Quick Look: Rise of the Triad

So excited to see if this is any good.

Sweet, blood.

Got this preloaded, can't wait for it to unlock.

Awwww, yeah! From the podcast, it sounds like Jeff isn't crazy about this, but he wasn't a huge fan of the original either it seems, so I'm curious to hear more. I'd have expected him to love a game like ROTT.

Edit: Oh cool, he seems to be warming up to it.

First-person dogging.

That blood splatter looks amazing.

Awesome!

Finally proper movement speed in shooter.

This looks so baaaaaaaad.

Dog mode?

I may have to buy this game.

I am unreasonably excited for this game.

This game doesn't give a fuck.

I'm loving the 3+ Person Quick Looks

That guitar song during the beginning of a level sounds like Hotel California.

Jolly Good!

This looks terrible, even for a low budget, $15 game.

That is some Doom-ass runspeed going on there.

I actually don't think this looks terrible. Reminds me a ton of Painkiller.

Jolly Good!

Whoa, a video game that's fun? Where did that come from?

No.

This game is fun as hell, it's a proper-ass 90s throwback shooter. I can totally see people making some awesome stuff with the map editor and mod support.

Yeah, my impressions: this is game is literally a graphics/engine lift for a 90s shooter - awesome.

This game makes me smile.

This looks like the best kind of terrible.

all comic books are low rent comic books

The GB crew voice acting in Law of the West was extraordinary.

Alright... Be good....

OK... Nope. I was excite about this; but not anymore.

I'm wasted

I... have no idea how to feel about this.

Yep, I'm convinced. Must buy.

Well color me surprised, but this actually looks like they did a pretty good job. Looks like a quality throwback.

This comic cutscene art looks a lot like Francesco Francavilla's work.

I grew up with Doom, Quake and Duke... and I have to say this feels like someone wrote a love letter directly to some forgotten place in my heart. I'm getting this day one.

And yea sure we've had things like Hard Reset, Serious Sam and Painkiller ... but there's something about this game that's ... I dunno. It's doing something to me that those games just haven't.

You look terrible. Go get a haircut you hippy.

looks like great, dumb fun.

bought based on this QL.

can't wait to play it

At around 17:40 on of those death screams sounds a lot like jeff.

Looks just about as dumb as the original.

I haven't had any priest porridge in forever!

This looks GREAT! Perfect price, too. I'd love to see what a new Blake Stone would look like.

HOLY SHIT

Love me some ROTT, will pick this up at some point.

Oh thank god, this looks like so much goddamn fun.

I really do miss crazy cheat codes in games.

Not quiet ludicrous enough with the gibs. And man it moves waaay faster than FPS' im used to

still for the price it dosen't seem that bad
