I am surprised it's a low budget title. Would have actually paid more for it if needed. Well, if it makes more people buy it because of that, then I am cool with it.

More people will buy from a 'smaller' developer if the prices are lower, that way they don't feel so conned if they dislike the product. Personally I'd happily pay anything up to standard UK retail price for it (£30), but £15 for a great game and 4 free DOSBox games in a handy combined launcher as a pre-order incentive is a steal.

Just checked that trailer and it looked like a lot of fun! Can't wait!

[Player Lin]

Finally...nice, will pre-order the game!

But just feel I'm stupid for bought BS:AoG and BS:PS in GOG last year......whatever.

[DaveyDoomsday]

Thanks for the support, guys!

Buy the 4 pack on Steam! It's the best deal. Works out to $11.25 per copy and you get 4 Throwback Packs!

[OpenMaw]

Well I had 17 bucks left on a visa debit/gift card and it was a toss up between this and Blood Dragon.

So, this better be damn good. I'm a Michael Biehn whore, and I passed him up for ROTT.

I want Ludicrousness and Extremetitude.

[Micky C]

Given that ROTT is cheaper, has a campaign that's probably twice the length of Blood Dragon, AND has multiplayer (if that's your thing), ROTT is definitely a better deal. Although saying that I'd love to get Blood Dragon myself, and I will when it's on sale.

[Kathy]

On the other hand, you can play Blood Dragon right now.

"There is supposed to be a previously unreleased "classic-ROTT-style" music track from yours truly in ROTT 2013. Don't know where it'll be..."

[Engel220]

Heheh.

[DaveyDoomsday]

Blood Dragon is my GOTY so far, don't NOT get it because of ROTT! <-- Bad marketing

[necroslut]

Blood Dragon was a disappointment, extremely repetitive.

[xMobilemux]

Best part in the game

My GOTY of the year is Rise of Triad. And that has nothing to do with being the Game Designer and Director on it

Oh I will get it eventually, but I figured i'd show my love to Apogee first, since I love that damn logo.

Oh yeah, you're totally not biased AT ALL. Mm-mm. No-way no-how.

Oh, I only played it 20 minutes or so and found it boring (gameplay wise). That means the boredom* stays the same until the end?


*) Personal opinion, ofc

[Engel220]

BD was alright, but a fair few people had performance issues on PC that, as far as I currently know, haven't been fixed yet. Hopefully the post-release support for ROTT will be far better.

The whole game is pretty much the same all the way. The music was pretty nice though.

[DavoX]

So I preordered, I hope you guys deliver

I don't know if this has already been pointed out or not, but...

DOPEFISH LIVES!




Go to about 42 seconds in and watch from there.

[NightFright]

Lightsabers were yesterday, the Excalibat is TODAY! \o/

That looks like we might get a game with a multiplayer that actually deserves its name again. Straight-forward, simple, fun. Just makes me drool for it even more.

I really hope this to be what DNF should have been, and I don't think you guys will disappoint since you didn't just say "omg omg, it's gonna be so awesome, just wait", you also told (and showed) us WHY. And I want to believe.

[Micky C]

Oh yeah

omgad why are you posting videos from A YEAR ago.

But yes, Dopefish was confirmed on day one.

If you want to check out multiplayer, watch our 18 minute video

[NightFright]

I bet Dopefish was the first asset for the new game they created. The rest was just built around it piece by piece. That's how da Dopefish likes it.

I just noticed that The Apogee Throwback Pack was updated to include MP3 renderings of the ROTT 95 soundtrack. That's good. But then I noticed that these were recorded with the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, which basically amounts to opening the MIDI files in Windows Media Player and recording the output. That's bad.

Windows' default handling of MIDI files is crap and shouldn't be used to represent ROTT. Lee Jackson used the vastly superior Roland Sound Canvas MIDI module to compose the soundtrack back in the day. If you want to hear what that sounded like, Duke4's own MusicallyInspired has recorded the original ROTT MIDIs with a real Roland SC-55 and posted the results here. The difference in quality should be a very obvious night and day, and it's leagues more accurate (if not identical) to the sound module Lee composed with. Put simply, this is how the Rise of the Triad soundtrack was meant to be heard. I hate to sound melodramatic, but the ROTT 95 soundtrack currently released by Interceptor is a bit of a disservice to Lee's work. I hope this can be fixed, but unfortunately, the Windows GS Wavetable Synth rendition has already been used in the God Rest, Ye Deadly Gentlemen remix (this was pointed out in the comments, to which Terry Nagy curiously rebuked) and I suspect that these are the versions that will be used in the remake in the advertised Classic Mode sound option.

I'm absolutely looking forward to Andrew's new rendition of the soundtrack, but I humbly request that you please don't skimp when it comes to Lee's original compositions. If there was a time to do justice to Lee's soundtrack, there would be no better opportunity than now.

[Player Lin]

I just hope they can use whatever soundfont for them but not the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth... maybe in some rarely cases, it's not that bad but in mostly cases....oh just throw that one away please...

I hope the release date is before July, or at the very least pre-orders.

Looks like I got my wish, so I'm happy.

[Mr. Tibbs]

Pre-ordered! Going by the videos, the movement speed, secrets and gibs are reason enough to be really excited. Thanks to living in NZ, ROTT won't unlock until August 1st for me. Three weeks and counting!
