Obsessively annoying fans and LoK remaster.

[spaulasbury]

I'd just like to thank Crystal Dynamics for re-releasing Soul Reaver 1 and 2. I'd also like to thank Wrace for allowing me to be able to play SR1 for the past decade. Seems a lot of folks wanna piss on his cheerios. I'm grateful for the work, time, and effort he put in.

Now as for the remaster...it's ok. It's not really breathtaking or new. It's simply a reskinning replete with all the bugs and errors from the original titles. The reskinning on SR1 is good, but the original graphics mode is now stuttery and jittery. The reskinning of SR2 is good, but the new textures are downgrades for the most part. All in all...it's a very minimal improvement. Which brings me to the problem at hand. Instead of working with the original devs, they decided to let a fan direct the remaster. I don't give a damn who Raina Audron thinks she is, I want the original team working on it. I don't want some obnoxiously obsessed fan telling me their vision for a game that has already been made. That's my gripe...jumping on a creator bandwagon for a product you had nothing to do with, yet claiming credit all the way. Same person who was directing the TR remasters. Since when does one fan speak for everyone? Especially since they did a piss poor job.

Never heard of him until he started incessantly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ real devs didn't include his cheats. Homie needs to cry into his pillow instead of the forums about it.

As for getting the original devs on this project, how in a million years do you think that would have happened? Practically I mean. You ♥♥♥♥ ride for what's-his-ass then ♥♥♥♥♥ a different fan got the role instead of him or a dev team that disbanded 20 years ago. What you thinking cuh?

I knew of Raina's existance because she has a youtube channel, but beyond that, I know next to nothing about her.

So far, I've enjoyed this remaster and the added content on the bonus material which is more like a curiosity about what might have been, and to be honest, I did not expect them to do a very high quality AAA level of rework on this long forgotten franchise, when even Eidos, at it's time, decided to dump it in favor of Tomb Raider.

If anything, this serves to let The Legacy of Kain draw attention, and hopefully get more investment in it, and if it takes a fan taking lead of the project, then so be it. Hopefuly, we will get a satisfactory conclussion to all of this.

I think the OP is using his alt from his "Belmont" main on their friends list LMAO. He was spouting the same type of stuff on his "Belmont" profile in another game not that long ago. Pretty funny they just left that on the profile linking them up. Just goes to show that when you are talking to "one" troll they usually have other accounts that always agree with them.

Just glanced quickly over the wrace drama in the other thread. The speed at which some people jumped at his throat for what seem to be mere comfort features and compared his influence over the game with other members of the community makes this look like a fight over reputation, which I have no doubt is very valuable for some people considering how it evidently can land you a job working at one of your beloved game series. It made everyone involved look very foolish. Can't remember the original LoK community being like that.

Trolls be trollin. Not that surprising, really.
They seem to be doing nothing else all day.

Anyway, for those who come across this thread and want to inform themselves about the making of the remaster, there's a wonderful NoClip Documentary about it on youtube :)

Is that the one with David Hayter, Paul Eiding and Jennifer Hale lending their voices?

I am going to watch it later. I am a huge Metal Gear Solid fan too, so hearing Paul Eiding voice the Elder God is just going to make my Yule season! Christmas has definitely come early this year!

I mean blood came in swinging with the 'do you know who I am and what I've done' diva attitude. Never heard of him and whatever alleged reputation he's trying to coast on clearly wasn't justified. It's all well and good that he can mod and whatever, but most fans have never heard of the guy or used his cheats. That's just how it is.
