Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered Leaks for PS5, PS4

These are the types of games I can get behind being Remastered.

I’d get a remake for sure. But remasters of games this old definitely don’t do it for me.

Brilliant. Such good games.

I'm fine with the Tomb Raider treatment. I think the first game is still just wonderful.

This is a remaster/ remake that actually makes sense. The games are a couple of decades old now (yikes!) And lots of people (including me) have never played them. I can't wait for this

It'd be great to get these playable on modern consoles in remastered form, but that's definitely not the sort of news that belongs in a State of Play. Remakes would another matter, but I doubt that would happen.

More remasters and remakes! Give me what I want!

Hello Raziel, my old friend
I've come to play as you again

Now this is a remaster I can support

I mean, something is definitely going on with at least Soul Reaver 1 as it was pulled from sale on PC.

There used to be a "Notify" button for the GOG listing (as it was for an update from the publisher) then the game entry was pulled all together.

Curiously it's the only title in the series that you can't buy at the moment.

Considering the enormous hiatus since her last piece of work (Uncharted 3), it's really cool we'll all get a chance to experience (or re-experience) two of Amy Hennig's early classics.

I'm so ready for this. I wanna give this another try since I've never beaten the original games back in PS1 and PS2

As it was also featured in Astro Bot I might dare to actually hope for a remaster of Rogue Galaxy? Or sequel 🥹

Definitely looking forward to playing these classics with upgraded visuals and mechanics!

A bit bummed Blood Omen was left behind

Now this is a remaster i want. Aspyr is a coin flip though, they done a great job with Tomb Raider but completely screwed up with Battlefront (still broken to this day).

Really cool to see Soul Reaver get a remaster, and similar to the Tomb Raider releases.

I tried playing soul reveal and while I loved the atmosphere, couldn’t get into the gameplay. Maybe I should give it another go.

Never really got on with these games back in the day, dunno what it was they just never clicked.

@RudeAnimat0r Yes!! I've been hoping for this for years now! I would love a proper ending to the series (although Defiance's ending was excellent) and complete remasters or 100% true remakes for the entire series, but I'll be happy with what we can get

We need Tomb Raider Anniversary on ps4. Can't believe it hasn't happened yet.

These are games that need remasters Sony

Pay attention

I mean yay for the people who enjoy this game but seriously another remaster/remake.

I miss when gaming had something new to offer, not the same games from 20 years ago

Oooh, that's interesting! Only got to play these in passing when they were first released so definitely up for a new release!

Edit: I seem to have made the same mistake as several others thinking this was the original ps1 games not just Soul Reaver 1 and 2. That's a shame. I'd have like Blood omen in there.

Now that's a remaster I can legit get excited for! One of the best franchise plotlines there is, shame their skipping Blood Omen that's my favorite out the IP and would love to play again on modern hardware, but I'll take what I can get.

@AK4tywill Its crazy we havent seen a Hennig-written game in so long. Damn EA for killing Visceral games and the Star Wars game she was writing

Remasters of games this old never appeal to me. The controls are never brought up to date in a satisfactory way. It's what put meet off the GTA trilogy remasters. Even Mafia 2 definitive edition was annoying to play.

Games this old deserve a remake but that's just too much of a risk for publishers to fund. Resident Evil gets away with it because it's still a relevant series.

Now this is a game that fits well behind Remastered trend. Same as Max Payne. Those are awesome. But to make a remaster on games from just several year ago is what makes Remastered a bad word.

Cool.that should be interesting.word up son

I wanted a remake or a reboot... not a ps1 revision.

Not sure if it was because I was only like 11 or 12 or something like that at the time, but man I remember these games being hard but also really fun

Ahh! here's a blast from the past...

Since I stopped using a lot of money on games the industry has just been spitting out old friends in new coats of paint.

Many are remasters of games I never tried. It is good to see a classic and have the option to play it on a much grander scale, but if I didn't really buy into it back then, will I now?

What I want to see are new game design and mechanics. I am getting the contrary old design and mechanics with new coats of paint.

Same company that did the TR remasters? That is good news.

This actually makes sense because they are PS1 and PS2 games respectively. They aren't backwards compatible.

yes yes yes. give it to me

Boooo , why no blood omen , I want more kain ,not this raggedy pretender

@Majin_Deicide I mean, they just gave you a remaster that you want. So maybe they are paying attention?! 🤷🏾‍♂️

Also. I bet not a soul who’s happy about this will actually buy/play it.

If this is a "remaster" like crash insane trilogy I am in!

@Nei Rogue Galaxy. 😁

It being Aspyr means these will be barebones cash grab remasters and even that they could F up. Such a bummer. This IP deserves sequels, a reboot, fresh start, or at the very least a quality team putting in the work to do a proper remake.

The trailer and screenshots are on Ign, it's a very minor improvement to lighting, textures and some assets...

Is Sony going to tell us we need the Pro to run this? 🤣

Who gives a BIG FLYING F... about all those cheap ass old games

The day after my bday, sorry Doctor Jones, but I’ve been waiting too long for this one!

@AhmadSumadi And you base that on what, exactly?

Lol

These are the type of remasters we need

@Majin_Deicide the fact that there’s been quite a few remasters of older games as well as some newer ones that don’t need remasters. For instance, the Sly remaster just came out. Many were happy about it, but mostly no one is talking about playing it.

Nice, I just need 4K and 60 fps for the game, and maybe subtitles and 5.1 surround sound 😃

Edit: Huh, I though we also get the 2D game blood omen legacy of kain, I hope blood omen is included in this collection, I played and finished blood omen, soul reaver 1 and 2 way back then.

@AhmadSumadi are you talking about the Sly Cooper game that released on PS plus?

That isn't a remaster, it is just the PS2 game emulated on PS5

@Medic_alert I see. I stand corrected on the remaster error.

And the despairing decline of the industry continues.

There was a fan remaster done years ago that uses the Dreamcast version, and it's absolutely brilliant. If this is better than that, then I will get on board.

Will Blood Omen be coming too?
