It's a game from 1997, how scary do you expect it to be?

So what if it's from 1997?

System Shock 2 is still a very scary game for 1999, speaking of which it came out on the 11th August, so its eleven years old now

It has limitations that may make it less scary.

Well if it was a response to me then I say o I don't have a vagina; I am a paranoid child who needs medication for his anxiety. I am suprised I could deal with watching the exorcist.

I don't think Blood is necessarily scary, but it is intense. I've had plenty of "Oh shit I don't wanna die and have to restart." moments. It's not scary like Silent Hill, but it's intense at time IMO.

I mean, you're Caleb and you can kick the ass of the living and the dead so you're not like "OMG OMG OMG!" hehe. I've had some moments where my virtual life flashed before my eyes though where I doubted that I was going to make it. So it is evocative in that way I think, at least for me. But hey, games are subjective we all experience them differently.

I think most of us can agree that Blood is a kick-ass game though.

[Shawneth]

It goes like this

Duke Nukem 3D = 1
Blood and Shadow Warrior = 2 (tie)
Doom 2 = 3
Doom 1 = 4
Redneck Rampage = 5

And so on in the 90's FPS time...

Anyone want to play some Blood-bath on Yang?

[Hendricks266]

Maybe, although the only BUILD multiplayer I've ever played has been Duke a couple of times with family.

Thats OK, as long as you know how to play you should do just fine.

[ReaperMan]

Anyone else want to play some blood?

Hey, that was the day with the popular solar eclipse in Central Europe. Can't forget that great day!

Blood is kickass, it's defenitly my favourite FPS game.

Your an undead gun slinging cowboy, evil as Hell, blowing zombies heads off and killing unholy cultists in all kinds of creative ways (blowing them to pieces, setting them on fire), with lots of nods to horror movies and the weapon choices are excellent.

Nowadays it's proberly hard to find copy and getting it working.

Hmm, a horror game? The only thing I found scary in that game was the music. that's all. Everything else just seemed like it was awesome, not scary. I can see how it is supposed to be scary but I guess the music was the only thing that cut it .

Doesn't have to be scary to be a horror game. It's just got alot of horror themes (film refrences and just the brutal enviroment).
It's campy, but still creepy back then having hordes of zombies coming for you with axes.

Nice! I didn't know about this. I have 2 CD copies of Blood but they always freeze on the Monolith screen on XP or Vista.
What we need next is for them to release that source code stop holding it hostage and a good mod engine. Open GL, and lots of freedom to make our own mods with it.

And if your still up for it i'll give you a Blood game, not played it online yet but I have all the right gear to try it.

Download Yang then, if you need any help just post.

I'm always up for a game of Blood. ^^ I mostly play ZBlood because I can run it at 1920x1200, but I prefer original Blood. ^^

[ReaperMan]

You can't beat the real deal.

[Jinroh]

No you cannot. ^^ Despite ZBlood being a great attempt it still doesn't compare. ^^

I just didn't like how many ZDoom features ZBlood didn't make use of..

i'm working on a ZBlood remake making it more true to the original game.

I guess it's now 37% accurate compared to ZBloods 12%
The finished project should be atleast 66% to original Blood (random numbers ftw).

Thats cool, although i still think that Blood is meant to be built on the build engine. Why is it not one can Finnish a Duke 3D Blood TC anyway?

Yup since Bloods engine does have build ties. I hear of multiple Blood remakes, I think some were even on Eduke32, but I guess they were abandoned. Another for Quake2? Though they concentrated more on the blood bath not single player.

Well, reason I am working on this one for Doom is because, the ZBlood makers pretty much left the project to die and the fact that people still play this mod (coop or singleplayer) bugs the Hell outta me since it could be done so much better.. So thats where I come in, atleast make a decent version instead of just graphic replacment.

Because they would rather Swedish one.

I don't even remember making that post

[Psycho87]

Blood > Duke3d > Shadow Warrior

[Micky C]

I'd have to go with Oporix's list as well. Though sometimes blood and shadow warrior gain a lead over each other depending on how I'm feeling. Not like I've played them in a year though...

i always felt blood needed a sequal after blood 2 the chosen, wonder if it will ever happen?

[Shawneth]

I doubt it, been about thirteen years, right? Duke was planning on making a sequel and that's why it's coming out soon, but they never said anything about that for Blood, sadly.
