The explosive return of ludicrous gibs!

Rise of the Triad, a very modern take on classic ultra-violent FPS gameplay, filled to the brim with over-the-top humor and gore, and offering hours upon hours of fast-paced crazy action in single and multi-player mode, is available on GOG.com for only $14.99.

After nearly two decades one of the most memorable first-person shooters returns with a blood-dripping, gib-blasting, gun-slinging, rocket-spamming vengeance! The ominous organization known as "The Triad" is plotting to take over the world by force, terror, and apparent nazi symbolism. Is up to the agents of H.U.N.T.--High-risk United Nations Task-force--to stop the evildoers once and for all, preferably by splattering them all over their (not so) secret base walls. Be warned, there are even darker forces at play, here, as the Triad is known to dabble in the occult and demonic worship, as a way of reaching for power to obtain their evil goals. Oh, and it has a dog-mode.

Rise of the Triad: Modern K9 Warfare trailer

Rise of the Triad brings back everything we loved about the first-person shooters of the 1990s. Swarms of enemies, no hand-holding, awesome guns, badass one-liners, a pretense story, and ridiculous amounts of virtual guts flying all over the place--all checked and accounted for. Apart from a diverse and challenging single-player campaign, that pays a tribute to the game's predecessor, the new Rise of the Triad offers many multi-player game modes (the game supports its own DRM-free server network). The game's fully moddable and a robust creative tool comes with every copy, so you can extend your experience indefinitely. All that, for a fraction of the price of most modern FPS games of comparable scale!

We promise, nothing can make a classic FPS fan feel as good as spamming lead at the minions of evil and watching their insides painting the walls red in Rise of the Triad, for only $14.99 on GOG.com

Matthew94: I'm holding off until I see reviews.

The review embargo and holding the demo until post launch makes me very wary.
First impressions: The gore doesn't exactly look right, it looks blocky and the sprites animations from the original almost look better

The game definitely plays like RoTT though, movement speed is fast, FOV is huge, the weapon accuracy seems very accurate to RoTT (or other games of the era)

Edit: Also what's strange is how well the soldiers blend into the environment (grey uniforms and concrete walls), I had a guy shooting at me so close and didn't even see him.

Having a good FOV is encouraging.

Thanks for the reply :)

You can also put it up to 120 max
I need about 20-30 customer comments/reviews, before I make any purchase. I won't buy any game, that has not been tested by the GOG userbase or doesn't have any normal review.

Just look at that games: Eador. Masters of the Broken World. This is a real bugfest ...

RadonGOG: Really, GOG, isn´t this to much advertising for just one old-shool-shooter?
Well, it´s made really cool---but damn, it´s just a shooter and not a hell of a game!
You know this is the new ROTT, right?

Oooh, that might hint at multi-monitor support. I doubt anyone with a single screen display would need 120 FOV.
Well, I'll be dipped in shit and rolled on breadcrumbs.
The first level so far is pretty awesome, it's like a big Arena, you can go in different directions and stuff, the enemy placement is good too, there's always some dudes shooting at you from bastard positions up high. Pretty hard too for a first level

I was playing Quake 3 CPMA and Warsow with 130 fov on a 17" CRT lol
Tempted, but I have a backlog and am very reluctant to try games on release after being burned several times recently. May pick this up another time.

Jesus that's high, I usually play around 100 on a single 4:3 screen and 145 on triple.
Downloading it now. So many games to play, so little time.

Yeah that was a bit overkill :p I play Quake Live, Tribes, etc with 100-106 FOV nowadays (on 22" 16:9 LED)
