Sambob Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Id heard about it several times but didnt realise that it appears to have actually got off the ground now source That top comment on the story was my instant reaction 'throws wallet at screen' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wholehole Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Wow. Hadn't even heard this was happening until now. Love the Legacy of Kain & Soul Reaver series. I own four copies of the original Soul Reaver on the PS1 I'll be throwing my wallet in with the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Wow. Hadn't even heard this was happening until now. Love the Legacy of Kain & Soul Reaver series. I own four copies of the original Soul Reaver on the PS1 One of my favourite gaming series, the gameplay was hardly groundbreaking, I always sort of saw it as PS1s Zelda in those terms, but I absolutely went hard for the story, something about it just hooked me so much. I did that thing that I really rate with story and it was believable within its own bounds, many series that go on over several iterations get tempted to throw in mad twists and turns that just dont seem right. Although this series had a few twists and turns they all seemed fine with how the writers had already set out their stall. Incredible voice acting turns from Simon Templeman and particularly Michael Bell helped too, hope they make returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I can't remember any of the particulars of the original on the PS1 but I know I liked it. So I guess I'm for the news. More excited about that Tomb Raider game. Get that finished first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 On a scale of one to ten, how shallow does it make me that I don't care about that game because they made a point of downsizing her tits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I hope they nail the voice acting and cinematics like they did n the original Soul Reaver. I still vividly remember the intro to Soul Reaver, it was so good. I loved the animation on Raziel too, it was so fluid for the time, leagues ahead of anything else at the time. That first game felt very much like a labour of love. The one thing I did love about it was the one vampire lord that was slain by the humans. Every level up to that you seemed to fight your way to the overlords and then do away with them to get your next power, I think this was the first (and only?) time where you have to revive the boss so you can do away with him. It felt very odd working my way towards him working out the puzzles along the way. That part of the game felt really desolate, more so that all the bits that had gone before it. I'm looking forward to see what they can do with this. I'm hoping that they sort out some of the problems I had with it at the time it was released. Aiming throws where just a best guess, and swimming was horrible as you couldn't attack, even though everything else in the water could. Iron those problems out and I'm all over this.

Chinzon Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Great that they're returning to the series, but I'm always a sceptic when it comes to "reboots". A HD remake would do me, too much can go wrong with a reboot. It's like remaking a classic film, what's the point? Why not remake a shit one and make it better? Anyway, my wallet will be with all yours. Didn't realise there was so much love for Soul Reaver around here. Collectively, we are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante76 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Also doesn't help that Tony Jay (voice of Eldar God) is dead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 The Eldar God was one of the worst things about the game I thought, total Deus Ex Machina. It was very 'of the times' to have some big tentacle monster thing being in control of everything, Korea had the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
