First of all I want to quote that the fans has been sayed in the E3 2014...

Hellraid is the Game Heretic Fans have been Waiting For, Co-Optimus


Hellraid's Savage meaty combat surpasses Skyrim's swordplay, PC WORLD


This series of torture chambers looks decidedly Next-Gen, Gameinformer


The attention to detail makes Hellraid stand out, Entertainment Buddha


So, I want to say that this game have some feelings and conceptual art from Hereteic and Hexen.

What do you think?

Take a look of a little animation of an enemy http://hellraid.com/img/feature_second_2.webm

More info would be needed, because hexen wasn't exactly the most exciting thing in the world. Heretic was pretty much a doom-clone by itself. Doing the melee combat right and making it fluid would be a huge thing I would expect.

The info is already available in the net, I can say that Hellraid have a lot of features like:
  1. Play in Single Player
  2. Or in 2-4 Players Co-Op
  3. Three game modes
  4. Story
  5. Missions
  6. Arena Mode (enemy spawn waves)
  7. Customization for your Character
  8. Unlock Skills from a Class Tree
  9. Inmersive in FPP Combat
  10. Fight with a wide variety of weapons
  11. Craft devastating weapons
  12. Adaptive AI
  13. And more...

Hellraid is a Unreal Engine 3 based game, and this has been created like a standalone game for consoles, mobiles, tablets and PC.

Saw a preview quite some time ago.
Was a bit interesting. And I found the fluid combat pretty appealing, especially as it's similar to Oblivion and better than Skyrim.
Oblivion has pretty fluid, non rigid animations.

Damn, I've always been fascinated by Hexen and Heretic. I hope this can bring what I loved in them, and more. Definitely going to keep an eye out on this.

I'm definitely excited for this. I loved Heretic and Hexen, and dark fantasy type stuff in general. So, yeah, this seems right up my ally.

I like a lot Heretic and Hexen but Hellraid looks really slow in the actions, looks really easier than Heretic or even Hexen.... There is the "Level UP" system (i dont like that :/ ), some ennemies waves, not a lot of weapons (it seems) i prefer really the old system of Heretic (or Hexen), like doom, even if it's not as dynamic as doom, you had a lot of weapons, a lot of ennemies (fast paced action), a lot of items You must use to help you in the fights, and the moves were really faster.
Hellraid seem to have a hexen atmosphere but again a game who want use the system of a lot of recent fps......too bad...i don't think i will buy it.
I bought Zigurrat, i was pretty disappointed....... Hellraid looks like to be like Zigurrat but with a true mapping....
The only nextgen FPS who want to be like the old ones, seems to be Toxikk and the fourth DOOM but not sure it will be very good...... (some friends told me Toxikk is very good but i wait the v1).

Anyways, i still prefer Heretic/Hexen......with the fan wads who give us more fun! (i need to finish Master of Chaos Heretic with the new weapons and monsters, its so well made : p )

There is so much things We can do with the old system of FPS like DOOM, Quake or Heretic, but people doesnt know how to take it and make it more complex or idk.....
