Soul Reaver Remake

[Knight-Crawler]

I would like to see a Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver remake but , with Unreal Engine grahics and some extra animations!!! What would you guys like to see in a remake?

I would love a new game, but I settle for a new hd version or graphical remake of the the original Soul Reaver series. The audio could be remastered but never changed. No new voice overs! Tony Jay's voice can never be replaced!!! He had the voice of a GOD!!!

Yes to all of this. Also Square Enix said that there may be a Remake in the pipeline.

+1 to a remake on the works but not voice over Tony Jay's voice is Golden!!

I wish they (Square or Eidos) would put up a Kickstarter just to see how many people out there are intrested in a new LoK game. Honestly I would love a Remake, but lately they've been all about the reboots

Putting potentional LoK remake on Kickstarter isnt that bad idea at all. +1

Only if it's pure graphics+compability upgrade. No need to defile it with modern gameplay crap.

Nowdays games only could lack story if so. Cause graphics r not a problem anymore. Even some average 5 man team can make an eyecandy game with todays super-powerful design tools. So remake isnt a problem. Its Devs being busy with some other projects or maybe just timing the right moment.

I I think that the company that did The Lara Coft updated remake (that update was awesome) will do the Legacy of kain update remake, but first I wish the original will get a graphics boost and nothing else, then the can do something new

I also would like to see REMAKE (or at least remaster), but not reboot.
Brand new graphics and enhanced level design to fit modern standards this is all I would like to wish for a new game. I'd like to see more realistic and grim graphics instead of old simplified-acidly-colored-comic-book-looking one to make the game more atmospheric, dark and mysterious (one way or another it is dark fantasy vampire story, so dark atmosphere fit perfectly).

No need to invent new cliche story (like may be found in videos of DeadSun, beaten to death plot cliche about hero's wife, how many times it was used in movies and games? hundreds or thousands?), original story is perfect if it will be given more depth to characters and insight to story arcs.

As for gameplay, I'd like old one to be preserved and given slight modern touch (just to make it flow more fluidly).
Even if nostalgic feelings claiming the opposite, not everything was great. There were tedious and repetitive moments, I would like to be edited while keeping the general game mechanics still. Less backtracking (or at least make it more interesting where plot require backtracking).
Level design should allow a bit more free movement and few approaches to advance forward instead of the only one certain way.
Everything else just great as it is.

You're right about story, but games also have gameplay and interaction with environment.
To make both good graphics and decent gameplay with interactive environment, 5 people are not enough. Many eyecandy games which was done by small team have dead world with nothing to interact with and plays more like walking sim.

Would have to be worked around original recordings of the Elder God for me. The sad Loss of Tony Jay in 2006 means LOKSR reboot would never be good enough without him.

Agreeing with everything said but my point was if there is an issue with delayed remake of SR it isnt cause of the story or graphics but cause Devs r probably timing the best moment for a market breakthrough. Its my guess tho. Maybe there is some issue still...
