In July remasters of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 and 2 were leaked by a statue at Comicon of all things and the games have now popped up in back end of the PlayStation Store, presumably ahead of a reveal in tonight’s State of Play.
You can ever watch the trailer, which is nice.Here’s the blurb from the websiteCelebrate Soul Reaver’s 25th Anniversary.As you can see the remastered graphics are, well, nicer than the original, but it doesn’t look the polygon count has been increased that much and the lighting, effects and animation still look very similar to original game.The two games are sequels to The Legacy of Kain, both featuring the vampire wraith Raziel in a quest to kill Kain, the star of the first game.
Both titles picked up excellent reviews when they were released between 1991 and 2001, not surprising when they were directed by Uncharted’s Amy Hennig.Two of the games in the series were recently announced for the Evercade console.
Soul Reaver and Blood Omen are direct ports of the original titles without any new features and were released this month for the princely sum of £24.99.
