He will mention this to their legal team so to avoid any C&D letters.įeel free to ask any questions and i'll answer what and if i can. I will be keeping in touch with him and keeping square enix updated on the project. We also talked about this project being a sort of testing of the waters, he mentioned the possibility if this 'informal remaster' being recieved well by the community it could justify something more commercial in future.Īll of this is still aways off though, I still have alot of work to do on the project. However I am allowed to accept donations towards the project for things like assets hardware/software. I can continue working on my project and seek volunteer help from the community (animators, modelers etc) however the work must be voluntary there fore I'm not allowed to pay for the help or charge for the game. I have been permitted to continue my project and they seem even willing to class it as a 'community project'

With luck, RainaAudron's HD Remaster can help Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver find its way to a new generation of players, and maybe, prove that the Legacy of Kain franchise is as immortal as its vampiric inhabitants.Well folks I spoke to one of the directors at square enix, It was pretty positive. In a time where games like Shaq-Fu to Bubsy have received follow-ups, it's tragic that such an iconic example of storytelling in video games still hasn't been given its deserved update. we are changing and tweaking many things in the game to accomodate the twitch from 2d look down to full 3d so ideas and concept art for everything from npcs, armour,weapons and even locations is greatly appreciated. It's been a rough few years for Legacy of Kain fans. The original blood omen had a great deal of artwork in it that is far too pixelated to be used in a remake. Hopefully, the success of RainaAudron’s Soul Reaver HD Remaster can help Legacy of Kain find a spot among the sequels and remakes Embracer previously teased for popular Crystal Dynamics IPs. Square’s dispassion for the series amidst other successful Eidos reboots like Tomb Raider and Deus Ex left many frustrated fans wondering if Legacy of Kain would ever see a proper follow-up. During Crystal Dynamics' tenure under Square Enix, the only attempts made to revive the Kain franchise were Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun, a reboot canceled before seeing a public unveiling, and a competitive multiplayer called Nosgoth abandoned before leaving early access. Though fans may likely see new Legacy of Kain games after Square-Enix's sale of Crystal Dynamics to Embracer, it's understandable why fans have become so impatient. Despite these achievements, Soul Reaver has sadly remained forgotten by the industry save for its passionate community. As the directorial debut of Uncharted veteran Amy Hennig, Soul Reaver's cinematic experience should come as no surprise. However, for all its technical accomplishments, Soul Reaver’s primary accomplishment was its compelling story. This uninterrupted transition highlights another technological achievement of Soul Reaver as one of the first games to utilize CD data streaming to eliminate in-game load times. The other PC ports in the Kain series were all re-released around a decade ago. This is a big deal considering some of the historical rights issues and legal messes surrounding this game. That both versions of Nosgoth's large world could run simultaneously on consoles as old as PlayStation One was quite an accomplishment. One of the darkest games of all time, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain for the PC takes gam.

Raziel’s spectral nature gave birth to the game’s iconic 'Shift' mechanic, which allows Raziel to seamlessly travel between Spectral and Material versions of the world of Nosgoth. Players control Raziel, a fallen vampire turned wraith, on his vengeful quest to destroy his former brethren and Kain, the master who had executed him. For 1999, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver was a groundbreaking title.
