Oh wow I own these on Steam but the input issues were a pain. Absolutely amazing to see this fixed and more so will give these another spin soon.

Oh holy shit, that's dope. Playing Blood Omen 2 especially was an absolutely nightmare and I ended up switching over to the Original Xbox version because the PC version was so hard tu run properly. I managed a bit better with Soul Reaver 2, but there was still a lot of work involved. This is awesome!

I remember trying SR2 once, and it was running at Looney Tunes speed at higher frame rates, so this is great news.

Did they fix the bug in SR2 where if you scared away some crows before entering a Shrine you would get locked in?

Nice, I know what I'm doing with my Rog Ally this week. Anything about Defiance (the first Soul Reaver, I use the emulated Dreamcast version)?

When I played it Soul Reaver 2 on PC consistently crashed every 1-2 hours, which was a pretty big issue when the game has long unskippable cutscenes and spaced out save points; if this fixes that it's a pretty big deal.

Mega I guess? Haha I am bad with computer.
Mega sounds like a good idea, don't worry haha :)

Good question. I only played a little bit of the beginning. After you leave the sanctuary and have talked with Moebius.

Unfortunately nothing on defiance yet. But I was curious too. I hope Gemini is doing there something too.
