1. legacy of kain blood omem is the best

2. I would love to see a remake of this game much like the recently released Resident Evil 2!! This one top's my wishlist followed by Silent Hill 2 and Dino Crisis.

3. One of my favourites!

4. Isn't Tomb Raider reboot an open world Tomb Raider game? Crystal Dynamics has a perfect engine for a remake, there's been too many Tomb Raider reboots but I mean Tomb Raider The Definitive edition. I do feel bad that Crystal Dynamics is now just the developers that make Tomb Raider games as I've heard they want to do a LOK game but SE is SE.

5. Loved this gsme i have it on my vita

6. Man… back then i was so immersed into gameplay that i never cared about fps on PSX. Now even few drops below 60 bugs me. Soul Reaver was a blast back then. When i saw it for the first time i was mesmerised . Music, sound effects, voice acting and gameplay, especially shifting realms… this game was ahead of its time

7. Sounds like we need a reboot of this series in the Tomb Raider engine…

8. The new ReDream emulator is pretty great and I wholeheartedly recommend it for Soul Reaver's Dreamcast version.

9. Not tomb raider is a SEGA Saturn game first.

10. this is in my top 5 all time game series ! i have BO, SR 1 & 2 on cd, & have bo2, sr1-2 & defiance on steam. used to have the ps1 & ps2 games but sold those off since PC looks better.
    As much as i love the series LoK i don't think they would do a proper remake.
    there would be too much influence on the dev team from playing games for the last 15+ yrs.
    example would be diablo 3 not being what diablo 2 players wanted.
    Lastly there would be a tonne of dlc, season pass, etc
    franchise should have been sold off long ago to some one that had passion to remake it or continue the story out of love & not for pure profit !

11. Amy Hennig & Crystal Dynamics should remake Soul Reaver to fulfill their original vision

12. Looks like you're standing in a game shop. This is the 1st vid I see from DF. Congrats on your collection.

13. Why not Reicast? I've used the RetroArch core and it seems to work fine (though I don't know how well it ran 1.5 years ago).

14. good video

15. i never forgot the look and feel of this game, something in the art directory stroke me hard

16. Man……!!! that music….. it makes me shiver !!! 🙂

17. Redream is a new Dreamcast emulator that's a great option to play Soul Reaver. It has none of the flaws present in NullDC or Demul.

18. You guys are a little bit nostalgia biased. The comparison with zelda is unfair, because of oot's open world like zones that where much more complex to run.
    I remember the hype for this game and playing it and yes it was very impresive for psone, but, and precisely because of that and the hype for the dreamcast version(announced 60 fps, better graphics etc) i buyd it on dc.
    The games was borring and repetitive, spending most of the time pushing those fucking blocks, i read a review and it had a mediocre score agreeing with me "pushing blocks all the time". Stoped playing it, there where clearly better games on dc, honestly soul reaver was completely over rated because of his graphics for a psone in 1999.

    Now i understand why, since it is an half made game. Honestly it doesn't hold up to a shadowman for exemple, i mean soul reaver got old really fast, because i buyd the dc version the year it came out and as i said the game was already severly outclased.

19. lol emulate it with nullDC for perfection!

20. At the time this game marked my life forever.
    The soul reaver series is one of my favorite games, I would love to see it come back.
    Thank you for this really interesting review, even if it is not in my native language (so a little bit of trouble to understand everything)☻.

21. Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, the first one, is at least 100 times better than Soul Reaver.

22. Great video I like the breakdown of the engine which was really fantastic for the system at the time.

    But I would love to see what silicon knights would’ve done with the series, I love the 1st game the most!

23. Id love to see what a modern dev could do with a PS1 what they could create technically with the retro console if i had the skills id love to do that.

24. Wow this is best review of Soul Reaver I ever watched, amazing video, if all your content is this good I'm subscribing. If anyone is interested in playing DC version of Soul Reaver on PC, try Reicast core from RetroArch, I finished game with that core without any issues and looks amazing in high res. And life bar is not buggy like with Demul.

25. Love the emulation segments of these videos. It would be great to see these sections explored with a little more depth.

26. kain looks like thorin oakenshield.

27. 12:22 pervert X coloring?!?!?!

28. Amazing video 😴

29. Gods know I love, LOVE to see new or re-mastered content of the Legacy of Kain series. I love it so much, my favorite computer game, it's still Number one!

30. Amy needs her own studio that'll hopefully turn into a publisher

31. Man Soul Reaver was the ish

32. Would love to see Squeenix/Crystal Dynamics remaster legacy of Kain collection including all games to blood omen 2 and Defiance.

33. I bought a vita tv only to play these game . It was worth it
    By the way the vita TV set cost me the same price as a modern video game

34. i honestly really disliked these games when i was a kid due to very poor graphics which my young eye already was able to see and find boring, and i dont mean this series i mean all low graphics low rez old tech games, games were just so boring back then lol

35. Does the Dreamcast port include dynamic music like PS1 or does it suffer the same issue like the PC port?

36. this is my fav gaming channel 😀 I love all the technical details

37. Sweet underage babe (from a time when people still knew to appreciate it) 14:54

38. digital foundry I have seen your future and: you become developer and publisher of games… "I see your future and im in it "

39. The first game was Zelda for adults the second game was just brilliant loved it i hope a rebirth comes soon imagine what it could be with unreal engine…😈

40. I not know which Games you played on Playstation, but my PS Games mostly had CD-Audio..

41. Do a DF Retro on Gt2. You won't regret it..
