Blood 2 Desecrates GOG
Continuing the story of the original Blood--which hit GOG last week--into the year 2028 with all the usual gore and black humour, Blood II boasts several playable characters.
Blood II made the jump to 3D with one of the earliest versions of Monolith's Lithtech engine, which would later go on to power titles as diverse as Aliens versus Predator 2, The Matrix Online and the No One Lives Forever and F.E.A.R. series.

replyThere are so much games that simply lost their charm and atmosphere when they went 3D. I think this is one of them.

The original was the Build engine...technically 2.5 or something silly.

-
The environments weren't really 3D, just some BUILD hacks.

Didn't mean to sound snide; I spent years building levels for Blood and had a bitch of a time overcoming the 2D nature of the engine.

Not with 6 degrees of freedom you couldn't.

I would have to say that Carmageddon was the #1 game to lose it's personality when it moved to 3D. Blood would have to #2. Blood II is a horrible game.

uh wtf Carmageddon has always been 3d.
Blood 1 was 2d game. you moved on a plain. yes you could jump on ledges but it was all engine hackery. the game had no "depth"-
I meant full 3D with 3D models. It was the same as Blood where it had a 3D world but with 2D sprites. Part II was all 3D.
