BloodRayne: Revamped and BloodRayne 2: Revamped now have a release date on Switch, along with first screenshots for both games.
"Today, Ziggurat Interactive is making dreams — and nightmares — come true, with new patches for "BloodRayne: ReVamped" and "BloodRayne 2: ReVamped" that bring back the most highly requested feature from fans: the original cheat codes." - Ziggurat Interactive.
That would make sense as the update came out a few days ago, not today. Or even yesterday for that matter
Problem is the article was posted 2 days after the sale so why mention the sale. I even gave the post the benefit of the doubt because I've seen weeks old articles posted on here in the past yet this one was submitted day and date with the website.
Update didn't seem to fix much of anything. BR1:R still suffers from numerous random crashes on console.
Paul writes: "Games have moved on massively since the early 2000s and while BloodRayne 2: ReVamped is almost like a time capsule, it feels like a rushed port, with no real attempt made to tailor the game to the console market or controller even."
Neil writes: "We may have gone the best part of a decade without BloodRayne being in our thoughts, but when Ziggurat pushed out BloodRayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites to PC and console a couple of months back, the floodgates were opened. And that is how we're got to today's launch of BloodRayne: Revamped 1 and 2."
They are more 3rd person shooter than Ninja Gaiden. They are fun though. I played them when they came out.
I tried the first one recently and i didn't like it personally. The controls were way too janky for me. It's a cool looking game and all but it doesn't play as good as it looks.
The old ones obviously, these just came out lmao
And it doesn't look like they did much with these "remasters" just some fixes and more modern features like better controller support and higher resolution etc.
Just watch a gameplay video on youtube and you'll see if you want to play it.
I already want to play it from this trailer lol. I was just wondering a comparison from someone that played it already.
Sup sour. It's a good character in an average game and story. The first game is old. Poor animation, graphics, etc. The second game is better in many ways including the blood splatter(spilling it was part of the fun) but still showing its age. I still have it on the OG Xbox.
Think of the controls and movement being Tomb Raider-ish as you see in the video. The weapons you get, the background contextual deaths using spikes, garbage truck, etc, the ability to heal by sucking on your enemies was an interesting mechanic and good fun. If you got low on health, you could turn the enemy you were draining into bullet fire to keep from getting hit. Had rail sliding before Sunset Overdrive. Her blades cut enemies in the most horrific and satisfying ways. Torso, down the middle, decapitation, dismemberment. It was very entertaining for that compared to more conservative games that didn't allow it back then. And had the Max Payne slow mo mechanic to see your enemies deaths nice and clear.
If the franchise was handled by a developer that was competent, like say, a Sony first party dev, this game series would still be rocking today. Rayne had potential. Had Interesting characters. It just needed that extra push of competent programming.
And I can see from this video, they did nothing special in updating the game. It looks like the PC version at higher resolution. But this is a poor revamp. Worth playing. But not worth spending much if the developer can't even bring the game up to PS4, Xbox one standards. Should have changed from the Infernal Engine to Unreal Engine 4. And they could have brought in new animation. Paid Microsoft for Havok. Something more than what I'm seeing.
Thanks. I was sold at horrific lol. Thats twice I’ve heard disappointment from OG players. But going in a first time? I’m going to give it a shot. Number 2 not 1.
I played the first and second on PS2 and they were both good but the first was my favorite. I plan on getting a physical copy of the first game through Limited Run Games for Switch.
Can’t wait to platinum these both!
Edit: looked at the trophies, no platinums…
i'd love to see a next gen bloodrayne 3, that in this style not the platformer.
Nice. This was announced a short while ago. Didn't expect it this year.
So upgrades to everything but the controls and how the character interacts with its environment. So if you paint a turd....
