This is likely for one of 3 reasons ġ: A measure to save space/bandwidth (it was very common about 10yrs ago to repackage games with all the audio files compressed, cutscenes and extra languages removed and multiplayer content removed in order to dramatically reduce the file size for download),Ģ: The cutscenes are incompatible with modern PCs and cause the game to crash unless they are deleted,ģ: An old repackaged version with the cutscenes cut was used as the base version to build a working copy for new PCs. In regards to the lack of cutscenes judging by the file size of the download compared to the size of the game disc (which is upwards of 400mb depending on region) the video files for the cutscenes have been removed from this version. I’d love to see a remaster or a remake of this title, and now the franchise belongs to Square Enix. Compared to more modern titles with the same mechanics or even some from the same year, the controls can be a little clunky which makes it a little harder than it probably should be. However, it could be argued that this game didn’t age so well. The current equipment is reflected in the HUD, and Kain always has something to say about the items or the location - in fact, he always has something to say and it is delightful written and Simon Templeman’s acting helps to deliver the experience so things never get dull. Originally made for the Playstation, the PC port was stable and efficient and the graphics were nice for the time. Its dark, mature atmosphere and intricate plot were the major draws of this game. When this game was released I remember a reviewer calling it “Legend of Zelda from Hell”, but in a good sense.
