@@SSGoatankswell considering we are getting TR 4-6 in feb, very likely they’ll do remasters for BO2 and Defiance. Although defiance runs fine on modern PCs it’s still not on consoles and I feel they’d want to keep it consistent. BO1 still has too much legal bull for this still I fear.
@@Calypso694 Hey buddy, does this game have the Kain Reaver? Its the crimson energy blade looking weapon. It was cut from the original but It was my hope it was in this version.
@@RedEyedDRAG00N this is going to be the full original version like back then. Nothing changed. There will be an archive section with all the cut content probably in an extras menu and im sure all the old cheats will still work to unlock the Kain Reaver etc. To add all the cut content back in would be too much for a simple remaster like this and would take way longer to try and make the game like the orignal vision was where it was only 1 single game instead of a series.
Minor correction, the Soul Reaver games are not 'linear'. There is a fair amount of back-tracking through levels. Back in the day, without a map, you could easily get lost and confused as to where to go. So the addition of the map is actually quite significant.
They are linear regarding the story and character progression, as you don't have "questlines" like in Skyrim. I hope that if they make a remake of Blood Omen 1 the story and character progression won't be intertwined like It was in the original, meaning that Kain can go around and collect all the various upgrades right from start, with said upgrades (weapons, armors, spella, health and magic upgrades) not being technically required to complete the main story.
@@arx3516 A proper remake from the ground up for Blood Omen 1 would really bring the series to the modern audience. Who wouldn't want to play as a vampire in a beautifully realized open world.
This was without a doubt, my favorite franchise back in the PS1 era. Thought seeing Raziel back in Nosgoth would never happen. I happy for the remasters. Hopefully, with enough support, we can get new games in this franchise.
WE MUST SUPPORT THIS!!! We owe it to the team that brought this phenomenal series to life over two decades ago and to ourselves for still holding love for these games after all this time! And REMEMBER!!! Just because the current generation of players may be slow to catch on to such an old game now, imagine how much more attention it will garner IF we manage to get a BRAND NEW entry made! I think a current gen installment would definitely turn some heads no matter the age! KEEP PUSHING!!! SUPPORT NOSGOTH!!!
Blood Omen could work if they went through a Diablo 4 styling. Keep the gameplay but modernize the effects. Blood Omen 2... Better to remake it and not contradict everything else.
I completely agree but I think based on the tomb raider trilogy we will eventually get a physical release and it will probably out sell the tomb raider trilogy if the figures for the kickstarter graphic novel are anything to go by. In the long run we will probably get a better physical version because it will probably have all the patches included as it will no doubt have bugs when its released on day one.
@@Nostalgic-mt6lr you also gotta keep in mind the younger generation likely doesn't even know this game exists. Hell, iv asked countless people about it and iv only had 2 people tell me they miss it and trust me iv asked a lot or at least referenced it to no avail. This game was way ahead of it's time and I just hope when it comes out it's an incentive for them to redo the others. Do you by chance know if they are doing anything with blood omen as well?
I was one of those guys who had already given up hope to ever seeing these games again as I played the originals way back in the day. But every so often I'd check to see if there had been any new updates whenever I got reminded of these gems and what a freaking surprise I got!!
Same here man! Iv been checking on it every break at work for the last 4/5 years hoping for some kind of news after that email went out asking about it. I had my fingers crossed this whole time I was overjoyed when I read about it on Google news ❤ I did a tattoo of raziels cowl on my outer right calf and was considering his clan symbol.
Just pre-ordered. Can't wait!! I was one of the many who took the survey about this a few years ago. Really glad they listened and are actually doing it!!
Pre-ordered at the speed of light. Really hope they'll introduce a Separate Mode that features a playable version of the Cut Content. God we're so back.
I doubt it but it would be one of the best moves ever. Especially since they're using the original audio, and the audio for most of the cut content was already recorded.

That's the spirit my brethren! 🥳👏👊 You guys are true GamerS and supporters.. 💯👍🎮💿💰💰💰.. and as our fellow brotha' from another spectral mother Raziel would say.. “I was executed, not excommunicated. You will learn the difference.” 🤘☠
The graphic upgrade is welcome in my book. I remember reading an article that Crystal Dynamics did when defiance came out about how limited, technology wise, they were at the time of the release of the first soul reaver, and that was why they had the fog blanketing everything! Because of the limitations of the technology, not to match the atmosphere! Though they did say that because it did match the atmosphere it kinda worked, though they would’ve preferred to not have to use that trick and made it more like later games in the series, more intentional, less at the mercy of the technology.
When I replay Soul Rever 1 I like to collect all the weapons and leave the defeated bodies of some clan without eating them, just for the challenge, but at some point the game memory is not enough and some of them start to restart. I hope I can achieve it now😈
Blood Omen 1 would need a full remake, as it is a 2D game with extremley dated 3D cinematics. So it makes sense to start "small" with a remaster of Soulreaver. And if they make a remake of BO1 with modern gameplay, they could even add lore details that connect it with the other games in the series, like having Kain walk through a hall with frescos depicting the war between ancient vampires and hylden.
I wanted the wraith blade to have that cool swirly look in the remaster. Not the sparkling dots look. Otherwise i like the new look and i'll definitely purchase this. I played these games several times start to finish back in the day.
i m very happy with what they are doing. Your video is really good to bring some overhyped people to reality. Showing the people what it can be is great to lower expectations and prevent the product being smashed with weird or negative comments because it did not hit the ppl expectations. Nice video.
@@ricardolujan5571 It could further close the Soul Reaver 1 plot hole they tried to fix with the throw away line in Soul Reaver 2 where he said that the vampire Turel had Eluded his vengeance. It would make more sense if he got as far as Turel's lair, only to see him vanish before they could even say anything. Maybe have a small tanrum, and the Elder God tells him to seek out kain now. They can AI Tony Jay's voice for any new lines needed.
I played this on ps back in 2000 and was blown away by the gameplay and cutscenes plus the voice acting. As a hard of hearing individual of the deaf community, I hope they implement subtitles or closed captions which would definitely be a bonus!!!
I wonder will they improve the cut scenes for Soul Reaver 1 as in make the characters move and gesture more in order to have the cut scenes more similar and consistent with the second game. I think its possible to do but its interesting if they actually do it. Even though both games are worlds apart in terms of the consoles they were originally released on, they seem to have standardized how Raziel looks across both games. And on that note,I cannot wait to see Kain's Soul Reaver 1 model.
So far I’m loving everything I seen how ever I just can’t get over that rahab re-design he looks ridiculous. He looks like the cursed offspring of a river zora and a muppet. I know it’s based off the original concept but as far as I could see there’s a reason that original concept got cut because it looked awful
If there is a day/night cycle, I hope it is just a feature you can turn on or off. I want to play with the new graphics. But, I don't want the day/night cycle to be tethered to them. The lack of a day/night cycle was part of the original game's character. It's a cool idea. One that I would try out. But, imagine playing the old visuals, the new with day/night, new without or, the old graphics with the day/night cycle.
I played every single blood Omen I played every single soul Weaver this should have been a three pack new Converse is not going to know the full story they should have had included blood Omen along with soul Reaver one and two I played every single one I don't know I'm still happy for this collection but this should have been a three-game pack I would have gladly paid more
Only picking this up physical. Will wait for limited run or whoever. No way this doesn't get a physical. Tons would pick it up. Excited to play it though! Still waiting on my copy of chained echoes physical which I ordered 2 years ago lol. Game looks great too.
I’ve been saying this game needs a remake for years! Literally had this conversation 3 weeks ago too! I’m late to this remaster news so fukin hyped. But I’d also like a reboot. Like a souls like reboot would be dope especially since there’s sooo many different vampire abilities in nosgarth!
Blood omen and soul Reaver multi bundle package all on cartridge. Cool as, it will be a collection one day of forgotten greats, like the sega and SNES and street fighter collections.
It would be positively amazing if we could experience the cut content from the 2 games even if it is disconnected. As if it isn't already great enough that the game is getting a remaster. It seems the coin finally landed on its edge.
Tods nosotros debemos comprar este remastered asi no dejamos morir esta increíble saga. Con suerte podemos tener un remake o algun juego nuevo. No pirateen, comprenlo.
People keep running with the trailer and think that is the definitive look of the game. IT ISN'T. They turned up the brightness and vibrancy of everything for the trailer. It's to show as much of the detail as possible. The normal graphics and gamma probably aren't like that. People assume way too much.
I'm a little concerned about the character models. They look more like plastic action figures. Defiance had that problem too. As scruffy as those SR1 graphics looked, Raziel looked more convincing. It looked like the scowl is rotting. His skin looked more messed up and he looked dirtier. I'm not sure about Melchiah either... maybe a lot of it is the lighting, too.
oh yeah i think they are great. i was more talking about the bungle of the star wars games. Theyve redeemed themselves rthough with Bounty Hunter and jedi power battles now
I hope this means we can expect remasters for BO2 (with a bit of a rework) and defiance. BO1 needs a remake, but I'd take a remaster (whatever that'd mean for that game)
Blood omen 2 remaster, defiance remaster, blood omen 1 remake or remaster would be amazing. I would love to see this series actually comeback… I know a few of the VA are no longer with us so it would be hard to do but it is not impossible.
@@SpiritOfParadox would you keep the top down view or would you change it up for the game to be 3rd person? I could see a BG3 style camera very appealing for a Blood Omen remake. But I could also say a 3rd person remake would make sense as the rest of the games are that way so it would fit.
@DarthAscension Both, camera angle could easily be changed through a button press. Giving the player more choice. But I must admit I wish they did Blood Oman 1 remake first. I love soul reaver 1&2 but BO1 has a soft spot. I play it from time to time on my PS Vita
@@SchwaWasHere A man can dream. Lost worlds and T.A.D both have had access to that content for a few years now so I don’t see why not ya know? We shall see.
More than one person has suggested this may be true.. I mean they're using concept art as a reference, and even used music from the first soul reaver trailer... I don't think it'll have an actual effect on the story because it would change everything and I don't think they're going for rebooting the series... it might just be an extra area you can get to from a menu, as this guy already said
@@Knux5577kains final line in the traile is also from his cut 3rd encounter, which means they have access to all the cut dialogue. But I find it hard for the cut content to be reintegrated, I think it is more likely it will be static levels with developer commentary under the bonus sections
Yeah....the coin landing on its edge is the only reason we got these remasters. Expexting the cut content from SR1 to be put back into the game is the height of foolishness. We were lucky to get this much, don't get your hopes up.
@@soul71000 oh I didn’t catch that! Interesting 🤔 i wonder if it’s a “times have changed this isn’t considered M anymore” thing with the ratings board or if they actually censored it somehow? I’ll definitely be covering this when it’s out and compare.
I know I already plan to buy 3 copies maybe 4 or 5 if it gets a physical next year I want the rest of the series remastered cause the PC versions are busted and Emulation really does not like these games.
On the trailer the statue was way more feminine then remaster trailer thats the only thing that bothered me but other then that im pretty excited for my childhood game
@@kalkanciii100% agree. This is woke bs. The statue is clearly “masculine “ with narrow hips, wider waist and a square face. Anyone who thinks this is still feminine needs to get their eyes checked.
I hope you understand that map is optional, you don't have to look at it ever. Besides, from what I saw about a map so far, its a reference rather than map. no paths whatsoever on that image, just general direction of something you already discovered.
Looks like a community patch, there's nothing outstanding about it. Could've at least used a modern engine, like UE5.... instead they chose to make it look like a Pixar animation.
Everyone who missed backing the Soul Reaver The Dead Shall Rise comic(link in description) you can make a late pledge still on Kickstarter.
If sales perform well, maybe they'll consider remaster for Defiance or remakes for both Blood Omens!

Was the shade towards TR necessary? Lol Aspyr did an incredible job on them. Well worth $300 for this collectors edition in my opinion. 🤷♂️
oh yeah i think they are great. i was more talking about the bungle of the star wars games. Theyve redeemed themselves rthough with Bounty Hunter and jedi power battles now
I only hope they slightly smoothed out the combat
I hope this means we can expect remasters for BO2 (with a bit of a rework) and defiance.
BO1 needs a remake, but I'd take a remaster (whatever that'd mean for that game)
what was that game footage that ist on minute 3:52 of this video.
@@JoseGutierrez-pr6re legacy of kain dead sun. Long time canceled project.
Im sure blood omen is coming to playstation aswell december if memory serves
Blood omen two polished up, think razial and kane could do another game
Blood omen 2 remaster, defiance remaster, blood omen 1 remake or remaster would be amazing.
I would love to see this series actually comeback… I know a few of the VA are no longer with us so it would be hard to do but it is not impossible.
Blood Omen deserves a remake but keep all the dialogue
@@SpiritOfParadox would you keep the top down view or would you change it up for the game to be 3rd person?
I could see a BG3 style camera very appealing for a Blood Omen remake.
But I could also say a 3rd person remake would make sense as the rest of the games are that way so it would fit.
@DarthAscension Both, camera angle could easily be changed through a button press. Giving the player more choice. But I must admit I wish they did Blood Oman 1 remake first. I love soul reaver 1&2 but BO1 has a soft spot. I play it from time to time on my PS Vita
Guys this remaster have to ends with Defiance. Why they making only 1 and 2 ?
why not Defiance? It was never on console, it was a good chance. Or maybe thats the reason.
Razil is not Kain.. he is Legacy.
Whaaaaat??? Ain't no way they'll make the cut content playable
No way they are putting THAT much effort in
@@SchwaWasHere A man can dream. Lost worlds and T.A.D both have had access to that content for a few years now so I don’t see why not ya know? We shall see.
More than one person has suggested this may be true.. I mean they're using concept art as a reference, and even used music from the first soul reaver trailer...
I don't think it'll have an actual effect on the story because it would change everything and I don't think they're going for rebooting the series... it might just be an extra area you can get to from a menu, as this guy already said
@@Knux5577kains final line in the traile is also from his cut 3rd encounter, which means they have access to all the cut dialogue. But I find it hard for the cut content to be reintegrated, I think it is more likely it will be static levels with developer commentary under the bonus sections
Yeah....the coin landing on its edge is the only reason we got these remasters. Expexting the cut content from SR1 to be put back into the game is the height of foolishness. We were lucky to get this much, don't get your hopes up.
Limited Run are unlimitedly shady.
The only thing I dislike is they did not add any Steam achievements. Like, what the hell?!
Yes they did, and if you watched the video, you would have known it.
My only concern is that this remaster is rated T when Soul Reaver was rated T and Soul Reaver 2 was rated M.
@@soul71000 oh I didn’t catch that! Interesting 🤔 i wonder if it’s a “times have changed this isn’t considered M anymore” thing with the ratings board or if they actually censored it somehow? I’ll definitely be covering this when it’s out and compare.
@@Calypso694 If It's censored in any kind of way, I'm not buying.
What madness is this?!
They better not skimp on anything.
coloquem dublagem ou legendas em portugues,nós fãsdo brasil aguardamos isso ha 25 anos
🙏😊
I know I already plan to buy 3 copies maybe 4 or 5 if it gets a physical next year I want the rest of the series remastered cause the PC versions are busted and Emulation really does not like these games.
Bring back Blood Omen 1 and 2
Vae victus!
looks awful
is only 18$....huh ok....I am listening.
Is lazy remastred
On the trailer the statue was way more feminine then remaster trailer thats the only thing that bothered me but other then that im pretty excited for my childhood game
I still find new statue feminine, just more of an old Asian granny kind of feminine.
@@Acidicus23 i smell wokeness in that sorry i dissagree
@@kalkanciii100% agree. This is woke bs. The statue is clearly “masculine “ with narrow hips, wider waist and a square face. Anyone who thinks this is still feminine needs to get their eyes checked.
A map? Please no
I hope you understand that map is optional, you don't have to look at it ever. Besides, from what I saw about a map so far, its a reference rather than map. no paths whatsoever on that image, just general direction of something you already discovered.
Fake fan.
@@screambleeddierot9521 thanks for the algorithm boost.
@@Calypso694 I got you!
Pray they make all console physical copies
Better have the og music.
CD was let go from square, they're bringing back their bread and butter with this game
Embracer bought them up and are desperate to make money on the IP they own.
Looks like a community patch, there's nothing outstanding about it.
Could've at least used a modern engine, like UE5.... instead they chose to make it look like a Pixar animation.
Blood Omen 2 no, it's the worst game of the series and the only one with plot holes.
Hope they remove that game from the canon
