Well, if any of you are fans of the Legacy of Kain series, Eidos just announced they are making Soul Reaver 3 for all next gen consoles. Today is a happy day!

Eidos confirms Soul Reaver 3 and Italian Job Mugwum [07-Mar-2003]

Despite failing to get Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness out the door, and despite Sports Interactive's insistence on more time for CM4, Eidos chairman John van Kuffeler is apparently extremely pleased with the company's financial earnings so far this year. Blood Omen 2 on the Cube must've been a big hit, then.

What's more, Mr. van Kuffeler has confirmed in his statement that a couple of new titles are due from Crystal Dynamics "over the coming months" (Soul Reaver 3 and 'Spanx') and that a new Italian Job game is in production for PS2, Xbox and Cube. SCi, as you may recall, was responsible for the popular PSX version of Michael Caine's mini adventure, but it sounds like Eidos has wrestled it home.

Van Kuffeler goes on to say that it is pleased with the way the games market is moving this year, with hardware and software sales both expected to rise.

Vampires. There have been 4 legacy of cain games so far:

Blood Omen
Soul Reaver
Soul Rever 2
Blood Omen 2

I'm not sure if that is the exact order they came out in, but they are all fun games and I am excited to hear about a new one.

lemme apoloize it is on PS2 and Xbox...i could have sworn it said Soul Reaver 3 to only PS2 but I am looking at the artical now and it says otherwise...


Eidos is banking on it's two biggest upcoming titles, Championship Manager 4 and Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness to make 2003 another profitable year. The company's financial statement also mentions a number of fairly big-name games that should be coming. Titles include Commandos III and Deus EX II for the PC, Soul Reaver 3 for the Xbox and PS2, as well as Backyard Wrestling for the PS2 and Xbox and The Italian Job for all three next-gen systems. We'll have more on all these game in the coming months.

W00t! I only managed to get my hands on Soul Reaver 2, but it was a PC demo. The graphics were pretty good then, lip syncing and all. I must've played the demo about a hundred times before I got tired of it. I'll defintely look into this. :D

I think this series has had the best voice acting in a video game series through out. Some of the lines maybe cheese, but the acting is great. I just hope they develop SR3 for Xbox FIRST, then port it to the lesser systems. Can't wait... they said they might not do a SR3, and now they've confirmed it!!! Awsome! Beat all the games cept BO2, which I'm in the midst of finalizing. I loved the lipsyncing on SR2, best mouth movements in a video game EVER!!!! BO2 was quite a let down in the graphical department. Lets hope SR3 doesn't follow suite.

yea i agree...the voice acting is superb....one of the best voice acting ever done and a great deep story... legacy of kain and metal gear solid are my 2 top voice acted titles..did ya know david hayter (voice of solid snake) tried out to be the voice of kain but was rejected :p just alittle fact
