This is probably the greatest horror FPS ever made. One of the greatest oldschool shooters ever made. One of the best FPS title ever made. It's easily top 10 material along with Doom and Duke 3D. Play it.

I loved this game.

I always argued with my brother about what the cultists were yelling. I forget what he said, but to me it will always be “manamax and spearbooks!”

I'll probably buy this sooner or later, but I really wish that the source code for the original game was released.

I've played pretty much every version that came out including recreations and abortions like ZBlood. BloodGDX (which requires Java) used the source code from a beta release. Another one called Nblood which I'll link here since it's not super easy to find: https://nukeykt.retrohost.net/ This version used reverse engineered source code from the full release.

When it comes to replicating the original game I would say they're about even with each other with Fresh Supply leading the pack in terms of options. I love the fact that it has true 3D aiming, you can turn off the fucking auto-aim that always seemed to fuck me over with the Flare Gun, and like BloodGDX you can turn up the number of enemies in the difficulty settings (it's under User Made when you select an episode) and even adjust how aggressive each enemy type is.

It's Blood. It's pretty much the same exact game. The only problem I've noticed is that the music turns off when you re-load a state after dying but I expect a patch soon to address that. I've noticed only obese neckbeard programming faggots bitching and moaning that it's not exactly 100% the same. I played this game when I was young. I don't notice any significant downgrade. Those kind of guys will always bitch about something and look for something to cry about on forums. So I wouldn't put much stock in those guys.

Oh yeah, I just got a coupon for it on steam because I own the original. An hey, always been a fan so def gonna pick up this badboy for some nostalgic fun.

Update: the bug where the music goes away when you load a save state only applies if you select the CD audio. Again, a patch is most likely in the works and will be pushed out soon. Otherwise I've encountered no issues.

One last update:

I tried a couple of mods and they all worked fine. I downloaded Inherit The Earth as @c-no recommended it and it's one of those ultra hard mods with limited ammo. But I only completed the first level. All I had to do to get it to work was put all the level maps in the same folder as the rest of Inherit the Earth.

All you have to do to run custom episodes is drag and drop them in one big folder in the Addons folder for Blood: Fresh Supply. I ran Death Wish without issue. Death Wish is an absolute must play for any fan of Blood or oldschool FPS or Build engine FPS as it's one of the finest vanilla mods ever created.

The creator kept refining it over the years so the issue Gman noted about limited ammo and health is no longer an issue. The video is playing the mod on the original DOS version of the game and it gives you a good idea of how much of an improvement Blood: Fresh Supply and the other source ports are: runs at 60FPS, fluid mouse-look and aim, with all the goodies.

I enjoyed playing Shadow Warrior more but just because it was easier, the jokes were more accessible and mom was a little more comfortable with seeing it played. Now that I'm a big boy I'll definitely pir... Buy this in the official Steam store!

Can i plug a cool boomtuber that made me realize how amazing Blood is? His Pro Postal 2 series is also a recommended watch. He's similar to ggmanlives, but he's almost exclusively FPS

yea Civvie is great.His pro series gave me a deeper appreciation for old fps games. Overall he is a great youtuber. One of the few gaming youtubers who isn't complete ass cancer, completely devoid of personalty or just strokes reddit hate boner.

The game is slightly false advertised since it states it has "extended modding support" when in reality, it doesn't actually have any modding support aside from being compatible with vanilla game formats. Like it completely lacks a level editor. So it really should've also had the disclaimer "You need the DOS version of the game to mod it still"

 

[Recoil]

I put more hours into Blood than any build engine game. It just flowed so nicely.
This looks promising.

 

[The Shadow]

It lives...again.

 

[garakfan69]

If there's a game that needs proper mouse look, it's Blood.
Aiming at gargoyles and spiders was annoying.

Now I hope someone does a remake of Redneck Rampage

Yeah there's always going to be that manical purist, and frankly god bless them because we do end up with improved emulation and crazy stuff like the Analogue Mini NT. But there's a line where that perfectionist attitude becomes straight up absurd.

I'll keep supporting Night Dive Studios as they keep rescuing classic games from the abandonware graveyard and giving them snazzy ports to modern hardware. I never would have bothered replaying Turok had it not been for their rerelease which is a game I'd argue is fantastic. Hopefully one day they can find a way to bring No One Lives Forever 1&2 and AVP2 onto Steam and GoG. The old games aren't gone but its far easier to make people aware of them when they're released digital.

I was looking forward to this. The DOS version runs like shit on my computer, and while source ports alleviate that issue, I still felt like there had to be a better way to play.

The remaster is amazing. I love how customizable it is in terms of controls and video options. My only gripe is that quick quicksaving makes the game halt for a few seconds which is a bit of a pace breaker. Still, it's a minor issue and probably just something on my end. Either way, this is probably the definitive way to experience Blood.

There's two source ports.

https://m210.duke4.net/index.php/downloads/download/8-java/54-buildgdx This requires Java. Some people don't like Java because of security issues they might have.

https://github.com/nukeykt/NRedneck/releases/tag/Betav5 This one doesn't require Java but I've yet to use it.

God I love this game to death.

 

[Mr. Duck]

It seems to be rather broken compared to fan made ports like NBlood and BloodGDX, better wait for a patch.
