There's been sporadic bits of info teased about the next Legacy Of Kain game, which has caused fans quite a bit of heartbreak. First it was cancelled, then leaked info was found but now it seems it is happening.

""It’s a competitive online multiplayer experience"

Thanks for ruining one of my favourite single-player franchises ever. One that shines with its brilliant writing, charismatic characters, immersive universe. Thanks for turning all this into an online game.

Oh even better.

"closest comparison is probably Unreal Championship 2"

Woow, sounds so much like everybody's been asking for regarding the LoK franchise. Thanks again.

dredgewalker3903d ago

Competitive online multiplayer and Legacy of Kain do not mix at all. The guy who's gonna make this game deserves to have his soul ripped out and his blood sucked dry.

Xof3903d ago

*shrug*

What did you expect? The people responsible for making the Legacy of Kain games have either moved on to other things, or died. All it is now is a game.

What we have here is a generic new IP being branded with the Legacy of Kain name in an effort to increase awareness and, therein, sales.

This is said as f%#& yet true This my all timer right here. Every franchise I fall in love with dies or leaves me. They say "its not you its me" or " your smothering me and we need space" and I never see them again. If i do see them they've gotten fat or are completely hideous and with someone else. original Mega Man, Devil May Cry, now LoK. To protect future games Im just ganna have to go back to hating everything to avoid franchise desecration. WWWWWHHHHHHYYYY!!!!

Reefskye3904d ago

Daaaaaaamn I thought Legacy of Kain! then I read the article.. pure disappointment

MattS3903d ago

Given that everything that Eidos touches at the moment turns to gold, I reckon this is going to be something special.

bobtheimpaler3903d ago

As if dumbing down tomb raider into some bastard love child of tomb raider and uncharted but not quite as good as either was enough.

They got to take one of my favourite franchises of all time and take a dump on it with this online tripe. No thanks.

thekhurg3903d ago

WTF ... Tomb Raider was awesome.

Shad0wRunner3903d ago

Yep...

Sounds like a POS to me. I wont buy it. Or play it.

Wouldve been better off either doing a full reboot, or a true sequel to Defiance. Developers who do this kinda crap...should be horsewhipped.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle15d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger15d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag15d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.

jznrpg19d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
