Al-fucking-right! I hope this shines a bit more light on this underrated classic. A new level editor sounds promising too, maybe we'll see at least a few efforts for map packs.

Being able to play the game with the remake's soundtrack is a strange option. I honestly like the remake soundtrack for what it is, even if it misses the point on a lot of the original music by turning it all to metal shreds, but I guess it's kind of nice to have there? It doesn't fit classic ROTT itself though. Maybe they're planning to rerelease the remake at some point, I heard it doesn't run quite perfectly on modern hardware.

Hopefully that's something one can address in options.

I still have no interest in the faux retro shooters, I've yet to see one which doesn't look mostly boring (and the manufactured marketing phrase "boomershooter" makes me retch). I like seeing ROTT get a new release because all the existing sourceports are dogshit, and I think the game deserves better, it got overshadowed HARD by Doom 2 back in the day.

I won't buy on launch, I wanna find out whether or not they fucked up, but if it comes out good, then I'm interested.

It's a good game, kid.

I always felt Rise Of The Triad seldom got the attention it deserves in retro FPS circles.

Not sure, I ran WinRottGL, which was ok, though a bit buggy. I'd recommend against installing the included 3D models, because they're ugly as shit and doesn't look as good as the original 2D graphics.

The game is kind of like a more advanced and interesting Wolfenstein 3D dreamt up on a drinking bender, MUCH more arcadey and much more visceral.
