Here are some more pictures:

Wygol village confirmed.

The outdoor pictures still feel like something a bit new, but those Castle pictures? These feel REALLY Castlevania. I particularly like the soul ripping of the armor.

EDIT: New article describing the game without the need of a translator:

Reading the Joystiq impressions now.
Interesting tidbits:

The Opening theme from Super Castlevania 4 was played fully ochestrated and the vampire killer theme has been confirmed as one of the several remade trakcs in the game.
Gabriel is show riding on horseback and well as a eagle(really?)
Gabriel fights more like a Soul Caliber character than a re-skinned Kratos
Prince of Persia/Uncharted like platforming
Titan fight was shown looking like Shadow of The Colossus
Death confirmed
Skeletons are in(for those who were concerned)

Im liking this, im liking this alot, now if we can just get some footage.

This screenshots screams Castlevania. The castle hallways looks kinda scary and lightning is great and atmospheric. It's basically what I've always wanted the castle interior to look like.  :D

Wygol village confirmed.

Those are actually the same pictures at the other site.

But yeah, regarding Wygol, now those two who were debated whether or not Wygol Cemetary meant that the town of Wygol would also be present could put a sock in it. That whole argument of "Just because it's called Wygol Cemetary doesn't mean Wygol is a town in this game." is rendered moot! It IS confirmed that LoS has referenced OoE by including Wygol Town as a location. That puts a smile on my face. It would be cool if Jova was also included.

New screens look great and the info is interesting. My only gripe now is no playable demo til E3 in June? That probably means a fall release at the earliest. I hate to sound impatient but a firm release date would be nice. That said, I trust there's a method to their madness. They seem to be taking their sweetass time with developing this game, which is fine cuz based on what we've seen I think it will be worth the wait. But still I was hoping we'd at least have a date by now.
*I'm not a newbie...I had several hundred posts with this screenname on the old board*

Haha. Gabriel's exploring the city Albus's gun is named after, Agartha (Well, LoS is using a different spelling).

Check out this CV: LoS fan made trailer. I was really impressed with the song they used, and the pace. Got me amped!

Scroll down a bit:

Those are by far the best i've seen yet. Also, the lyncan he is battling looks a little generic but i actually think the face looks really cool. Sorta American Werewolfish.

"That being said, there are obviously characters and enemies (like Death) that are nods to previous games in the series," quote from gamespot. OOOOOHHHHH SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
