Its sooooo cool to see people that are huge into these games. The survey showed me that. LOK is my top of games for sure, I played so many different demos, watched the same trailer over and over when I was younger, and played it day one when it came out, then again on PC. Such a GREAT series! Enjoy these! Here's hoping for the other 3 THEN a new story!
I watch you from Brazil and i have to say this game is one of my favourites of all time. Today i have 36 and i'm going to download this classic to play again 😊. I play this game for the first time in 2002
Curiously, Brazilian too here. Huge fan of the game also since 8yo! Language was a barrier but this was THE game that inspired me to learn English. I was only able to fully grasp the whole story in my mid 20s, reading a lot of wikis, replaying the series multiple times, and watching countless videos from the very few content creators that kept the community alive. I cannot overstate how happy I am with these remasters! Vae Victis!!
I remember seeing a preview for blood omen in a magazine back in the 90’s and it so caught my eye. Got it upon release and I’ve been a fan ever since!! This remaster is just what we needed!! Hoping for a remake or new entry next!!
I got a demo of this game when I was 8 years old. It showed a gameplay video and let you interact with the title screen, but that was it! I spent years trying to get the full version here in Argentina, and when I finally managed to play it and control Raziel, it was truly an epic moment. I think the music and art are just as important, if not more so, than the gameplay itself.
Watching you play this without map or compass while I’m out here fighting for my life trying to figure out where to go is mind blowing 😂. In all seriousness though, I’m so glad these games are finally getting the love they deserve, I remember having an old PlayStation magazine with a guide up until the Rahab fight. But sadly I never played it when it originally came out, my first actual physical copy was soul reaver 2. I fell in love with the series back then, and I’m so glad to see it still has such a strong loving community.
To be fair if shes anything like me and was a massive fan of these games she probably played it so much she knows where everything is by this point. BUT dont get it twisted we all ran around trying to find where to go lol
You know she played this game hundreds of times when she was little when we are not even 10 minutes in and she's like "There's a speedrun technique here that allows you to skip the cinematic"
To be honest I'm fairly certain i played this game when i was around 7 or 8 years old watching my dad play it on the ps1 then again when soul reaver 2 was released, I have just always loved seing the intro to 1 aswell as listening to the sound tracks, and now i get to play it with 60fps or better even tho its been about 20 years im still at awe of the intro, I only hope that this series will get a continuation with full modern grapics especialy how they teased us with the trailers. The cinematics in the trailers just looked abouslutely stunning just wish they made a setting that let us see all the cutscenes the way the trailer was.
Great video, always good to see videos from passionate people. This remaster is my first time completing Soul Reaver and playing 2, they've both been great experiences so far though I think I prefer 1 a bit more than 2 in a good few areas. Still, looking forward to the next part!
Next part hopefully coming out tomorrow! I love Soul Reaver the most as well, but SR2 for the story more! Simply because there is just so much more dialogue and lore being dropped! :)
Also i think its great that the humans in kains far future begin to worship a blue skinned cloven handed ex vampire, when 3000 years before they fanatically hunted down janous and his humans turned vampire. Kain privete joke runs deep.
@@WilliamFaure thank you for watching! It's just so amazing to see what they have achieved with the remaster! Can't wait to see more, I'm still managing to avoid most spoilers somehow 🤣
@@Glaiceana You're welcome! I couldn't agree more with you, this is really a labour of love, and I had pretty much the same reactions when watching that intro, or seeing these models and textures from up-close for the first time. 🥹 I even wanted to record the game too, but there are already a ton of playthroughs going live currently (which is great!) and my microphone is broken (lol), so I'd rather wait a bit now, not to mention there could be patches coming soon, so I guess it's for the best! 😅 Anyway, I already look forward to the next part and I hope you can complete your playthrough without getting spoiled! 😁
Hi,first time viewer here,I'm playing this myself for the first time,I'm late to the party I know and u look like a cool person so Def had to follow you 🎉
You showed a lot of cool things that I didn´t know. I also play the remasters right now and its crazy how I missed those games and the story. I still hope we get this sequel to defiance some day
Thank you for watching! Hopefully I will show more cool things in the game in the next videos! :) And yes I really hope we get a sequel someday, it would be amazing.
I thought it was silly for the long-ago friend to be terrified of Melchiah, but I myself was fairly traumatized by seeing the silenced cathedral's pipes shift and rearrange themselves soon after that confrontation.
amazing game. a game that was fresh and new at the time like so many playstation 1 games in the 90s. i mustve played through this a dozen or more times. shame it didnt get a full on remake and that newbies are hating on it
@@Glaiceana i found out pretty early on, i remember aimlessly wandering around after melchia trying to find kain and wondering what to do as a child because i missed the side entrance lol
I wish in the future after this remaster success they make a game where we can play has Raziel once again but on his Vampire era when he still serve Kain, pretty similar of Blood Omen 1 and 2 but with modern mechanics and stuff. PS: I also really want to see LoK Defiance has a remake, i personaly accept a remaster but i hope they remove the static câmeras from that game.. Is terrible...
As this is my favourite game as well, i feel ok saying raz is such a drama queen when he first gets resurrected, then its all revenge revenge revenge. Such a turn around.
Defiance ends so well and as happy as I am about a remaster 🤣 I wish we could get a conclusion.. sadly with the way these companies do things now it wouldn't be good.. for some reason they hate having people actually like the product.. everything has to be bad and lose millions now..
If we get the at least some of the same devs to work on it, or at least passionate fans, it should be a good game if they make a continuation! Sort of how its going with the prequel comic "The Dead Shall Rise".
So let me explain something about these remasters. They took the PC versions as the base for these games. You probably only played the console versions, but the PC versions already looked pretty good in comparison. They couldn't use the PS1 game of SR1 it wouldn't have worked. So they used the PC versions of both games and did some heavy code changes and some heavy tweaking and adjustments and such.
Love your enthusiasm for this game. What platform are you playing this on? Sorry, just read the description that you're playing on Steam. I'm playing on PS4 and so far, it's mostly glitchless. I usually play on original (PS1) hardware as penitence for my sins 🙂
It is from 1999, which is quite old. The game definitely isn't for everyone, but it just depends on what sort of games you like and what you grew up with 😊
Key words 'back in the day ' gaming has changed in 25 years. This was stellar voice acting back then but we don't live in the age of Jill sandwich dialogue these days. @@charg1nmalaz0r51
Hey you!!!! I dont know if you remember me, we used to talk on DeviantArt a lot back in the day. I was the author who wrote LoK fanfics The Worshipper and Hell Hath No Fury. Really cool to see you here on RUclips 🖤 I'm going to enjoy watching you're playthrough. This really is so important to the fans 🖤

I never plyed this game on PS1, I owned it on the Dreamcast. To me that was the best looking version back then.
"become my Soul Reaver, my angel of death"
That's one of the best delivered lines of dialogue in any form of media for me
It truly is! Perfect way to start off your gameplay.
I watch you from Brazil and i have to say this game is one of my favourites of all time. Today i have 36 and i'm going to download this classic to play again 😊. I play this game for the first time in 2002
Hello from the UK! I am 33! Yes definitely get playing, you will love jumping back in to it! Thank you for watching :)

hi! from argentina. i can't wait to play it. good job hold in the tears at the beggining of the intro. new subs. enjoid the game!
@@type0negative55 Hi from the UK! Thank you for watching and subbing :) You are going to absolutely love the remaster!
Great video, always good to see videos from passionate people.

@Glaiceana 2s great for story, I love sassy Raziel.
this game got a lot of fans like you
Yes we are a crazy passionate bunch, we were desperate to keep the fanbase alive all these decades haha
Also i think its great that the humans in kains far future begin to worship a blue skinned cloven handed ex vampire, when 3000 years before they fanatically hunted down janous and his humans turned vampire. Kain privete joke runs deep.
I've loved the game series since I was little too
when i first played the remastered version of this soulreaver i was amazed especially every characters are lipsyncing
Absolutely all enemies impaled (not from you) with a spear have a spirit. If you absorb the spirit, it dissolves in the physical world.
That is amazing!! I mean of course it makes sense, but even so! After all these years I am still learning new things about this game 😮
Great video Sam!! As a total newbie to this game very excited to watch more of your videos on it!!
@@roorena239 thank you!! Will explain a little bit about the story in the next one xD
Super cool to watch your live reaction to the remasters! Thanks for sharing this moment with us! 🍻

OMG you can interact with the door at 24:15 this is a first timer for me, learning stuff xdd
Haha, glad I wasn't the only one who found out about this interaction late! It is amazing how much there is to find in this game haha
@@Glaiceana i found out pretty early on, i remember aimlessly wandering around after melchia trying to find kain and wondering what to do as a child because i missed the side entrance lol
Lets Go have fun

26:28 you can actually get there wtf xddd
Yes XD There are a few jumps like that in the game where they don't expect you to try to reach haha
I'm surprised this wasn't an achievement
This is how a cult game becomes a populist cesspool. Congratulations.

Game is such trash I tired it and wouldn’t take it for free ..
It is from 1999, which is quite old. The game definitely isn't for everyone, but it just depends on what sort of games you like and what you grew up with 😊
Literally one of the greatest gaming experiences you will have, go back to Fortnite kid and leave the good games for us 😂
stop being a try hard, this game was peak back in the day.
