Legacy of Kain: A Remake in Sight, but Is It the Right One?
Imagine a Legacy of Kain with the art direction (AD) of a Hades . Can you visualize it? It would be crazy, right? Well, sorry to break your dream, but that's not what was announced recently. However, we will indeed be entitled to a remake of the Legacy of Kain saga, but it will focus on Soul Reaver 1 & 2 .
An expected remake... but not necessarily the one hoped for
So yes, I'm happy if this announcement makes your eyes light up, but I admit that it created a little frustration in me. Why? Because I've been dreaming of a remake in this saga for years, but not for Soul Reaver . No, what I want is the first Legacy of Kain , the one that started it all.
This game, even at the time of its release, would have deserved a remake because it was so ugly. But despite its ugliness, it had a crazy atmosphere, an incredible VF (French version), and above all a Kain so badass that you forgot all his visual flaws. It was a game that, despite its limitations, left its mark with its dark and epic storyline.
Why a Legacy of Kain (the first) remake would be magical
Imagine diving back into this universe, but with a modern DA, on par with a game like Hades . The animations, the sets, the lighting effects... everything could be sublimated to do justice to this gothic and rich universe. I hurt myself just thinking about it, but admit that it would be a dream.
Of course, Soul Reaver fans deserve a quality remake too, and I'm curious to see how this new version will modernize these classics. But for me, the first Legacy of Kain remains a work that needs to shine again. Kain deserves his comeback in a game that fully exploits modern technologies and sublimates his complex and immersive universe.
