I really do hope they at least tweak the controls and camera to be less awkward. Granted, if they do, that would make those games considerably less hard, like how Resident Evil without the godawful tank controls is.


And now back to playing the OST on loop a few times. Man it still slaps hard.

Haven't seen that scarf of Tycho's in 25 years. What a blast from the past.

And his reward? Agony.

Armored Chocobo

Did they at least keep the white poofs and "oof" noises?

So I know that Kain is getting hurt?

Control Improvements: Soul Reaver launched while the D-PAD was the dominant control method. We’ve ensured with DualShock 4 and Dual Sense that analog control feels and plays as great in Soul Reaver as it did in Soul Reaver 2.
Camera Upgrades: We’ve mapped the camera in Soul Reaver to the right stick which allows us to move the camera on the Y-Axis. Of course, there weren’t robust skyboxes in the original because you couldn’t look up. So we made some! Enjoy right stick mapping to see the vibrant skies and platforms above.

It looks really nice too. We'll know December 10th I guess.

Noice.

It's not enough to get me to buy back into the Sony hardware ecosystem (I left for PC primarily after the PS3 era), but I like that they did that much.

Is his scarf the same as a top that Kara used to wear?

Having never played either of the Soul Reaver games, I don't have any nostalgic pull on this one. I'll grab them when they go on a fairly deep sale. (Like probably not until 50-60%).

Fair warning, (if they make no changes to it from the OG release) the combat is far slower/clunkier than something like, say, Devil May Cry. It's part of why I somewhat question the decision for a mere remaster despite appreciating the attempt. Might be a hard sell for those used to modern offerings.
