Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver Physical Editions Delayed, Deluxe Edition Preorders Available

As of this date... I have tried the remaster - I did not buy it.

I am a big fan of the very first game legacy of kain RPG, ... really good back then. Watch minute of it here https://youtu.be/SKTXp3j6Csg?t=750 on YT classic gaming. For 96' it was wildly amazing. The LoK games after were rather good, a bit too much box moving - who knew vampires would spend soo much time dragging boxes around. Good but not great games, I still played through them.

So was the remaster any good... yes and no, there are few quality of life - but the remaster part of it, seems to be a AI overhaul of the graphics giving everything a nice smooth coat of paint, nothing is strikingly stand out. There are no HDR or RT lighting, and the FPS is capped on most platforms at 60, and on pc it looks weird if you try doing anything else. What ever interpolating they are doing, does not work, if you try for higher fps it feels weird. They have brought some graphic overhaul to the main characters, but for the most part everything looks similar but brighter or given some highlights.

If you have not played these two games, try em out they are pretty good and at a reasonable price on steam. If you have, I would just try a emulator and rom, as they have pretty good upscale settings, to take you down memory lane until you remember most of the game is puzzle pieces where you drag boxes around, and platform jump.

Would I have liked a Resident Evil 2 or 4 remake, FF7Remake, of these games... for sure. But right now if you have played these once, you may want to just try a demo, emulator, torrent etc and see. We are getting too many old classic games that were just run through AI, upscaling and replacing graphics, but really adding nothing that amazing, for the $$$ especially if you have played them once already.

Remake Blood Omen to todays graphics or give us a sequel in the franchise, make us something NEW. Sounds weird, doesn't it.

Awesome, day one. Another release skipping Xbox becaise of Sony money hatting, right?

Only messing, its clearly because 8 million series x consoles (only 500,000 sold the past 12 months), simply isn't feasible to do a physical release for. I'm not joking this time.

Limited run trying to rip people off refusing to answer questions such as do you have exclusive rights to the physical game which drove people to their site and then instead of an open pre order which they always do they made the regular version of the game limited so they sold out in hours. Surprise surprise the collectors edition was an open pre order so they tried pushing people to buy the collectors edition which is super scummy but it came out that there was a retail physical version that's cheaper than their basic version before folks spent over a hundred dollars on something they only wanted the game from
