My step-dad, who was not a gamer at all just walked into a game store probably the last day before stores closed for Christmas in 97. Picked out something cool and got me this. I was 7 and was too chicken to play it unless my friends were over lol. Playing this almost 30 years later w my coworker and really appreciate some of the level building and weapon design. The overwhelming sense of not knowing where tf to go but having to figure it out still persists! BTW this looks awesome dude!
@@MiguelXisto1 maybe I'm not a trve gamer but I became obssessed with Hexen: I found the first secret level (and the rest fo them) just by wandering and getting in everywhere I could before finishing Seven Portals (and any main level fron there).
@@hebermoreno7963 haha. It was just a joke mate. Hexen is one of those games that i wish everyday that somoeone makes a proper remake. Very few games match the opressive and at the same time immersive atmosphere Hexen has.
Man I remember playing this all the time back in the day! Hexen is awesome and it was so different then the other fps around that time. This looks awesome👍🏻
I used to rent this game from blockbuster when I was a kid, I'd keep it for 2 weeks at a time and have a 10 dollar late fee every time. This remastered version looks magnificent! The lighting effects are great
I love it. While the game loses a lot of its retro look, the retro styling with mixed with the vivid, crisp graphics, and the either real or fake ray tracing adds such depth to hexen.
Wonderful! It would be even more nice if some attacks like punches have updated animation (punches in Hexen 2 rock) and broken glass too instead of looking like paper.
GZdoom truly is an epic piece of software. Ive played through the entire DOOM series and soon heretic just using it. Wish it allowed for all the games in this era. Star Wars Dark Forces, all of them. IM at a point where i build a really awesome PC these days..........and end up playing mid 90's games lol.
Uno de mis juegos favoritos ahora y siempre...nunca olvidaré como me perdí en wasteland...con ese miedo de caerme en los abismos de caves of circe...o en la final contra korax...gastando todos mis ítems y mi arsenal😍
I truly miss the old games the ideas n masterminds we had back in the 90s were unmatched,between Mortal Kombat to Xbox Halo 2 they made gaming what it is today love n passion
I remember playing the original game when I was younger. It scared the crap out of me. The sounds some of the enemies made (like the afrits) were frightening...and in this remaster of Hexen, it's far more creepier.
Thank you very much my friend for giving the links to ready-to-play games, it saves me time and work to play the game and figure out how to put together. I appreciate it very much. Keep doing it and thanks for the games and videos. You are great ✌️😁👏
i never knew Hexen, and it's amazing how i just discover this game with a video like this. i am very impressed by the quality of the graphics and the many details on it in any case. AAA studios of nowadays should take notes about graphical details like on this game
Looks like you are confusing between Hexen and Shadowcaster. The latter was indeed made with unbelievable, insane level of detail, while the former was almost an epitome of slacking, in comparison. If you want a great old-school FPS game that dials detailing to 11, - try Realms of the Haunting. (beware the puzzles though, they are real)
Wow this looks amazing. Not for me, i prefer these sorts of games to have their original looks but damn i cant deny how gorgeous this is. Its like the doom/hexxen/wolfenstein version of the "hd2d" rpgs.
Thanks, although the hard work is on the creators of the mods, I just combined them. I haven't tried playing multiplayer, so I don't know if it works or how to play.
Is that enemy death scream sound from Final Fight 2? Hahaha... The bump maping is strong here. I like it, make textures more crispy. Now I just want a Wrath of Chronos mod compatibility and it would be perfection.
Nice, Hexen is my favorite game to live in instead of real life for some time when I was a kid. Maybe one day there'll be more smooth sprites replacement and more realistic textures and shapes of stones, wood, etc.. I also not sure if it's possible to create such a good enemy sprites with 3d. Maybe there'll be some technique to visualize sprites that doesn't flatten if you see it from above or below.
I mean... I can appreciate the effort and work behind those mods but for me half of the charm of these games are the original low-res pixelart sprites, textures and low poly enviroments of the doom engine.
@@DARTHVRNET todo lo que sea 90s de pc es la bomba amigo, aunque sea un mod crutre, el solo volver a verlos a muchos "grandulones" nos hace caer una lagrima, y no quedamos a ver tu video, yo hasta me los descargue para ver en mi lcd XD , o sino me pongo a jugarlos, raspando pasa :D Y tambien sirve para conocer clasicos que ni hemos jugado, algunos muy buenos, en esa epoca de poca tecnologia y mucha imaginacion! Animos! ;) (Y)
I liked Heretic and Hexen more than Doom. Imagine if ID Software kept those two games over the years and made them like Doom Eternal today. Gaming companies just figured that mideval wizard-like games were meant to be 3rd person, so it ended.
A little unrealistic the torch metal-like-texture and a little lighter than life those weapons in contrast with the dark halls other than that nice graphics very detailed and creative environments and amazing creepy sounds achieved!!!!!!!!!
imo changing some sounds changes entire perception and memories about this game. there was different sound when warrior punches 3rd punch. looks awesome in general, but i have mixed feelings.
These old gems keep getting better and better. You really have to play as baratus to get the full experience in my opinion. I had an absolute blast playing it when I was a kid. Thank you for keeping the memories alive... 💖
We need another new doom classic style game made like this from the ground up with new maps this is what i was hoping for when they announced a new doom game but instead we got the 2016 style and i hate it as for me it isn't what doom was anymore they turned it into a unreal tournament style quake arena with silly wall climbing pole swing and silly shotgun with a grabbing hook rifle style guns. They had it right when they made eternal right at the beginning when you enter the church it felt like the direction i thought it was going for but then after that it was just another some old first person halo type game with doom enemies thrown in. I guess its to much hard work to make maps with this type of level design with maze type puzzles and hidden rooms as it's to sophisticated for them to go back to and instead do the easy route big open rooms and outside area to much for them to handle going back with proper map level of this type design. The only thing about this nicely remastered mod is the enemies and weapons wasn't remade to fit with how the maps have been remade
Its one of the 1st texture packs I've seen w/o any scaling issuses. Also the paralex is not to much - its looks nice and smooth, I like the shining effects on metall and ice. The Skytextures are really awesome, well made light effects. Sounds is a different thing - some new sounds are well (item pickups etc.), Monster and Playerclasses arent so well choosen, but its my own opinion. but I also see some of the 1st texutrepacks in yours and they was horrible - the steps for example they are so diffuse und there was somelike of bilinear filtering on it. In Conclusion (10 Points are max) I would give your project 8 / 10 (sounds excluded, because its a easy replacement possible)
Well, this is not really my project, I have only collected some mods that exist for this game and I have put them together making some adjustments to my liking. But I agree with the sound effects, some are more accurate than others, it's not the best part.
Some objects, as they were sprites, have remained, and ettins are also sprites. Where is the full 3d and rounded models?? And this is a remake, in your opinion?!
I remember how excited I was watching my dad play this on his old Mac when I was a kid. He'd rotate between this, Doom and MYST. I miss those times.
You made me feel very old now

Looks better than games being released in 2023. 🤯
It's strange that a niche old game like Hexen has such a dedicated 'fan base'. Small but passionate.
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
This game is THE SHIT! Run at 60kph to whack a giant fire spitting dragon in the face with an axe, hell yeah!
because these classic video games were unique gems, unlike mediocre mass produced modern ones
Man, this is beautiful. Hexen is my all-time favorite and this is a dream come true.
In my book no one can call themselves a true gamer if never got stuck in the Seven Portals area and got through with it.
@@MiguelXisto1 maybe I'm not a trve gamer but I became obssessed with Hexen: I found the first secret level (and the rest fo them) just by wandering and getting in everywhere I could before finishing Seven Portals (and any main level fron there).

My favourite 90s FPS gloriously upgraded! This looks amazing! 👍👍
Awesome beyond belief. Amazing work that keeps the soul of the original intact, and that is very difficult to pull off successfully. Simply stunning.
yeah so awesome to play with one weapon fo a half an hour
@@ttham2 how old are you?
this is just applying bloom to a game from 1995
Man I remember playing this all the time back in the day! Hexen is awesome and it was so different then the other fps around that time. This looks awesome👍🏻
There is no game like Hexen...i have played it countless times and its an unique experience!

Dude this is one hell of a badass remake, Hexen is by far one of my all-time favourite games! 🤘🏻
Hexen and Heretic were my favourite games. I spend a lot of time for crossing levels. But this graphic is stunning :)
I love Hexen 1!!
It was amazing!
Congratulations
Oh man, this is amazing. Hexen is one of my favorite 90s FPS games. Great work, dude!
I love Hexen. I think because it looked like something I wasn’t supposed to play as a kid. Awesome job
Wonderful!
It would be even more nice if some attacks like punches have updated animation (punches in Hexen 2 rock) and broken glass too instead of looking like paper.
The phantom range of the attacks are insane
That punch lands from a solid 8 ft away but it looks fun

Very nice. The only thing that it misses is some quality 3D models to replace the sprites.
People are so damn talented!
Whow this looks awesome. Btw did you see the last Xbox showcase a week ago? The director was wearing a Hexen shirt
Yes, I saw it (although it was yesterday). Maybe it means id Software is working on a new Hexen. We'll see...
Es muy impresionante! Definitivamente el mejor remake que he visto de este juego, deberías subir otro gameplay en otro nivel del juego. Saludos!!
Love how you punch the ground to get the monsters' attention. "Get some!"
Heh... Wrong game.
I truly miss the old games the ideas n masterminds we had back in the 90s were unmatched,between Mortal Kombat to Xbox Halo 2 they made gaming what it is today love n passion
I'm a bit late to the party but I gotta say that that is *STUNNING* ! Thank you for sharing!
Love it. Love everything about it. Thank you and thank you and thank you all over again!
De locos. Vaya trabajazo... gracias y enhorabuena xD
Brother thank you for this! It's an absolute stunner!
está guapísimooooooo. estoy viendo el vídeo y lo estoy disfrutando mucho. Voy a hacer un video jugando en el Zdoom de VR. te taggeo cuando lo suba
GREETINGS MORTAL!))) Good work of remake developers! Played it on PS1 and PC.

Hexen/Heretic games are one of most iconic titles...Respect guys from Raven
I like the chanting inside the music. It is beautifully Haunting.
One of my favorite games of all-time!

This is how it looked back then when I played it, dark and glorious.
I feel like this is the game Romero had in mind when he first conceived of the idea for Quake.

wow i played this game all the time as a kid. could never beat the seven portals lol. this looks awesome

Its like the doom/hexxen/wolfenstein version of the "hd2d" rpgs.
Muchos gracias for your mega download! All mods in one!!
Omg! This is absolutely BRILLIANT! Much love for your hard work. Is there a way to play multiplayer with your pack? Have an awesome night!!
Thanks, although the hard work is on the creators of the mods, I just combined them. I haven't tried playing multiplayer, so I don't know if it works or how to play.
Much love to the creators and much love to you for also bringing it to light. Always wanted an updated Hexen! 😁@@DARTHVRNET
This looks really good. My one issue playing pre-Internet was getting lost :p
Maravilloso. Muchas gracias
I bought this game along with Heretic (combo) when I was a kid at a Best buy.
And a few years ago played it again on PC (online)
a mix of 2d sprites + 3d map + bump mapping
Love those sprites! 👍
Is that enemy death scream sound from Final Fight 2? Hahaha...
The bump maping is strong here. I like it, make textures more crispy.
Now I just want a Wrath of Chronos mod compatibility and it would be perfection.

Absolutely Beautifully
Funny, this is how i remember it looking LMAO
Nice vid, thanks
Increíble 😀👍👍
This was my crack on my N64. Looks STUNNING
Glorious. Gods work.
18:18 I love the sound the fighter makes.
You should remaster the rest of Hexen! This is AWESOME! 👍👍👍
Nice to see this game Upmastered.
the texture is so cool
People would lose their shit if it looked like than back in 1995, especialy those shiny bumpy surfaces , impressive!
Always loved this game. Not as much as doom but somehow more than doom 2...looks great like this :)
круто выглядит, воспользуюсь твоими настройками👍🔥
I mean... I can appreciate the effort and work behind those mods but for me half of the charm of these games are the original low-res pixelart sprites, textures and low poly enviroments of the doom engine.
I also love the original low-re pixel art, but it's great to have several options to play it the way you prefer.
What’s funny is they sound human like when they die 😂
But? I love it, and this needed the upgrade, and this doesn’t disappoint 👍
Looks pretty modern. Original mod creator should close a deal to release this officially on Steam as a remaster.
Increíble trabajo, felicidades! Quiero una copia!
Amazing. I love Hexen
Looks fantastic!
this is beautiful

Es hermoso 🤩
Masterpiece
I remember playing this.
Needs smoother animations but damn man this is still close to perfect.
Yeah, warriors had the most interesting gameplay.
Flying and pursuing the dragon to kill it with axe. That was very unexpected
hello and thanks for the video! one question: which mod provides the lightning effects of the fighter's axe?
😍
i love this

Please be ethical and pay me large amounts of blood money to set it up for you. ;)
