I have a gut feeling.. that this series will come back!

Suuuure Amy Henning is over at Naughty Dog making Uncharted games. She was the one who made the Soul Reaver games but not the original Blood Omen game.

I know im not the only one who wants the series to come back. So much time has past and I don't think hardly anyone knows the story anymore. So maybe a Reboot is required. I would love to see the original Blood Omen redone in todays graphics and make it 3D and stuff that would be cool. Even if they throw us some HD remakes it would be awesome. I'd buy 'em. At least give us something this gen.

With Twilight and sparkley vampires running rampant these days, it's time for the badass ones to make a come back.

What do you want to see PGD?

The Legacy Of Kain will always remain one of my favorite videogame series of all time. The story, characters, gameplay - all perfect in their own way, albeit flawed. It's not a perfect series by any means, but it's still a damn good one.

That said, I would love to see either a HD collection happen for all platforms or a brand-new game that finally answers everything we need to know. Defiance answered mostly everything, but held a few questions left. I need them answered ASAP!

Don't tease us with a year in the title! They need to get Raziel and Kain back but I seriously doubt it will ever happen.

A reboot of the whole series would be great. The original game would benefit from a new release with widescreen, improved sprite and environment graphics, and no load times. But yeah, if someone could edit a ? into the thread title, I think we'd all appreciate that. The thread title is misleading. This is a question, not an announcement, and it irks the hell out of me to read titles like that, click it expecting earth moving news, then see a question with a poll. Like all the "OMG SHENMUE3??????!!!!!111!!!?" threads, then when you open it, it says "Wouldn't that be cool? Let's petition Sega about it!". It's just, ugh. Right up there with "Am I the only one" as far as terrible posting habits go for thread titles.

Come now, as much I love the reaver series, we won't be seeing this at all. The only one with great gameplay is SR 1. Now all I want is at least a book that concludes the story...

Thanks for the edit, much obliged. Let's just hope if we ever see more Reaver games, their is more focus on incredible fantasy environs and combat, then their is on pushing blocks around to solve lame puzzles.

LoK: Defiance was the conclusion. Everything came full circle. It just wasn't a very good game.

Defiance answered a lot of questions, but not everything. What about Kain? Will he able to finally complete his destiny? Will the Elder God get in his way of it? You have to remember...

[spoiler] The Elder God was buried in all that rubble while Kain escaped. He isn't dead yet and I don't think he can be killed at all, since he is immortal. Kain did enough damage with the new powers given to the sword, thanks to Raziel, to injure him, but not to kill him. [/spoiler]

So, at least in my eyes, that story isn't finalized just yet.

True. But it's been so long since Defiance at this point, (and the game was just not very successful) that trying to pick up from the events of the game without a refresher would likely not be a good idea if they want the game to be a success. The game had so many issues when it arrived that I traded it in after only two hours and read spoilers online to get the story. If they can find a talented fantasy writer, I'd actually be happy with a robust book adaptation of the events of the various games.

Oh yeah, I'd love to see a reboot.

The franchise is awesome, it would be great to play it with today's graphics, but I'd like the same story as in the original, so I voed for a reboot. :)

Today's graphics and today's design sensibilities as well, please. I just cannot do a game full of pushing block puzzles again mixed in with some mediocre to bad combat mechanics supported by a brilliant storyline.

Yeah, one of the biggest flaws I had with Defiance was the large amount of backtracking to undertake. Did it so many times that you just weren't sure what to do next or how to go about it until something finally clicks.

As metamania mentioned, but then again I don't remembered it all that well again..I think the ending was a pivotal point in Kain's quest, as the coin has landed on its edge. But to be content, when I realize the sequel will never come, I'll just see that as a never-ending cycle. That's what happen when you mess with time. There was a petition for sequel to defiance but to this day....Yeah, let's move on.

Yeah, it goes without saying, the gameplay has to be moden.

And I'll say again: It would be just awesome to play a new Legacy of Kain game! :D

I still wouldn't give up any hope for a sequel or for a reboot. Last I remember, the Tomb Raider DLC game had Raziel and Kain become DLC characters to play. It was very interesting, to say the least!

Man, yes. Me and some friends rented it and played all night long, back when about half of us were out of HS, but we still managed to get together and hang out. Good times.

I played the the first two, they were pretty good but kinda outdated now. Also Activision owns the rights so i don't see it coming back.

^Except to say that...

[spoiler] Raziel is now dead. His destiny is completed by entering the Reaver. What more would he have to gain or pursue? [/spoiler]

That's a nice cover BTW! I'm assuming someone hand-made it.

Honestly I connected more with him than I did with Kain.

[spoiler] There needs to be a sequel because Kain successfully avoided his fate. He was supposed to be killed by Raziel in Soul Reaver 2, but it was avoided. At the end of Soul Reaver 2 the sword turns on Raziel and his spirit is supposed to be consumed there and then. Kain still being alive, he pulls the sword out of Raziel. Raziel in defiance comes back through the dead Mobeius and is impaled by Kain so he can be absorbed into the sword to defeat the Elder God. Elder God is defeated but not dead, and Kain leaves to do... what? The pillars still become decayed so the world is still going to be ruined. There is no reason Kain cannot free Raziel from the sword again somehow. The point is Kain is still alive when he should have been killed and the balance restored to the world. So the whole thing DIDN'T come full circle because they changed thier fate. [/spoiler]

I don't care if it's a game where you play as Kain, or a game where he's the bad guy again. (Isn't he the bad guy in all of them? :P)

Just give us something. A Soul Reaver 3 is possible because of what I mentioned in the spoilers above.

I miss the games. I fully admit it was loads of fun to play them in the Lara Croft Arcade game.

TheHighWind Well if u played the whole series you would understand that Kain was never the bad guy it was twisted for him to be appeared as one and making a new one would be great but Raizel wouldnt really be in it if you ever beat defiance you would know all of what I just said. Over all just like GOW3 the ending left me with more question

HD collection at the very least. I'm not sure there's enough magic left for them to make a proper sequel without majorly boning it up.
