As expected, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced a remake of the first two “Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver” spin-offs in its gaming show today.
After Leak from today at noon It was no longer a surprise: Sony PlayStation presented a remaster of the first two “Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver” parts at the recent State of Play.
Aspyr Media and Crystal Dynamics, who recently released the “Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection” and “Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered,” are responsible for the project. Crystal Dynamics has provided Aspyr with the original code. This allows the development team responsible to deliver exactly the same (boss) battles and puzzles with the same balance and the same feel.
As you would expect from a remaster, improved graphics are offered. In addition to a visual upgrade, qualitative improvements are also included. The integrity of the original should not be compromised.
3 major gameplay improvements described
An important feature of the remaster is the changed controlBack in the 90s, the D-Pad was the preferred control method, which is why the developers adapted the gameplay to modern controllers. In addition, a Upgrade for the camera As in most modern action games, you will be able to use the right stick to pan the camera around. This time, you can look up and admire the sky.
Furthermore, Aspyr has a Map and Compass added. This way you never lose sight of your next goal.
You take on the role of the sinister Raziel, who must fight his former vampire brothers. In addition to his claws and telekinetic abilities, he uses the iconic Wraith blade. In the remaster, switching between the spectral and material worlds is probably the most important feature. This allows you to solve puzzles and find new paths.
But there is not only a change between the two different worlds: An option allows you to switch between classic and modern graphics at any time.
In addition to “Legacy of Kain: Souls Reaver 1+2”, there was another remaster to be seen at State of Play. This is “Horizon Zero Dawn”.
With this remaster, Sony wants to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the cult series. The release will take place on December 10th this year for PS5 and PS4. You will be able to unlock several trophies.
The announcement trailer shows how good Raziel’s adventure looks on the PlayStation 5:
