Ziggurat Interactive on November 20, 2020 has released the new and updated versions of the PlayStation 2 and Xbox cult classics of BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2 for Windows 10 and PC. And don’t fret if you already own the games on STEAM or Gog.com, you’ll get a free updated version; too bad I can’t get that for my PS2 right?
To quote Ziggurat Interactive these are the new specs for the updated versions,
- Goodbye Jaggies: Thanks to improved rendering, these versions of BloodRayne run with up to 4x anti-aliasing
- Modern Resolution: The enhanced editions of BloodRayne support display resolutions up to 4K / 3840×2160
- Improved Environmental Effects: Enjoy more immersive environments thanks to improved effects like reflections, water, fog, and shadows
- Use Your Elite Controller: Modern controllers are now supported, thanks to the addition of XInput controller support
- New Language Support: Accessibility is important, and actually understanding the dialogue in a game does wonders for immersion. New localizations include:
- BloodRayne: Terminal Cut: Fully voiced with localized interfaces in English, French, Italian, Spanish, and Russian
- BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut: Fully voiced in English and Russian, plus localized interface and subtitles for French, German, Italian, and Spanish
- …and Much More: Upscaled cinematic videos, lighting improvements, support for uncompressed original textures, and Windows 10 optimization ensure that these are the absolute best versions of both titles
This is exciting, I hope that Ziggurat plans to port these puppies to the PlayStation Store or the Xbox Store. I would buy these in a heartbeat for my current consoles. I don’t really PC game so I will cross my fingers that they decide to port them over, just for me, of course.
