What Happened to Soul Reaver?

The Soul Reaver series was one of the most ambitious games on the original PlayStation. It had a lot going on for it in terms of gameplay. There was also a sequel on the PS2 but the series has been silent ever since. It had a very promising start. What went wrong?

I honestly don't know. It was recently confirmed at E3 that Square-Enix will be publishing a multiplayer game that will use the same mythology as the Legacy of Kain series. The game is titled Nosgoth but was originally titled Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun. The single player and story based aspects of the game were cancelled back in 2012 after Square-Enix decided that the game would not meet sales expectations.

Hmm, yes I think the game didn't have a huge following right at the onset. The mechanics were great but I think the game world was not that interesting. I liked the abilities of Raziel. But I found the environment to be boring. It didn't call out to me to visit it. Maybe if the developers could make the environments lush and full of life and not dull and boring, I think it could be a hit.
