I just learned you were the leader in the remaster. I can’t believe it. Makes sense now how you got a lot of good stuff on your channel related to LOK. Thanks for this. Get to relive my childhood. Awesome way to end the year. And spend my bday playing these games.
I've been waiting for this for a very very long time I still wish they made a continue game because they left us on the one of the biggest cliffhangers of all time and to this day is still blue bald me😂
I still find it hard to believe that LOK will be back after more then twenty years, but it was well worth the wait for us fans and I think that, deep down, we never lost hope. As Kain himself said - as long as a single one of us stands, we are legion. 💪
This channel always been here for me before the hype and everything, this channel always been here with the best quality content ive been a subscriber for a long time thank you so much!!
I cannot be more grateful for you doing this so new generation of gamers can actually experience the story beforehand before they play the game properly. The Legacy of Kain Saga and Soul Reaver means so much to me.. I do hope they get to port Defiance too and perhaps the older LOK games.
As much as I'm thrilled about this I'm far more thrilled about Blood Omen on PS5. Just the idea that LoK is coming back in this form is just so wonderful for me. A dream come true and a 'hope' fulfilled.
Absolutely love it! Thank you Raina and Bazielim for keeping the fire of bonfire hope burning all these years! It looks like it wasn't just an illusion after all💙
I was already a big fan of soul reaver when it came out years ago. I am therefore incredibly happy that both parts are now coming out in a remaster. I have already ordered it and can't wait to start playing it, because this game is and remains great.
As someone who hasn't played LoK in a decade this channel has kept me very excited and thrilled in this thankfuly not so long wait to return to the world of Nosgoth,big thanks to you guys,and congratulations to Raina for becoming the director of the remasters! Give her big hugs for us Baz :)
As someone who played and loved Blood Omen but never got to finish Soul Reaver 1 (or play 2 at all) due to never owning the consoles they were on at the time I'm really looking forward to revisiting Nosgoth and finally completing the two games. I was so sad when the Nosgoth PVP game got canceled some years back.. I know it wasn't the same genre but it was still really hype to just get more LoK content in general.
Thank you so much for talking about Blood Omen, the start to this amazing game series and still one of my favorite games and stories. So many videos that discuss Soul Reaver fail to talk about Blood Omen. I love this series and can't wait to revisit the world. its a shame Blood Omen is locked behind the upper tiers of PlayStation plus.
When I saw the Soul reaver gameplay and I saw the health coil a little bit different, the widescreen, the fog was increased, and then the camera was moving by itself to point the player where to go, I knew it was the actual remastered, so cool ! Im very proud of you guys, I was a kid when I discovered the channel, and the journey we have gotten together has been amazing, I can't wait to play and see what the remastered has for us, Thank you Raina!!
This made me tear up. Thank you for this amazing video, you did justice to the masterpiece. Not only it will come out soon, but it will happen exatcly on my birthday. :')
I agree. Definitely one of the better reviews I’ve seen. Seen a few that were terrible, like they are marketing some Disney princess game by idiots who have never actually played it. Hurts my feelings!😂
@randyburger2424 He is a true fan of the series, actually I believe SR1 is his favourite game of all times. It was mine as well, until I found The Witness a year ago. How cool it would be to have a blind playthrough from @RainaAudron
Super work on the video as usual, Baziel! Even if Moebius told me the remasters were hidden on the underside of hell, I would totally throw myself into oblivion to play them! *Vae Victis everyone!* 🔥
Speaking as one of the younger Lok fans im really looking forward to playing this remaster i can actually play the Soul Reaver games on a console i actualy own Hopefully these remasters eventualy lead to a new game in the series
I am so excited to return to the world of Nosgoth and Soul Reaver - two incredible games are coming back and remastered! I didn't think it would happen...the further news of a Blood Omen Remaster is even more fantastic - this is also a fantastic video as well and greatly appreciated catch up too
Aww, this is such a cute and well thought video, a small but spoiler-free video, but also a nice introductory full of information of LoK to newcomers as well as a nice refresh to LoK fans to the series lore. Also that smooth transition from the og graphics to Remastered at 14:18-14:23 was so well done😁 Looking forward for LoK this Christmas and a great momentous moment for the LoK community keeping the game alive to show support for the Remaster release to exceed the devs expectations of its release from the Pre-Orders to have been much stronger than they expected. *Thanks you everyone!!* Absolutely loved this video, such a sweet idea, Raina and Bazielim, pls keep up with the amazing work, sorry for the long comment, thanks you, you guys are amazing👍 (Edit-typos)
a few times a year i find myself watching all the cinematics put into movie form on youtube. that's how good the writing, voice acting and story was in these games. specifically the soul reaver games, the 3 games blend in with each other seamlessly. only way you can tell when your into the next games cinematics is the graphics.
content cut? This is incredible, will we really have an extra version of Soul Reaver 1 with the areas and bosses cut? It would be an incredible bonus after finishing both games to unlock a mode like this. The first time I played Soul Reaver 1 I was around 10 years old and when I finished the game I really got the impression that something was still missing in the game, I was right when I saw the videos of the voices of the cut dialogues and also the short ones Turel's clan scenarios I kept imagining what they would be like, it was incredible when a few years ago the builds that had the areas were leaked, if there was an extra mode with them I think I would cry with happiness hahahaha long time fan of the entire saga, congratulations on the video, eagerly awaiting the remaster, I already bought mine
My educated guess, based on what I’ve seen and read, it probably won’t be “playable game” but rather allow you to run around and see the areas with your character.
M . O . I . S . T While I'm not a huge fan of the scope of these remasteres or Tomb Raider they're not terrible by any means... I'm still so happy this franchise has been resurrected... If we see BO2 and Defiance in the future I will cry... If a Blood omen 1 remake is born out of this possible success I'm going to have a stroke. Thanks for all your hard work guys, I look forward to sharing the moment with the community come December 10th!
I've been listening to Bazielim's voice and narration of these Legacy of Kain videos over so many years, they've become synonymous with each other in my mind. Wouldn't it be something if somehow his voice ended up in the remaster in some form or fashion?
My most favorite one has to be defiance that game was such a good piece of work and the original blood omen game such a masterpiece good storytelling you got your twist at the end The whole series is truly a work of art
Did I just hear "cut content" are we about to get Turel??? Please god if its one thing I ask for cut content, either turel or priestest fight. Pre ordered this day 1, thank you for all your hard work Raina throughout the Lok community, youre one of the youtubers I genuinely follow'd the last 15 years.
@@alessandrobaggi6129 Alternated era due time travelling. Just simple as that. Just like SR2 when Vorador died in an alternative future thanks to Moebius army.
I never really thought about a through line from Soul Reaver to Titanfall 2 until watching this. I won't say much more but for two franchises I'm a huge fan of, it was fun to think they might have been inspired by this mechanic even if they weren't.
I am afraid to ask what you mean by "cut content" as i know you can't answer. But, given Raina's involvement i am starting to believe that she might have planned the actual completion of the cut content. That would be mind blowing. But, i am keeping expectations in check. What you two have done is already incredibly praiseworthy and i cannot thank you enough. :)
The cut content in SR1 was some Reaver Forges, along side the hidden Fire forge that you can find in Rahab's domain, there was also the Light/Shadow reavers and the Balance Reaver that you'd unlock once you struck Ariel and absorbed her Soul. The Last Reaver that was teased was one you'd unlock once you had defeated Kain In the cut areas you had a larger Human settlement that the citadel you go through, with a more profound Faction and reputation mechanic, but since they lacked time, they simply had the mechanic that the humans either fears you or revere you if you save or kill the 1st human you meet in the game There was also Kain's Mountain Retreat that was a super dungeon at the end of wich you'd fight and Kill Kain. Also the Fog Chimeny/Tower, the one you can see in the back during the opening cinematic when Raziel gets yeeted in the lake of the dead. Its a gigantic furnace that constantly burns material to polute the sky with Thick fog to protect lesser vampires from the Sun's rays and it was supposed to be in Turel's Territory, so you also had that, that was cut. And there was also a couple of glyphes and theor areas that wher cut iirc.
@Mugthraka Bud, i am completely aware of what the cut content is. I said that in the context of the end of the video where he says the remasters will have the cut content. We do not know exactly what that entails as of now. We don't know if it's been completed and in a playable form or just videos or a loose camera showing it. That is what i am wondering.
@@alessandrobaggi6129 Yes, the guy speaking isn't Raina it's Bazielim. You can see Raina on the latest Nosgoth news. She is the director of the LoK:SR1&2 remasters. :)
Great video as always!! Can't wait for the December 10th... Can I have a link or a name for the ambient Ozar Midrashim playing in the backround? Thank you, brethren
A heads up to PC players. GOG has Blood Omen in their new game preservation plan. I bought and sampled it for about 10 min. I “think” those horrible load times may be gone! I remember when entering the menus, even THAT had to load. It was instantaneous. The whole series and the remasters are available on GOG, FYI, though Blood Omen 2 is somewhat broken.
Aw man, Blood Omen 1 on PS5 still has the brutal load times. When I first played it back in the day it didn't bug me much, but now... Also can confirm the blood omen 2 being broken thing. It's mainly in the cut scenes but yeah as you get closer to the end of the game the cut scenes get more and more janky. It was like this on PS2 and they never fixed it for it's recent re-release. Still a fun game though!
@@ramonterrell1897 Same here, any exposure after 25 years is a good thing. I'd love to see the legacy of kain come back in full force. Imagine blood omen 1 but with Elden Ring level visuals!
@@ramonterrell1897 Hahaha you must suffer as I have suffered lol. The idea of a blood omen remake has been living in my head since 97 🤣🤣 and increased in wanting every time a new console gets made. 4 generations of playstation later and still no dice 😭😭
Elder God Game Remaster: - Take heed, Raziel. A forgotten history lies within this remaster. Know thyself - though it may destroy you... Raziel gamer vessel for 30 years: - As I pushed the early acess buy button free, a sigh of remaster air escaped the inner HD chamber. I was not prepared for what lay beyond this remaster threshold...
I just played through blood omen and soul reaver 1 last year so me good to play the remasters, might play blood omen 2 too, it was unpopular but i really enjoyed it!
Super excited for the remasters. I hope to see them include cut content in some form. Also, am I the only one who prefers SR1's Wraith Blade over SR2's?
Wow. I thought I was the only one. SR1 it was all wavy and looked like a wraith blade, SR2’s blade actually looks cool if you look past the silly “cone” of light it’s surrounded by. It is the detailed reaver, but the “light cone” they put around it, ruined it imo.
Lovely. Any idea if the new controls are aiming for something higher than simple remapping? I ask because it's harder to express major changes through footage rather than physical feedback from playing it ourselves. I'm hoping for something closer to the Tomb Raider remasters which had it's new freeform 3D movement included. A lot of people still preferred the tank controls but I did prefer the lighter movement that the 3D controls introduced. Reaver 1 never had tank controls but the movement itself did feel tied down at times. Sometimes it felt easier to simply swing the camera left and right with shoulder buttons than it did to actually turn Raziel himself, not to mention some corridors locking the camera.
I'm still kind of in disbelief that we are getting Remasters and now Blood Omen 1 and 2 are on Playstation+. Like we waited so long for the conclusion to the story, and the fact the wait could finally be over is just bittersweet in a way because i'm still waiting for something to go wrong and the IP owners just go 'you know what. Fuck you guys again. No ending for you.' But at the same time the hype is real.
I love SR1, I think SR2 lacked in some important aspects like the boss battles and compelling new abilities, story wise was really good, I wonder if the block puzzles are as frustrating as I remember them 😅 Can't wait for the 10th of December! Thanks for the video
It’s funny how many RUclipsrs and podcasters are pretending to be old LoK fans now (I don’t mean this guy, just people I’ve listened to for years who’ve never mentioned the series once)
Raina is the OG LoK RUclipsr, but it does feel strange to see so many suddenly following it. I guess the series has been dead for 25 years so we can give them a break.
I still wish it l was a full remake. I'm glad it's being updated so it's easier for people to play these gems, but I still want it to get the full remake treatment.
Love this comment. If you’re complaining about the hips on a stone statue like it ruins the game for you…get help! 😂 Same thing for all the perverts whining that Tifas giant breasts are giant enough! 😂. Or that they changed the model to not show 15 year old Tifas cleavage…get help!
@@Dorian.Janiak also... It's a prerelease screenshot of SR2. Shows that marketing materials having stuff that is much brighter than the actual game is a tale as old as time
Raina, did the Director of the remaster (you) have access to the source for the pre-rendered cutscene or do we have to suffer a poorly upscaled version a-la the Tomb Raider remasters?
I just learned you were the leader in the remaster. I can’t believe it. Makes sense now how you got a lot of good stuff on your channel related to LOK. Thanks for this. Get to relive my childhood. Awesome way to end the year. And spend my bday playing these games.

@@uggabugg agreed. Especially This one.
Best written story in a game of all time
Combination of great setting, writing and voice acting. Developers these days struggle to achieve one, let alone all three.
Hard agree.
Voice acting is such a top notch. It's my favorite in all gaming history. God bless Amy Hennig.
The time has come... The coin has finally landed, and we are at last one step closer to our destiny
The Gamble has finally paid off Raziel. It was all written a long time ago.
The coin is still turning...
I still find it hard to believe that LOK will be back after more then twenty years, but it was well worth the wait for us fans and I think that, deep down, we never lost hope. As Kain himself said - as long as a single one of us stands, we are legion. 💪

Good video raina.
I just played through blood omen and soul reaver 1 last year so me good to play the remasters, might play blood omen 2 too, it was unpopular but i really enjoyed it!
Super excited for the remasters. I hope to see them include cut content in some form.
Also, am I the only one who prefers SR1's Wraith Blade over SR2's?
Wow. I thought I was the only one. SR1 it was all wavy and looked like a wraith blade, SR2’s blade actually looks cool if you look past the silly “cone” of light it’s surrounded by. It is the detailed reaver, but the “light cone” they put around it, ruined it imo.
It has been so long... I still can't believe it's really happening.
Pre-ordered weeks ago. Can't wait.
Lovely. Any idea if the new controls are aiming for something higher than simple remapping? I ask because it's harder to express major changes through footage rather than physical feedback from playing it ourselves.
I'm hoping for something closer to the Tomb Raider remasters which had it's new freeform 3D movement included. A lot of people still preferred the tank controls but I did prefer the lighter movement that the 3D controls introduced. Reaver 1 never had tank controls but the movement itself did feel tied down at times. Sometimes it felt easier to simply swing the camera left and right with shoulder buttons than it did to actually turn Raziel himself, not to mention some corridors locking the camera.
For real they are adding the cut content!
Well done
At the end of the video is that new footage of Soul Reaver remastered it looks new
That footage has not been seen elsewhere
I'm still kind of in disbelief that we are getting Remasters and now Blood Omen 1 and 2 are on Playstation+.
Like we waited so long for the conclusion to the story, and the fact the wait could finally be over is just bittersweet in a way because i'm still waiting for something to go wrong and the IP owners just go 'you know what. Fuck you guys again. No ending for you.' But at the same time the hype is real.
SUPER SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS. CAN THEY MAKE DEFIANCE TOO? ITS SO GOOD AS WELL
The Soul Reaver Remaster is a dream becoming true much like the Shadowman and Turok 3 Remasters!
What do you mean… NEW MAPS?
I’m about to faint
There are new in game maps for navigation and a pair of larger lore maps which show the whole continent
I love SR1, I think SR2 lacked in some important aspects like the boss battles and compelling new abilities, story wise was really good,
I wonder if the block puzzles are as frustrating as I remember them 😅
Can't wait for the 10th of December!
Thanks for the video
Do you know if the Lost Levels will be playable in the remastered version of Soul Reaver 1 & 2?
nice, thanks bro
Great!!!!
sr1 was my first game on the ps1
This got my sub
It’s funny how many RUclipsrs and podcasters are pretending to be old LoK fans now (I don’t mean this guy, just people I’ve listened to for years who’ve never mentioned the series once)
Raina is the OG LoK RUclipsr, but it does feel strange to see so many suddenly following it. I guess the series has been dead for 25 years so we can give them a break.
I still wish it l was a full remake. I'm glad it's being updated so it's easier for people to play these gems, but I still want it to get the full remake treatment.
The coin finally lands on its edge
This needed a remake without block puzzles!
Are you all happy? they made the statue lady skinny again. Can we stop with the "go woke go broke" thing? I think y'all OBSESSED.
Love this comment. If you’re complaining about the hips on a stone statue like it ruins the game for you…get help! 😂
Same thing for all the perverts whining that Tifas giant breasts are giant enough! 😂. Or that they changed the model to not show 15 year old Tifas cleavage…get help!
@@randyburger2424 yall a bunch of killjoys. Just give people their cake man...
😎🤟 boom Baby
I'm a bit concerned that no form of unedited gameplay has been provided public.
What location is presented in 10:42? 🧐
It's the Subterranean Ruins caves in SR2. Just after you walk through the doors with the ancient vampire on them.
@@bazlmoon you're right :D Thanks for the answer :)
@@Dorian.Janiak also... It's a prerelease screenshot of SR2. Shows that marketing materials having stuff that is much brighter than the actual game is a tale as old as time
CUT CONTENT🖤
could you guys make a tutorial for how to use all the extractor tools like Blood Pill, Soul Spiral etc? Would be a massive help among the community.
Raina, did the Director of the remaster (you) have access to the source for the pre-rendered cutscene or do we have to suffer a poorly upscaled version a-la the Tomb Raider remasters?
Every time someone goes "can he beat Goku tho". I bring up Raziel.
What can we expect from the cut content?
