Hope for what? Even if Nosgoth is a success, then we'd probably get more of this gaudy crap. I'm letting the initial disappointment get the better of me ... yeah maybe it will turn out to be fun.

This is exactly what I dreamt of when longing for a new Legacy of Kain.

If there was something the series had, was beautiful gothic art direction:

Though it's insane this game even exists, I think it looks like it could be fun. Definitely going to sign up for the beta.
I think that might take fans into consideration a bit too much.

Still petty they cancelled the terrific-looking Dead Sun, that would have got me interested in the LoK franchise again.

Was hoping for a next gen LoK game not this.....

Their options were probably this or nothing at all. It's a bummer and I'm not a fan of the art style, but the least bit I could do, as a fan of the franchise, is give their free game a try.
lmfao - they just disabled comments on the youtube link in the past few minutes. Guess they weren't too keen on cherry picking "Yay" from the waves of "ugh, why this!?".
I thought there was also a single player story driven game that was scrapped - in FAVOR of this F2P arena nonsense. It's almost like they had no idea who their fanbase was/is...

Did anyone else find this video embarrassing.
The whole time I was waiting for them to say it was Free 2 Play.
I closed it about 2 minutes in though.
I'm a pretty negative guy in general but man, I can't find anything good about that.
The concept is sound but the art direction is abysmal.
Also Natural Selection 2 is already out and you get a commander.

Lol even my comment needed approval but that was gone also..well we still have the thumbs down button right?
Oh shit they disabled everything my god well the negative will go through the internet.

They've obviously put a hell of a lot of effort, time and meticulous planning into making absolutely sure that they are resurrecting the LoK IP in the most uninteresting and unappealing form possible.

Probably for the best.
In this or most cases, I don't think the developers decide on matters like that.

This doesn't resemble the LoK universe at all. Degenerated into a random ass competitive multiplayer game.
What have they done...

This is gonna bomb hard and really kill the entire franchise with it. There could have been an epic single player Kain game for next gen taking inspiration from Witcher or Dragon Age in terms of sheer scope and detail, but they're chasing the multiplayer train instead.
Why do different when you can focus on a player base that doesn't like to move to far from COD/BF?
The whole video reminds me of that shitty Batman multiplayer game that Monolith shitout a few years back. Same kind of crap gimmicks and level layout.

That's the worst of it. If at least respected the look of the past games, but some of these maps looks like they came from discarded TR multiplayer maps, the art is all over the place.

Developer: "We're really excited to announce our next project is a free-to-play game."
Translation: "Our overall goal is to make sure we're bankrupt by the end of this game's lifecycle."

The developers look like they were forced to make this.
Some developers can make UE 3 shine, and then there's this generic look.

They have a good track record if you check the client page on their website. Shame though that I really don't care about f2p multiplayer killfests. Nothing of that sounds really interesting.
The whole pitch seems a little wonky: A completely casual game design with a hardcore, niche style in art and violence. Absolute oil and water concept.

Anyone else think that visually it looks quite a lot like the (similarly unwanted) MP mode in Tomb Raider?

It seems to be a no win-situation for Legacy of Kain fans.
1: Spend money on it, SE may release more f2p games like this
2: Don't spend money on it, SE may think there are not enough LoK fans.

Signed up for the Beta, looks interesting enough and I will go into it with an open mind. Reminds me of Unreal Championship 2.
Did you actually play it? The game was actually pretty fun and had an interesting take on the TF2 style of play.
I do hate when developers force ADS in games that focus on player movement. Seems counter-intuitive to the design of the game, see: Titanfall.
Granted, the game should have been F2P from the start.
Unfortunately, I can almost guarantee this to be the case. Square Enix in charge of business decisions...

That's because it was the unwanted multiplayer mode in LoK: Dead Sun. Funny how these things happen!
Yeah, knew there was a story driven SP game that was scrapped - would have been so much happier with this than the PoS F2P they are attempting to shovel down our throats with "excited Dev/Management mouthpieces standing over a greenscreen"...
LMAO. Remind me to wash my hands if ever play this thing.
I feel like a Capcom fan now.
Even if it had a single player mode, i really loathe the art style.
It seems, after LoK:SR, they have gotten more and more generic, towards the classic Fantasy look.
This even has a somewhat WoW coat of paint on it.
