Blood Revival Proposed

A post on The Postmortem by Jason Hall poses a question to the Blood community about the possibility of bringing back Blood in its original form for PCs as well as new platforms for the old-school first-person shooter (thanks Gamer's Hell via Evil Avatar). Here's word on this from the former Monolith CEO and King of Teh MONSTARS:
Hello,

My name is Jason (Jace) Hall and some of you may know of me.

I have been contemplating the idea bringing Blood back and was wondering how people might feel about it or if they were interested in helping me to do it.

To be clear, I am thinking of bringing the ORIGINAL Blood game back as it was, with functionality alterations/enhancements that are similar but superior to ZDAEMON's. I would also make it work on all platforms, and not just PC. There are other things as well...

I have a very specific vision in mind for what I'd like to do, but before I go off and do it - I wanted to speak directly with the Blood community and see what the thoughts are.

My goal of course is for this all to be free, and all about gameplay and fun. You can rest assured that I have the resources to bring BLOOD back properly but like I said, I'm hoping to have the community participate in all this if it wants to so we can all do it together. This site is great and it would be great to see the Blood community grow!

What do you all think?

Jace

I got an i7@3Ghz, 800x600 is just not pleasant.
There has to be a faulty DOSbox configuration. Perhaps a bad choice of video rendering. I played Blood 1 from GOG.com with 800x600 (DDraw) on a Phenom II with no problems at all.
I've tried everything, from d3d/gl/ddraw, to dosbox svns, different configs, the glide version of blood... Even on my old C2D@3ghz the game ran with the same performance. It is something like this:
640x480: >30fps
800x600: >24fps
1024x768: >18fps
