I really really want a new Legacy of Kain game, but only if Amy Hennig writes the story.
Amy Hennig is the best writer in the industry. She's gifted with writing beautiful, intensely eloquent dialogue to convey rage, betrayal and pain (Soul Reaver) wonder, exploration, and manipulation (Soul Reaver 2) and loss, regret, submission and hope (Defiance). Her ideas are intelligent, the explanations of vampiric weaknesses, how temporal paradoxes form, and the dual-messiah of Defiance are complexities, conveyed with clarity.
She needs Templeman, Bell, Doyle and Jay (RIP), the best voice actors in the industry, because to have anything less for her words would be a crime.
If she's not on board then it would be regrettable. I'd risk it as long as any replacement writer was talented and proven. Care must be taken though, we don't want another Blood Omen 2 on our hands.

weird, i was just thinking about buying SR off the PSN store. i had it on dreamcast but never finished it [or remember it]. any chance it holds up well today?
Still a very solid game. Though if you can, play the Dreamcast or PC versions for better textures or HD respectively. The PC version on maximum resolution is very nice.

The music that plays when he gets cast into the abyss is amazing.

Ozar Midrashim, by Information Society. I believe he wrote it before the game.
