I want a real LoK game...

[Dzaka]

seriously. this is just a waste of the licens. 5 v 5 arena battler based on a game series where story was paramount? total waste. count me out till they decide to make a real game

[ModernDarwinist]

I suggest you play the game before you put it down. For a game based on death match its actually pretty fun and has quite a bit of depth. I was outraged when I first heard about it until I played it, and now I love it. Listening to the devs its pretty obvious they do their best to do the franchise justice and I seriously doubt it will hurt any future prospects for another LoK game.

[Dzaka]

yeah.. you need to check again. i have actually been playing the game

[ED13]

I can see you have spent alot of time on the game "Nosgoth 0.5 hrs on record"

[Scrubby]

"5v5", dude you havent played the game at all.

People are right to complain about this. It's like if Valve made the next Counterstrike game a single player shooter with a heavy emphasis on story and quicktime events. Even if it was the best of it's kind, people would be in an uproar, and rightfully so.

I like this game. I don't think it's amazing, it's just good fun and it's different. But a worthy addition to the LOK universe it is not. And you could argue all day that it's not trying to be, but considering LOK fans haven't seen a game in a very long time, and then this comes out instead of a new one, it's not unreasonable to be a little frustrated.

Waste of the license ? ♥♥♥♥♥ please, this game is hope for every LoK fans If they have the engine to make a fluid online game, that means they have everything they need to make a good solo game with Raziel and Kain as main protagonists

What are you talking about? They are using the Unreal Engine, and online play is not something I've ever heard any LOK fan ask for.

Starting a whole new game with its own mythos would be way harder to both create and sell though. I have to agree that this game could potentially be the reason a new LoK game is made due to not only fans showing their existance but also new potential fans that could be interested in a new single player version in that universe.

the problem with that is its not the LoK fans that will be playing this. it will be the douchebag multiplayer elite that will play this. as i said starting this. i want a REAL LoK game. it doesn't need multiplayer. no game has ever "needed" multiuplayer. it was just a way for companies to skimp the ♥♥♥♥ out of actual game design and doing real work just so they could sell something that thousands of people just kill eachother in over and over for no reason. yet those same "gamers" which they arn't at all. gripe about rpg's being repeditive.. seriously there isn't an online battle game that isn't repetitive.

Firstly, it's not five versus five. It's four versus four.

Second, LoK has no real chance in the modern market unless the developers got a huge amount of funding for the project to pull off something amazing. So it's not a waste of a "licens" at all. Infact it'll rekindle interest in the series including bringing revenue in to make an actual LoK game.

If there's no interest or avaliable funding, then a sequal to LoK Defiance will likely never happen. That's just the sad reality of the world we live in.

So as a TL;DR this game could possibly reestablish the series and maybe lead to a new "traditional" LoK game.

[Dzaka]

no this is a random cash grab hoping to prey on the fans of the original actually good games. as for "lack of interest" there was plenty of interest. they just shut the games down in favor of tomb raider always saying "on the back burner" and "we have plans" and never doing anything

[Doomykins]

Even if it's a "random cash grab", I'm assuming you understand video games aren't cheap to produce. And LoK is a rather obsure title to many of todays gamers, so it'd be a really stupid idea to capitalise on the vast legions of non existiant fans.

In actuality I fully enjoy what the game brings to the table and it can't be called anything other then a benefit to a series that was sadly falling into obscurity.

A better way to do it would have been to make a Blood Omen remaster. The game isn't even playable unless you download a PS1 rom and play on an emulator, so most people can't even get into the series with the first installment. The PC port requires Win98 or something to work. I'm sure they could have hired some indie studio to remaster it on a shoe string budget, reusing the original voice work.

Even if they made a new game to pick up where the LOK series left off, there would still be many people who haven't heard of the series before and can't even play the first game to get started with it. I realize they could still do that now though, and I'm hoping they do. The market is actually very good for 2D Zelda style games atm. I think people who have never played an LOK game would love Blood Omen.

Counter Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes. - Minus the quicktime events.
