Do you know why I think LoS is not cannon?? Because it was stated by Cox himself. So, there it is, CV: LoS is not cannon, FFS!

What's there to call BS on? It was never stated that LoS is canon. In fact it was stated many times that it is NOT canon.

Many fans, myself included, have been thinking of ways it's connected to the main series and thus be canonical, but the official word from Cox & his crew is that LoS is not canon.

I like theories too, but when the game producer says that the story of this game isn't connected to the other games (from the other timeline), why can't we believe it? I'm reading theories here trying to connect this game with LoI, 1999 events... the problem with that is that these events never happened on this timeline, because we have only one game. We can speculate about what'll happen on the future, we can speculate if the events on the future will be similar to what happens on the other timeline, but try to put it on that timeline is wrong.

Is there a trick to these QTE's? I've fought the Swamp Troll seriously 10 times and just cannot seem to time the finishing moves once I grab him....

You may press the button a ANY TIME AFTER the circles converge, but not before.  If you do it before, you will fail.
So you basically have whatever time in between the circles being together, and the 2nd circle disappearing to do it.

LOL Also I just picked up the Ganondorf Punch/Falcon Punch!
FALCON... PAWNCH!!!!

EDIT:
LOLz!

Thanks...I got it. Turned out I was doing it wrong and jamming the button instead of tapping it at the precise moment. Doh!

But that's not what Dave said. The point he made is that it's not part of the old (IGA) canon. It's not like IGA's story is the official one and this is fanfiction. For what we know, from now on Castlevania lore may be built on LoS' lore instead.

While the idea of throwing away 20 years of love and speculation scares me, IGA took the "canon" in some terrible, obscure places and ruined it at both extremes (LoI's was a terrible origins story, and the Soma games completely killed the story's ending).
I can very much see the need for a full reboot to rebuild the lore in a functional, enjoyable way. I've got some mixed feelings on some of the LoS events, but let's see how they move from here.

Well, Cox said he didn't want to be "Mr. Castlevania" so to speak, so I think it's safe to say LoS will be sorta self-contained. Unless there's a sequel.

I would imagine there will be another one. It would seem the game is selling pretty well right off the bat, and it's getting great reviews. Plus if this game is potentially gonna be in the running for Game of the Year, then that should force Konami into making another one.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

LOL I love the little part where you sneak into one of the shafts of the Castle and you hear a very quick and subtle "Metal Gear Solid Theme" musical cue. :3

[JBoc973]

Does that part happen to be right before seeing the butcher? If so, yeah, the way you navigated through it also reminded me of MGS.

[Zobias]

Remember when Carmilla tells Gabriel "You will become one of us; it is inevitable."

That was one of the many allusions to who he was turning into in the game.
