New TLW update, including a new Dark Prophecy section, Beta analysis and more!

The Lost Worlds got a new update! It includes Divine Shadow´s awesome analysis of the Dark Prophecy, this time you can read about Ariel and the Seer. Umah Bloodomen, the moderator from Eidos LoK forums, also provided scans of the early Soul Reaver manual which is distinct in several areas (it mentions Lake of Lost Souls instead of the Lake of the Dead, it mentions 12 bosses, and also mentions Kain´s Mountain Retreat). You can also read my in-depth Soul Reaver Beta Comparison if you are interested in deleted stuff from SR.

New LOK WIKI section finished, poll closed and Lost Chronicle update

The Blood Omen 2 section has been finished on LOK wiki thanks to tremendous efforts of Bazielim and everybody else who participated.  The site is available for all readers or editors to join in and help with the site. If you are registered on Eidos LOK forums or Nosgothic Realm, stop by and say thanks!

The first poll on the Ancient´s Den is closed now, thanks to everybody who voted!
The question was:

What do you think about the new Soul Reaver reboot rumour?

33 people voted as follows:

54% (18) is very excited
18% (6)  will play it but think it might ruin the series
12% (4) think they need to end the original story first
15% (5) think the rumour is fake

Seems that the excitment over a new release of LOK game is dominant but ever since the rumour appeared, there have been no news regarding it. I personally think it might only be a fake rumour. This month, I started a new poll question: Have you bought Soul Reaver on GoG yet?

I also updated Lost Chronicle with new info - check the new Characters section on the main page. I covered the backstory of Kain and Raziel during Blood Omen and Soul Reaver, I hope you will enjoy reading it. I also wrote a location for every health upgrade and eldritch energy upgrade pieces in the Soul Reaver game section.

Soul Reaver on GOG!

Today, Soul Reaver was added to the library of games on Good Old Games. Even though the PlayStation  version was released on PSP, there was no downloadable Legacy of Kain present for PC. Until now!

Unlike the box version of Soul Reaver, the digital version on GOG is DRM-free (no disc needed) and also made system-friendly for Windows Vista & Win 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are supported). What are you waiting for? Go grab your copy of Soul Reaver here!

How to run Fable TLC under Vista and Windows 7

I have tried to find a solution on how to run Fable on windows because I could not make it to run. I have noticed lots of people have trouble running this game on Vista and Win 7 because the game was made for Windows XP only. As many others, I have tried setting compatibility mode to XP, run as admin, nothing helped. After installing the game, clicking on the desktop icon of Fable started the process (visible in Task Manager), but didn´t actually run the game. I have found out that this issue on modern systems could be caused by DEP (Data execution prevention). In Windows Vista and 7, DEP stops some programs from running properly. To fix this issue, go into Computer, System Properties, Advanced System Settings, click on tab Advanced and then choose Settings. The third tab in the window will be Data Execution Prevention and select: "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select". Click add and browse for Fable.exe or its shortcut. Once its added, click Apply and Ok. Now you should be able to run Fable with no problems. This also applies to many other programs which might be crashing on your new system.

Soul Reaver reboot/remake rumours

Once again, there is a rumour spreading across the internet that a new Soul Reaver game is being developed by Crystal Dynamics for XBLA. Vg247 informed about this that their mysterious souce told them about the reboot. Can we really expect for the series to be remade with better graphics or totally re-imagined? In this era of constant reboots of several franchises, it might not be that far from truth. However, Crystal Dynamics did say just a few months ago that they are not working on anything LOK related and that they are working on 2 new IPs. Personally, I wouldn´t mind a graphical update but a complete reboot might ruin the already established story. This article on CVG provides several reasons why Soul Reaver deserves a remake.
