As for the brightness. Yes developers upped their brightness so you could see the details more clearly. Playing the game will most likely be closer to the original darker environment.

Rehab has legs because before he was a fish he was a human. His vampiric evolution helped him overcome the acidic effect of water. So basically he evolved into part fish part vampire. His former human legs would still be visible because as you play you find his kin can also walk on land too.

Wow I didn't think I could be so annoyed with someone's nonsensical bitching that I'd actually post a comment. Like everything you bitched about from the banner and the ground to Rehab has a clear explanation which you can tell just by engaging two brain cells. The banner that is closest to Raziel is too bright and the grey concrete too blue? Well no shit given the wraith blade emits light. Read other peoples comments cause I cba to retype it when the answers are there

will silksong release in 2025

I see an improvement over several issues, but I'm still not sold on the Rahab face. It looks WAY better than the previous one, but I don't understand why they can't get closer to the original look. At this point I'm not sure If I'll buy the game, I have to see if they made more changes like the altar statue in the rest of the game. I'll watch some gameplay at launch and then I'll decide.

Im a bit concered about the Grass texture in the background in soul reaver 2 look the exact same yuck!

What about the trans water gliff statue? I would much rather see a bimbo with big lips and huge tit's and ass than that thing. 😅

OMG Kain looks awesome

Unfortunately yes. Gamers need a big, yellow circle to indicate that, that is where the boss' vulnerability is these days. If it isn't there, your game gets called "cryptic", "archaic", "unintuitive" or whatever excuse some dumbass wants to make up for being too stupid to play a game.

Great video! You deserve more followers 😊

Great analyses. I cant wait for these remakes to get released. I have awesome memories of playing the first one on my Dreamcast after my first child was born. Kain kept my wife and I company on many sleepless nights.

2:57 If you take a look at Zephon's "closed" face, the yellow... uhm... thing on his forehead makes much more sense. From an artistic point of view, I mean. The upper part of his skull structure forms "horns" and the yellow thingy is the "sun" (or "central object") as seen in ancient art styles. I guess, since Legacy of Kain as a whole takes a lot of inspiration from Egyptian mythology, it seems fitting.

I once posted on another channel about Melchiah in the original Soul Reaver was horrific and if the game/series ever got remade on modern hardware, that he should ought to resemble something from John Carpenter's The Thing, I'm not disappointed. Thank You!

Wow, you clearly have zero knowledge about art and lighting....

I saw someone point out Kain's bug eyes in the remaster, and I can't unsee it.

I feel so much better about the visuals after this update. I can't belive the hate your last video got. The original trailer was way off the mark. I still think they should have kept rahab's face more similar to the ps1 version though. I know it's a low poly mess, but you can see they went in a very different direction. But I'll take it; he looked like a spyro dragon in the announcement. THANK YOU FOR RELEASING ME. Also, Kain really does look freaking awesome

You complain about the Banners and the ground being to bright because it doesnt Cross your mind that the soul Reaver creates light now. It is so bright because the Soul Reaver is glowing now.

Even if they decide to release the OG version of both games,i will still buy it

I can see what you mean about the brightness in the banner of the SR2 scene, but overall I don't think you were fair. I mean, Melchiah looks fantastic and I dunno how you're getting a "cyborg" vibe from him. Zephon's yellow head spot is indeed larger than it the original but it is there. Also the head isn't a weakspot so your rant about making it easier doesn't make sense actually. Rahab's little legs were always there albeit barely visible in the original. You can say you simply don't like it and would prefer Rahab without it, but there's that to consider. If you're worried about being faithful we can't really complain.

pre-ordered and have it in my steam library just awaiting it to unlock and enter my chamber door. Playing this on the steam deck for sure.

"When we encounter Rahab in Soul Reaver, we see him in a devolved state-a representation of fallen characters in the world of Nosgoth. His body has adapted to his new, monstrous existence. But what does this transformation signify? The smaller legs are a critical visual cue reflecting his adaptation to the water-dominated environment where he resides." "Rahab’s small legs can be interpreted as a symbolic representation of his connection to aquatic life, emphasizing not just functionality but a deeper thematic meaning. In many ways, they mirror the design of various amphibious creatures, which rely less on their legs for mobility and more on the overall fluidity of their forms. This change highlights Rahab’s alienation from his former self, a creature once driven by noble goals, now reduced to a primal state."

That original design was dam near a deal breaker for me I honestly hated it. I’m glad it got fixed the only other thing I think they could fix are the soul reaver 1 pillars they look exactly the same as they did on ps1 they needed to be updated to look alittle bit more like the soul reaver 2 pillars add those symbols and if they can’t still clean them up add the gold trim to the symbols at the base of the pillars. Add better textures to the pillars themselves.

What are you trying to do here? Sticking to minimalistic details to complain about, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the second trailer, you had some valid points for the first trailer, not only you but the whole community as well that's why they fixed it, rahab is amphibious in nature as he is a vampire, thus the legs, there are themes of evolution/devolution for Raziels brethren at play in soul reaver 1, same should go for zephron and his cyst I'm sure someone with some entomology knowledge would enlighten us, melchiah as you sure recall suffers from vampire leprosy his skin is falling apart that's why he sews corpses on him, the metal mask might just holding his face so it won't split apart.

Rahab has vestigial legs in the original model too, the script also describes him having them.

have you seen they updated some of the character designs what's your thoughts on the changes rahab most of all had a facelift that shows they're listening to fan feedback

Wow, every single one of your fixes actually looked way better than what they showed in the trailer. I really hope they figure that out sometime before release . . .

Good god! Stop with the winning!!!!!! If you don’t want to play with the new graphics you can play it with the old graphics. Be happy they did something and support it because it is the only way they are gonna measure the interest in a new game and that should be the ultimate end goal. If you don’t like what they did in the remaster that is your opinion and your entitled to it but there is the option to plat it as it was. Keep the focus on what we all really want.

Devil inside is a cash grab. That game is never coming out

We literally have the exact type of mindset on how legacy of kain games should look like. So I confidently agree with you and hope they do take our feedback into consideration and the final version will be very good. I think you have done a good job of presenting the fixed versions on how they could improve with it aswell. Regardless of flaws, i have pre ordered the game because i really do want to play it again since im on Xbox series x. As a last case resort i may have to toggle back to the original graphics. However I dont know if you've noticed tomb raider remastered has both visual+stuttering issues if you switch to the OG. It looks very pixelated and oh my god visually isnt playable at all.

You are blowing things way out of proportion here. I agree with a few things, but calling it crap from a trailer with a few seconds of actual new ingame footage because YOU don't like it is absurd. Not liking a soup is one thing, but saying it's awful and insulting the chef over it, is just a dick move.

Thank you! Great video. They have to ruin everything

Honestly you complain for the art design??? You not gnna support for a chance for a maybe get a prequel of raziel vimp life, honestly you opinion is joke for real fans of LOK franchise, a real fan will be screaming of happiness, they gnna release a game with a character that we love, and not making a new franchise like they were going to do with the cancelled one.

There are 2 Reasons why we are getting these remasters. 1. There is a Graphic Novel called Soul Reaver The Dead Shall Rise and is being kickstarted funded and is a Prequel to the 1st Soul Reaver Game. 2. It has a 25th Anniversary on the Horizon and upcoming in 2024.

With Rahab's Remastered Art Design and Tone, he was, in fact, supposedly to look like that in the PS1 Retail Version of the game before it was cut completely due to technical limitations and resolutions. The saturation and texture of Rahab fits well with him in the confines of the Drowned Abbey where Raziel faces and defeats him to get his ability to swim in water and I'm not even a professional designer or art director in the gaming industry. To be honest, you don't have to be a professional to understand what works and what doesn't. Like I said before, I respect that you are a designer but I really do think you should've done research before making this video but its still good, regardless.

nice list but hard disagree on the RTX. it doesnt look good in old games imo it makes them look washed out or very odd given how you have this old game with modern lighting. you are complaining about how bright and colorful the remasters look right now but throw RTX on there combined with the Day Night cycle they are adding and youll have literal Sun for most of the games. i dont think we need to worry about the lighting or look. Im playing through the TR trilogy again and the lighting for it is almost too dark i have to change back to old visuals to figure out where to go without upping the gamma to max. I think itll be ok plus we will get texture mods day 1 for those that dont like the defiance look.

I'm excited about the remaster, period. I'm sure someone will put out a mod that will address some, maybe all of these issues. All things that can be addressed with different textures and changes to lighting. It would be nice if it was included, but... eh. I'll take it.

I felt the same way from seeing these initial screenshots. They are just a little off. The changes you suggested are perfect! Except for Rahab; that one needs more than photo shop. These people's back lash against your opinion is a bit ridiculous. We can still play the originals. We don't NEED a remaster. (if it is used as a guage for public interest in an actual remake, then great. But, again, it's never going to be an improvement from the original IMO). For me, it does take away from the game if the models don't look right. I personally hated the models in Defiance for this same reason. Art direction is a thing. Apparently it doesn't matter to a lot of you people. Sorry, I don't think every game should look like fortnight. Thank you for the video

I respect your points of interest of what should be fixed for these remasters in terms of its quality of art direction and tone. You sound like a Professional Artist and I respect that if you are.

To every "don't be so picky" or "I will swallow everything what they have" - your lack of expectation is pathetic you weak "consumers" C Un+s

PLEASE !!! Send this video to the CREATORS !! god damn they should include this hints right away !!!!

How about to let them finish the product before insulting the art style,etc. They gonna realease this in 63 days until the final product. And you know what even if you do not like the new Graphics they gonna give you the option to play the original Graphics by pressing a button

Can't wait

The description on steam implies that you can switch between old and new graphics, so even if the new graphics end up ruining the visual style we'll still have a decent port either way.

I bought the original releases for PS1 and the Dreamcast. The remaster looks amazing and I'm all for it.

I am not sure, but I think in these remastered games that you can change at any moment in the original graphics and gameplay, IF THAT IS REALLY THE CASE, I understand your reasoning but more or less, problem solved.

the original graphics are present on the game; that is preservation enough.

All these videos are going to age so badly when people realize Aspyr always boosts the colors of their remaster screenshots, while the games are not like that at all. Oh, and it's most likely all captured from old work in progress footage. Can't wait to see all these people feel embarassed. 😊

I forgot to add that Rahab does look kinda friendly and his eyes as well as Melchiach's should definetely be deeper red. As for Melchiach's design I believe is indeed an upgrade and only his eyes should be changed

This series is my apparently favorite of all I was around 18 19. Played them with my nephew who has past 10 years now. The chic statue i get cause I to am so tired of the woke BS but the lightning can be fixed idk we will see but i will be pre ordering and playing with a big smile 😀

Still wondering why they changed the very clearly female statue to a dude with breasts?
