New Hope for a new LoK!? [Archive]

they probably don't want to make people angry by saying no
For various other games, or even books or movies, the creators had no problem to say if a story was definitely over.

Besides, I agree that, just after Defiance was released, CD would not have been at ease if they had had to say to the fan that it was the end.

However, it has been more than 3 years now, and even some of the die-hard fans have finally lost hope. So I can't see why CD wouldn't want to "make people angry" now. I can't see why CD would still make the uncertainty continue.

If the series is over, then it is just the truth, it wouldn't harm CD or Eidos in any way, and the fans would only hear what they had guessed long before. On the contrary, the people at CD pay attention to what we, the fans, think, they read the boards, they know how we're still waiting for something, whether good or bad, anything, and I'm sure they wouldn't want to keep us in the dark any longer, if there was nothing to come.

Besides, if they had it in the development they would've probably be glad to say so.
Of course, but you know that until Eidos decides it is the time for an announcement, then no one can really talk. And it's like that for everything. Even Peter Jackson denied he was working on Lord of the Rings at the beginning...

There's a kind of "non-disclosure agreement", and projects that are still projects have to remain secret for a while.

It's not the time to announce a new LoK yet, TRA and TR8 are the lead projects for now.

So if one of the developers knows something, but can't tell it, it's probably a case of "non-disclosure agreement" (because as I said, if there was no new game planned, then it would be of no use to hide it any longer, after waiting 3 years), which would mean...:p

Sounds like a "yes" to me. One thing, though - without Amy, do you think the same team will be able to work on it? After all, when they gave the LOK games over to another team, we got BO2, which wasn't bad, but not great (the only thing I seriously objected to was the dialogue:rolleyes: )

Though of course I'm hoping for a new LOK game, I worry that it might not be as good as most of the others...

Hey Paradox, can you remind me if that director or whoever said specifically that he knew whether there'd be another LOK, but couldn't tell? Or did he just say that he couldn't tell?

Because if he did know the answer, it means that there's a definite "yes", or (less likely) a definite "no". But if he didn't, it means that Eidos could still be making up its mind.

And unfortunately, I can't remember what the article said.:rolleyes:

It's posted also on NR's forum as well, so I took the liberty of transcribing the text in question.

If any of you put some time into Tomb Raider: Legend, you would have noticed that more than a few of the unlockables were based on some of Crystal Dynamics’ other great titles, the Legacy of Kain series. When we got a chance to talk to the developers, we couldn’t help but ask whether or not there would be another Legacy of Kain featuring our favorite vampire/soul reaver friends in the near future. “I do actually know the answer, but I can’t tell you,” came the mischievous reply. While you can’t drawn any real conclusions from the statement, it sounds suspiciously like a “yes” to us.

Sounds like someone's doing some sneaky PR work to me:p And yes, it's sounds much like a yes due to the fact, as others have stated, there's not much reason to hide a no by now. Great press for them, though, don't you think? It raises interests for each series, for those who know these series and those who may not. The mysteriousness of the answer and the accolade by the magazine for LoK being asked for info on it in the same article as talking about the great Tomb Raider series... My goodness, the LoK series must be damn good, right? That's what people might get from it;) PR work, baby. Rock on.

Regarding the "yes" or "no" conundrum at the beginning of this thread:

The reason why people wouldn't say "yes" or "no" is because they simply don't know, ya' know? :p Why say anything if you simply don't know or aren't sure? :scratch: Still I hope there will be another LOK installment someday. Would be cool to see what they do with it. ;)

I ran into Moebius last week and he said that there will be a new LoK game, it will be a launch title for PS4 and X-Box 3 in 2011.

Seriously though, I think it is about time we come to reality and know that Eidos would rather make countless Tomb Raider sequels than worry about another game on Nosgoth. Which is why I think we should get a game where Lara is exploring a cave in Germany and ends up stepping into Nosgoth.:lmao:

If they seriously make another game and do confirm it....they can have my 100$ for a special edition with all high res cutscenes from the entire series...a nice gothic style booklet with extra stuff and so on along with a new LOK game. :)

02-11-2007, 06:45 AM

I really wouldn't get your hopes up too much. they could just as easily have meant "there isn't another in the works but we can't tell you the series is over in case we make another one day".

I don't wanna go all judge dredd on everyone, but i think talking like the man said "we're making another but it's top secret..... oops" is a little much. especially when ppl are already asking for the impossible with special editions and the likes for a series that would be lucky to see ANYTHING new

One thing that raises my hopes up is that the official LoK site has been down for almost a year, which IMO means that eidos will get it back up for a new game, otherwise why upgrade a site for a game series that has already ended?? :rolleyes:

why leave a website up for a series that has ended..... if lok.com is gone then that just tells me eidos aren't willing to even spend the money to keep the site open

and not all die-hard LOK fans have given up (me for one ^.0...bad example ^.^)

Chris said when defiance was released that they had another game planned. Tho it wasn't said to be in development or anything.

tho i wouldn't be suprised IF there was another game that any attempt to restore the pillars had been totally abandoned. 4 sequels later and they're still in ruin. This is a little beyond the joke now

He said he does know the answer, so it is not very likely that it means what you say IMHO. (I'm not saying it means "yes", but I think that it is a little more likely to mean "yes" then "no".)

Omega

02-23-2007, 06:24 AM

I have a fantastic idea on how to find out.

We sue Eidos for "emotional distress/damage", that no conclusion to the LoK storyline has impacted our lives in such a way, that we can't function and live our lives.

It'll probably be divulged in Court that there really is another LoK game in the works, thereby dropping the case and letting them carry on.

Easy!

honestly, this isn't anything we haven't already heard 3 years ago shortly after Defiance was released. It's slightly reassuring to know that the press and the team haven't forgotten about the series, but it would be nice if the team took a different approach to its fanbase by telling us something more than "maybe". :rolleyes:

The company as a whole definitely do, however those who are directly involved with making the game would see us differently. They like to feel that what they create is appreciated and having a following is one of the best types of flattery we could give.

The Reaver Blade

02-27-2007, 11:29 AM

The guys who worked on defiance are getting a fair whack of money with Tomb Raider so at least budget might not be as much of an issue as it was with the other LOK games if they really did make another one.

On another note i was just thinking the other day, if they make a concluding LOK game and you complete it thus completing the series, imagine how wierd it would feel after all these years trying to crack the story.:confused:

GawdDawgs

02-27-2007, 07:30 PM

I thought about that too after reading Blincs updated site. It really looks like the team wanted to wrap up the story with Defiance and if they did, would the series continue? (assuming it's still going to). And if so, how?

Say the game made tons of money (miracles do happen sometimes, lol) and they finished the story. Profit would tell Eidos to keep making more, so what would they do? Spin off with janos maybe? Further Kain adventures with a new story? Raziel meets the Matrix with Spawn like powers INSIDE the reaver which happens to resemble modern day New York? (good lord that would be the worst freaking thing EVER).

Just a thought.

The words from the article kind of gave me new hope, but now after TR Anniversary there will be Legend 2.....and this puts my hope down again

Cryonaut

I've never thought about that. It's been a bout five years since I started playing LoK games and it's been about two since Defiance. I'm thinking i'm going to have a real empty feeling inside after beating the last game (if there is one) after waiting so long to finish the series.

Really? Geez, Eidos are really milking TR. Pretty soon they are gonna find themselves with an audience who has just had enough...

fneh

Really? Geez, Eidos are really milking TR. Pretty soon they are gonna find themselves with an audience who has just had enough...

I think it's a good decision on their part actually. Legend gave TR a good name after the previous offerings and anniversary is getting a lot of positive attention as a reult of the job they did on legend. Anniversary is going to be huge and it's only a good thing for eidos to have another on the way after it

CD reinvented TR with legend after it was going down the toilet from AOD (and a few before that). I think it's a good thing eidos are pouring their money into what has returned to being a very strong series.

we all know CD do a good enough job to keep the customer coming back.

GawdDawgs

03-20-2007, 09:26 PM

TR Legend was a very good game, and I'm lookin forward to TR Anniversary, especially since I never played the original TR, and when I tried, it was way too dated (such bad controls by today's standards).

So it's good and it's bad. It's good because, well, if you like TR, you'll be getting some good games in the near future. But for us LoK fans, of which I am bigger of (TR Legend was my first TR game) we probably won't be seeing another game due to TR taking priority.

But you never know I guess. Maybe they really are working on something, and just decided to take more time on it. One can only hope.

Aranor

03-25-2007, 12:50 PM

Let us say they finish the story, saving nosgoth and all is well. What about opening an MMORPG to let the fans tell how the rest of the story is going to unfold? There are plenty of character species to keep people interested. Of course the option of playing as Kain or Raziel would be removed but could be interesting.

ammon

03-26-2007, 12:46 PM

*falls through invisabile wall*
okay, this talk of Defiance being the last one is rubbish! if D was suppose to be the end why did they leave some questions from the previos games unaswered? (namely a certain Vorador's resurrection o.O)

and as for TR - i'm sorry i just can't like the games (i have played TR2 and the newer ones might be good but what really puts me off the series is that every action game that comes out is ALWAYS compared to TR and i'm just sick of it! Lara Croft is just a rip-off of Indianna Jones (movies) but the magazines don't go on about that all the time - and another thing is; you'll always get some idiot asking about the Lara Nude Cheat when the mags have already told people that it doesn't exist!)
okay, rant over :D :p

i honestly don't care what i'm seen as (profit-mug or fan) so long as the series continues, i'd be happy to shell-out wads of cash for LOK :D

:confused: MMorppppg-whatever, is that like Final Fantasy Online? if it is i think it's a bad idea and a selfish one if it's done (not everyone has a credit card, can aford to play on it 24/7 and what's the story going to be???
it's a nice idea so long as it stays in the head because if you really think on it LOK (i'm sorry to say) just doesn't have the script for something Online - like for instance Warhammer and Warcraft which (as far as i'm aware) has a 'loose plot' (go round, band up, defeat stuff and make war on something or other (and doesn't have a timeline so it's limitless)^.0)
but if anyone here thinks there's a good reason to put LOK Online then please tell me, i would love to know how it'd be done
*hug*

Turaziel

NO MMORPG!!!

The Legacy of Kain games aren't about us creating a whole other life and living it through.... they are about telling a story which has only one main character, several supporting and lots of faceless NPC's who provide you with food.
Should the next game be an MMORPG I wouldn't buy it. No matter how much of a fan I am, how much I *didn't* cry when Raziel was gone, I wouldn't buy it. It would ruin the entire forumla of the game.
I played FFXI once on my friends 360. He thought it was cool because he's a Warcraft nerd, but I had played almost every FF game before and 11 was an absolute travesty. Why do you think Square went back to the original design for 12?

Omega

03-27-2007, 04:33 AM

To be fair, the plans was leaked many years ago that there'd X and XII would be single player games, and XI would be an online thing.

I think if done properly, and LoK MMORPG might actually be an interesting thing.

I talked about my ideas for one either in this thread, or another thread somewhere.

WARPIG

03-28-2007, 10:55 AM

Hey guys, I'm new here.

Just though I'd give my 2 cents. LoK has always been about the storyline and the characters, not to mention the the privilage of playing as either Kain or Raziel(2 of the best main characters in video game history). So I don't think the MMO thing would do the series justice in those areas. And I'm confident that the die-hard fans are in it for the story and characters, so it'd be pointless to shift the focus to other aspects of the games, unless you are looking to create a new fanbase.

I'd like to another game that focuses on Kain and continues where the series left off. Perhaps evolving Kain even further(wings?). I'd also like to see the current combat system kept and improved upon, and alot more depth added to the dark gifts(like they had in BO2). Also, what the heck happened to kains ability to change into a wolf from the first game? I'd love to see that return.

shlmysfb

03-29-2007, 09:37 AM

Welcome, WARPIG. I think that this is the plan - CD has said they're only going forward with the storyline, so clearly they will do what you said, and continue with Kain. And I agree with the combat system being kept and improved upon - I don't know about other people, but I loved Defiance combat!

As for Kain evolving, I think it would be neat for him to start looking more blue-skinned, but as for wings... well, it would be a little too easy if he could fly. I'm more interesting in seeing changes in his personality now that he's purified - we kind of see his compassionate side at the end of Defiance, I notice, and that was even before he was purified. It would be neat to explore that further.

Anoobish

03-29-2007, 10:26 AM

I wouldn't mind if he'd grow wings; maybe sometime before the final levels, except he wouldn't be able to fly (or maybe he would, if it's another game where you have to back-track again), but he'd be able to do these KILLER combat-moves that beat the EXCREMENT out of God of War!

I realy can't stand it anymore......
I don't even know whether there is a point in writing this, couse I don't know whether Eidos or Crystal Dynamics will read this...and even if they do...that it will change something
I'm living in the world of Nosgoth for so many years, I live there through the games, I live there with my heart and my soul....every day!Legacy of Kain is so much more than a game....behind the textures, the pixels there are emotions!, there is a meaning!
LoK is part of my life...it is part of me
Every day I open the forum armed with the "terrible illusion....hope" to see the next LoK game announced, but the only thing that remains is a "bitter taste"...
The only thing I can do is writing letters.I'm about to write my second letter with suggestions for the next LoK ( It's my third of all I sent )
I just want one more game...a worthy sequel to the LoK series
sorry but I needed to say this :(

the dark one

03-29-2007, 01:46 PM

Paradoxical Life, We all do, we all feel your pain and good for you if you really have sent all those letters. I don't think it would be as painful if they would just say get over it you losers we are never going to make a game.

For me it's just the pain of not knowing and I have said this in the past edios may only see dollars when they think of making a game but this series to me is so much more than just some game!

Yeat Like I have said earlier in this thread I am in some ways relieved that the game (if there ever is one) has not come out since it would be on the way too high priced PS3 so I can wait for the game since it means I am also just wait until I can afford the PS3:) Heck the only reason like many maybe that I even bought my PS2 was for Soul reaver 2:)

But Yes knowing one way or another is sure going to feel good in some ways just to know the truth about the future of the Greatest game series ever!!!!!!!

Oh as A side note I like how eidos or CD said that they would never make a remake of older games like Blood Omen (which I still have never attempted to finish) Yet is this not what they are doing with the next TR?

I want Amy back

Omega

04-11-2007, 02:08 AM

Normally, I'd disagree with you.

Because apparently (I think blinc said it somewhere), Amy had a chat with three people (who had also worked on the games) about the direction of the LoK series, and with suggestions on what to do etc.

Last time I checked, two of those three people left Crystal Dynamics :(

So yeah, bring back Amy; just this once ;)

ammon

04-11-2007, 11:29 AM

*gives Paradox Life plushie Raziel and cup of hot chocolate* there there...

it would be great if Amy came back, i know they tried new people for BO2 and it was a worthy effort but the stories of the other games was better
wasn't there a financial problum with Amy??? wasn't that why she left :confused:
but it would be nice to have her back for one LAST stab :D

.....i'm still having a problum seeing LOK as an MORG-THINGY!! even done right - to be honest we can't all be raz, kain, vor, janos, lieutenants, the seer , umah etc
so what would we play? (this is ficonal people! :) an LOK morg is not likely to happen, EVER) and what would the story be to contain so many people who will be coming and going?
i still can't see it....

*curious* who else left CD???

Omega

04-11-2007, 12:22 PM

IIRC, Amy left because she wanted to try something new.

After all, she'd been spending almost ten years on not just the LoK games, and that's one hell of a long time to spend in the same job. She stills works for Naughty Dog, who make the Jak games.

Now, most of this post is from memory - so I'm hoping somebody will correct me if I'm wrong - but one of the people she talked to about the series was a lady named Jen (Fernández?).

She left Crystal Dynamics, and might have left the video game industry altogether.

Then the other two names who sound familiar (as I'm looking through the credits for Defiance) are Jason Bell, and Dan Chao.

Whoever Amy spoke to and later left, one of them stayed in the video game industry, and I'm not too sure about the other.

Edit
blinc was awful kind to correct me.

The three people who Amy talked to were Jen Fernádez, Richard Lemarchand, and Kyle Mannerberg (link (http://www.thelostworlds.net/Defiance/Question_and_Answer_with_Jen,_Richard,_and_Kyle.ht ml)).

Did Amy Hennig really leave Crystal Dynamics?
Yes, Amy left Crystal shortly before Defiance shipped for the PS2 and Xbox in order to take a job as a game director at Naughty Dog (the developer of the Jak series). She worked extensively on Jak 3. Later in 2004, Richard Lemarchand and Jen Fernández also left the company. Richard works at Naughty Dog now, and Jen has moved on to non-gaming-related work.

http://www.thelostworlds.net/FAQ/index.html#LOK6

Yes, I know about that, that's why I thought it was interesting to report that she is still doing little things at CD...

She is an additional support artist for Tomb Raider Anniversary, I have the game manual in my hands and she's in the credits. Before that, she also got a special thank in Tomb Raider Legend, so I guess she "unofficially" helped a bit at first, and then she was integrated in the official TRA dev team.

Anyway, even though she doesn't seem to have as important jobs as for Defiance, she's definitely still with CD... [optimistic mode on]Maybe she knows something and stays around until it happens :rolleyes:

Ow, just noticed Richard Lemarchand also got a special thank in TRL, so I guess he did not completely sever his ties with Crystal either...

Oh, right. I just got that from tlw. I didn't know they'd moved so maybe it's out of date. Note to self: Read more carefully.

Yes, I know about that, that's why I thought it was interesting to report that she is still doing little things at CD...

She is an additional support artist for Tomb Raider Anniversary, I have the game manual in my hands and she's in the credits. Before that, she also got a special thank in Tomb Raider Legend, so I guess she "unofficially" helped a bit at first, and then she was integrated in the official TRA dev team.

Anyway, even though she doesn't seem to have as important jobs as for Defiance, she's definitely still with CD... [optimistic mode on]Maybe she knows something and stays around until it happens :rolleyes:

Ow, just noticed Richard Lemarchand also got a special thank in TRL, so I guess he did not completely sever his ties with Crystal either...

That's what I'm hoping...Dunno if it's that farfetched or not.To have Amy work in some way in a sequel.Maybe only working on the story.

PS:Are you by any chance a Panzer Dragoon fan?

Jennifer Fernández and Kyle Mannerberg are still with CD and have both worked on Tomb Raider Anniversary, but I remember Richard Lemarchand left soon after Amy.

Jen is a support artist on TRA, and Kyle is one of the lead designers of this game.

Really? Cool :) I tried to compare the credits between LoK and Legend once and there was very little overlap of LoK people working on Legend (unless I missed a lot of people). If my perception is correct that several good LoK people worked on TRA and TRA is great, then I'm relieved that the LoK people didn't lose their touch :) (I haven't played TRA yet since it hasn't come out here, but everything I've seen and heard so far convinces me that I'll like it a hell of a lot :D)

After my frustation w/ the gameplay on Defiance, if Amy ever comes back, I'd like to see Amy only writing - and writing is the most important thing in the series.

The smart ppl that made TR Legend and Anniversary can create a very good gameplay anyway. :)

- Thats great stuff, let us know if you get a reply ;).
- Unfortunately I never did, and as I have moved house since, I'll probably never know even if I did.

I want new LoK :( I want to have good memories from my childhood, I want to remember that there was an awesome game with finished storyline, not unfinished just because of financial reasons :(

Trying to break CD on mercy :D

Honestly, I don't actually know what is the reason of CD's inability to write a simple note on Forums: "Yes, there will be new LoK one day, but for now be patient" or "No, there won't be new LoK so we're closing this forum, bye bye" :P

:(
