Yeah just pretending Blood 2 never happened would be best for everyone. And honestly these days they could probably get away with just making something as story light as the original Blood anyway so they wouldn't even have to pretend to justify it. Just like "yeah gently caress you have more Blood".

I wouldn't be opposed to a straight sequel to Blood 2... but it would probably be better not to. Maybe the '70s might be a nice take? Could have some fun with that. Although I suppose both DeathWish and Bloody Pulp Fiction had areas with that sorta feel. DeathWish especially, I feel like some of Episode 1's levels had that grimy urban horror feel you get in the '70s and '80s.drrockso20 posted:Buy the rights to that Darkwatch game, it's basically a Blood ripoff anyways I'd love to see Darkwatch on PC for that exact reason. ... gently caress Atari. There's worse out there, like EA, but Atari is the company I hate the most. I was so glad when Alone in the Dark escaped their clutches.

It would be a pretty slick move if they came out with a sequel to Blood and just called it Blood II.

I’m thinking bigger and imagining the Blood / Captain Blood crossover. Exploring the galaxy, communicating with alien lifeforms, setting them on fire when they won’t listen.

at the time, we all thought they looked amazing. any cgi was mindblowing imho, this is why the quake 2 intro holds up so goddamn well: they wisely decided to *never* show a body or face of anything so it's just a really fantastic mood piece

Is this the thread for neo-retro stuff like Ion Fury (E: or Maiden, but not Storm  ) too? I just had some time to check it drat it feels like it could've been made in the 90s and is actually great to play. So this removes at least one layer of nostalgia, though of course I still have all the Build games memorized so that could be it. It'd be interesting to see what people who never played the original games would think though.Mierenneuker posted:Lower standards, lower standards. Remember how awesome was this?

I think graphically Max Payne wasn’t as impressive coming so late because 2001 is the best year in video games rivaled only by 1998, but the attention to detail was insane. It was also super smart to do comic book cutscenes, the engine couldn’t really handle detailed cutscenes and that shortcoming made Halo and GTA3 feel super cheap.

The big thing in Max Payne was the detail in the textures, which was extremely high for the time period. It was the first game to shoot for photorealism and actually kind of hit it.

The other thing about Max Payne (more specifically MP2) was that they just oozed loving style. More so than almost any shooter of that time I can remember. The comic book cutscenes, the storyline, the entire Monica plot line, the level layout... Max Payne 2 was just so stylish. gently caress, I love that game.
