OMG, I would lose mind over remasters!!! The story, writing, voice-acting, and design were all amazing. Gameplay was OK. Maybe they could give that an upgrade!

That would be awesome! I loved playing those on Ps1

I played 1, 2, and Kain 2 a couple years ago. The gameplay has not held up at all.

I'm pretty sure the guy that played the octopus god passed away awhile ago, sadly.

I’m really hoping they somehow held onto the master tracks, Tony Jay’s voice is irreplaceable. Hell, a big part of this series is the voice acting, if they could use the original takes not compressed that’d be the best case scenario.

Aw man. Sorry to hear that. What a voice and performance, though! I can still hear him in my head.

Yeah, same. Kinda too bad that whole team didn't turn the story into an animated series or something.

I only played Defiance, but I remember loving it. It had such a strange world, I loved the Gothic style of everything, and the voice acting was honestly top-notch; it felt like I was playing what should have been a movie.

I bought the rest of the series on GoG a while back, but a remaster of the first two would be honestly amazing.

Huh. Someone must have triggered the fourth paradox. Nice!

If that's happening, I sure hope whoever dubs the elder god has a thundering voice similar to Tony Jay.

Having the first Soul Reaver come with an option that adds the cut content would be awesome - after beating Kain in the time chamber, you'd still have to beat a human witch, then Turel, kill/absorb/merge Ariel with the spectral blade (as shown in one of the "futures" before you fight Kain) before finally facing Kain for the last time, proceeding to fully eradicate ALL vampires and realizing you've been made a complete fool to the elder god's whims.

And please, keep Ozar Midrashim playing as the theme. I've come to love that song.

I loved these when I was younger. Much younger...

IT'S HAPPENING!

So exciting if true.

It seems that the Tomb Raider success might have greenlit this
