The Overlook Hotel map idea.....(Blood 1)

Duke3D has a map of the Overlook Hotel why not Blood? (Seriously I thought
that Duke Nukem didn't fit the horror genre but this map did scare the s*** out of me though and I thought Blood might have been the best choice for this map)

Does anybody else agree?

... *sigh* Oh well. There are those who do not share our fanaticism. Blood DOES have the Overlooked Hotel. Episode 2.

Yeah but it didn't look like the actual Overlook Hotel from Stanley Kubrick's film....

I thought in Duke3D it was "Hotel Hell".

And who gives a damn if it didn't look like the actual hotel?

Gimme a break....

*sigh* You guys don’t get it or what? Just read the info and look at the screens.
Yes, Blood has E2M4 ‘Overlooked Hotel’(yes, yes, you’re damn right, genius boy!

) But it has almost nothing in common with the ‘real’ Overlook hotel from the movie. Well, except for the name and for the maze with Jack.
Yes, Duke has a ‘Hotel Hell’ level, but I don’t think it has anything to deal with the topic.
This guy with all his redrum stuff is trying to recreate that very Overlook from The Shining movie using even the similar textures.
But who would try to recreate Overlook using Blood? Personally I think it’s hardly possible. This guy’s work is copyrighted first. Besides, is anyone here (except for ÐÐ) good at mapedit? I don’t think so!

The 'Overlooked' has better room-service

I've only seen the Shining once, and that was like 4 or 5 years ago. I tend to forget things.

And I used to have incredible skill/age with mapedit, back when I was 7 and all. I made some fully working levels, even if they WERE crap.

I suggest you to read The Shining then.

And for those Blood level designers who would think of creating something like that I suggest to start with less complicated scenes, like the house from the Evil Dead.

Yes, defenetly the evil dead house, btw, version 1, 2 or 3 of that house?

Evil-dead from 2nd film, then less tree-rape, but nicer wood-shed.

And another idea. Any1 seen Dusk-till-Dawn?

Here's an idea: someone build the map for Transfusion. A proper 3D environment for those multiple floors, plus (eventually) all the effects of Blood.... actually I've never seen this movie so I don't know what the hotel looks like, but I figured I'd throw in that idea just the same.
