I'm so glad that they put subtitles in the remastered version. Didn't realized how much of the dialogue I missed back in the day when I was a kid and I only heard it. Now, in my young adult years, it feels as if I'm reading a classical novel again after so long.
Everything about it is just pure nirvana. Dialogue, texture, gameplay, all of it. I also like to caveat on one particular TH-camr, name of Coldshade, who had created a movie-esque cinema of the entire LOK series with both English and Russian subtitles long before the remastered versions were released. Worth checking out if you like!
I wish they would let you adjust the brightness level, I just made it to Zephon's ( or is it the dark Cathedral) and it's so dark that I can't see where I'm going.
@@MegaYoYoI remember thinking when I first went to the Silenced Cathedral thinking "I've just beat 2 bosses, this will be easy now" but the puzzles and the fact the Zephonim just surprise charge bite you removing the soul reaver grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr happy memories lol
@@MegaYoYo I think Silent Cathedral could go from annoying to great with a couple of shortcuts, NO respawning enemies and more clearly indicated pushable pipes. Most of the challenge comes from the multi room puzzles, the inclusion of WAY too many block puzzles (which I don't particularly mind that much, but I agree they could've used with 1 or 2 less) and the respawning enemies that keep you from thinking about what you have to do (which is finding those damn pushable pipes!)
16:31 Raziel: "Well, *what have you DONE with my clan* from then, you degenerate fiend...😠💢?!" (This one line from Raziel is just pretty much describe him at his angriest moment...)
If you played The Defiance Games, it makes so much more sense, but twisted within the butterfly effects at the end it is way too chaotic. And I played all of those games, that's why my own nickname has 'Kain' within it, but they deceived me 😢
Considering too how for Kain, his heart has been corrupted even before he was born thanks to what the Hylden did, who can blame him for being so fatalistic, even with his plans and machinations in the hopes to help[ him achieve his destiny as the Scion of Balance, and to prevent Raziel's fate.
@BryonYoungblood they added the Hildens as antagonists way too late, and tried to modify the game's history to match that, initially there were no Hildens at all... That's why that story is so flawed
One thing I wish they would of added to the remaster is the soul reaver humming when Raziel obtains it. @19:33 it's a small nikpick I know but it made the Soul Reaver more alive in this scene. if you want to see what I am talking about look up a playthrough of Soul Reaver specifically PS1 and what that scene
This doesn't seem to be the original Dreamcast version but instead seems to be using Raina's HD Remaster against the current remaster. It's 2022 vs 2024
I've never played the Pc version but i noticed that they took the face off Mobeous off of the final for to fight kain and placed an infinity sign their. I've beat the PlayStation 1 & Dreamcast version which has Mobeous face on the final confrontation with Kain door
Dreamcast version and PCSX2 will got the job done. No mistaking that. This version does run smoother and has a extra content that make it a must have for any Soul Reaver fan
Boy, Dumah just made no sense. Great warrior, never actually fight him because he just gets lured around like an idiot and that power was just so gimmicky and poorly utilized.

As someone who only played the PC version since 2001, the Dreamcast's already looked like a remaster lol
I didn't know how bad that PC port was until I saw a comparison video. My god what a terrible port
It could have been even better if made for the Dreamcast specifically.
Dreamcast was a mini remaster... But it didn't look this good. This is the 2022 fan remaster not the OG dreamcast

The writing is excellent and they did a huge service by adding subtitles. I realized I was understanding some word I misheard

@@LegendaryDarkKnight602 So that happened to me and a restart reset the lighting. I think theirs some weird bug when you beat Kain the first time
@@MegaYoYo Thank you, I've also encountered quite a few infinite black voids.
I was 8 years old when I played the original, I am 31 playing the remastered. Soul reaver is all grown up :)
Same here hermano. I love going back to play this game. Minus the silent cathedral. I despise that level

@@ControversialChris-o2b I wished they improved the moving speed for blocks but alas, we still move at a Y2K pace
@@MegaYoYoI wish they would have added a sprint button.

I love the added touch of the mouth movements. Especially Rahab's.
Such a huge plus
I love Kain's attitude- knowing the future he gambles it all to try and change the fate of nosgoth but he's still fatalistic about it
16:18; 16:24
Kain: "That *seems the abyss has been unkind 💀 to you, Raziel* ...😈"
Raziel: "Yet, *I am your very creation, Kain* - now, as before..."
16:31

I really like how Melchiah's fingers are actually made of human legs and arms.

OG - Fleshy face
Remaster - Skull?
OG - Menacing predator fish
Remaster - Not so menacing chonker fish
I personally like their remastered looks. Melchiah now has a disfigures body for a shoulder and Rahab looks more menacing

Correct but I also wanted to showcase how much the remaster has improved in the texture pack
Okay, I´m kinda astonished how good the game looks!
It looks fabulous!
I wish they remaster all PSX games, imagine how great vagrant story would look.
I’d love brave fencer musashi remastered
Thanks for the video :D
Glad you enjoyed it!

I've beat the PlayStation 1 & Dreamcast version which has Mobeous face on the final confrontation with Kain door
Such a great remaster for a long overdue game ❤
100%
dreamcast version is perfect, and the pcsx2 running the sr2 is all you need
Dreamcast version and PCSX2 will got the job done. No mistaking that. This version does run smoother and has a extra content that make it a must have for any Soul Reaver fan
I had (and now have) this game and Defiance but never knew that SR2 existed until recent years.
Thank you for a great video
Happy that you enjoyed it!
What console is the Remaster you recorded for this comparison?
The remaster is being played on PC
It's flycast on the pc running the 2022 HD fan remaster, not the OG dreamcast version.
Fun fact.: directed by the same person
😂😂😂😂😂 I have the OG Dreamcast console and this game disc😉🤗🤗🤗🤗
Put that Dreamcast on a shrine. Too beautiful for this ugly world
Dreamcast had some gems.They also made the longest game in gaming history.
que recuerdos cuando lo tenia en la play 1 a ese en la infancia me alegra que volviera en forma de remaster
Uno de los mejor juegos para el play 1
If Rockstar work with them for making GTA Trilogy....
*Melchiah not Malachi
thx for the catch
@MegaYoYo no problem bro
Not sure what I'm looking at but this is not the dreamcast version. Looks like a pc mod.
It's dreamcast with a a little texture pack added
Em 2002 eu tinha pesadelos com esse Boss
Boy, Dumah just made no sense. Great warrior, never actually fight him because he just gets lured around like an idiot and that power was just so gimmicky and poorly utilized.
I get that a lot of these fights are puzzle based but that build up was not worth it
Si they realised a remastered for nothing and never dated to end up the story at all?
