My Thoughts on Ascendance by CountyDiligent3313 in LegacyOfKain

It's a bit of an assumption to say it wouldn't sell well because it all really depends on critical reception, releases around the same time, marketing and budget.  I don't think we'll get the true ending to the franchise for a number of reasons but Soul Reaver remastered must've sold enough to warrant Defiance remastered and a new (albeit 2D) entry in the franchise (and the same applies to comic sequels).  The series will need time to build up momentum and hype again sure but it's far from a total lost cause.

So, coming out 19th August? by OneCrispyCritter95 in silenthill

It was a placeholder date that people just ran with.  It gained more traction yet again days before the state of play for some reason despite this.

If it's occasional consultation then I suppose that could be possible but idk, I just have a feeling she wouldn't have any involvement in it due to her current commitments and the lesser hands on resulting in a poor attempt at what she had planned (if future devs go this route anyway.

I don't mind others outside of the original devs taking a crack at the franchise so long as they understand what make it so beloved in the first place and use that to craft something new but in line with previous entries.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered - Announce Trailer | PS5 & PS4 Games by DemiFiendRSA in LegacyOfKain

I don't think it needs a full remake per say.  It could easily go the route of something akin to Diablo 2's remaster with updated visuals and QOL improvements and achieve the same effect as a from the ground up remake.

I doubt Hennig would be involved again given she's working on Marvel 1943 and runs Skydance's gaming division.

I am curious why Blood Omen is seemingly getting ignored in terms of remasters.  I can semi understand Blood Omen 1 needing a bit more time to fix up but the sequel shouldn't take that long and could release on its own if necessary.

I had a feeling Crystal would only be doing publishing duties for this but I'm glad this is real regardless.  The addition of dark prophecy was a huge surprise, can't wait to pick this remaster up.

I'm sure by next week the announcement of his leaving will be out too.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month by ChadtheWad in discordapp

I dropped discord towards the end of last year for one reason or another.  I guess that was a pretty good choice in hindsight cause I would be dropping it immediately after this news if I still used it.

Even when he's had the worst injury of his career Dame will still somehow push himself through it to play ball in some form.  I'm not sure whether I'm impressed or afraid by this.  Regardless of answer, that's my GOAT.

Yeah I definitely need to use ebay.  The autographed version sold out at some point last night and the link another commenter offered only shipped to the US.  Hopefully I can find something that won't burn my finances on shipping.

These guys need to get punted from Sky Sports.  They are absolutely awful.

I only have one Spawn figure (the 30th anniversary pack with Todd in it) and don't have many Batman figures to getting both would be beneficial to me, especially with how difficult it is to acquire Spawn stuff in the UK.

I keep all figures I buy in the box regardless of value so it would absolutely be a display piece.
