What blood port is the best/most accurate?

[Bokanowski]

Do we have a consensus?
I am curious.
What is your preferred port and why do you use it?

[kiper]

Best port and the closest one to the orginal in my opinion is nBlood

[IcarianXT]

BloodGDX, it's based on leaked alpha source code.

[randir14]

BloodGDX would probably be the most accurate but I can't stand playing it because of the frame pacing issue and bad mouse control.

[BurgerJoe]

I'd just play dosbox if I want a more accurate experience

[Smufius]

The dosbox one.

[Domi]

NBlood.

[DokiDokiWangFest]

NBlood is very new but he is updating it and it feels nice and is super easy to use and i have had no problems yet.

On BloodGDX there is no wall crossing bug so I really doubt this port is more accurate than nBlood which have this bug

Trick starts 1m58s
On GDX this trick is impossible

GDX has a wrong colour palette and different physics, so puzzles are... well.

Yeah, with the broken difficulty/damage scaling every time you load a save ... well, I guess it's "accurate" since it is the same exact game we are talking about and not a port like the OP asked for.

yeah the colors are WAY off in GDX and ruins the atmosphere since Blood has a lot of dark/light grays that gives it a unique look in darker areas. Imo at its current state FS is pretty decent, but NBlood is good as well.

Nblood is accurate but it lacks features

GDX has a lot of features, but has suttering issues and slight visual inaccuracies.

FS is a bit of both.

I'd say NBlood. I just started using it, didn't know about it before since it seems to be quite new. It's the most accurate experience I've had so far, much better than FS, but it lacks options and features. It nails the basics though! Too bad that it doesn't play cinematics as far as I know. CD music works great with ripped files.

Cutscenes are working in the newest version. You have to copy the "movie" folder from your Blood CD to your NBlood folder. If you have the GOG version of One Unit Whole Blood, the files "game.ins" and "game.gog" are cue and bin files respectively, and can be renamed as such and you can use whatever virtual drive/iso extractor you want on them. No idea how the Steam version is packaged...

The music pack from MusicallyInspired[sc55.duke4.net] works great if you want some Roland SC-55 renders of the MIDI music. Create a folder named "autoload" in your NBlood folder and make sure autoload is enabled in the NBlood launcher.

I also found some skyboxes based on the original skies that were made for BloodGDX that work great in NBlood, but you need to create a def file to load them. I could put a prepackaged file for that up on Dropbox or something if anyone is interested...

Thanks I didn't know about that.

I can also say that the steam movie files are packaged the same as GoG
