    It's weird because I love the original footage but it is so jarring. It's almost like watching a TV show, soap or something.. even though that's how they probably wish it could have been had they not been limited by FMV. I almost like how the FMV slows things down and makes it more grainy, maybe I'm crazy?

    • @danielalbu
      @danielalbu Рік тому +5

      You're not crazy.
      This was filmed at 30fps (29.97fps to be precise) and that is the reason for the "soap opera look".
      If we are to remaster Phantasmagoria 2, we'll use this footage but we'll reduce the frame rate to 24fps to give it the "cinematic look"

      If it would have been changed then I wouldn't have been able to create the side-by-side comparison so seamlessly.

    The original looks like it was shot in this decade; very crisp. Also somehow the blurrier in-game footage adds a lot of atmosphere and mystique. If the game were a movie I'd hate but I love it since it's not. I feel that in a game part of the fun is being able to fill some gaps with your imagination. When Trevor is launched backwards it looks much more amateurish to me in the original footage because you cannot see any special effects (wire work or what not) in either version but in the sharper original footage the presumed attempt to save time and money simply by adjusting the shot to have Trevor to the corner of the screen and making Trevor jump back or be pulled back by an assistant seems much more obvious to me and gives the scene a cheaper feel. Since the in-game footage is much more blurry and presumably watched on a computer screen as opposed to a huge television it just works better because you get to fill gaps with your imagination OR you don't notice the cheap solutions.

      Let's make a deal, every time one video reaches 1K, I'll release the next one.
      (e.g. yesterday's video is almost 1K so you got today's video)

    This cutscene made me remember. The writers for this game love using 'Son of a bitch' 😂
