There’s no better time to bring back Legacy of Kain

Whether it’s Soul Reaver, Blood Omen or something else entirely, it’s time to bring back Legacy of Kain

SDuck713d ago

I agree. Had it as a kid but couldn't progress due to not knowing english. For some reason it always interested me and I wish it did made a comeback.

myfathersbastard713d ago

The old games are great and I would love some remasters. But what I really want is a full reboot. Bring it back to Kain when he first turned. His battles and journey to becoming the Kain we know.
I’ve never been into the Raziel character so that doesn’t interest me. But if I’m alone in that then bring him back to and maybe I can figure out why some people like him so much.

metabolicfrolic713d ago (Edited 713d ago )

A reboot wouldn't be the same with new voice actors. Raziel's monologues, Kain's razor sharp wit, Mobius' sniveling voice, and the Elder God's rumbling presence are all far too iconic to change them.

myfathersbastard713d ago

I can still hear Kains voice. I can’t with any other character. So I have no real attachment to any of them besides the world and concept. Plus we just need more GOOD vampire games. We get maybe 1 every decade.

MWH713d ago

I believe so too. The story is one of the finest but it was the actors' performances that elevated it to its iconic stature. It will be a different experience without the original cast which most probably is going to happen.

lellkay713d ago

I love both Kain and Raziel, playing through both Blood Omens and Soul Reavers and then playing as both characters in Defiance was just an imesne experiance. I want more so badly.

MWH712d ago

Defiance's ending was an elevating experience. *spoilers ahead* Raziel's last words to Kain when he finaly realized their true destiny and accepts his fate, they were heartbreaking yet beatifully delivered.. man i just had goosebumps remembering them!

lellkay712d ago (Edited 712d ago )

@MHW Stop man, i'm getting goosebumps. I want a collection for modern platforms!

Name Last Name713d ago

I played Soul Reaver as a dumb kid not quite understanding how to do anything so I just went everywhere until “something happened” lol.

UnSelf713d ago

Great fkn name. I revere Soul Reaver, it's what inspired me to become a writer. I prefer they dont even touch it

ZelTroidVania713d ago (Edited 713d ago )

Blood Omen was one of my first PS1 games. Absolutely loved it. I hope they revive the series whether it be Blood Omen or Soul Reaver.

The 7 Best Vampire Games: Embrace the Night

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.

SimpleSlave16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.

A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.

The_Hooligan15d ago

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.

SimpleSlave15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

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.

MEGANE15d ago

Thats the best Vampire game ever, but enough talk, have at you!.

SimpleSlave15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

🧛🔥🔥 🔥

anast15d ago

I've lost all hype for Bloodlines 2. It's going to be an action game.

Barlos15d ago

No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.

Relientk7715d ago

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.

7 Game Series in Need of a Reboot

Rebooting seems to be all the rage these days, so here's Chit Hot's picks for seven game series that need a reboot.

RavenWolfx319d ago

Dino Crisis and Legacy of Cain I can get behind. The others, meh. I would also love to see a Remake of Resident Evil: Outbreak, Legend of Dragoon, and Jade Empire.

SpacedDuck319d ago

I absolutely love Banjo Kazooie but holy crap is a Dino Crisis remaster such a massive opportunity for Capcom.

The engine they have used for the RE Remakes is perfect and it would be so cool to see the first two games remade.

isarai319d ago

Mercenaries, True Crime, Dead to Rights, Max Payne, Manhunt, Duke Nukem, Prince of Persia, Burnout, Matrix, Outrun, Jet Set Radio, Otogi, Kenka Banco, Syphon Filter, Power stone, San Francisco Rush, and despite not being a series, BLACK

banger88319d ago

The Saints Row reboot needs a reboot. Saints Row 2 holds up quite well, but the original needs a remake at least. Keep everything exactly the same, just with better graphics.
