It's beautiful, just wish it was 4k

Thanks as always to Chris for the update. I'm glad the progress sounds steady, it sure hasn't felt it. To make this update I just looked at the commit history to remind myself what I'd done, it was bursts of a few days of work at a time followed by months of nothing. The most I got done was in...

Thanks, sadly it's been really slow moving this past year as my day job involved getting a game on a huge variety of hardware (still one more launch to go). Should get back to a good pace shortly though.

Personally I'd happy watch the cutscenes like this. The indie scene has done pixel art to death to the point where I *hate* it, but tolerate it in WC's case for the gameplay.

Mostly it just looks very static and too clean to match the FMV (which even without the film grain has other kinds of noise baked in). The models aren't super detailed and wouldn't look as passable in truly clean 4K, just look at one of the original models...

For the game it'll be an option - that said I sometimes wish such things weren't. Imagine playing silent hill without film grain? Some games do just throw the kitchen sink of effects out, but most there was an artistic decision behind it. Our aim is to have the FMV and gameplay merge into one...

Always great to see any updates, already it's definitely the best way to play WC1. I can't wait for WC2 to get to the same level.

I mean an army of spaceman lead clones is basically the plot to oblivion. Unless my memory cheats they never really showed the army of Tom Cruises, just described it. It’s likely either budget or good taste would have kept it from getting too cheesy. Still feels out of place in the wc universe...

I've always had it in my mind he came back. One I remember writing an e-mail to Origin to which I surprisingly actually got a response (sadly I didn't think to save it) and they said "we don't know if he's dead". In most media "don't know" means "definitely coming back". But also narratively it...

Depends on the creator, normally *someone* does care internally but when the medium transfers there's no guarantee they'll make the leap with it. Sometimes the company that holds the ip will be go to great lengths to ensure consistency in order to protect that IP. Of course when a creator does...

Thanks for the update! And don't worry I know about lack of free time, there's been no news on the WCIV project as I've entered crunch myself.

Makes sense. Dead Space is a certain big seller in this market; so long as they can get the review scores.

@Destro any updates on this project? Been looking forward to doing a replay with it.

I picked up the entire Origin library just incase. Does anyone have any particular recommendations outside of the WC franchise?
