The much teased next Legacy Of Kain game is happening, and here are a few details on it.
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.
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
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
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.
@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.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
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.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.
What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.
A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.
IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.
Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.
But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.
But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.
Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

🧛🔥🔥 🔥
No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.
I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.
""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.
Daaaaaaamn I thought Legacy of Kain! then I read the article.. pure disappointment
Given that everything that Eidos touches at the moment turns to gold, I reckon this is going to be something special.
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.
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.
