That thread is 5 pages and nobody is corroborating the email, just filling out the survey/discussing the franchise. You guys are ridiculously gullible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,228 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 if they are doing a survey, or hiring any outside company to do a survey, then its coming from executive management and not the developer. very low chance of them approving development of a new game. that's why they're doing a survey to see if the IP has any surprising amount of name recognition to even think about putting any investment. And it would have to be very surprising survey results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't take much to "do something" with the IP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. House 3,371 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 That's one series I never manage to get into. I think I played the port of the first game on the Dreamcast. lmao Some PS2 demo as well, I think. I don't care for this series at all, the art style always bugged me.

Remij 4,670 Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Survey was taken by over 100,000 people... with over 70,000 of those filling out the entire thing. It's not a matter of if... but when. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/legacy-of-kain-crystal-dynamics-says-it-hears-fans-loud-and-clear-after-100k-survey-responses/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's hard to say what shape/form a new Kain game would take. Maybe it's a sequel, maybe a remaster, maybe a remake, or a reboot.. but sadly some of the key cast memebers of the series have passed away.. notably Tony Jay as the Elder God, and Paul Lukather as Vorador. Vorador is my favorite character in the Kain series... although there's a few of them that are also right up there with him. I fucking love these characters, really. A remake of the original game would literally be a dream come true for me. But I'd honestly be happy with literally anything based on this series. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, that would be awesome! That's basically my dream Kain game. Essentially the first game, but with the environmental level design and puzzle designs of Soul Reaver, and of course completely updated combat. You're right, the design was so good. Ahead of its time in so many ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
