On another note, the pilot ratings in the right of each card are interesting/Funny... Maniac's safety rating for example, or why is it important that 53 pilots have died under Angel's command.

Hunh.... Somehow I had never seen the back of these before. It's an interesting choice that it says the movie was both Written and Directed by Chris Roberts on the back. Chris wrote the original treatment that Droney used as a very loose framework to write his draft from. Chris also...

Since the original twitter thread, a fan recently recovered the Planet Hollywood Rapier and had it transported to his place...

Almost for sure a codec issue... make sure you have an AC3 decoder installed. Something like AC3Filter or another codec pack like K-lite should do the trick

Something is causing the videos to be stretched vertically... Like the videos are filling an actual 4:3 aspect virtual screen by increasing the video height. Just to clarify, the actual in-flight gameplay is not stretched or zoomed? Probably not really a thread that will lead anywhere but...

In some ways the layout here reminds me a bit more of WC2 over WC1, but even WC2 had a lounge in the cutscenes, though I don't think you actually see the bartender in WC2

I assume you mean 'cropped' rather than 'crapped'... anyway Do you mean it's cropping on the sides? Can you provide an example to show how much is actually being cut off on the the sides? Also, is this an issue you are having with the HD videos? or just with the GOG DVD version? IF it's the...

They've been, until very recently game to do actual live action FMV for both C&C and the Need for Speed franchises. I don't see them necessarily going live action, but at the very least I would bet on mo-cap/perf-cap in-engine 3D cutscenes.

There's a couple things to make sure of when installing the upgrades for prophecy. First is to make sure everything runs at each point in the installation process so that you can pinpoint exactly when the game breaks. That said, the obvious first step is to install the actual game with no...

I went back and looked at the previous attempts to use AI upscale tech on the 25th anniversary video and it's impressive how much better this try was over that one. The previous results were... interesting, though not really what I would call an improvement over the source. I had an idea of...

Can you walk us through what you did to get the game running in the first place? Did you have the various upgrade packs working correctly with the DVD videos before trying to swap to the upscaled ones? Which patches did you use and in which order did you install them? EDIT: I should ask, is...

Cool! Are you using Kilrathi Saga as a base to basically port this feature over to Privateer? Either way this is a neat acheivement. I'm partial to cockpits myself but Privateer does have what feels like some of the most limited visibility (at least in the tarsus).

I don't want to dismiss video quality improvements yet either, but the audio is something we definitely would love to have. I did some digging and the previous sample I posted was actually from the 3DO demo and not from the game itself. The demo seems to use the PCs compression where the...

Replying to a bit of an old post here.... I dug up an update from a long time ago that confirms some of what we knew about the 3DO files. The color depth is definitely slightly less than the PSX version, however that may not be where the 3DO videos would be of the most interest...

A lot of this is more grown-up us revisiting something we're overly familiar with. The problem with Tolwyn, even back when it came out, was that the marketing for the game completely spoils the fact that He's a traitor. However the game is toying with a much more conventional storytelling...

Thp made an extractor for P2 relatively recently but it doesn't seem to pull out any info on where or how the game stores gun values https://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/threads/privateer-2-editing-and-extracting.25122/page-5 . The tools there let you extract images, sprites, sound files, text data...

The DVD has both versions.... But for whatever reason defaults the the "censored" European edit. You can get the other version to play by swapping the file names.

Because of the way Dosbox works, it just doesn't end up producing the most ideal playing experience. Slowing the game appropriately for the cutscenes often makes the game itself too slow or janky. Also not everyone is adept at figuring out dosbox and GOG's prepackaged games aren't always...

A lot of these stats have no relation to each other. They should just be listed as whatever the source says they are. Internal stats are pretty much just arbitrary units and are only useful in comparing how each gun or missile compares within that particular game. There's a lot of impulse...
