Blood: Fresh Supply is now available DRM-free. If you own the original Blood: One Unit Whole Blood, you can get the remaster 5 USD cheaper (the final discount is 5 USD equivalent, and may vary depending on your region and price in local currency). Offer is valid until June 9th, 3pm UTC.

Battle an army of sycophantic cultists, zombies, gargoyles, hellhounds, and an insatiable host of horrors in your quest to defeat the evil Tchernobog. Squirm through 42 loathsome levels filled with more atmosphere than a Lovecraftian mausoleum. Begin your journey armed with a simple pitchfork and earn more effective implements of destruction like aerosol cans, flare guns, voodoo dolls and more!

Original Blood: One Unit Whole Blood from now on will be available as a free bonus with Blood: Fresh Supply.

Karavox: Aaand yet another shameless money-grab on our dear GOG. Just get free fan stuff (hi-rez, bug fixes and so on) instead of it.

I just don't get the people who jubilantly buy the same games they already own over and over again.
I "like" how this and almost every other post questioning the wisdom of rebuying a game with fixes/tweaks one can apply one's self(for the most part) is low rated.

Sometimes blind loyalty(to gog/remake devs) can be bad thing, you know.

Loger13: Nightdive, WHY? ;(
Why delete original as separate item? It's good to have original as bonus for remaster. It's bad not to have ability to buy it as separate item.
avatar
GameRager: Good question. If someone wants to buy the original they have to buy the new version to get it? How is this fair to those who might not want the new version?

avatar
DoomSooth: Anyone who was going to buy the original already has. Why is it bad that they're only available together?
avatar
GameRager: Some might not have the original yet.

avatar
TheGreatDustpan: Snagged. Cheers to the devs for including full Galaxy support. I hope the System Shock and Turok games get updated with the same kind of support one day.
avatar
GameRager: System Shock already has an enhanced edition with many tweaks/fixes.
Yeah, I was referring to the lack of Galaxy support on those games. Overlay, cloud saves, and achievements.

gameragodzilla: Why is that necessary? If you want the original, you can buy this version and just play the original. The Bioshock Remaster had the original bundled in on GOG but didn’t have it separate. Neither did Rune Gold in Rune Classic. I’m only annoyed if the original version just flat out isn’t available, like Doom 3 BFG Edition not including the vanilla version.

Is $5 extra really too much for that many people?
I guess for some it's simply a matter of principle. They will now have to pay about $5 more (don't remember the price for the original blood exactly) just because of additions they don't even want to have. I agree that this is not as bad as completely REPLACING the original but it's still not optimal.

Blood never had a proper source port before. The best we had was BloodGDX and even that is far from perfect. That’s why people are buying it. It genuinely isn’t something we can apply for ourselves, at least as good as this.

Ah sweeeet! I will definitely snag this some day.

I noticed it's co-published on Steam by Atari, but not here. Is Atari avoiding GOG? :-P

dudalb: I won the GOG version of the original, but a five bucks I will take a chance on this one. If I have problems, I still have the original.
Are there any changes in the game play?
No, they used the original files to do this. Should not be changes in the general gamaplay.

usePowerToolz: Can anyone that is critical and knowledgable about mouse input comment on the mouse look improvements?

Really not trying to be disrespectful, but "mouse look is good" doesn't cut it for me.

In other words, is there a limit on the look up or look down? Does the mouse have any acceleration, filtering, smoothing, or any buffer whatsoever? (The original mouse look is terrible, even with the bmouse fix.) Does it adjust to suitably low levels, for example around 35cm/360 at 800 DPI?

If it's true raw input, 1:1, no buffer garbage, then I am 100% in on this purchase. Unfortunately, I have an exceptionally low tolerance for anything besides clean mouse input these days.

Thanks.
I'm not very knowledgeable about the finer technical specifications, however by default mouse acceleration is set to 0% and smoothing is off. There is a limit to how far you can look up or down (a limitation of the game's engine I'm sure), but overall, mouse aim feels MUCH better than it ever has either in Dosbox or fan recreations like BloodGDX (which always felt awkward to me). Mouse input is great, and even with vsync I get no screen tearing whatsoever.

Such a great game... only played it for the first time like two years ago or so, liked it even more than Doom (which is great too). As always it looks like Nightdive put some quality work in as well.

Some people might be on very tight budgets/already have most of the fixes from third party mods/not want the new version on their catalog. :\

5 bucks seems a fair price, though, for those who want the convenience this version offers.

Not to be too rude, but are those really necessary? I guess some might like them, but many of the original users of gog came to gog to get away from the achievment stuff.

Well if we were to look that way, I could potentially take it further by saying I only want to buy Episode 1 and 2 of Blood, or only buying Tomb Raider 1 out of the Tomb Raider Trilogy. That particular principle is not something I understand. The original will still be there, just alongside another version.

Don't know all those fan mods to be honest but some people knowing those already posted that this remaster seems to be even better than those. Still no use to downvote the post (I don't donvote myself at all if not for insulting postings) ... maybe people simply wanted to show their disagreement that the user called this remake a "cash grab". I mean there's actual work in this remaster and it shows - it's also not really expensive ... I would have problems calling it a cash grab - the Filter-Simon remaster... maybe. As I said - I hate downvoting and always prefer to post my opinion which of course might be a different one.

I can get the original blood to play just fine though on my pc....and to me BloodGDX looks pretty damn near to the original/very good overall. As such, I don't see the need for it beyond convenience for some who want such, that is.

GDX requires Java which is why alot of people myself included refused to use it as Java is just a security issue waiting to happen.

NBlood was the closest we got to recently which did a good job. The remaster does things better, though NBlood had a better hud.

If you don't want to be seen as a second class citizen then yes they're necessary. If GOG has the functionality in place to have parity with Steam then it should be taken advantage of. Personally, when I see a game has full Galaxy support it tells me the devs cared about the release here.
