Only 15$? Holy shit, I wasn't even thinking of this as a downloadable title.

I know, if this was retail expecially with all the cool sounding stuff I'd almost buy it.

$15 is a steal, and a day 1 or 0 purchase for me.

 

[Nabs]

15 bucks? How about I give it to you now?

 

[Amagon]

For $15, take my money!!!!!!

 

[Messofanego]

Never played the original, but this looks sick!

 

[Wario64]

$15 sounds good to me


That's USD price, right?

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Flamewall is THE weapon. Day 1.

Bought ROTT: Dark War for $40 back in the 90's. Played awesome on my mom's Compaq Presario.

Live action FMV hands?

 

[KKRT00]

OMFG i'm in heaven.
Seriously i cant believe that even happened, so maybe, just maybe Jedi Knight will get new release someday and my gaming wishlist will be full

 

[Easy_D]

Oh God please yes. Caleb must live... again!

Yeah, why didn't they ever make a Blood 2!?

 

[gabbo]

OMFG i'm in heaven.

Outlaw's first, Jedi Knight second.

 

[Error Macro]

Yeah, why didn't they ever make a Blood 2!?

Huh? They did mak...

Oh.

ISWYDT !

But seriously, I actually liked Blood 2


As for ROTT, I've got the shareware version up and running in DOSBox, and after learning how to tweak DOSBox for maximum clarity (fullscreen native LCD res, OpenGL renderer w/ NO bilinear filtering, aspect ratio correction, no scaling) it looks fantastic. And DAT MIDI MUSIC.

Shame I can't find my floppies of the full version at the moment :\

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

I rarely buy games out of nostalgia, but this might one of the rare occasions.

 

[kennah]

Fuck. Yes.

Exactly what I said.

Day One

Will Upgrade for.

People disliked Blood 2? I know they changed it to a futuristic sci-fi/magical type setting, but it was still a fun game from what I remember.

 

[Spectacular Dr Dawg]

YYYYEEEEEESSSSS!!

Please have proper level design and no regenerating health.

OMFG i'm in heaven.

Unfortunately Raven are stuck making Call of Duty map-packs

Yeah, why didn't they ever make a Blood 2!?

It was for the best. They could never live up to the original and a sequel would just tarnish the name.

I liked Blood2. Levels were good in my opinion and it had a strange atmosphere that I liked a lot. Also the idea of the idea of the cult becoming a multinational corporation was so good.
/offtopic.

 

[Chakan]

Wow this game was so cool back then. Doubt this new one is worth something.

 

[Raide]

Baseball Bat grenades back or GTFO!

Loved the old RotT games, will keep an eye on this.

I will also echo what some have said about Blood. If we can get some Redneck Rampage in there too, all will be well.

 

[PansenHansen]

i played the shit out of the shareware version before the retail came out.
so many memories...

According to theverge, Interceptor has only been working on ROTT for over 5 months...

This looks so much better then it has any right to, and god damn that new Fastway mix is sick.

 

[Wario64]

Looks damn fun

Looks like the health doesn't regenerate

 

[galvan]

I played this at quakecon earlier. Game is really fast paced and fun

 

[ZacharyDCCLXXVII]

Looks damn fun

Looks like the health doesn't regenerate

Agreed. Glad to see we've got regular health, as well.

For 15$? I'm definitely in.

 

[speedpop]

There is hope left for the FPS genre.

 

[Teknopathetic]

The only sad thing about this (and it's the good thing on the other hand) is that the weapons are just going to be absolutely overpowered and broken. But that's going to make it so awesome. But it won't be competitively viable. But it'll be so fun.

 

[inm8num2]

This game looks ridiculously silly, energetic, and FUN.

I revisited the original ROTT today. What is it about older shooters just being more enjoyable than modern ones? There's a beauty in the simplicity of design.

Is a new Blood next?

my emotions, you play with them.

This is probably new thread-worthy, but I'm lazy:

Hello,

My name is Jason (Jace) Hall and some of you may know of me.

I have been contemplating the idea bringing Blood back and was wondering how people might feel about it or if they were interested in helping me to do it.

To be clear, I am thinking of bringing the ORIGINAL Blood game back as it was, with functionality alterations/enhancements that are similar but superior to ZDAEMON's. I would also make it work on all platforms, and not just PC. There are other things as well...

I have a very specific vision in mind for what I'd like to do, but before I go off and do it - I wanted to speak directly with the Blood community and see what the thoughts are.

My goal of course is for this all to be free, and all about gameplay and fun. You can rest assured that I have the resources to bring BLOOD back properly but like I said, I'm hoping to have the community participate in all this if it wants to so we can all do it together. This site is great and it would be great to see the Blood community grow!

What do you all think?

Jace

I still can't believe Rise of the Triad is coming back, and even more that it actually looks like they've done it justice.

Isn't he from Monolith? I loved the Jace Hall show.

I did the thread.

RoTT is the best news from Quakecon.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Is this only for PC? My PC sucks

 

[Eideka]

For now, PC only it seems.

 

[Stallion Free]

Just put the pre-order up and you can have my 15$ now. At that price, I don't even hesitate.

 

[scitek]

I did the thread.

Nice

 

[gabbo]

I think he cashed out of Monolith around the time Warner came calling.

 

[old manatee]

Aaah, those videos look perfect. I'd be so down for a crystal caves remake, too.

The game looks fast and fun. But there was something that I couldn`t help but notice in the first video...

Three hand mode!

yeah, I know... for a game tat has been in development for about 6 months, you wouldn't expect it to be perfect on all fronts. `But I still found this bit amusing.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Blood 2 is a godawful piece of putrid, rotten shit and I will never forgive Monolith for shitting all over the Blood IP with their shitsux sequel.

Anyway, YAY for RotT returning! <3

 

[Wario64]

3 hand model should be an easter egg, mind as well

 

[ZoddGutts]

Oh man love this game. Had forgotten the name of the game and was going to make a thread a few weeks ago to find out what game it was. Playing God mode was fun as hell. Will be looking into this new game.

So, should I grab the original on GOG and blow through it as I've never played it before or simply wait for this to drop?

Honestly? Download the shareware, and if you even manage to finish that then quit while you're ahead. ROTT had a lot of interesting things going for it but level design wasn't one of them.

I'd rather have a new Soldier of Fortune made by Raven.

 

[e_i]

....I just realised I'm thinking of the same game too.

How is ROTT? What is so special about it?

You can turn into a dog and bite people's nuts.
