insertwackynamehere Posted May 25, 2003 Does anyone remember Blake Stone? I was just thinking about how cool it would be if they remade it like they did with Doom and Wolf. Any other old games they should bring back, modernized? 0 Share this post Link to post
Grimm Posted May 25, 2003 Blake Stone was mediocre. Remake Commander Keen!!!!! :) 0 Share this post Link to post
insertwackynamehere Posted May 25, 2003 Hmmm... That's a good idea. A sidescroller, but with modern graphics. 0 Share this post Link to post

Szymanski Posted May 25, 2003 IIRC there's an edge mod for Blake Stone. As 3Drealms own Blake I wouldn't expect a new game out anytime soon. They should bring back Syndicate 0 Share this post Link to post
EllipsusD Posted May 25, 2003 A Blakestone mod for Quake 3 would be pretty cool. As long as it's Aliens of Gold... the other one sucked. 0 Share this post Link to post
jute Posted May 25, 2003 it was always awfully nice of the enemy to keep you supplied with health via the vending machines. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted May 26, 2003 pregnant with worms said:it was always awfully nice of the enemy to keep you supplied with health via the vending machines. Yes. Also, it beat Half-Life to the whole 'helpful scientists' thing by about 4 or 5 years. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted May 26, 2003 Blake Stone was awesome. I had the registered version of that before I even had registered Doom, I think. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kinsie Posted May 26, 2003 Someone should bring the Blake Stone universe back in a Unreal/HL2 mod. 0 Share this post Link to post
toxicfluff Posted May 26, 2003 If anyone does want to make a Commander Keen platform mod, they can use the sidescroller engine-type thing I'm using for my Doom sidescroller mod. 0 Share this post Link to post

dsm Posted May 26, 2003 I hated that game. The weapons were lame, colourful toy guns (even worse than Q3A's) that were basically un-cool versions of the Wolf3d weapons with the exception of the plasma-gun-thingy that would launch a blob at the enemy and explode causing several enemies to explode around it (which was the only cool weapon). It was probably the first game that made me dislike NPCs in a game - those damn scientists kept getting in your way so that you'd end up killing them with a peashooter. It was also the first game where I got pissed over "terminator-like" enemies that would barely flinch when shot. It had some nice ideas though (vending machines). 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted May 26, 2003 I borrowed Blake Stone back in the day and played to for like 10 minutes before it annoyed me too much. 0 Share this post Link to post

That game was great. It had like a million things I hadn't seen in other games before then. Vending machines, NPCs, enemies that got back up after you thought they were dead, enemies that spawned from pods, etc, etc. And that was just the first episode. I liked the sounds in it a lot, but the guns were pretty lame looking for the most part, and that one old guy kept coming in every other level to annoy you. 0 Share this post Link to post

DooMBoy Posted May 27, 2003 They need to remake Heretic and/or Hexen using the Doom3 engine. I can only imagine what Raven could do with that kind of power. 0 Share this post Link to post

However, I don't mind Blake Stone, even though it sometimes is annoying with all the colors, because I remember playing it as a little kid, like Doom, and Duke 1,2,3 so it has emotional value. 0 Share this post Link to post

Anyway, it's not as much a matter of people not remembering - it's just that the Raven guys don't seem to feel like it, judging by a thread I read on ravensoft.com. 0 Share this post Link to post

jute Posted May 28, 2003 Coopersville said:Catacomb Abyss i agree. actually, someone started to remake it using md2s and other coolness, but now it's abandoned. you can find a little bit about it on the catacomb site on classicgaming.com, since the webmaster there was the one making it. 0 Share this post Link to post
