"Today we’ve released patch 1.04 for BloodRayne: Terminal Cut and patch 1.03 for BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut.

In this update for BloodRayne: Terminal Cut:

- Textures on mutates and other models have been restored to how they originally appeared in the console release of BloodRayne.
- Japanese is now included as a playable language with fully voiced audio.
- Improvements have been made to the rendering of reflections on water.
- Miscellaneous bug fixes have been made.

In this update for BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut:

- Music and ambient tracks missing from the original release of BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut are now included in the game.
- The Twisted Park fight with Ephemera has been rebalanced to more closely match the difficulty of the original console release of BloodRayne 2 (rocks are now easier to destroy).
- Images in the unlockable Slideshows of the Extras menu now display at a higher resolution and with improved scaling.
- An issue where English lines of dialog would occasionally play when playing the game in Russian has been fixed (note: you must set the language of the game to Russian in the GOG Galaxy client for cutscenes to play in Russian).
- Miscellaneous bug fixes have been made.

For both games, new wallpapers have also been added to the GOG Extras folder for the game! We appreciate all the feedback we’ve received in this forum and the enthusiastic reception to the Terminal Cut editions of BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2. We hope you enjoy these updates and additions!

Best,

Because it's profitable.

Such companies know that a number of older gamers(or younger gamers drawn to older games) will buy them....and if they remove the older versions from sale then people have no choice(short of old disc copies and sailing the high seas) but to pay the newer prices.

Take Shadow Man, for example: the new version is now on sale at around 2x+ what the original cost at full price

From what they've said, I assume character textures have been replaced with the console ones and everything else still uses the original PC ones. Unless they only changed them on the mutants. In any case, the mod I linked is the best one available.

No idea but as there is mention of it, I assume not. Also, I was not aware of missing voice lines. Can you please specify?

This is specifically mentioned in the changes, so yes.

Seems to be, yes. I just tried it.

Even on flags, crates, posters, environment etc.?

The horruhhhh... The horruhhhh...

Yes. Crates, pictures, posters, framed pictures on a table ect.

Great. Thanks. Seems like we finally got an official PC version with the original textures.

I already have both the legacy version of 1 and 2, the remasters and the Betrayal game, but the bundles still appears as not owned to me. Is that a bug/misconfiguration of the bundles or is there something exclusive to them?

Nah. Happens regularly with a ton of other games. Just a few examples:
Buy Trine Ultimate Collection - Trine 4 will still be marked as not owned.

Buy Ancestors Legacy Complete Edition - Special Edition will still be marked as not owned.

What exactly do you mean?
