Very impressive. Finally we see why Dracula is leader of the dark forces. And I think its the first time in the series, where personally do something instead of yapping and sitting on the throne.
I think original CV Dracula gets a bad rap. Sure he's defeated a lot, but to be fair, he's defeated by the most powerful of warriors(both vampire hunters at the peak of their strength and other heroes of supernatural origins). Any layman would perish in his wake. I never see it as original Drac being a pussy, but that the original Belmonts are just that more dedicated and badass, that they are willing to nip his threats at the bud.
I completely believe the Trevor=Alucard theory now. It really does look like him.
I have this feeling Simon won't even be in LoS2.
It depends WHEN LOS2 takes place. Oddly enough, I'm wondering, if the theories are correct, maybe this is LoS series's take on the whole CV3/1476 era. In LoS's world history, this would be when Dracula's ruling Romania.
I'm also kinda wondering if, considering Simon, they plan on making HIS segment take place earlier than in the original timeline. He COULD very well be present, just not in that scene(as someone mentioned, it DOES feel like a CG intro to the game). That could also mean he meets Alucard in HIS time(in MoF), but isn't aware who Alucard is.
