I want 'Blood Omen' to be remastered and released. As soon as I saw this remaster come into my Microsoft Store account, well, I immediately Pre-Ordered Soul Reaver. Now I want Blood Omen from the 90's on PS1. The 1st original story opener. I could never get past the mountains, only 1 hour into the PS1 version. I have the Original Soul Reaver 1 & 2 on my PS2, unwrapped and in the original Sony Entertainment seal.
They have a PC version of Blood Omen on GOG that you can easily apply a fan patch to that basically gives the game 60 fps and higher resolution support. Basically the type of stuff you'd see in a barebones remaster.
"Kain is deified. The clans tell tales of him, few know the truth. He was mortal ones, as were we all. Howere his contempt for humanity drove him to create me and my brethren"
the italian dub of soul reaver was beyond legendary, sadly they had to switch around the actors for defiance but the cast for SR1 and 2 was just incredible
Now we are talking about multi language support... The original Spanish dub for SR1 was peak. But in SR2 they went with a different cast for some reason. And then Defiance, ANOTHER cast. I wish they could bring the SR1 cast to all games.
I saw a trailer of this game that was on my copy of Gex 3 and I was immediately mesmerized by how eerie and creep that game looked. I live in Brazil, and it was difficult to find this game, and then, one day, I finally found it! I loved it, even though I couldn not understand all the dialogs and what was REALLY going on, but, OMG, how I was disappointed by the ending... I finished this game with a sense of emptiness. I don't know if that was the point of the developers, but I wish we had more content and areas in this game (I know about the cut smoke stack level). I'm not sure if I'll purchase this
@@jufialio6287 But the audio is english so you (and I) that can understand english can understand just fine. Most people here don't even read english, let alone understand it spoken. First Soul Reaver was even dubbed in PT-BR, but that will never happen in this version, so all we ask is for subs.
I played in PS1, i never had contact with the dub version. And i suffered to understand, but with same subtitles even in English it will get more people. I hope that they put subtitles in portuguese, for me it's enough, if dub is expansive, they can put sub, i do not ask for dub, but i understand that will better if is possible to put it. Unfortunally because our tributes and politics, a lot companies don't like to remember us even with millions of players that love it.
@@jufialio6287 yeah, I won't have issues due to being proficient in english, but I've seen lot's of comments online from fellow Brazilians really upset for the lack of subtitles, and that they might not even buy the game because of it. Granted, this was THE game that got me interested in learning English at 8 years old in the first place. Kinda of a blessing in disguise.
sacanagem mas a versao portuguesa foi desenvolvida pela dissolvida Greenleaf somente para desktop e pra achar os direitos de usar a dublagem iria dar muito trabalho
I actually bought Blood Omen 1 from the Playstation store as a digital download to play on my PS4. To my shock it actually has the load time....HOW!!!??? It's not on a CD, how can there be load times?
@@samweirich5973 it’s emulating the original disc. I do think that’s ridiculous and they hopefully patch it to get rid of it on console. On PC it’s no issue of course.
Man I was really enjoying this until you said "Not to jump on the anti-DEI bandwagon" only to then jump on the anti-DEI bandwagon. Your video was really nice up until that :(
@Calypso694 There are plenty of wonderful games that lead on including more traditionally excluded people though, without detracting from their quality or overtaking their own writing. The problem with the industry is our system of overpaid/unnecessary execs, and underpaid/overworked developers with too little creative control. Many of those execs are a big reason why so many have been excluded too; just look at the mass sexual harrassment issues at Ubisoft. Yes there're games that might come with a message you don't like but in the old days we just recognized they weren't always made for us. Imagine if Amy Hennig was hazed and demeaned out of the office as a woman. Suppose she was secretly trans, and someone outed her for speaking up, leading to her firing. Can you imagine how much of a worse writer the series may have gotten?
@@davidsterling7570 "the game isnt for you" is why this big games have failed. The honest truth is that like 80 percent of people who play video games are straight, probably white, men. Inclusion is fine, gay characters etc are fine all if the writing is solid and the story is told well agreed? the big issue is that all these games coming out now are literal trauma dumping stations for the trans or gay writers who fear they aren't equal to others but they literally have a job in the games industry which is hard enough to get into as it is much less be a lead on a team. like i said in my video lots of people play games to escape the bullshit of reality but when that reality is self inserted into a game you were enjoying out of nowhere it breaks the immersion and the good time you were having. with LOK specifically, this is a dark fantasy Shakespearian melodrama. Sex of any kind, real world politics etc. simply don't belong. Not because they are bad but because whatever those talking points are will not progress the narrative along at all and bog it down. People don't want to be lectured about pronouns or whatever when the story is literally about saving the world or damming it. Hell look at blood omen 2, that had a straight romance with Umah and it still pissed everyone off because 1. it was out of kains character in the first place and 2. it doesnt belong in LOK.
I'm guessing that the "new areas with renders based on concept art" will be Turel's Smokestacks. i dunno if they will add anything special to it or will it just be an explorable area, there was cut content of the incomplete area left in game files.
Crying about DEI at the end made this video a downer. Can you right wing culture vultures please stay away from LoK, you tend to make everything suck with your constant complaining and whinging. These games are special for those of us that played them in our youth.
@@marcpolain9663 1. I’m not political. 2. Exactly. We grew up with these games. They are special. Modern day politics don’t belong in any medium unless the story is about mordern politics. Simple as that.
@Calypso694 you're not old enough or wise enough to understand what politics are. Do you think there are no politics in LOK? A game about vampire society clashing with human society, the reasons for why things happen in the lore can absolutely come from political decisions. There's already DEI involved in the creation of LOK because it wasn't written by a dude. It's a story created by a woman. So offensive...
not in the games but in anything Future like a future game, the comic coming out, the table top and encyclopedia etc. Thats what people should be cautious about.
Still can't believe they remastered this game. So pumped
Only 11 days more to play this masterpiece
Why tf would you want to skip the curscenes
For me it’s great for simply blazing through and capturing gameplay footage.
We wanna hear Raziels epic vocabulary.@@Calypso694
Ubiquitous for any modern game? C'mon...
It's for the kids that need 4 screens to handle their self diagnosed ADHD
@@MiguelAviles175 Ditto I can never get tired of Raziel and Kain's conversations

Blood omen 1 and 2 are now in the PS stores;)
If you SKIP a CUTSCENE you should be tossed into the LAKE OF THE DEAD!!!
"Kain is deified. The clans tell tales of him, few know the truth. He was mortal ones, as were we all. Howere his contempt for humanity drove him to create me and my brethren"
Ive really cant wait to explore the Lost Levels in Soul Reaver and Face Turel, The Priestess and Kain third Boss Fight!
the italian dub of soul reaver was beyond legendary, sadly they had to switch around the actors for defiance but the cast for SR1 and 2 was just incredible
I played it with italian dub for the first time too and the dub was phenomenal. I remember it better in Italian than in English
Encyclopedia and RPG look excellent. We're so back.
Now we are talking about multi language support... The original Spanish dub for SR1 was peak. But in SR2 they went with a different cast for some reason. And then Defiance, ANOTHER cast. I wish they could bring the SR1 cast to all games.
SPEED RUN
i would have loved a remaster of the original blood omen, it was easily the best game of the whole lot
i would love that too. Crossing fingers 1 day.
Absolutely. Much darker than those later ones. Killer narration and voice acting. Much more traditional Vampire lore. The later ones look juvenile.
:O Awesome! i want to see those unexplored zones.
The Spanish dub was so fck cool. I wonder if there's any hope to have the old dubs in this remaster.

@@rickfr they’ll be in game just not a part of the main story. That would take longer than needed for this remaster.
The wheel of gamers howls for this game, though its hunger will never be assuaged
I need a physical versions of this game and I don't know if this is gonna happen.
I would never skip these masterpiece of cutscenes❤
I think it’s more for the speedrunning community
English actor will always be the best! You can't beat Simon Templeman!
already pre ordered it on steam, im so freaking ready.
Finally 10th December is back on ps4-ps5 !! Hello from Greece
I really hope the PC version will have the option to output 4:3 like the original. This game will look incredible on my Dell 2007.
I pre-ordered the Soul Reaver remasters plus downloaded the first and second Blood omen games
Been waiting for 25 years for December 10th 2024
I just pre-ordered
No portuguese localization unfortunately. We even got a petition here in Brazil asking the devs for it, but no news 😢
Have subtitles? The original don't have even the English subtitles.

If only they added the dropped parts the fans dug out few years ago. Ohh man I know its too high hopes but that would be amazing.
I just cannot wait! Drawing a fanart of him now 😍
So excited!
New to the channel. I liked and subscribed. Could you tell me if it’s getting a physical release for consoles?
Si la versión digital vende bien se supone que si lo sacarán en físico...
We gettin Blood Omen 1 remake?? It would make me giggle like Dr Giggles if they give us that!
Bummer, I was as hoping they'd reincorporate the old levels so they'd be playable with enemies and story beats.
@@jeggsonvohees2201 would break the canon and take too long but at least we get to play them
@Calypso694 I meant as a separate what if scenario.
@@jeggsonvohees2201 I know I had the same thought too but it’s just unrealistic without a remake
Can we hope to eventually get Dark Prophecy?
last bitter taste of that terrible illusion my friend.
Spanish voices are pretty cool too
Ohhhhh im buyin the shit out of that TTRPG!!
I like how the drawing is similar to final fantasy 2 orignal artist
Hype
Hype

Get we get any link to that interview?
Mark Random? Is that you?
Are they going to allow the cheat code for paper tube weapon?
Wasnt that in defiance?

Pc port soundtrack were missing, like the underworld
Will there be a physical release
I don’t think that has been announced yet?
Probably by Limited Run Games later
It’s legacy of kain defiance not blood omen defiance
Do you know if the lost levels will be playable in the remastered version of the game?
Wtf

Because after several playthroughs sometimes you just want to play the game.
