This looks really really bad

 

[Fugitive Sex]

Who wanted this?

 

[eyesabitdull]

We're, uh, really scraping the bottom of the barrel now aren't we?

 

[Cravis]

Saw the thread title and wanted to come in here bitching and moaning it wasn't Bloodrayne 2. Happily surprised to see it is.

Hopefully this comes to consoles. The dismemberment system was aces.

 

[SCB3]

Bloodrayne is such a weird game that got popular, it has a movie FFS, it and the games were awful

 

[ZywyPL]

Loved the first one, can't remember how many times I finished it back in the days, but the sequel was rather disappointing, never bothered with it after first walkthrough, I actually went back straight through the original after that, it was just so much better on every single aspect.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

But why?

 

[Vae_Victis]

Who is doing this? Steam lists Terminal Reality as the developer, but they are the original developers, and went bankrupt years ago.

I seem to remember reading that at least the first game had compatibility and crash issues on modern systems, so it's not exactly a high bar for this to be better than the version available until now.

Also, screw the haters and the zoomers, the first game was pretty unique and interesting, and the second was a more standard but decent action-adventure for its time.

 

[Ridaxan]

I enjoyed both titles back in the day. Fired them up recently and they didn't age well at all though. Still cool to see this though.

 

[Sub_Level]

It can be fun to play a trashy 2 outta 5 game sometimes.

 

[Stitch]

This will be a free update if you own the old versions on Steam or GOG

 

[Agent_4Seven]

 

[BacklashWave534]

Who wanted this?

Me, thanks for asking.

 

[ipukespiders]

Awesome! Really enjoyed these back in the day and replayed the first one recently on GOG.

edit: Free upgrade for existing owners, too!

 

[Zambatoh]

Cool. Another win for preservation.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Only time I've ever won anything in my life was a copy of the first game in a contest at a local blockbuster. Ending up really enjoying it and being surprised at how much fun it was to play. The second one wasn't as good as the first from what I remember but I think it was serviceable.

Anyway, would be cool to see this series make a comeback but I think they got sued for stealing Raynes design.

 

[ULTROS!]

The title is misleading and incomplete. Isn't it only coming to PC and it's both 1 and 2?

[Ivory Blood]

Who wanted this?

I did. Bloodrayne 2 can't even be played on modern systems, and this is exactly what's needed for preservation.

 

[Denton]

I liked Bloodrayne 1 back in the day. One of the first games that used bumpmapping. I remember admiring those walls and their bump maps.

And Rayne had nice bump maps too.

"All current owners of BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2 on Steam and GOG will receive BloodRayne: Terminal Cut and BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut for free. "

nice!

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Awsome. Loved those games.

 

[spookyfish]

First instinct: Be snarky about this.
After taking a moment: Well done for games preservation.

 

[Forsythia]

Laura Baileys sucking sounds really hot in these games.

 

[CamHostage]

Who is doing this? Steam lists Terminal Reality as the developer, but they are the original developers, and went bankrupt years ago.

Not sure? The original press release and the disclosure of the acquisition both mention Terminal Reality as if it were still an existent entity. Also, the product name is based off of the Terminal Reality "brand".

"Fans have been asking what's next for the series, and now we're excited to show off the great work that's been done by Terminal Reality on the first two titles."

Ziggurat Interactive Acquires BloodRayne Franchise Alongside Other Majesco Properties

The recently launched publisher continues to grow its massive catalog of owned IPs.

But then, there is no Terminal Reality website or social page I can tell of them announcing "we're back!!", and no quotes in the press release from those original developers on seeing their homegrown project back to life. So, yeah, who is doing this?

(*Also, for those curious, Ziggurat already has rights to the 2D Bloodrayne Betrayal [aka [best Bloodrayne?"] Not sure it will/could get a remaster, but the game is already maintained as available on Steam and GOG.)

 

[GymWolf]

I loved the first one so much, slashing nazis was a delight.

Never liked the second one at all.

 

[jshackles]

And Rayne had nice bump maps too.

Except the actual game looks like this

(from store page)

 

[The Cockatrice]

I once jerked off to Blood Rayne. First game was great but the second was eh. A remake would've been much better.

 

[CAB_Life]

Was this a cult classic or something? I don't see the demand for a remaster.

 

[Connificent]

Wow

 

[MiguelItUp]

Wasn't expecting this at all, in ANY way.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Saw the thread title and wanted to come in here bitching and moaning it wasn't Bloodrayne 2. Happily surprised to see it is.

Hopefully this comes to consoles. The dismemberment system was aces.

I don't see a chance for this releasing on the PS4 unless Rayne wears a burka to cover all the sexy bits.

I don't play COD. I play quake and unreal tournament. Get it right.

Well shit, I can't even insult people right today. For the record I was just giving you shit for your knock on JRPGs.

 

[Rikkori]

That's pretty good news! It would great to see this remade though, but I guess not likely in this climate.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Nevermind, BR1 is here too.

Well shit, I can't even insult people right today. For the record I was just giving you shit for your knock on JRPGs.

Trailer for the first game showed 1 second of gameplay. Yikes
