I just started playing this on duck station. Don’t mind quitting and waiting for this. Not that a remaster is going to be all that different.

Bought however I recommend you somehow play Blood Omen first. It’s a different game but fills in the story and a great game in itself!

I´m so tired of remasters BUT HOLLY COW!!! Yes, i´m all for this one! But why the timed exclusive? PC and Xbox users deserve this game also...or will it go straight to Gamepass?
Finally, like in every SR post i´m in, i really hope someday the cancelled Soul Reaver 2 Dreamcast port gets leaked or released or something....
Where did you get timed exclusive from? This trailer was uploaded early to PSN which id why it only has PlayStation platforms on

Soul Reaver 2 is a shitty convoluted game. One of my biggest disappointments of the ps2 generation. Loved the first Soul Reaver game though.

Remaster Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain you cowards. The Soul Reaver games kind of suck actually.
Bummed Blood Omen isn't there as well. Still, a damn good get. The block puzzles are going to make people cry.
Isn't Blood Omen the rumored Bluepoint remake?

 
Just finished System Shock R. That one was so good.

Getting this too.

Thankfully its closer to original rather than a new game.

I do remember the sequel being a bit of a slog, when compared to the first. But I still thought it was good. Better than most of the crap releasing these days.
 
Huh, what? Just like that?
Soooold!

Kain is deified. The Clans tell tales of Him. Few know the truth. He was mortal once, as were we all. However, His contempt for humanity drove him to create me, and my brethren.
I am Raziel, first-born of His lieutenants. I stood with Kain and my brethren at the dawn of the empire. I have served Him a millennium. Over time, we became less human and more ...divine. Kain would enter the state of change and emerge with a new gift. Some years after the master, our evolution would follow. Until I had the honor of surpassing my lord. For my transgression, I earned a new kind of reward... agony.

There was only one possible outcome - my eternal damnation. I, Raziel, was to suffer the fate of traitors and weaklings - to burn forever in the bowels of the Lake of the Dead."

Let's gooooo!

Hopefully they fixed up the controls a bit or else a lot of you are going to be real disappointed.

How many people finished shadow man, turok, tomb raider classics and other various remakes.

I see this as another nostalgia bait game to trick people into playing for half an hour just to say "that was cool" and then they go and play some more Rainbow 6 Siege.

I absolutely hated it. One of those games I can't think of a singe redeeming factor. The graphics were good compared to SR1 but that was mostly going from PS1-PS2. I even thought Defiance was superior to SR2 in every possibly way. SR1 for the time was just incredible though.

Turok were great remasters, the QoL features that were added made those games infinitely more playable than they were originally. Nightdive set the bar.

We'll see if Aspyr does similar things with this remaster. I certainly hope they do.

I just remember the combat and box puzzle design feeling incredibly dated when it original released. The story made it worth plowing through though.

yeah I gotta say I agree, I remember firing 2 up when it launched so exccited to finish the storyline only to end up with another non-ending.

They did a great work with the classic Tomb Raiders. This seems to be in line with that kind of work, suffiently improved but without changing the core.

Hopefully they do a collection 2 with Blood Omen 2 (bleh) and Defiance too.
The “Eidos is idiotic and left a sequel to an absolutes nobodies that destroyed the continuity that they didn’t even understand about the universe they were working on” Remaster.

Would still buy for Defiance if it has a physical release.

Why not Demon Soul or Shadow of the Colossus level remasters? This looks like it's ported from PS1 to something between PS2 and PS3.
