Heretic - Fully Remastered

[@michaels_madness]

This was such an incredible game.. used to play this, doom, duke, hexen, quake, unreal, unreal tournament with my dad. Some of the absolute best memories I have from my childhood. Thank you for uploading this. Looks amazing.

This game was definitely a part of my childhood PC game favorites. SNES and Playstation 1 & Nintendo 64 were also the other parts of my life as a young gamer. Despite how good games look these days, the nostalgia will never fade when seeing these classics.

You just brought so much memories and happiness to this 42 yo 😂 Man, this game really was a masterpiece, just downloaded your work and it is IMPRESSIVE 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Is there a way to play it with a PS4 controller? I tried it but cannot get to configure it properly. Loved the Hexen remake as well!

[@DARTHVRNET]

I'm glad you like it, enjoy it ;) Although I wouldn't say it's my work, much of the credit goes to those who made the mods. As for playing with a controller, it works perfectly with my PS4 controller, although I use the DS4Windows program for more compatibility. Try it: github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases/tag/v3.1.7

[@DaveChC]

@@DARTHVRNET Thanks a lot, I installed it but still cannot configure it properly, the movement is completely erratic (always looks up), I guess I am missing something on the setup.

[@ADR69]

​@@DaveChCprolly too late but these games used the home and end keys for look around and movement maybe try to map them differently? Also the ps4 controller has an adapter that adds 2 buttons on the back if that helps

[@janark4078]

@@DaveChC You may either emulate the XBox controller (with DS4Windows or Steam) or emulate the PS4 controller and modify the controller settings in the game as follows: 1st: Strafing, 2nd: Moving Forward, 3rd: None, 4th: None, 5th: Looking Up/Down, 6th: Turning

[@terrapinflyer273]

Xeotroid has remixes available for Heretic, Hexen, and all the classic Doom games. There's also the SC-55 Music Packs which sound very good. And a Hexen Remastered Soundtrack floating around somewhere. I think the last one may have been lost by the internet (last time I checked I wasn't able to download it), but I have it stashed away somewhere :P

Wow, I tried playing it some time ago but couldn't finish it. This is even better I'm going to try it again. Thanks.

[@galenonline]

Wow, excelente tu remasterización, me quito el sombrero, estaba a punto de hacer un gameplay de heretic en streaming, y lo hare con tu mod, quede muy satisfecho con lo que hiciste, imagino que la textura que tienes en el video es por la RTX? ya que instale el juego y corre genial, pero no es la misma textura, igual es un gran aporte, muchísimas gracias por remasterizar un clásico de mi infancia.

[@fideliseaortiz8276]

Excelente Juego... te Felicito... Muchisimas Gracias.

[@DARTHVRNET]

Gracias, pero el mérito es de los modders por haber creado los mods, y por supuesto de Raven por crear el juego.

[@internetuser6602]

Me encanta lo bien que has utilizado la palabra "remastered" porque has mantenido el aspecto y gameplay original pero mejorando a nivel visual lo que ya había sin hacer que el juego pierda su verdadera esencia original. Muchos videos de internet tratan la remasterización utilizando mods demasiado invasivos: es decir que cambian demasiado el aspecto de las texturas o sonidos, por no hablar del propio gameplay. Estos mods hacen una reinterpretación propia del material original del juego, que por una parte eso está muy bien, pero que al final, con o sin darse cuenta, terminan alejados de lo que significa el término remasterizar. Pero eso no ha ocurrido en tu caso y te has mantenido fiel a este concepto así que has hecho un trabajo impresionante. Se nota que lo has cuidado al milímetro :O

[@DARTHVRNET]

Gracias por tu comentario. Sí, solo buscaba remasterizar el aspecto audiovisual (y que se mantuviera fiel) sin tocar el de la jugabilidad. Sin embargo, quiero dejar claro una vez más que yo no he hecho ninguno de esos mods, simplemente los he seleccionado y juntado.

[@andymonroe3910]

This gives Heretic a new vibe. But awesome!

[@jothanla]

está bacán ... gracias por el aporte ... te seguire por si haces mas mods HD ... GRACIASSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@felgoz777]

Hola amigo, felicitaciones por tu gran trabajo es realmente increíble. Para poder jugarlo en un mac que tengo que hacer ? (tengo GZDoom instalado)

[@DARTHVRNET]

Bueno, el mérito es de los que han hecho el mod, yo solo los he combinado. Sobre lo de jugarlo en un Mac, no te sabría decir porque nunca he usado uno, siempre he tenido PC con Windows (o MS-DOS en el pasado).

[@H2VPROEternal]

I can confirm that this works well with Hexetic WAD so it has Hexen and Heretic weapons but the projections of weapons needs shaders for it. All I did was make sure the Hexetic WAD was added to the Batch file for HD with Gore. Its excellent. Even Korax and Heresiarch an hexen villains can be summoned.

[@Arkl1te]

Nice, ahora falta un mejor banco de sonido para la claw orb y un reemplazo para la última arma que tira pelotas de pinball 😂

[@DARTHVRNET]

La verdad es que esa arma es de las peores en un shooter clásico, personalmente prefiero no usarla a no ser que me quede sin munición en las demás.

Props for the effort to whomever made this, but I think there is nothing wrong with the original graphics. The graphical fidelity doesn't make a game better, the art direction does, and heretic has a great one.

They are pixelated but in 3D? I added voxels to some sprites of the game, so they looks pixelated, but have an 3D effect. It is a mod that I added later, they are not in the video.

@@DARTHVRNET ok, that's it. Yes, barrels and potions are pixelated but your video doesn't show. So you want the items being pixelated?

[@ГеоргийИванов-й6ю9ш]

That's parallax mapping mods. Looks like shit. Like everything is covered with a thick layer of wax. Why 90% of people recording Heretic/Hexen videos use this shit is beyond me. Same goes for all this Hexen mods turning the game into some kind of RPG instead of FPS. Upscaled weapon sprites are really great though.

[@nidhipgupta4462]

it gives it a cartoony look in contrast to a realistic ine which i feel preserves the artstyle of the game even though i personally feel a realistic texture in place whould be better

[@pretzelboi64]

A lack of experience and confidence. When people try to get into graphics programming, they often try to impress by adding glow and normal maps to everything but it just looks lame and amateurish. Mastery is about understanding that less is more and focusing on quality versus quantity
