HEXEN - Rebirth of Cronos (Amazing REMASTERED Mod)

[@Aris262]

So Im playing this right now....and I have to say....this 'mod' is pretty much better than any billion dollar gaming company would do...its the remake people want...and it isnt even a remake...well done to the creator...well done indeed.

[@daxx2756]

Well thank you, sadly I (as the main dev) and the Project Leader have never recieved any donations unfortunatly, so basicly we even did this for free.

[@Mazut0]

​@@daxx2756I'm having stuttering issues, seems like a caching issue, I've got a pretty high end system, so it's not the hardware. Any advice?

[@daxx2756]

@@Mazut0 there is an option that says "precache textures" you should use that, the readme also states that. Gzdoom was nevet meant for high end graphics and even what I did there is something it's not easily capable of, so precaching stuff is important.

[@RomainSACCO]

@@daxx2756 what about a crowfunding? This project is awesome, this is the remake we waited for, I'm sure you will obtain funds to maintain, update and finish the project.

[@daxx2756]

@@RomainSACCO it actually is finished, the only thing are a few effects that weren't changed but that's no problem, about crowdfunding, we tried that and we didn't recieve anything.

[@AustinDallasPictures]

This is phenomenal, it looks just how I imagined it back then...I hope it gets finished.

Man, the reflections on the gem in the staff is mesmerizing

[@Cantinhodoxavier]

That's almost perfect. Maybe a little too dark. But outstanding textures !!!

[@Heat7208]

Damn man, I remember almost every sound effect in this game. One that I really loved was the Serpent Staff when you're absorbing your enemies health at close combat.

[@jeffmcalpin2369]

Andrew, can we please have this mod soon? Love this and the Blood mod as well. Please don't deprive us of your talents! I know I'm not alone in this!

[@Nomadnetic]

Fascinating, the lighting looks really good. Captures the moody atmosphere.

It's insane how good this looks good lord. 😮👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻

[@destero8853]

I love the look of the staff, besides all the other great textures of course!

[@MaheshWalatara]

Will it ever be finished?

[@ivanyiattila3547]

The problem with these "remaster" versions is that they are not uniformly beautiful. The backgrounds, the weapons are beautiful, and the pick-up objects are also very good. But. Monsters really don't fit into the picture. And so little light shines on them that they do not prevail at all.

[@Valhalla_Heathen]

Whoa, is this actually a dream come true??? 😍

[@jeffreypeters5578]

reminds me of when i first saw quake darkplaces with all the ultra textures rygels pks nd stuff.....BEAUTIFUL I JUST PLAYED THRU THIS AND DUKE NUKEM 3d and trying to beat BLOOD but jesus its hard one.I had to read a walkthru to get thru some of hexen

[@rinzler9775]

This matches how I rembered it seemed back in 1996.

[@Nukem962001]

This will make me want to replay Hexen again.

[@casorzesesette9162]

Amazing work!!

[@JustPabloRaez]

Looks amazing!

[@JarethGT]

This is how it's done. Looks and feels just like the old game but with modern graphics. Finish this and then do the same with the original Doom and Heretic and I'd pay for all 3 of them.

[@H3llBaron]

Wow fantastic work

[@ZAWFUL]

Looks great I'm just a sucker for pixel art and the HD texture pack just looks really good in comparison IMO.

[@st.pierre2188]

I love this, thx for uploading this, this game is my childhood

[@daxx2756]

Np then, dev here^^

[@J0rdan912]

I've seen a couple of videos and lightning was definitely wrong or not full, and it looked like ass. With proper relighting all these high-quality models and textures looks amazing as it should be 👍👍

[@georgenash3108]

looks great

[@gwang3103]

This would have been a superb remake, if not for the excessively DARK shadows. Brighten up everything a bit more.

[@theleo_ua]

Interesting modification of the rebirth

[@CreepyBlender]

Awesome!!!

[@kawamikazecheant]

Looks great

[@AndroidFerret]

Really amazing !!

[@pmhsgamingnonsense2438]

love to know how to extract those 3d models properly so they can be used for VR

[@johankelerman725]

Absolutely beautiful, this was definitely made with love. How did you get yours to look so good with the lighting and shadows? I got the mod but mine does not look nearly as good yours.

[@andrewdoomer1968]

Unfinished relight mod.

[@matveykorostov]

Greetings, mortal. Are you ready to die?

[@Heat7208]

The ettins in this mod kinda look like the PS1 cutscene cinematic of the game.

[@Portawolf]

Great graphics! Can you make a lay-out to put it for the Steam Deck?

[@PROSTO4Tabal]

Graphically it looks stunning, but I don't like wand hit texture, it looks childish and cartoonish a bit. Overall brilliant medievall settings, parallax, lighting and so on. Hexen is definately worth checking out !

[@EmmanuelEXEf06]

It's not parallax but normal mapping, it works well with light effect beside. Parallax is not good for the sides of the textures.

[@daxx2756]

Dev here, to explain it a bit better, Parallax is a Texture Depth technique which also shifts the textures around with the view, on edge's it'll look like textures are moving over the edges, which doesn't look good, and that's why I decided to go with normal maps only

[@PROSTO4Tabal]

@@EmmanuelEXEf06 I mean bump mapping but I don't know why I wrote parallax. Remember good old 3D Mark bencharks? I think bump mapping was first supported on rendition verite and the matroc g200/400 afair

[@PROSTO4Tabal]

@@daxx2756 Hi. Lots of effort you put into the project. Don't get me wrong complaining. I know game development is very time consuming process.

[@PROSTO4Tabal]

@@daxx2756 One more thing. Who was working on 3D objects? I like them. what software was used 3d studio max, maya or blender ?

[@FACF0416]

Unbelievable

[@tarrker]

Very nice although, it does seem to have all the same problems that modern 3D engine like this always seem to have. The main one being that the dark bits are WAY too dark.

[@bbullae]

amazing!

[@mohicantw]

Hi, Andrew, i am very happy to watch this video. HEXEN was my favorite doom-like game in childhood. I even buy this game form steam. How do i use this mod ? Thank you.

[@andrewdoomer1968]

The mod is called Rebirth of Cronos. link in description. The scene from the video is my attempt to remake the levels for this mod with dark lighting and adding details. Unfortunately, I have abandoned development for now. Maybe I'll come back to this later))

[@Razumen]

I like everything but the monsters. Don't get me wrong, they're very faithfull and well done, but Doom engine monsters just don't translate well to 3D. Their proportions look off, and the game's code doesn't work well with smooth animations. I'd rather have voxel monsters like what was done for Doom. Still, I'm very glad someone made this mod, it's an obvious work of passion and love towards the game.

[@SledgeNE]

Perfect.

[@madiskruusmann302]

Yeah this is not running on the doom engine. Looks more like unity or unreal.

[@zaffronmannoth7133]

Kaa baby kaa

[@Zafarion]

Does something like this exist for Hexen 2?

[@germanaguirrerobles8535]

The weapon shines with a mirror effect like in Doomsday, how did you achieve it? (don't say everything, just a little). Please zip this map ( and more ) and upload it to a link , people want to play it.

[@DanVanDam]

how did you manage to get the HD/3D weapons to show, when i went to it, still shows the original sprites for weapons+mobs. Thanks.

[@nikcamcme]

How do I get this to run. I have the files and even the original game but the batch file just blinks and goes away.

[@fallko76]

Now that's a game :-) Uninterrupted by constant cutscenes (or interactive cutscenes where they play a scene but throw button presses here and there pretending to be a game). Here you play 100%, for exampe GOW or GOW ragnarok how many times I watch cutscene and yawn and think ok ok cut this let me play ok? And even then when they let me play it is just a pre-set path I have to walk, pretending to be a game not a movie.

[@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462]

I want this.

[@jackoneill45]

How do you get the lighting to look like this? When I run it in GZDoom, dynamic lights seem minimal and ambient/sector lighting is still there
