| Scoobes said: I second everyone calling for a reboot. They've rebooted Tomb Raider twice now. Soul Reaver totally deserves one too, especially with how tech has moved on since the original games. |
There's a big difference between a series like Tomb Raider and Soul Reaver / LoK. Each TR game is a discrete thing. a series reboot in this context is really just refreshing the character. With LoK it's a single story told across a number of games, which gives very little room to move with a reboot. If a reboot picked up with Kain where Defiance left off then there is a high risk that the story (which is what we all really love) may be a lot less than the story we got in the original series (think Star Wars OT vs Star Wars NT). If they do a reboot by making a game that happens some time before Soul Reaver (Sould Reaver --> Defiance doesn't really leave much room for a decent story) then it'll be playing around with rather trivial matters and again the story is likely to be not so compelling. So that really just leaves re-makes of the original games. Other than for the trophies I don't really see much reason to re-make these games.
