Blood, first released in 1997 by Monolith Studios, was the middle child of the big three Build Engine games, sandwiched in between Duke 3D and Shadow Warrior.  Its combination of gory horror-inspired visuals combined with action filled FPS gameplay was a huge hit at the time of release, but has slowly faded in many people's memories.  Both Quake and Half Life loom larger in most people's memories than Blood, and the question must be asked: why?Is there a good reason that Blood has become one of the dark horses of the boomer FPS genre, known mainly to connoisseurs of the genre?  Or has the quality of 2.5D shooters been massively overstated?On this episode, we discuss:WeaponsBlood has a quirky roster of weapons, including a flare gun as pistol, an aerosol can with a lighter, and a voodoo doll sniper.  Are these weapons just silly gimmicks, or do they all serve their purpose as part of your arsenal?Level DesignBloods level design is, for the most part, compact and filled with secrets joining levels together.  Does this create a coherent sense of place, or does the abundance of tunnels just turn the level into an awkward mess?Aesthetics and PresentationBlood's story is very barebones, but is filled to the brim with references to 80s and early 90s horror films.  Can a reverence for a genre of film carry an aesthetic, or is this just a case of Borderlands syndrome where its all references and no substance?We answer these questions and many more on the 113th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast! Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherBlood OST: Daniel Bernstein, Guy Whitmore Retro Hangover Duke 3D podcast featuring Pat! Does Blood truly have the best shotgun in any video game?  Are there any boomer shooters which you think are better than Blood?  What modern game best captures what Blood is all about?  Come let us know what you think on our community discord server!To support the show monetarily, check out our Buy me a Coffee Page!

Sly 2: Band Of Thieves released at a special time in 3D platforming history: the GTA era.  In much the same way that Ubisoft would eventually set the (dismal) standard for open worlds, Grand Theft Auto 3 went on to define how 3d action games should be made.  The three big platforming names of the PS2 - Jax and Daxter, Ratchett and Clank, and of course, Sly Cooper, all radically shifted their macro level design in the wake of GTA's popularity.What does that mean?  It means we've got an open world, instead of the more linear levels of Sly 1.  It means that we've now got 3 playable characters to spice things up instead of just playing as Sly.  And it means that we're moving the focus away from platforming to instead give players a hundred different things to do - minigames galore!But does this wide and splashy approach to a platformer yield a more compelling experience than the more focused and restrained platformers that came before it?  Or did GTA make Sly 2 take a turn for the worse?On this episode, we discuss:In what ways does Sly 2 utilise its open world, both narratively and mechanically?  Is it there just for the sake of it, or does it more than justify its existence?Has the storytelling and atmosphere of Sly 2 improved over Sly 1?  Does the move away from a more abstracted type of platforming actually matter?Does Sly 2 delight with its focus on novel minigames, or does this come at the cost of deeper and more engaging mechanical gameplay?We answer these questions and many more on the 90th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!—Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherSly 2 OST: Peter McConnel—Listen to Pat's appearance on the Retro Hangover Podcast for Duke 3D here!—Use Bobtff under interlacing settings in your emulator for the cleanest visuals

The release of Goldeneye in 1995 was one of the most successful reboots in cinematic history.  Pierce Brosnan's take on Bond was suave and sophisticated, with just a touch of melancholy, which was the perfect fit for a more grounded and serious Bond film.  It had its fair share of silly moments, but there was something special about Goldeneye that made it memorable.So it was no surprise to anyone when just two years later, we got a game based off the movie - Goldeneye 007, released for the Nintendo 64.  The big FPS games at this time were still a long way off mimicking reality, whether it was the brown eldritch hallways of Quake or the satirical and colourful streets of Duke 3D.  Goldeneye 007 strove to hit those realistic notes, being one of the early adopters of headshots, AI behaviour and objective based gameplay instead of just murdering everyone on sight.  And every mission has at least a referential link to an event in the movie, truly putting you in the role of James Bond.But does this all add up to an enjoyable experience today?  While Goldeneye may have been a forerunner of the console FPS, does that necessarily mean it does everything right?  What was once revolutionary back in 1997 might just be quaint and outdated today - and was its approach genuinely better than its PC contemporaries?On this episode, we discuss:How well does Goldeneye 007 tell its story?  Do you remain emotionally invested in its characters and plot just like you were when watching the movie, or does it fall flat?How does the structure of objective based gameplay influence the overall pacing compared to just murdering enemies?  Is the game better for having this structure, and does it execute it well?How enjoyable is the moment to moment gameplay of Goldeneye?  Does running around at lightning speeds and hip firing at goons actually add up to anything substantial?We answer these questions and many more on the 81st episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!—We played Goldeneye 007 on 1964, a custom built emulator specifically created for Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark.  It's bloody amazing, and has support for a mouse and keyboard control scheme as well as a bunch of fantastic visual options including FOV and fps.  Highly recommend getting this if you want to give the game a spin.—Are the objectives in Goldeneye really that obtuse, or are we just being dense?  Which console FPS should we try next - Perfect Dark or Timesplitters?  Is Xena Onatopp the best Bond girl?  Come let us know what you think on our community discord server!

Robert Raulus & Mikko Tamper are an independent Finnish game development team currently working on their debut title White Hell – a retro FPS with traces of sci-fi, fantasy & Finnish mythology. Those may sound like serious topics, but the game takes it’s comedic influence from titles like Wolfenstein 3D, Duke 3D & Shadow Warrior resulting in an ironically goofy atmosphere. Here we discuss the recently released demo, their plans for White Hell, philosophies on game design & how to get these boys PAID. // White Hell: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1378360/White_Hell/ // The Keep: http://inthekeep.com/ //Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/InTheKeep)
