First-person shooters now and then, in all of their gory glory!

Rise of the Triad, an over-the-top gore-fest of a shooter paying a tribute to the 1990s roots of the FPS genre by re-envisioning one of its memorable classics, is available for pre-order for only $14.99 on GOG.com. With your pre-order you'll receive its classic predecessor Rise of the Triad: Dark War, as well as Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold, and Blake Stone: Planet Strike for FREE!

[url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/rise_of_the_triad][/url]From the depths of first-person shooter history a legendary game arises, reborn to deliver yet another generation of gamers onto the pastures red with blood and guts! The title that succeeded in turning the 1994 holiday season into a trigger-happy fragtastic mayhem has been given a new lease on life and is on its way to our computer screens. Sporting top-notch modern graphics and animation it will also retain its original gory-but-funny spirit, skillfully catering both to our nostalgia and modern gaming needs. Yes, Rise of the Triad is coming to GOG.com, and pre-ordering today comes with special benefits!

Rise of the Triad has everything that made its predecessor so memorable, from zany weapons, through gory visuals, down to the frantic multi-player mayhem. Talking about multi-player, our DRM-free version will be mulitplayer-compatible with all other versions, so you'll get to go fragging your friends whatever their preferred game delivery system might be. While the game looks and feels very 2013, the developers went out of their way to recreate that special RotT feel. Just look!

G-Doc: It was released on December 21, 1994. Back then the sales peak, as well as popularity peak, didn't happen as quick as nowadays. Not that many people got to play RoTT in the year of its release. To most gamers RoTT is a game of 1995 :-)

Tarhiel: Ah, thank´s for clarification. Nonetheless, I still think you should stick with the year of release :)
Or just say mid-nineties ;-)

I'm guessing the pre-order offer lasts until the game is released? I don't see a "offer ends" date anywhere.

That is a given, but can you preorder it tommorow? The day before release? On the release day but before the actual release?

Antimateria: Does Rott have some mouse support? If it does not Well it is free! =)

Edit: free for me.. let me suck your nasty toes. ^^
RoTT (using the opengl port) has mouse look, but it's very wonky and quite inexact from my experience. Probably something to do with the fact that it has a modified Wolfenstein engine, not the build engine.

Shall this game use a 'tried and trusted' engine, like Unreal Engine 3, so to speak, or shall it use an entirely new engine... devised for this game?

Pre-ordered either way!
:)

It's unreal 3 engine I think

It is indeed the Unreal Engine 3(There is no such thing as Unreal 3, atleast that has been officialy announced yet).

Is there an expansion waiting in the wings, or a full new installment on the horizon?

@gog when do we find out who won the additional $9.99 game??

Not sure if posted already, but ROTT's level editor will have a "classic mode" that allows levels to be played as if it's the original game.

Pretty cool.

Dang, I was going to pre-order this but I have a Radeon 3820. Is it possible I can downgrade some graphic setting to make it run, or is minimum literally that and I would be wasting my time?

This is awesome. I was wondering if they were going to hide a classic style level in the game or something. Having an editor that lets you make them is even better.
