And we have DLC coming much later that shows us what happens next.

[Harrycombs]

how could it be true?
Cox said its not canon what more could be said?
he said it doesn't tie into the original canon.
MAYBE fans could attempt to work it into the canon but for me its just not working sorry lol

Did you see the ending? It completely made me question whether or not this was a prequel or a reboot. It so perfectly fit into the timeline that it makes it hard to not see it as canon. However, Dracula being a Belmont does suck.

And we have DLC coming much later that shows us what happens next.

I'm looking forward to it more than the game. If its just some challenge/mission/skin/ pack I'm going to be pissed 

[Dremn]

1st DLC pack is nothing special but the 2nd pack takes place after the ending from what I've heard.

However, Dracula being a Belmont does suck.

Gabriel isn't a real Belmont. Check his bio, he's suspected to be a bastard son of the Cronqvist family.

Oh. That makes it a bit better then.

[Dremn]

You know what that means though, right? Either someone else who is a real Belmont will be introduced, or real Belmonts do not exist in this timeline at all.

[Harrycombs]

or real Belmonts do not exist in this timeline at all.

That would be terrible.

You know, I really supported this game. I wanted it to succeed, I supported it from the very beginning. But if the Belmonts aren't even in this time line, then this absolutely is not Castlevania.

[Dremn]

then this absolutely is not Castlevania.

These were my thoughts while watching the entire stream. Only time I didn't feel this way was when we heard Vampire Killer play in the music box level.

[Harrycombs]

I didn't get to see this part.

Despite my disappointment, I don't think I'll cancel my preorder. Maybe if they make another game, they can actually create more of a CV feel. That entire segment after the credits screamed CV. Why couldn't the whole game be like that?

[GuyStarwind]

That would be terrible.

Amen. No Belmonts= Non Castlevania.

[GuyStarwind]

So, before I go off and blow 60 bucks is this game even worth it? I admit I wasn't too hot about it at first then as time went on it started growing on me. However, after reading about the ending my doubts are coming back. I love the Iga time line( granted could use more lead Belmont roles). I love LoI it's what got me into the series. Now I hear this could possibly replace it? With this game I was so excited to be Belmont with a whip and sub-weapons fighting Dracula. However, it turns out that's not the case. Not to mention I hear Death isn't even in this game? What the hell!? So, give me an honest answer is it even worth my time?

[Punishment]

Amen. No Belmonts= Non Castlevania.

Circle of the moon? Castlevania 64? Legacy of Darkness?? Order of Ecclesia??

[thernz]

only cotm made no mention of belmonts

[GuyStarwind]

I mean in the time line altogether. Sure they're not in those games but they're in the overall plot. However, if the family does actually exist within the whole series then no it's not Castlevania.

Extracting conclusions without finishing the game, giving for certain speculations.

New rebooted family should be called the Beaumonts.
