?"

A few pages back someone posted his answers and one of them was about the white haired guy being Trevor and he said "no".

Like I said, if it was asked only if trevor was Alucard it could be spun around since Trevor had not become Alucard yet.

But when it was asked if Alucard (white haired guy in LOS2) was Trevor he also said no which would be BS if he is since even though he is Alucard now he is STILL Trevor only transformed now.

Its like If I got turned into a vampire and named myself "Syrius" or something, I would still be me only transformed.

Trevor "IS" not Alucard. Alucard "USED TO BE" Trevor. The magic of present and past tense! 

Now you're just splitting hairs. 

I don't think the mirror will give the game time "travel," just the ability to see the past and future.  I don't think the future can affect the past...

I always thought this was the most likely of scenarios. The mirror shows the future, and whether or not you can break the chains of fate is up to you.

EDIT #2: He responded 2 minutes later.
@gameshowvault - I just cannot comment on story details because I don't want to spoil it for everyone.

Ha! Thank you folks, I'm here all week.

Well if anything he only further confirmed it now since he did not outright say no lol.

Yes, that someone was me. 

Now you're just splitting hairs. 

Yes I agree. But logically speaking, my statements can still be correct, and it all hinges upon one word!

OR, Gabriel calling himself "Dracula". He's still Gabriel, just now under another assumed name. Same with Mathias Cronqvist, who renames himself in the same way. Hell, in the original canon, his name maybe be Alucard, but he's still Adrien Farenheights Tepes, even though he prefers Alucard to distance himself from his father. I don't think it's ever been stated to be literal that when some one changes their name, they cease to be who they WERE before their name change. Maybe figuratively, but, c'mon, Darth Vader's still Anakin Skywalker, dark clad Sith lord or not.

Thats my point!

Trying to dance around it or split hairs isn't going to change the fact that Cox said no to the Trevor=Alucard thing and now it seems as if it may come true.

I think his point is that the thing wasn't supposed to be officially revealed until that trailer was shown at E3, so Cox used "PR speak" to spin it. Now that it's out of the bag, he can confirm it in his "I can't spoil this" way.

I think maybe that we've spoiled ourselves enough. I'm for one am going to retire myself from any further speculation.
I don't want to have the story figured out before buying it because a lot of us here are really good at doing math.

A hair can mean the different between a true and false statement. Cox said no to Trever being Alucard...which would still be true Alucard was once Trevor. 
I love this lively debate over "IS" and "WAS" and showing how present and past tense can totally change things...but I'm going to just agree to disagree with you. This can go on for weeks.

[Lords of Shitow]

knowing how cox occasionally twists the truth for the sake of his games, i wouldn't be surprised if he held that yes/no/maybe session for the sole purpose of saying "no" if someone asked him that specific question. i bet he was expecting it to be a super crazy twist no one was expecting a la playing as raiden in MGS2 instead of snake.

soooooo.....by your definition if someone asked if Batman was Bruce Wayne it would be ok to say "no"?

Simply because he doesn't have the suit on?

But whatever, I'll agree to disagree.

I find that a funny comparison if only because Batman himself would tell you that Batman is not the same person as Bruce Wayne.

Yea I know Batman would be like "I am not Bruce Wayne I am the BATMAN".

Hell he has done it countless times lol.

But from a "logical" standpoint is that true?

That simply because he putts that suit on he is no longer the person he is under it?

Batman is only the "alter ego" of Bruce Wayne which means that he is still him underneath it all.

Someone should tell Cox and ms on his twitter. This is not acceptable.
