The big white bones sticking out of guards cut apart by gunfire are a thing of cheesy beauty, as well as the dual pistol reload animation at 1:08.

I still haven't played the original RoTT, but now I kind of feel like I should. Is WinROTT still considered the best upgraded engine for it?

I don't think there's much choice as source ports go. There's also a decent ZDoom sequel-mod-thing that captures the feel of it well. And Wolfenstein 2009 was good, even if the multiplayer (apparently) stank.

Well that video has me sufficiently excited to blow peoples limbs off with a dinky little pistol. I like how the movement speed looks quick, and if theres tons of teleporters and bounce pads and other wacky poo poo from the original this is going to be pretty fun for a modern shooter.

Those images did not sell the game to me; generic blank faces, textures that looked like someone puked up a detail tool all over them, all over a drab grey castle environment? Then I watched the trailer, and as soon as that metal version of Fastway started up the hairs on the back of my neck all stood up and suddenly all the memories of drunken missiles, flying bird-flipping arms, and trashcan robots all began to flood back into memory. If they can do something about the "generic" appearance of the game between now and release, I think we got a serious competitor to Serious Sam 3 here. Also good to know that the Apogee revival didn't die with that Duke Nukem DS game. (please please please let this sell tons so we can get Alien Carnage remade as a sidescrolling action roguelike)

I have never played the original RotT. Now I feel that I absolutely must. How is the GoG version? EDIT: Also, thanks for explaining how ROR works. Had no idea there were so many different ways to do that. Mak0rz fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Aug 2, 2012 |

Speaking of that, that music (and the original version you linked) sounds incredibly familiar (and kicks rear end). I never played RoTT, though, and the only other place I can think of that I might have heard it - Overclocked Remix - doesn't have any remixes based on RoTT. Did this get used in any other games or something? Or did the composer work on another game I did play?

It's been used in a ton of Doom and Duke3D user maps if you ever played many of them. Also, RADAGIO.MID is best.

After seeing that I want to play RoTT but I can't get either winrott or winrottgl to run. Winrott doesn't give any errors but it simply doesn't do anything when I hit the run button, winrottgl says it can't find 'colors.ifo' which I suspect is supposed to be included in the dllpack but isn't.

Wow, motion sickness from that RoTT trailer. Gimme an FOV slider and the game will be one of the best shooters of the last 5 years, though, if the gameplay is anything to go by.

Michael Pachter spoke about how it was a pretty big challenge in development for companies going from PS2/Xbox era to multicore consoles. Adding to that how perfectionist Id tries to be and it leads to a pretty really long dev process. Look at how Japanese game companies, dominant in the prior era of consoles, have only recently caught up techwise.

The ROTT.net site mentions steam integration, I wonder if there'll be any promotional tf2 items for prepurchasing. The soldier could get an smg, heck, I would be over the moon if a few weapons just got reskins.

Glad to see it'll be on Steam. A few years ago, one of the three of so guys left at 3DR made a pissy post on the 3DR forums about how Steam sucked, which I thought meant that there'd be no way future Apogee games would be on Steam.

What's weird to me is that Rise of the Triad, the creatively named linux port is in the main ubuntu repository so it's always a software center away. There's a ZDOOM TC in the works too at http://www.moddb.com/mods/return-of-the-triad.

I hope that GOG puts the original RotT on sale one of these weekends so us unlucky souls who haven't played it yet can experience it before the remake lands in many Steam libraries. I know $6 isn't a lot of money and it's probably more than worth it, but I'm very frugle and $3 is a big difference for me.

I saw there was a Triad pack for TF2 announced today, turns out it was for promoting that new Capcom game  The Steam integration looks great though, they're using the Workshop to distribute mods and player created levels.

The competitive crowd are astoundingly fickle, and it takes literally years of testing and refinement to keep them happy. They're the reason why most new shooters have completely dead multiplayer within a week. For a $15 game, it's just not worth even trying.

Shame about the co-op, but considering the engine it's on, it coming with an editor, and it already having multiplayer modes, I'm sure fans could cook up a co-op mode soon enough if they don't.

I'd imagine the amount of effort that goes into actually making a level is slightly higher once you throw non-90 degree angles and semi-realistic 3D models into the mix. Not that simply judging by level count is a good measure anyways.
