Soul Reaver 2 Beta - Playthrough part 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 08. 2024
- This is an exploration of the first era in the newly discovered Soul Reaver 2 prototype. This build was made just a few months before the release but still has many different or incomplete cutscenes and features. I had to do several takes sometimes as the game crashes randomly if you play for too long. The only music which is part of the game is Dark Forge and Light Forge. I have added music to the rest of the footage in post-production to improve the watching experience.
Huge thanks to the anonymous contributor and the Hidden Palace.

Moebius T-posing on Raziel to assert dominance
Vorador is also competing for dominance
TIME POSING!
ah! Beta Gameplay, I knew it was finally coming to the channel today! thank you for two hours of watching! keep a good job!
Edit: This is only the first part, and it lasts two hours, the marathon is being prepared like on Netflix
moebius T pose is hilarious
Impressive details, Raziel makes the same sound when he hits, like in SR1 and there's a different focus on the crows. 26:45 30:45 been waiting to see this. Kain kinda looks better and spectral realm is I dunno, weird. In any case, me and my PS2 can't wait for a release. Great job RainaAudron, greetings from one of your first viewers from long ago.
32:20 The irony of the pillars glitching out right after Raziel says "whole and uncorrupted..."
time to get some popcorn and pop this on 4k tv
You are and always will be, my Soul Beta.
Nice
1:18:17 What the f*ck Raziel!?🤣
Moebius has no animation.
Also i love how they still kept the soul reaver s final attack like soul reaver 1
interesting to hear alternate takes to lines I've been hearing for years
I love the autoface swords on the screen. It feels more apropiate for this kind of game when you travel more on the human world.
Also the combat system looks good in his beta phase.
The unfinished animations in custences make me laugh, look that funny faces!
The sky on the spectral realm looks just incredible on Air Forge zone, i wonder why they changed it. I'm sure that type of effects are something that the ps2 can run without problems.
I hope to see some diferences on the Janos Retreat of the past, this is by far my favorite part of the game.
This reminds me when this was released back in the day, i was so damn hyped for play it and i was just a kid who finished the first game and fall in love instantly with the Legacy of Kain saga. Good video.
OMG, it opens up with Moebius asserting dominance. Promising start.
Crash bandicoot The Wrath of Cortex, Guitar Hero 1 and 80s, now Soul Reaver 2, Hidden Palace is fucking awesome!
When the beta literally starts with Raziel getting dunked on by Mobius you know it's gonna be good.
Raziel: shows up
Moebius: 😦
Great stuff Raina. Just something I want to share in case it's useful on the playthrough - R1+R2+movement enables the debug movement, but the glyph menu can be opened in mid air to no clip through walls or doors that trigger out of order. This can also be useful to bypass certain cutscenes that softlock or crash. (Maybe I was a bit too rough in playtest!)
X + Triangle can trigger some cutscenes, as it did in one of the SR1 prototypes.
Of note, the X + Triangle combo can trigger the pillars corruption animation in the first era. In my experience it triggered the effect, but then it simply looped instead of locking at its finale.
Thanks for the suggestions! :) I somehow made it through those bars in Stronghold in the end! Sometimes the select button just completely stopped working so I couldn´t shift :D
@@RainaAudron Yeah, the glyph menu is weirdly specific in this build. I found a couple of extra methods for troublesome doors though.
One is during the door animation, debug movement can simply clip through the barricade. But getting the right angle with the camera can be tricky.
Two is to hold L2+R2+R1, push yourself against the ceiling, and spam L1/R1. This sometimes pushes you through the roof, but is *really* finicky. I had best results setting a turbo of 30% and toggling that when I had to spam.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to showcase this all for us. :)
@@silkworm025 I see you have tested this well :) I still need to play around more but did not want to risk random behaviour when I was recording. No worries, glad that we all got the chance to see and play this!
26:49 Raziel's face had me sold.
Ever since I was a small lad I was always curious about the beta. Who better than my favorite gaming youtuber to show me.
Wow, Kain kind of looks a little better in this version and mode like his Defiance and Soul Reaver cutscene counterparts. He had a bit too much contrast in Soul Reaver 2's final release, but still looked cool enough.
Video from Raina I like it I love it
I'm a day late but I'm finally here. I kinda wish they kept that vampire assassination cutscene but it's true that early game did have a lot of cutscenes and it wasn't important for the main story. I got to admit, the cutscenes were hilarious. Kain phasing into the pillar, Raziel scratching his head with the Reaver, Kain fearing the claw in the chapel, etc. Time for me to watch part 2.
Some parts become colorful in the spectral realm also the T posing is hilarious. Great video raina.
And the light forge soundtrack is a bit different too.
20:19 this is a Sarafan Stronghold, sir
See ya in two hours
Some of the stuff is really interesting, shame that disintegration didn't make it, I really loved it in SR 1, and vampires, albeit short, were nice addition, a small subplot where Raziel kinda helps a group would be so great, like make him think about vampires a bit less as savages, as these were his most recent memories with them, savage vampire beasts. They could also point out like what happened to his wings, and if he is like "Father of their race", which would make Raziel, who now saw depiction of Janus, that he really looks akin to him in some extent.
Moebius T Pose!
What I really like was the preview of the vampires in the blood omen era, it show the diversity between vampires evolution in soul reaver era
Game seems to feel a bit harder too. You really can die this time. And also love the SR1 combat, kick and sound effect of Raziel. Really cool, another question why they removed that.
2:42 moebius about to hit raziel with a raging demon
At 28:47 there's even an older beta that spawn Thralls here, and there's also a tombstone on the otherside of the river. I wonder if we ever see that build surface.
43:28 I never really understood why Raziel immediately reacts to the Elder God's presence with such snark. IIRC in Soul Reaver it never lets the mask slip, and Raziel leaves that era on what I assume is okish terms. It tells him he will be beyond its influence but that's it? Am I missing something here?
A valid point. It is possible that EG was somehow influencing Raziel in SR1 era due to his presence being everywhere, while in the past he was only in a few areas and him having limited reach and needing agents like Moebius, perhaps. Raziel never showed any discontent with receiving hints from EG throughout SR1 so it is seems bit of a harsh transition in his attitude towards EG in SR2.
It’s mainly because Raziel finds out Moebius is an agent of the elder god and he knows how much of a slime Moebius is.
As SublingnitrO pointed out, at the beginning of Soul Reaver 2 Raziel discovers Moebius is an agent of the Elder God and with his knowledge of the character of Moebius he begins to second guess everything the Elder God told him
i suppose Raziel is being careful and sick of being manipulated. Basically he took the red pill in Soul reaver 2.
I'm not going to lie, Raziel's voice is so alluring. 🥰💖💕🌹🌸
01:18:17 - His face is cutie.☺💕💖
*T-pose Menacingly*
8:38 - раньше не замечал, но сейчас подметил, что в 𝚂𝚁2 у солдат хорошее и логичное фехтование 👏🏿
So many cut dialogues and cutscenes. Really wonder why they changed so many of it. I personally feel this build feels much more immersive.
Hey that's Kurt Harland's voice right? ("sr2 voice placeholder")
I always wondered, what would have happened to Raziel if he used the heart of darkness on himself. To restore himself. What would he look like or even turn into? would it even work?
I don't think so. Remember that his body is not technically real and each time he shifts from the material realm, he abandons his corporeal form and exists as mere soul energy. He's a wraith now and native to spectral realm.
@@RainaAudron that's what I figured. Thanks for the reply 😊
@@RainaAudron What if he used the heart of darkness on his sarafan/early vampire corpse though?
@@PeterVanDerPan He can't as he never did that in the first place.
@@RainaAudron But using the heart in his material form could change his wraith nature. Maybe he could become something like Dumah and Melchia who can exist in both realms simultaneously. Right?
I think i prefer the beta janos mural over the release version
Nice thx
Es casi lo mismo solo cambia ciertas parte como los vampiro y enemigo
Is it just me or does Kain look better in this version than the final release?
does raziel do kicks on the original sr2? and if not is there a way to mod sr2 to add things from the demo to it?
His movements remain unchanged. There's a trainer for the pc version but that's about it.
are you ever gonna a mini series difference just like the S1 betas?
Yes, but likely just one or two videos to cover all the differences, since there's not as much cut content here.
Ótimo vídeo! Uma pergunta que não quer calar...essa seria a versão cancelada para Sega Dreamcast? Se for, oque impede de lançar para comunidade, abraços!
Hey! No, the Dreamcast build was not discovered yet, sadly. This early PS2 prototype is already publicly available.
@@RainaAudron Obrigado pela Informação!
is this the Jul 17, 2001 prototype ?
Yes
@@xMari0TV is this the dreamcast version
@@dreamcastvgabox3640 nah this is a Playstation 2 prototype; the Dreamcast version remains unreleased
Wow Raina, I've been searching for this build for over a decade, any chance in sharing this?
It is out there already, just search for Project Deluge!
@@RainaAudron Thanks!
So many moments are prime to be used as memes lmao
like at 1:18:18
Share the game version please
Ye
Google it. It's uploaded on Hidden Palace.
@@Samm0th Thanks! Secure this piece of gaming history and preserve it!
Turned off adblocker just for you my dude
Much appreciated!
kinda hurts me when you get hit by those bots a lot.
It is difficult as there is no lunge attack and the dodge/autoface does not work the best.
