      ​@@LittleGreenBoxShow The very first time I played blood omen I was so captivated by the story I ended up playing it for hours and lost all track of time. I started playing it about 8 o'clock at night and before I realized it it was 3:30 in the morning. While I appreciate the fact that the soul reaver games have got the remaster treatment I would definitely love to see a full on remake of the original game that started the series.

    I think if anything Blood Omen deserves the full remake treatment. Providing they keep the story as it was, but I would be OK with them changing the ending or fixing it to one of the endings to make it line up with the rest of the franchise. However I think some of the reasoning for the Soul Reaver remasters came from that you cannot currently purchase the first game anywhere. The rest are on GOG and might require a bit of fiddling but you can purchase them. They would run on my mobile phone better than the original hardware.
    Edit* Just remembered the first blood omen is also available on the evercade system. I know its a £100 entry fee but the option is there

      The final encounter with Mortanius should be changed, as the dialogue in the version that got made, doesn’t make much sense. The Hylden seem undecided on whether they want Kain dead or alive too. That could be made more clear.

    On one hand yes. Blood Omen as a proper open world RPG with all the game mechanics of the original would be wonderful. But on the other hand there's much more room to fudge things up than with just remastering the textures and models for the Soul Reavers. Blood Omen is huge! I wouldn't want it stripped down to make a shorter game of it when such a big part is the exploration. Gathering spells and items, walking between towns, waiting for the moon caves to open etc. You could even talk to the villagers in your human disguise to hear more about the game events. It really is the true successor to the Original Zelda in many ways.
    Blood Omen is the game I've actually replayed the most over the years, and I just want them to do it justice if they try to remake it. It would be a huge and expensive endeavor.
    And it's not like Kain is just a villain in Sour Reaver series. In every scene he's in we're told Kain has some bigger plan he's working on and Raziel is only seeing part of the picture. In fact he's much less selfish as an individual by the time of SR than in the first game when he's just out to avenge himself. It isn't until SR2 that the meaning behind his choice is explained.

    The Soul Reaver 1&2 releases are just remasters, a Blood Omen REMAKE would take a lot LOT more work. But I agree, I would wholeheartedly adore a remake of the first game in the series. I imagine if the remasters sell well they’ll know that enough people are still invested in this IP and they would probably consider tackling the first game :)

  • @plo617
    @plo617 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

    Bravo! I 100% agree. Blood Omen has been overlooked for far too long. That said, Soul Reaver is being remastered. If they were to make Blood Omen, it was have to be completely remade from rhe ground up. It would have to lose its top down dungeon crawler gameplay and have a more Witcher 3 style world/gameplay. That is a lot more money and most people came into the series with Soul Reaver/Raziel. I believe a Blood Omen remake should end with an epilogue (RDR2 style), where the player takes control of a younger vampire Raziel, who just got his wings and is about to present it his new gifts to Kain.

    • @vanyadolly
      @vanyadolly หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Exactly. I don't think people realize how huge BO is, and how expansive it would be to remake in any form. Either it would need a massive budget at a time when the entire gaming industry is close to breaking, or we'd get something very stripped down.

    • @nyanuwu4209

      @@nyanuwu4209 Nah, that's not the reason. People just gravitated to Soul Reaver because of that awesome intro, the character design, music and the fully explorable 3D Metroidvaniaish world. Blood Omen had an amazing story, but it was a top-down dungeon crawler/RPG. It sucks how many people didn't get a chance to experience that awesome story before playing Soul Reaver. Also, BO2 has no impact on the original Blood Omen's popularity. Even fans of the first game didn't much care for the second. I didn't mind it, because I found the actual gameplay in BO2 more engaging than most of the Soul Reaver games. I know that's blasphemous, but that's how I always saw it.

    Shiiiiit! Your right. I'm too an huge fan of blood omen since it was my very first game I've played on the ps1 back in 97. I'm happy that their finally bringing this back out for the current gens and remaster soul reaver! But for omen they need to start from scatch leaving the storyline and dialog intact. Even keeping kains wardrobe but a bit modified like your concepts as well present. They truly need to work on this in full. As for omen 2! Unfortunately I couldn't feel it the story was everywhere the character designs was awful, hell kain didn't even look like himself it was like playing an entirely new vampire with the legacy kain title. If they decide to remake this game i say start from scatch and show how young kain started to mutate to the kain we see in soul reaver

      BO2 did not have outstanding storytelling or characters. Bad guys were mostly generic and the story was flimsy not to mention hugely dismissive of the setting and continuity (until Amy wrote Defiance to reconcile it all as an alternate timeline). There's a reason it's the least liked and often hated.

I'd love a Blood Omen full on remake with third person and a world that plays like Metroid Prime ode the Jedi Fallen Order Games....so not a full open word that wouldn't fit and would take away from the story. And the story must stay untouched of course. Honestly I think it would be a big success SR 1 also deserves a full remake and I hope it all leads to a new title!

    Blood Omen remaster/remake would be incredible, and absolutely deserves some love and care. I know that there was a survey sent out a few years ago and one of the questions was, overall, if a game was remastered and brought back to the forefront of things, which would you choose. I have a feeling Soul Reaver came as a majority vote because of how it looks and feels, and it would be friendly to new players. I do not believe for a second that anyone *didn't* want Blood Omen remastered, but we also wanted more people on board with the games again so that the chance it *could* be remastered was on the cards again, y'know?
    Definitely absolutely show some love to the remastered Soul Reaver 1&2/etc, then hopefully we can push for the remake Blood Omen deserves - it's such an incredible and fun game even now, I would LOVE to see more of it, for SURE! It just has so much content that would look and feel stunning if shown in a different light, but baby steps. We'll get there!

    I agree. I've always thought this. Seriously, just re-release an HD port of Blood Omen and pair it with this remaster bundle. Or with updated graphics if you prefer, but how are you gonna introduce new people to the series and its world through its second installment with no prior context? That was understandable back in the day because Blood Omen was readily available ALONGSIDE Soul Reaver on hardware perfectly capable of running it without hassle or hurdles to jump.
    But I'm betting most people unfamiliar with the series didn't even pick up on the state of play announcement that it's on PS plus because they don't even know it is a part of the series. It wasn't even positioned as the prequel to the remasters they just announced. Now, even if they don't get PS plus, they still won't know Blood Omen's relevance to the soul reaver experience unless they decide to research the series.
    All in all, i'm so happy we're getting these remasters but it strikes me as odd we couldn't even hype up Blood Omen or bundle it with this package to give new players the full story.

    I agree with you. The first one; Blood Omen Legacy of Kain is where it’s at. The story line and the way they spoke grabbed my attention initially. There is so much to know about the first game that can be opened up and even stories before Kain becoming a vampire as well. But besides the load times and laggy gameplay with too much going on within the game will be remedied with today’s technology. It’ll be more fluid. Not sure if doing the overhead view may still be a thing to duplicate again or not but i enjoyed the very first one. I loved Soul Reaver but I didn’t enjoy the fighting mechanics as well as not knowing how precise to jump from areas as well. I didn’t like having full health in order to maintain the blade and basically all your doing is stunning the enemies unless you had a spear to kill them. The storyline is where it was at and although I know they was trying to try something different I would say they smoothed it out better with Soul Reaver 2 and then Defiance was the better of them finally ironing out the gameplay to a great extent. I think basically if they had enough backing of funds and I guess more staff working on it that they could’ve been leaps and bounds to producing a very worthy game maybe who knows.

    I'm a massive LEGACY OF KAIN fan since the beginning, I pre ordered everything from the news BUT BO1 always has been my favorite! So thanks a lot for this incredible vid, tho I ain't a big fan of Al but it was nice to see what kind of results we could get from BO. It deserved a remake, the characters, the storyline, the plot twists, Nosgoth, the Pillars, the source of LOK is inside BO. Kain, Vorador, Mortanius, Moebius, Ariel all these fantastic characters were amazing from BO.
    And the soundtrack!!!

    I have to admit Soul Reaver was the first game of the series I played and loved when I was 5, followed by Blood Omen 2 and so on. And I remember briefly watching my dad play the first Blood Omen and being disinterested in it just from the play style, mostly because I loved the other games and others like Spyro, Crash, Jak, Ratchet, and Medievil 2(The one in the museum not the military one).

    Yes, the only way for us to get this series back, is to buy the remasters. Though, respectfully, I would disagree that Blood Omen should be the first movie adaptation. It works more as a backstory. Yes, Blood Omen started it all, but Soul Reaver put it on the spotlight. Let's hope the remasters blow up to proportions beyond our expectations to warrant us Blood Omens 1 and 2, and Defiance. And maybe the we get the Dark Prophecy.

    When the survey went out, whenever ago that was, I stated that I wanted to see soul reaver remasters but a full on remake for blood omen and if those did well, then continue the story from defiance.
    Also, you say that in soul reaver games we only see Kain as a bad guy doing things for selfish reasons, but this isn’t true. Sure, in soul reaver 1 this is what we’re led to believe, but in 2 you get to see that he’s out to actually save the world from demons and an unseen force but most importantly save raziel from his fate.
    I think Kain is far more interesting in soul reaver and defiance than blood omen.
    Personal opinion of course.

    Well I do get your point. I was aware of Blood Omen`s existence (and really wanted to play it) when it was released but never got to find a copy of it. My real introduction to the series was the first Soul Reaver. And back then I loved it. With that said I never differentiated between the two because they were parts of a bigger story with the exception being Blood Omen 2. Funny enough though that I finished Blood Omen last but Ithink somehow that of all the LOK games Blood Omen aged the best.

I know that Soul Reaver is the most popular in the series (so could be that they are starting there to kind of lure the community back in and test the water) but story and lore wise starting at Blood Omen 2 would have made more sense

    You already had me at the first minute mate. I also want this remakes to start at the first game. I liked the OG Blood Omen so much.
    And I so much agree with how Blood Omen as the base enriches Soul Reaver. It's the little things really. In the first Soul Reaver, when Raziel said "In the days before Vorador" it just hit a spot with me. It's a small line but if you knew who he was then this added so much flavor to the entire world. IIRC this is the only time Vorador gets mentioned in SR1 and it's only in SR2 where he gets a more prominent role. So that line means nothing to people who've never played the original Blood Omen.
    And just for the sake of it another example, seeing the remains of Nupraptors castle hit some so much. Like it was so up high and difficult to get to in the first game but in Soul Reaver it was just a ruin on the ground. But again, nobody who didn't play the original game would have this connection. Just remake or simply remaster the game already.

    Honestly I was beyond happy when I saw the Soul Reaver remastered trailer. Except for the 1st Blood Omen game I own and played all the others from Reaver 1-2 to Omen 2 to Defiance. The way I see the original Blood Omen needs a complete remake Final Fantasy VII style. With the current tech an open world hack'n slash game Witcher 3 style would be an amazing sight to behold but honestly I don't think there's any developer right now who can do it justice. And lets not forget that Amy Hennig should be heading development.

    Nicely put Ryan, and fully agree. I watched my pal plat through Blood Omen, he was a total vampire devotee. I was ensnared by its rich lore and its willingness to explore so many vampiristic traits and exploit them as power ups, very gratifying. I came in as a player with Soul Reaver, when I finally had my own Playstation, not expecting it to be so wildly different but so good. I think the whole series should be done, with special attention to Bllod Omen 2 and giving it the love that it was denied first time round, development wise as well as canonising some of the story elements and character motiviations with greater care and attention. After Defiance we could have a new final chapter, and this would be a TRUE LEGACY........ of KAIN... KAin...kain... kain... kai... ain..ain... ad infinitum. Just to annoy Morbius

    I've always imagined a Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain remake to look and play closer to The Witcher 3. Instead of a full open world game it can be divided into several large areas as it was in the original game as well as in The Witcher 3. Perhaps Kain can choose between presenting himself as a vampire or concealing his dark nature and pretend that he's still the righteous nobleman that he was before undeath, leading to different quests and outcomes when dealing with NPCs. His morality will be influenced by how the player finish quests and treat human NPCs, which will eventually determine which ending we will get.

    I agree that Blood Omen needs a remake. If one game from the series needs a full remake, it's Blood Omen. I think remasters are fine for the other four games. You are not alone in your opinion that we are "getting the carriage before the horse" in getting SR 1&2 before BO1, but maybe they wanted to start with the series' high point (in terms of sales/ popularity) and see how that goes before doing the rest of the series. SR2 was the first game I played in LoK, and I think they did a pretty good job recapping what all had happened up to that point.

    I would love a blood omen remake, haven’t played that game for so long. I Agree it’s a must for new fans as you see Kain in a different light, I started with SR1 then after discovered there was an older game (BO) and after that it completely changed my perspective of Kain and him as a character.
    Always thought I’d love an animated series similar to NF castlevania, grim dark world with rich lore, would have less humour than u saw in the castlevania series but would still be great. Could get a fair number of seasons starting with the blood omen story, then the new dead shall rise graphic novel onto Kain conquering the world (at this point there’s more creative freedom but would have to be sure not to mess/contradict what’s to come) You can establish the relationship between Kain and Raziel as his second eventually leading to the opening scene in soul reaver (if done right new fans not familiar with the game would have this as an impactful moment while old fans would anticipate this moment and the change it brings) to then follow the remaining games. Later seasons you could have off shoot movies exploring the older stories such as the original vampires as and when they are introduce in the main series.
