I'm confused how some of yous say you won't want Konami to return to the old canon because "there's nothing left to explain/show, we already know what happens etc." but a prequel to LoS would be just as much redundant, because likewise we already know what happened to the Brotherhood, how things came to be, etc. so yeah. At that point it just boils down to, do you prefer coke or pepsi.
Since I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who said anything like that, I'll reply
Not the same thing. Not for me at least.
It's not about "knowing what happens". It's that the old canon is fleshed out. We have an origin, we have an ending, we have every major 100 year Belmont, we have early resurrections in between, we have non-Belmont side stories, and we have remakes. The only thing REALLY missing is Demon Castle Wars, and maybe 400 years between Leon and Trevor where they could put in an Alucard origin story. That's two games, and I'm sure nobody at Konami wants to deal with the hype machine that is Demon Castle Wars. Other than that, I'd rather just see them retire the timeline. It tells its story. Let it be done.
On the other hand, a founder prequel to LoS could actually be a game with a potentially interesting gameplay mechanic ala CVIII/Trine with a lot of backstory that hasn't been delved into yet. Does it matter that I know how it ends? No, not really, because that's typically the case with a prequel. And if they didn't want to do a prequel, there's probably 500-800 years in between the LoS2 demo and when he wakes up in the future in which to place a game. The difference is there's an untapped rebooted universe vs a universe that's already been pretty fleshed out.
Disagree with me if you want, fine, but it's not just "coke or pepsi".
