HD Colection

Hi guys,

sorry for my non-existence for a while but I've being a little busy working o maya to make some models :P. Hope everyone is alright having a good day.

Today's topic is about HD Colections a recent thing that is capting some companies atention and also their fame. I would like to know what do you think about this. Do ypou thing is a good thing for them? For the fans?

 

Personaly I don't mind if it is well done. What I'm trying to say is if they keep what the originals did to make their franchise good. A exemple I can give which is not good is the recent HD Colection of Silent Hill. Those who bought the game and love the series of Silent Hill complain about many things: bugs, the fog isn't well done or there's not fog enought, songs that don't play in right time, also the changes they made in some songs, aaand mostly for the new voice actors. I'll post here some videos on youtube later to amke you aware of what they have done.

I'm personally a big fan of HD remakes. I haven't seen the "misimproved" attempts on Silent Hill, because I only know the old versions. Why did they change the voice actors?

But most fanmade HD-Mods (HD Models, Texturepacks, etc.) are a very nice addition towards a more modern game for a bigger audience. I also run a german blog about this topic. ^^ (And made a Texturepack for Freelancer as well, so I'm a little bit prejudiced. :P )

 

When a company is responsible for a HD-Pack it sometimes misinterprets the direction, the fans would like to see it or it is just another "squeeze the penny out of thir loyal fans" product. Like Doom 3 BFG is in my opinion...

A welldone example is Beyond Good & Evil in my opinion. GoG also did a good a job at Patches for their games. (DK2 [finally] and Outcast e.g.)

Everytime I see a HD-Remake I pray it is a testrun if enough people would buy the brand to make a sequel.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Trying to be productive on my down-time before Capcom releases Akuma and my son is constantly on my PC playing Street Fighter...

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.
