"Finder interviewed Crystal Dynamics’ senior designer Michael Brinker, who is currently working on Rise of the Tomb Raider, and asked him about the studio’s second most popular game series."
Crystal Dynamics' interest in Legacy of Kain and the new secret playtest rekindle hopes for the epic vampire journey's much-needed revival.
Yeah. It would be nice.
But kind of hard to do when they are tasked in helping TRILLION dollar companies finish making their games. Just blows your mind right? Sucks the life right out of you like a vampire.
They need to do it quick the voice talent isn't getting any younger and we need a wrap up of the story of Kain and Raziel.
Man I can only imagine what a modern take of Nosgoth would look like past and present. Have Blood Omen with D4 style top down graphics and Soul Reaver taking advantage of SSD and physical/spectral plain shifting with modern graphics and updated combat ,,,, drool :p Honestly they could condense soul reaver 1,2& defiance in to 1 game if they ever do a remake , make it a huge epic arpg
The Legacy of Kain series is one filled with turmoil and upset. At least 13 games have been cancelled in the series and only 5 games have ever been fully released. The latest victim to the LoK curse was Nosgoth, a unique PvP online game where players battled in teams of four. While the latest game was cancelled last year, the community is still strong and a real convention was held this year where players met in person. So it’s clear the LoK community is still strong but perhaps Square Enix should be looking away from games now.
much rather have a game since it combines elements of a movie and an interactive experience, plus it isn't restricted to time restraints so we can get even a beefier narrative.
Square Enix doesn't seem all that interested in Eidos's classic franchises aside from Tomb Raider
Would like to see this game go back to its root. One game, full of story, mechanics and growth: Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.
This game, still to this day invokes wonder and intrigue, in me.
Heck, maybe even include the classic top-down overhead vantage.
Either way if a game is made I hope a direction away from some of the muddled and mired sequels is taken.
(Oh, and let's avoid a movie unless it can get a proper Van Helsing-esque treatment.)
100 % Agreed.
I've been asking for a remake, reboot, re-anything for Blood Omen.
A top down would be great, maybe in the same style as Divinity, Pillars of Eternity or even Diablo type look.
And we have to get the same type of voice actors that made Blood Omen so great and up the gore now that the graphics have gotten 200 times better over the years.
The voice acting—totally forgot how great it was. "Up the gore," though? I seem to recall slurping gallons of blood through five feet of empty air, or bloody corpses piled like hills. I think the game's carnage would naturally be enhanced just from being a current gen title. Not sure if upping that aspect would serve to make a authentic Blood Omen experience.
A remaster would be great but a true-to-form reboot first, please.
PS4Home explore a variety of PS2 series which could make a great return on the PS4.
Gosh where do I start?
Dark Cloud
Onimusha
War of the Mosters
Jak and Daxter
Syphon Filter
Soul Reaver
Klonoa
Bushido Blade
Tenchu
Crash Bandicoot
Wipeout
Marvel vs Capcom
Darkstalkers
Twisted Metal
Godzilla Save The Earth
You forgot "Contra Shattered solider " "Gradius 5", "R-type" , "Einhander" name a few.
if anyone seen reboot R&C footage a
Jax and Daxter reboot would blow our mind.
I had a PlayStation Underground demo disc back in the day with Einhander on it. Was a lot of fun and I played through it so many times.
I'm good with more Twisted Metal, Bushido Blade, Tenchu, and Onimusha. I'm also interested in more Godzilla games cause I really liked the one that came out on PS4. I'd add Ace Combat but AC7 is coming out on PS4. How about some Final Fantasy.
Ape Escape 3 and Harry Potter: The next generation would be good, since they're both fairly rare
They really do have a fun back catalogue of games Crystal Dynamics. Surely by the time they do this Tomb Raider trilogy they will be ready for something new.
Yes please.
The original Soul Reaver was truly superb, the running plot-line absorbing, and I've always had a soft spot for the original top-down 16-bit adventure - naff graphics be damned.
A truly underrated series.
Please let it happen we need the classics back for PS4
Ugh.. I just don't know . I want to see another LOK just as much as anyone else but I feel like the current talent CD has would be better used on a brand new IP.
Like, reinvigorating an old franchise with so much oomph should at give you at least the opportunity to try something fresh. A rite of passage of sorts.
