Could be interesting. Would have just preferred a proper Legacy of Kain title instead tbqh

[vishmarx]

ironically.what a FAIL LEGACY.

Looks like a poor man's Left 4 Dead gameplay wise with vampires instead of special infected, and what I would expect of an HD remake of the PS2 verison of Legacy of Kain graphic wise.

Thankfully it's F2P, but they need to put this back in the pot and let it simmer. Some good ideas here, but they need better execution.

Hire an artist to come up with a good smooth looking art style, and come up with something a bit more unique to set it apart from other games, and make it seem deeply tied into The Legacy of Kain, because had they not said it I would have never known it had any tie-in.

Blood Omen and Soul Reaver were too awesome. I don't think fans of the series are too interested in this new type of game.

[Anon1974]

Not that this doesn't look cool, but I'd really like to see a new Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver.

[vishmarx]

this was supposedly a multiplayer component to a lok reboot.
geniuses scrapped the sp

[Xandet]

Ugh, what a horribly mediocre way to reintroduce the Legacy of Kain series...as anyone who has played the first few games in the series would know, one of the greatest, most engaging elements of the series is the story and the characters that inhabit it. Why scrap that for a class-based multi-player only game? After successfully rebooting some great franchises like Tomb Raider and Deus Ex, I was sure Squeenix would know better. But unfortunately now Nosgoth will bomb and the LoK franchise will again rest in purgatory. For shame.

[T2]

What a great story it was .... Sigh

[Pozzle]

It's sad to think that this Nosgoth game will be many peoples' first introduction into the Legacy of Kain world. Ugh, it's such a shame to see this beautiful franchise reduced to this. :(

[sinncross]

EDIT: double post sorry >.<

[Astargatis]

They cast the series into the Lake of the Dead...

afterall these yesrs, i hope it hite ps4

[OliverKO]

Currently only looks like it's announced for PC, but we can only hope.

[user7402931]

im sure hoping, lucky pc guys.

[SuperLupe]

Free to play. Hype dead before it started.

[JimmyLmao]

why? subscription based games are a dying business model, F2P is on the rise and it is here to stay, whether you like it or not.. as long as it is not Pay to Win, it will do just fine. =)

Just look at how the hype for elderscrolls online has died now that it has been announced to be a subscription based game, on top of the initial $60 purchase!!

[razielsonofkain]

What the fuck has this got to do with Legacy of Kain? shambles!

PSY-who??

Ugh.

RIP Crystal Dynamics

Ughh

Not looking good, I am tired of vampires and zombies.

Give this game a great solo campaign and it can be rescued from the immediate oblivion

[Inception]

I don't seen any Legacy of Kain vibe on this game. And the vampire class really looks too overpower compare to the human class. Already imagine players will overuse / spam that flying ability from vampire class.

But hopefully, with this, SE will make a proper sequel for Legacy of Kain. If not, just remake Blood Omen & Soul Reaver and i will be happy.

[Relientk77]

Looks interesting

[Endo-Endo]

hows this work Raziel had his clan purged after he got his wings if they can't be arsed to remember the other games then I'm not going to play this

[feraldrgn]

Would have rather had a Raziel or Kain game to be honest. :/

"all the events take place immediately after the events of the original Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver"

*grabs coat*

[Razzy]

How the hell is it possible for the Razielim to exist after LOK:SR? Cloning?

"Raziel's clan, also known as the Razielim, comprised one of the six vampire clans which inhabited Kain's empire, and its members were the vampire children and descendants of Raziel. Mentioned only in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, they were ostensibly eradicated by Kain following Raziel's execution."

Give me a break...give us a proper sequel to Defiance or re-make Blood Omen: LOK on PS4. I can only imagine how awesome it would be to play as Kain in an open world 3D Nosgoth.
