When I played a very early demo of Monolith´s dark, brutal and gory FPS game "Blood" back in 1997, I had no idea what I could expect. Let´s just say that I got blown away. And I´ve been a fan ever since then. However, Blood 2 would be the final game in the series (mainly due to bad grades and sells). Even so, I (Robin Ek, The Gaming Ground) have dreamed about "Blood III" or a "Blood Remake" for years.
So this is my story about the rise, fall and resurrection of Monolith´s dark, evil and brutal “Blood” FPS series.
Monolith may be gone, but the Nemesis System still belongs to Warner Bros.
With all the renewed -ve PR the nemesis patent info got again this year, WB better persuade Rocksteady to implement it in some or the other in their next single-player game.
An open world , single player DC super hero game with the nemesis system would have been great. Instead Warner Bros chased live-service and screwed over its developers.
Some Video Game franchises have weapons that are imaginative, unconventional and downright bizarre. This is a good thing. Join us as we investigate nine of the best.
I'm surprised Ratchet & Clank wasn't on the list. Late Saint's Row games, with more imaginative weapons like the Shark gun and the armchair with guns would fit on a part two list as well
I'm not familiar with Ratchet and Clank (not my sort of game) but I'll add it to the list for part two along with Saint's Row. Thanks for the suggestions :-)
look up resistance fall of man from insomniac as well. there were some interesting weapons for that too
@phoenix
Resistance series 100%. Especially the secondary fires. Auger shields, Bullseye tags, Magnum detonator, Rossmore incindiary, then throw a Hedgehog for good measure. By the time I got to R3 they were onto Atomizers and Mutators. Armory speaks for itself.
Thank you to everyone for your excellent suggestions. They have all been added to the list for part two which should be published by the end of the month :-)
We’ve all been there, it’s 1 am and you’re trying to sleep but your brain keeps reminding you of all the dumb mistakes that you’ve ever made and it’s keeping you awake. If you think you feel bad, imagine that one of your dumb mistakes cost a company thousands of pounds (or dollars if you’re across the pond).
The dumbest decision I've had with any game was the devs/publishers forcing MT into a series that previously had none.
the dumbest l remember is dishonoured. They gave us all these cool abilities but you actively got punished for using them and got the bad ending for doing so. like wtf. why put them in the game and then say don't use em?
I'd love a new or remade Blood. I bought the first on PC in 1997.
I cant even remember how many times ive played this... one of my most fav 90s game. I Live agaiiinn
Unreal Engine 4 you say? Sure, why not? However, I really hope that the dark atmosphere will be authentic to the previous Blood games.
I need a key.
My favorite shooter series! Bring it back!
