After watching that they put subtitles in the remastered version, I 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.
Convoluted at best. Soul Reaver was never properly finished...then even after 2 direct sequels it's still left open ended and full of inconsistencies..
Something's off with the audio in the intro; The speech is much louder than the rest, and it cuts off for a bit in the middle. Saw another recording of it that was fine.
@@whyjay9959 My main nitpick with the intro is the lack of hanging flesh on the bone structure of Raziel's removed wings - but it's such a little thing - overall looks very, very well.
1:35:10 I love that they did this remaster... But some characters are so different to the original design. Like, Raziel looks spot on and amazing, but then you have Zephonim vampires looking like a different style altogether.
didn't know they had remastered this one so many fond memories about this franchise, still the 1st one was my favourite for the world building and morally grey villain protagonist kain, though it was quite different from the rest of the games
How did you get those graphics? I'm playing the same thing and yours looks better for some reason. I can't tell if I'm just tripping or if there's some way to turn the graphics up a notch.
Yes, the naming conventions on each title got progressively more confusing. The order of games in the series are: 1 - Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (Kain is protagonist) 2 - Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (Raziel is protagonist) 3 - Soul Reaver 2 (Raziel) 4 - Blood Omen 2 (Kain is protagonist again, story takes place after Blood Omen 1, but before Soul Reaver 1) 5 - And then Legacy of Kain - Defiance (Both Kain and Raziel are the protagonists)
Its a speed bug. Tunes out faster than it should. You can bypass the bug by a jumping a few times after you get passed the gap. Normal jump. Not gliding. Gives you a speed boost on flat ground.
They "improved" the one thing that held up the best from the original, the visuals. And kept all the mechanical jank and tech limitations that actually needed improving exactly the same. This franchise deserves better. Emulating Soul Reaver on Flycast (Dreamcast Emulator) with the fan made HD texture pack, is still the superior method.
I doubt it lol. This is yet to be patched over months. Tomb raider remastered needed patches for jank. It's an old remaster I dont know what people expected. its not even jank lol have you actually played it before?
It's channels like this that make me laugh they either pre-order and wait to the last minute to hurry up and make a video of gameplay or they go and pirate it and do the same thing 😂😂😂😂 milking much
One of the oldest games about vampires that has a cult following of it's own. It's INSANELY fun and has amazing lore wish they'd remaster all of the legacy of Cain games tho not just soul reaver
good effort with the upload but the game looks horrible, plays horrible. lazy and worthless "remaster", it needed better animations and more polygons not a slight graphical improvement that's pretty much more contrast and some shading and combat is still terrible especially the staying on target with attacks, you attack the air 80% of the time.
They added a map though, the biggest flaw in in the original game. Classic, legendary adventure game. Saying it was 'ahead of its time' is silly. It clearly was.
This is just as low effort and ugly as the GTA Definitive Edition. Zero updates to level geometry. No improvement to render distance or particle effects. It's just a texture pack.
not defending this cash grab in particular, but comparing this to Rockstar's Definitive Edition is unfair, this costs a fraction of the Definitive Edition, does the Definitive Edition have 1 game more than this? yes it has, but still is way shadier than this, while this is not worth anyone's money, the Definitive Edition is a straight up robbery and a slap to the face to a fandom that simply accepts it with a smile on their faces because in their tiny little brains Rockstar can do no evil, so consumers out there, companies keep doing that because you allow it.

Man i feel soo old playing this game again
Me too, dawg.
why, are you like 60?
Legacy of Kain series has the best stories in video game history.
Some* because we know this isn’t true
Convoluted at best. Soul Reaver was never properly finished...then even after 2 direct sequels it's still left open ended and full of inconsistencies..
@@HardPumpers exactly
@@HardPumpers u're just slow
@lonewanderer1328 says some crackhead who can't spell basic words...ok..
HOLLY S**** Kain has facial animations!!!!! and the Raziel's brothers too!!! I am so so happy, I cant belive that!!!
Best game in gaming history and it deserves the game of history reward not just a year reward
one of the best games ... imo
Used to have the demo disc of this! Awesome
Dumah has the best theme in the game
Why does the sound cut out?
Something's off with the audio in the intro; The speech is much louder than the rest, and it cuts off for a bit in the middle. Saw another recording of it that was fine.
Copyright on the Ozar Midrashim song - the one you saw uploaded was probably Raina Audron's and she worked on the remaster, so would have permission 🙂
@@nordicpaws2423 Huh, that makes sense.
@@whyjay9959 My main nitpick with the intro is the lack of hanging flesh on the bone structure of Raziel's removed wings - but it's such a little thing - overall looks very, very well.
@@nordicpaws2423 Turns out her upload was spared because it's not monetized.
It's the old graphics option available?
What's the point of buying the remaster then lol
@user-yk4qt2bs5y well halo 1 and 2 anniversary edition did it, why not?
It is, sir
@@bl4ckph4ntomm God bless you kind sir.
You can toggle into it in real time
1:35:10 I love that they did this remaster... But some characters are so different to the original design. Like, Raziel looks spot on and amazing, but then you have Zephonim vampires looking like a different style altogether.
this is the way they were originally intended to look but we couldn't tell back then because they were all pixels
@@abx786 Nope, there's concept art. But they did their own thing, making it look like a different style.
I remember playing this on the Xbox. Superb voice acting and an Immersive story. What a time to be alive boys.
It came out on PS1 never Xbox. Unless soul reaver 2 did.
gawddamn audio cuts out in the epic intro
I hope defiance is next on the board!
didn't know they had remastered this one
so many fond memories about this franchise, still the 1st one was my favourite for the world building and morally grey villain protagonist kain, though it was quite different from the rest of the games

They need to fix the camera bug at 4:17
Is this story part of Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen?
Yes, the naming conventions on each title got progressively more confusing. The order of games in the series are:
1 - Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (Kain is protagonist)
2 - Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (Raziel is protagonist)
3 - Soul Reaver 2 (Raziel)
4 - Blood Omen 2 (Kain is protagonist again, story takes place after Blood Omen 1, but before Soul Reaver 1)
5 - And then Legacy of Kain - Defiance (Both Kain and Raziel are the protagonists)
Yeah especially in Soul Reaver 2, you'll see how some events in the past are tied into it.
Is there an option to reduce music sound and voice settings?
So what API is this game running Open GL, DX11/DX12, or Vulkan?
Hi, bro! Could you check the language settings to see if there are Ukrainian subtitles?
Russian is available, but I don't see anything for Ukrainian. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇺🇸
@ Thank you! Heroyam slava 🇺🇦🤝🇺🇸
Oh snap it’s out now I’m getting it asap oh the memories 😁😁😁😁😁
Which part is the 2nd boss after Kain?
Nice bro nice movie ❤❤❤ nice 👍👍👍👍
I hate puzzles with a burning passion
Why?
me too, back in the day i had some patience for puzzles but this game and many others of that age made me hate them, now i cant stand them
After Zephon i dont have this portal unlocked . Whwre to go?
I am destroyed!
No, you are reborn...
So is there a bug cause the bells aren't working for me
Its a speed bug. Tunes out faster than it should. You can bypass the bug by a jumping a few times after you get passed the gap. Normal jump. Not gliding. Gives you a speed boost on flat ground.
Part two please 🙏
J'aurai tellement aimé le Blood Omen de la PS1 aussi😢
Game's already out?
Some TH-camrs get early access.
avatar frontiers of pandora 2nd dlc cutscenes when?
looks like they made a good job of this, unlike the recent Darksiders 2 re-release which was completely unchanged from what i could tell. Shameless.
100%?
I played this game 2002 i think it’s just wasting of money
Se os cara tava mexendo no game pq não refez ele logo..

@@chrissweetser160 I was genuinely wondering thank you , I love old games and just nevrr seen it
One of the most well crafted stories ever made into existence!

Skill issue
It's a remaster dude from a game from PS1 kiddo
Zoomer wants more polygons.
They added a map though, the biggest flaw in in the original game. Classic, legendary adventure game. Saying it was 'ahead of its time' is silly. It clearly was.
It needed a map before they usually had maps.

@@PepecoHub I agree, but that's like comparing shit to piss. I guess piss is better but I'm not touching either.
blah blah blah
@@aznthy This is why video games are slop now
Throwing a fit because it isn't a remake isn't going to give us a remake any faster
