Soul Reaver - The Lighthouse Demo

The demo from very early stage of the game. Raziel´s model is very different (posture, colour, textures), he can move while attacking unlike in later versions, sucking soul animation takes longer. The vampires present are the prototypes for Melchahim.

I remember this! I never knew what this game was called before. My God. This is weird. First I rediscover Metal Gear Solid, now this. Interesting. I never did find out what the light and enemy in the demo were....

@vgman94 - hehe, yeah. I used to play those demos all the time :D the enemy is an early version of Melchahim and those light streaks (if you meant that)are still preserved in the final game (though much more toned down)

[vgman94]

@RainaAudron Melchahim? What's that? What do those light streaks do in the game? Are they hints or power-ups or something? Yeah. I played a demo with MediEvil, Metal Gear Solid and the first Spyro game. I played Spyro before I had the demo, but the other two I didn't know of. Glad I got into them. Metal Gear rocks. Sad that MediEvil and Legacy of Kain didn't get long-lasting futures, though. :(

@vgman94 - Melchahim are the vampires created by Melchiah and the light streaks indicate swinging the claws or weapons (in the final game they toned it a lot down, using only blue colour). I´ve played Spyro demo a lot too! Those were the classic days of PS1. Crash, Spyro, MGS, LOK, etc. Yeah, totally, Medievil is a fun game as well, played both ME1&2.

This demo is what introduced me to Legacy of Kain, way back in 1999. Thank you SO much for uploading it.

I don't remember it being so horribly glitched out, though :P

I remember I have this demo in the disc volume 8 of demos of playstation

[vgman94]

@RainaAudron I see. I actually didn't like the Spyro demo. But then again, I wasn't actually a big fan of the PS1 Spyro games. Loved Crash though. I was a fan of Crash throughout all his games from PS1 to Mind Over Mutant. Sad no new games have come out. I only tried ME1. ME2 seemed a bit off to me. MGS was awesome and has stayed awesome through the years. I can't wait for Rising.

played this demo found in akuji the heartless back in 1999

Raziel's textures and motions look so much better in this demo.

I found this demo on The Unholy War's disc from wayyy back in the day. I must have only been 5 or 6 years old at the time of my first play and it used to creep me out! Still does in some ways!

[krazy4knives]

which was the demo disc w/ medievil, spyro the dragon, soul reaver(this lighthouse demo), and ninja shadow of darkness?

[RainaAudron]

@krazy4knives - yes
