I guess it's too late to realize how much we're being -visually, at least- spoiled by all these trailers, teasers, and gameplay videos. As always, I'm feeling like i've seen way too much stuff before even pressing friggin start button. Damn you, Internet.
I was pretty much thinking of the same thing, as the release date gets closer, we will get exposed to even more materials regarding the game and frankly I can't absorb everything, I need to choose. for example, wouldn't it have been a better experience if we seriously didn't know Dracula was in it while playing? or recurring bosses that suddenly made an appearance? yeah, I better stop frequenting this thread til I get the game if I don't want to keep spoiling this for me ;^^
My culture taught me that women are flowers to be protected and pure creatures, we are to be gentlemen and serve them. but you know what? they're *ssholes just like everybody else!

My God that was awesome.  Slogra was great.  Gabe's double jump is similar to Alucards.  They actually called the cross Vampire Killer.  This game can't come fast enough.

Glad to see the double jump wings are back. ;D So is it possible that it's related with Alucard in some way, plus the "prince of darkness" thing?

I know it normally refer as dracula but, just a thought ya know.

It's too obvious, the 2 second glimpse of his beard gave it away.

The guy doesn't have a beard, just a big chin. Watch it in HD.

Nah im positive that's a beard and I watched it in HD, but I wanna be wrong because it would be waaaaaayyyy too obvious if it's who I think it is.

Did anyone else find it adorable how Isaacs pronounces it "Castlevanier"?

Also he mentions a "certain Prince of Darkness". YAAAAY!

I'm very gladdened to see that you fight Cornell with his mega badass hammer. I was afraid it'd be one of those pointless ornamental weapons like Ganon's sword that he never fucking uses.

APPLAUSE! I'm thoroughly confident I will be re-obsessed with CV. Loved seeing Slogra's remains. No doubt he will awaken to protect who is on the upper floors. I imagine Gaibon is around there somewhere too..

The attacks look awesome, nice effects, and diverse. I loved the one where Gabriel is holding the cross and light shoots out of it, widening it's range..

Yeah I was hoping we would fight Cornell in his human form rather than beast form. Also I liked the combo where Gabriel used the Combat Cross as a nunchuck, in fact im surprised how diverse the moveset is so far.

The full 9/10 Gamesradar review.

There are some slight spoilers regarding upgrades and such, so keep that in mind before clicking.

Also, it appears IGN has a placeholder guide up lulz.

EDIT: According to Cox's twitter, the music that plays at the end of the gameplay trailer is Belmont's Theme. He says that you can hear Simon's Theme in it if you listen closely enough, but I can't pick up a trace. Still an awesome theme regardless, though.

EDIT2: Okay, one last edit! After watching the trailer a few more times, I am almost positive that the cloaked figure is wearing a mask. Check it.
