Honestly, never heard about Soul Reaver/Disciple of Kain, but the picture on that page is rather cool looking.

This is some of the best news I have heard in a long time. The Legacy of Kain games are my absolute favorites. Some of the gameplay was a little iffy in a few of them but the voice acting and plots were some of the best.

Now I can seem to get to the site because it is work blocked, but I will make sure I check it out when I get home.

Here is the main character Kain for those who haven't heard of him:




And his disciple Raziel:

If they can avoid the flaws that were creeping into the Legacy Of Kain series from SR2 onward then this is something to be excited about. Intrusive cut-scenes, less fluid combat, linearity and brainless puzzles all afflicted the various titles of the PS2 era.

I wonder just how much of a reboot this game will be?

Soul Reaver is my second favourite game ever. I started 2 but never finished it due to fairly horrid gameplay. 2 seemed to introduce a pretty Awesome story though.

Oh come, can't they just fething make something new? I have yet to find a remake that was worth my money.

One irritation of SR2 was the way you could only hurt certain enemies if you went through a routine of block, block, dodge, hit-em, over and over; it was so shallow and trite compared to first (and best IMO) SR title. Oh, and Raz was a bit pathetic in the sequel as well; went from being fantasy terminator to whinging wuss.
Roll on the reboot.

VAE VICTUS!

Personally if they are going to reboot, I would rather the game focus on Kain instead of Raziel.
