- LEGACY OF KAIN: SOUL
REAVER
These days Amy Hennig is probably best
known for Uncharted, but before that was
Legacy of Kain. Given that most games in the
series end on cliffhangers, it’s hard to single
any of them out for a remake. Soul Reaver (go.
pcworld.com/slrv) remains the most popular
though, and I imagine a
full-fledged remake could
probably work through
the content of both Soul
Reaver and its sequel in a
single game nowadays.
It’s probably not high
on Square’s priority list.
Crystal Dynamics and
Eidos are pretty damn
busy these days, and
Tomb Raider gets the lion
share of attention. Soul
Reaver remains a
cult classic
though, with a
story that seems
sophisticated
even now, let
alone by the
standards of its
day. I’d love to see
a modern take. Or
hell, I’d be happy
with a remaster.
- MAX PAYNE
Listen, I’d rather Remedy keep making weird
games. Let them work on Control (go.
pcworld.com/ctrl) and whatever the hell else
they want to make. Don’t saddle them with a
remake.
That said, Max Payne (go.pcworld.com/
maxp) is an incredible shooter with a surreal
7.
