Does the Legacy live on? A source tells VG247 that Crystal Dynamics is preparing a "full reworking" of the Soul Reaver series, complete with a new art direction. At the moment details are scarce, but then so are Kain and Raziel these days. Both made an appearance as playable characters in Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light DLC, but other than that (and Soul Reaver on PSN), we haven't seen our duo since Legacy of Kain: Defiance in 2003. It's unclear where this new game would fit in the series, but given that the last game and the Lara Croft DLC featured both Kain and Raziel as playable characters, I personally hope the next will, too.

A reveal was previously expected at E3, but that appears to no longer be the case. When asked about the rumors, Square Enix issued a "no comment".

Next to Lunar, there is no other series I'd rather see a new game from. Please, gaming gods, let this be true.

I disagree...slightly.

A new game? Absofruitley. But a reboot is the complete wrong way to go about it. There is no reason to change the story that way.

Crystal Dynamics hasn't made anything good since 2003. That new Tomb Raider looks pretty non- interactive, too.

I think the new Tomb Raider looks like it has potential. I haven't really seen enough hard gameplay footage to say anything concrete though.

Did Crystal Dynamics make Tomb Raider Legend and Anniversary? Those were both pretty (and really) good! Underworld was decent but buggy. It's a shame that nobody cared about Lara when her games were finally good. (I never cared for the old Tomb Raider games even when they came out) I have faith now though....

I played every Tomb Raider game and none of them after PS1/Dreamcast were worth it.

Can't disagree. Not to mention the LoK series' creative director, Amy Henning, is now working at Naughty Dog. Still, I'd like to see them give it a go.

Got it. You prefer completely broken tank controls (Even as far as tank controls are concerned) to controls that actually work. But I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you picked the old ones.... ^o)

It has a lot more to do with level design and pacing, but I appreciate that you're a douchenozzle who thinks that a game's age has anyhting to do with how much I like it.

I'll take douchnozzle over blind retrophile every time. (At least the douchnozzle is honest) But let's set this train back on the tracks.

Personally I wouldn't mind a 3D modernish remake of the first Blood Omen game. VERY different nature kinda disconnected it form the rest of the games, in feeling anyway. Or they could remake Blood Omen 2 completely, because that game sucks.

Yeah, retrophiles generally own roughly 250 games for current platforms.... sorry, but modern Tomb Raider is a joke.

Yeah they do. They bitch about how much they hate all this new shit and buy them anyway. A move which makes no logical sense...like the rest of their dementia.

Except I don't currently have ANY games in my house that I don't like.

I hate shitty games. Period. I don't care how old they are, who made them, what system they're on...

I happen to hate modern games in a few long-running series (namely FF, Tomb Raider, Street Fighter, Resident Evil), but look at my 3DS library:
Bust-a-Move Universe
Super Mario 3D Land
Mario Kart 7
Dead or Alive Dimensions
Frogger 3D
Sonic Generations
Shinobi
Ridge Racer 3D
Star Fox 64 3D
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Pilotwings Resort
Super Monkey Ball

ALL OF THEM are new games in old series. A lot of them are way, way different than older games in the series.

Ever seen me bitching about any of those games?

Sorry that you can't accept that someone might hate the new Final Fagasy games based on personal experience and totally reasonable criticisms.

The last game I actually bought and didn't like was... Halo 2? Turok Evolution? Maybe something more recent, dunno.
