It wasn't the chosen.
It is the best Build engine game. I used to think it was Duke3D until I finally played Blood like 3 years ago.Awesome, i'm in. Would be nice to play one of those types of games going in blind for once :D
I only played a bit of the second game. How does this compare?
lol it's that bad?If playing Blood 2 is like getting served a platter of shit, playing Blood 1 is like getting served a platter of the most delicious meal you could imagine.
Blood 1 is one of the best FPS games ever, while the sequel is straight up awful. Anyhow, I'd buy this if they ported it to consoles.
Rotting in Hell with Chernabog.
oh, you really didn't know.
Same. Really excited about this remaster. Redneck Rampage next!?

Makes sense. I genuinely like RR but very happy to see Blood get the remaster.Powerslave is supposedly up at some point. I'm not sure on Redneck Rampage as that wasn't nearly as good a game as Blood, so it might not be as commercially viable.
Agreed, love Build games. I have only played Duke, Blood, SW and RR. I have never played Powerslave. Is it good?Good to see people still appreciating the Build engine. Those games have aged well.

Works well except horrible nauseating screen tearing on Steam version + Blood gdx. You have to spend some time preparing the controls for a modern setup but I would have finished the game if it weren't for becoming nauseous over screen tearing. I used 120fps settings. 60fps felt horrible
I remember picking up a two-pack with SHOGO and Septerra Core in it. I wish they'd re-release both, especially to address Septerra Core's reliance on a really old version of QuickTime being installed on your system to run properly.Ok....can somebody now remaster SHOGO: Mobile Armor Division & the 2 NOLF games?
Let's not forget Samuel "Kaiser" Villareal for making so much headway with ports of classic FPSes like this, Doom 64, Powerslave, and Turok (II).Nightdive Studios and Stephen Kick are some of the best things to happen to video games culture

Interesting. I'll definitely check out the Powerslave remaster.The PC version is a Build game and was enjoyable at the time as a standard FPS. However PowerslaveEX (which was previously released by the developer of the recent Night Dive remasters) was based on the Playstation version which was a pretty different game, much more of a metroidvania really, and has a good reputation. The EX version was originally released under the presumption that the original rights holders were defunct, however I think that swiftly turned out not to be the case; the upcoming rerelease is likely a more polished version.
I remember that 2-pack. I loved Shogo. I believe that was built with same engine (lith 2.0?) and released at around the same time as Blood 2. Those games had such weird explosions (as did Quake 2), everything mushroom clouding haha. Blood 2 was okay but I tend to agree with popular opinion that 1 was just much more polished and inspired. Duke remains the King of Build for me, though.I remember picking up a two-pack with SHOGO and Septerra Core in it.

I think that was pulled. Also, it's based on the PlayStation version, which isn't bad, but it's unfortunate that we couldn't have all of the stuff from the Saturn version in a re-release. FYI, I seem to recall it having a preference for running on AMD hardware, but I may be remembering incorrectly.Interesting. I'll definitely check out the Powerslave remaster.
Oh, yeah, I was thinking about that while watching Game Informer's Super Replay of Dynamite Cop a while back. I think it's funny how explosion rendering has changed.I remember that 2-pack.

It looks like Blood Remastered is coming out next month
Now a tweet from developer Samuel 'Kaiser' Villarreal claims that the game will at last be released in April, "as in this year" he confirms. The tweet was deleted, but was caught because it was posted on the internet.
Villarreal is the developer behind the 'Kex' remaster projects, which include Doom64EX, PowerslaveEX, and others – which are designed to imitate the look and feel of these classic shooters as closely as possible, except with a range of enhancements and support for modern systems. His work has been tapped by Night Dive before, for their Turok re-releases, and now he's currently working on BloodEX for Blood Remastered.
He tweeted out about the release date for Blood Remastered in a reply to Polygon's article yesterday about some new screenshots for the remaster, along with the comment "now stop asking me about it," but immediately deleted it. Twitter user Wario64 caught the tweet and reposted a picture of it.
