The LoK community as a whole gets excited about it, I guess I may be one of the only ones that doesn't want to see another LoK game made.
Why?!
Well because I have Zero confidence in Square Enix/Eidos and Crystal Dynamics.
For starters I'm against "reboots" they are basically saying "Forget about that crap before we don't like it so we are going to start over"
It lessens what once was. Furthermore, there is hardly anyone left at CD that even worked on the other games. I know at least one of the head devs died, a few quit including the one person that has been involved in all the series even blood omen the most vital part.. the script writer Amy Henning isn't even there.
Added to this Tony Jay one of the main voice actors of the series.. he did Mortanius in Blood Omen and Elder God in Soul Reaver as well as several other characters where his voice was altered. He is now dead as well. So yet another staple of the series is not there and you can't there is no one that could do him justice.
You know damn well they will cater to getting new fans and not pleasing us old fans, which means likely more focus on the gameplay and less focus on what LoK was about Storyline.
Its bad enough they tried to cater to the casuals in Defiance, so we ended up with a DMC clone (that was quite boring and repetative gameplay wise) with all the storyline shoved to the end of the game instead of paced out in between in a well done manner like SR2.
I for one hope we NEVER see another LoK game. CD will just ruin the namesake that is LoK.
