whatsnottaken: I didn't know Activision had any hand in the original, or is that the problem?
I thought it was Crystal Dynamics and Eidos, unless one or both were absorbed by them, I don't really pay much attention to big name devs/publishers anymore.
Either way, I think even a remake would be cool at this point since it kinda sucks that the series has such a great story and voice acting. Plus that top-down dungeon crawling style is still alive and well on PC, and I still hold the original above even the Soul Reaver games personally. I guess we can only hope, there was a time we could never imagine seeing System Shock get any support either.
That's the thing, Eidos was NOT involved with the first Blood Omen game at all; it was published by Activision. Only from Soul Reaver onwards was Eidos the publisher. That's part of the copyright nightmare this game is currently in.
And I personally agree with you: the other games are good (Soul Reaver 1 is fantastic, actually), but Blood Omen will always be my favorite. And if there ever is a remake (which will probably never happen), I would hope they would keep the graphics in 2D (which will DEFINITELY never happen, I know).
