I'm just happy that something like this existed when I was growing up. I don't think there's one game that can compare to the story telling of this one or the voice acting. Just happy to have been alive while this was going.

Legacy of Kain managed to include time travel as a consistent plot point and had it all *make complete sense* and even improve the story, instead of being an easy crutch. That ALONE speaks volumes on how genius the writting for the overall series is. And I hope to God we get a final game to cap the series off properly while Simon Templeman (Kain) is still with us! As for whatever is being worked on, I hope we get remasters/remakes of the older games. Because I feel they genuinely would have done better nowadays than when they released due to their heavy focus on story. Hell, if all the Soul Reaver games had the gameplay of Defiance (minus the awful camera) the series would have been even better recieved

SR1 was heavily criticized?? By who? I don't know about that - I played it when it first came out in the late 90's and I remember it getting a lot of praise at the time.

4:58 we don't know if elder god revived him, even Raziel says this at some point. In fact there's the possibility of just being revived due to wheel of souls being stagnant which is why we see other soul wraiths in the ps2 game

Did you hear about the prequel graphic novel in the works?! Ot was announced this past week! This December on Kickstarter! Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver The Dead Shall Rise

Greatest series to ever grace a console.. I would love a remake, but I don't think I could stomache a "modernization" or change to the story

I remember the time when just reading "Legacy of Kain" on the box was enough to give you a stamp of quality after a friend introduced me to the first Legacy of Kain game and showed me some broken builds.

I agree that dead sun should be released but as a seperate story to the main timeline, no Raziel because he exist entirely within the reaver after Defiance. What needs to be made is the story of how main line Kain kills or convinces BO2 Kain of his past/future failure in order to repair the corruption created by the big squid , this would set up a way to create a Balanced world full of humans and a stable ruling/guardian caste of vampires like the past he learnt of (also because his sword would let him know various important bits of lore).

i would love for remasters of the games to play on newer consoles. Soul Rever was my introduction to the franchise and i loved it because it was the only game that gave me a challenge at the time

Corrections: Bloodborne 2 is on Gamecube also. Soul Reaver 2 is not a Ps2 exclusive: there is a pc version

"...they should simply finish Dead Sun", no, it was cancelled for a reason and it's better for it to stay dead. Despite its name, it had almost nothing to do with the franchise, it felt soulless. They went too far from the core with this one. Judging on the presented demo, I'm starting with the dialogue. It was dumbed down, having way too much profanity for no reason, while the franchise is known for the shakespearen style. The voice acting presented was decent, however the aforementioned dialogue didn't make it shine. The gameplay looked like one of the Arkham games, but this is not necessarily a bad thing, the gameplay not being the strong point of the LoK franchise. The community does not need a multiplayer game, but a closure to the story, something still focused on Kain, Raziel, The Elder God and the Hylden Lord who is trapped again in the Demon Realm. Too bad Dark Prophecy never saw the light of day, it is probably what we needed. Personally I'd want to see a remake of the franchise, revamping the combat and puzzles, with a level design similar to what Elden Ring brought to the gaming industry, while keeping the story, the OST and the voice acting intact.

Dead son had nothing to do with the legacy of kain series. It was a spin-off. I’m ok with them killing that game. Dark prophecy was suppose to be the conclusion to the series. They should definitely do that one. A remaster of the series would be dope too.

Namco, when will the new Klonoa game be released?

Definitely Needs a revival

nice video!

...there are more than 2?

Hello😃 gamecircletv are you going to make😊 just dance history games😍 are you going to upload videos😚 gamecircletv😘 okay man🥰

dead sun looked and still looks terrible. if they bring the series back, i want a good game give us kain

They should have named the last attempt "Dead Franchise" because that's what we have now. The high effort dialogue writing was already dropping hard in Defiance and Dead Sun had the need to use cursing words on Elementary School level.

These games probably couldn’t be made today. Writing just is t there anymore and AAA games recycle the same voice actors.
