Nosgoth

When I first heard that a brand new  Legacy of Kain game was cancelled, I curled up into a foetal ball and cried. Then I heard that it was being resurrected as an online multiplayer game.,  became a despondent sod, and gave up on the world. There’s now gameplay footage, and my sadness has turned to hate.

It’s a free-to-play online multiplayer shooter, and developer Psyonix has posted a full gameplay video showing off its Legacy of Kain multiplayer title. It’s all about a city under siege, and gives you plenty of info on the game, its classes and I can;t even pretend to be excited or enthusiastic about this.

It looks very much like a free-to-play Gears of War-esque shooter, with class abilities much like Team fortress and a heavy focus on RPG-lite style levelling up. There’s nothing at all wrong with borrowing elements from other games, but dammit, this is not the Legacy of Kain game anybody wanted. I suppose, divorcing my own opinion from it all, it doesn’t look too bad.  I have to say though that I still have no interest in this whatsoever.

Nosgoth is currently in alpha, and offers just a basic 4v4 team-deathmatch at the moment. Those who’ve been playing the alpha say it’s actually a decent game. Playing as Humans feels like you’re playing  shooter, but playing as a Vampire makes the whole game feel like a hack-and-slash RPG.

Here’s an hour long video of it, if you have that sort of time.

      What you said. When I read: “It’s a free-to-play online multiplayer shooter…” I had to double check that this was, in fact, a Legacy of Kain game they were referring to. I guess I missed the part in Legacy of Kain, and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver where Kain and Raziel went: “Eat hot lead, mother-bitches!!!!!”

        “It’s all about jumping ion the bandwagon.”

        Did you mean jumping on the bandwagon or jumping the ION in the bandwagon… And if it is the latter, then it would suck for you if there was another Darryn ION today O_o
