" I’ve done two threads on this game already; one in 2013, with artwork and UI graphics, and another earlier this year with two videos. Also, this thread about all the cancelled games in the series is relevant if you haven’t done the background reading!"
Lots of video games get canceled due to studio closures, lack of resources, and other issues, but we would have loved to play these 10 canceled games.
Not only was P.T. an awesome demo, but just the way it was dropped on us and eventually revealed as Silent Hills was one of those really special moments in gaming. I don't even want to be reminded of it now.
Konami screwed up. They could easily cut the Silent Hills ending cutscene and sell it for 5/10 bucks and I would easily buy it again. The demo was tons of fun and terrifying each time, I loved to make friends play
Plot Twist: PT was a tease, Silent Hills was fake, the Konami fallout was staged, and Death Stranding is actually Metal Gear Solid VI. 🤯 #kojimawoulddothis
That would be the long con to end them all, but I don't know if even Kojima would do all that. Then again, Metal Gear Solid 2 was a thing.
I just want a Getaway 3. I mean Sony has nailed the cinematic, open world genre for a while now. A return to the Getaway with the tech they got now would be so good
Six Days in Fallujah was a game I would have been interested to see how it would have turned out. SOCOM like tactical shooter with destructive environments. Lots of work on it and then it was just scrapped.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "It turns out that Square Enix is keeping us from exploring Nosgoth in our favorite vampire series Legacy of Kain. Let's discuss the series' past."
I would love another Legacy of Kain game. What a great series. Hard to imagine it's been so long since the last game.
They need to stop being d-bags @ Square Enix and allow this franchise to resume. I used to loveee these games when I was a young PC gamer growing up. They have the old ones remastered on PS3 (via PS2 classics) but nothing on PS4, especially a new chapter.
Not sure if there's a way to edit comments on N4G (lurked here for a while but new to posting), but let me rephrase what I said - I shouldn't call them d-bags because I actually love their games (Tomb Raider reboots, Deus Ex, Final Fantasy, etc) I am just disappointed they are blowing off my favorite childhood franchise which they could do so much with still! And thanks for the replies.
I really liked Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. Hell, i loved it! I named my dog after the main character, Raziel, even! I liked Soul Reaver 2 too and i didn't like so much Defiance.
But i'd really like a remaster/remake, maybe merging together all the games to make a huge one. Or maybe let you choose when you start: Raziel so you can play all the Raziel games, from his point of view; Kain, so you can play from the beginning (but i didn't like to much the first LoK... i'd prefer a 3rd person action/adventure) etc etc.
Developing a game is an intricate process. Thousands of lines of code have to be written with thousands of graphical assets. The publishers have to spend thousands of dollars on marketing. Speaking on the behalf of the developers, it hurts us beyond measure when we don't get to witness the fruit of our labour.
Here are The Gaming Report's top 5 games that did not see the light of day.
A new legacy of kain game on current gen is needed. done well it will be amazing
This is my 1/2nd fav all time fav franchise I really wish I can get a sequel some time in the next few years.
Based on the video they released about this game, it's a good thing it was cancelled.
as far as i know this was a reboot, so the story of kain and raziel would be canned and we would never know how the hylden messed with nosgoth, so its actually good its cancelled
Glad this LOK was scrapped, the gameplay looked to far removed from the originals and Soul Reaver, and the tasteless writing made me urk.
This is Amy's baby, only she should write for the series unless a step by step reboot was done.
