It just takes an old trained eye from being a fan from the series starting from the NES days to really see what is going on. You just need to understand the old storyline very carefully and observe the new one carefully
I've put over 200+ hours of LoS, observing its storyline, reading all the bios of the monsters/characters and putting the pieces together through the journal entries.
Yes, Zobek is IN fact Death, he is not a Necromancer. Hence why Baba is hunting him down!
LoS's storyline is very deep and interesting, when you let go of all the GoW hate...etc...etc. You will see LoS is a true Castlevania title and deserves the name. I just find it funny that when we are finally given a deep complex plot and storyline, everyone shit a brick.
Unlike the old time line/IGA games, haven't we been begging for a deep storyline for a CV title? I'm telling you guys, this is it.
Again - pure speculation ----
Now, don't hold this against me - but I have been a Konami fan since a whee lil' lad. Metal Gear,...etc...etc. The thing is, when Hideo Kojima got involved with this project - you people must understand that Kojima is chuck full of surprises and tricks. And because of this, I honestly don't think this is a 'reboot', I think the 1999 game is coming - just we are being blind sided by Cox's lies...etc. If this isn't it, then oh well - we are being give a deep and tragic storyline that I think every Castlevania fan is going to love and cry over after we finally see the true fate of our most beloved bad ass.
I mean c'mon, why ELSE would they be hinting that Julius Belmont may make a return in LoS2?

@Flame - According to Cox: Gabriel SAW his fate before he stepped into the mirror, He KNEW what he was getting himself into regardless. Hence in the trailer for LoS2 "I am the dragon, Dracul - I AM the Prince of Darkness, THAT is my vengeance!"
The whole sole purpose why this Dracula is at War with God and humanity is because...
Gabriel is forced to murder his entire family, the Brotherhood of Light lied to him, his family...etc. They are NOT working for God. This is why Gabriel is so hell bent on destroying humanity. It is what made him snap.
