TDGMods is working on a reimagining of the Blood and Blood II: The Chosen first person shooters called Hypertension. What’s unique about this project is the systems it is appearing on. In 2010, it will be released not only for PC, Mac and Linux computers, but also for the Sega Dreamcast. The Dreamcast’s life cycle just won’t end!
Hypertension will be based on the original game, but will also feature a number of new features. For example, while Caleb will still be around to fight against the various monsters and enemies that assail him, Aurelia is a new 2028 character introduced to expand the storyline. The game will also have some RPG elements that weren’t found in the original game, as characters will be able to talk with NPCs to progress or bribe them for crucial information, modify their weapons to make them more powerful and heal themselves. A single-player deathmatch side mode will also be included.
Blood, the original game, was a Monolith Productions PC game released May 31, 1997 by GT Interactive. It was a first person shooter set in 1928, with an ominous storyline surrounding a man named Caleb who going against a cult called The Cabal and its dark master, which he once served as an elite general, to save his love Ophelia. It even spawned a sequel, Blood II: The Chosen, that was released for PCs on October 31, 1998. The sequel was set in 2028, and once again Caleb is facing off against the same cult, although now The Cabal has become a massive corporation.
There’s even a trailer up on YouTube. Before you click through the link to watch it, be advised that it features graphic violence, lots of blood and strong language. If you’re under 16, you probably shouldn’t be watching it. The trailer makes it look like a pretty good FPS option for people who’re looking for a creepy new one.
