Ahhh. You’ve picked up on my bad keyboard swiping skills. 😄

This reminds me of when I first watched Firefly and the security forces turn up wearing the Starship Troopers armour! Completely threw be for a bit! 😆

He’s alright as Peter Parker but he definitely wasn’t Nathan Drake in Uncharted. I just can’t see him as Bond.

I also find it a little worrying that the director doesn’t have final cut.

If you want to know about crap licenses to movies, there was a 8bit game for Blade Runner, but the developers couldn’t obtain the rights to do it. However, they were able to gain the rights to another part of the film.

The box art for the Blade Runner game states in rather small text on the cover, “video game interpretation of the film score”. Yes, they got the rights to the soundtrack!

Didn’t Legacy get a 4K update for that Apple VR headset thing. I saw an interview with the director where he confirmed he had just supervised a new transfer.

I had this on releas on my GameCube and really enjoyed it. Several years ago, I played through it again and it holds up really well. The combat gets a bit repetitive and the camera can sometimes get stuck in a strange position but apart from that, it was a lot of fun.

I don’t know about that instance in particular but that’s not to say it didn’t happen. As new sound mixes were created over the first few years, I think different sounds and lines were tinkered with.

The only one that I definitely know of is during Han and Chewie’s escape from the Death Star.

You can hear a Trooper shouting “close the blast doors”. Then once they’re closed, a Trooper hurriedly shouts, “open the blast doors, open the blast doors!” I can’t remember which, but one of those two lines was added at a later date, I’m sure.

There’s a lovely ten minute video on the BFI YouTube channel talking about this lovely Technicolour print of the film.

I’m pretty sure the only reason everyone is calling this rare is because it doesn’t have the “episode 4” title which was added later.

This is the same film, for people of a certain age, grew up with on TV and VHS. I don’t understand why it’s being sold as a version barely anyone has seen.

If you want a version no one has seen, in the Lucasfilm archives is a copy of Star Wars where the travelling shots in the Falcon and land speeder were achieved with rear projection. Just like the TV shows of the 70s and 80s when characters were talking in cars.

I can’t believe we thought that tank controls were good back then.

Apart from different sounds mixes and adding the title “A New Hope” for it’s re-release in 1980 (I think), there were no significant changes until the Special Editions in 1997.

I made it to the part where Liam rips the arms off the bad guy and stopped watching. That’s only ten seconds into the trailer!

I’m happy to see the move has been successful and welcome @TheImpressiveX@piefed.social (Is that the right one, he has accounts everywhere! 😁) to your Mod team.

That guy is fast! I’ve lost count how many times I’ve come to post video or news and he’s beaten me to it!

A lovely read for Saturday morning, thank you. I’m really surprised to learn that Cyberpunk is running sub HD on the Switch 2 and then being upscaled. Maybe I don’t really understand it properly but I guess the filters and technology hide the jank?

As the article states, this was screened at the London BFI the other day. It’s an original technicolour print from 1977. There’s a ten minute video about it here.

I’ve heard interviews with the people at the BFI and if I remember correctly, they have a film scanner capable of 12k scans. The films in the archive all get digital scans made for backup purposes.

So sitting on a hard drive, somewhere at the BFI, is probably a huge 4K scan of this very print.

But I presume the best we will have access to is 4K77.

Click bait websites must love news stories like this.

“OMG!! Zelda movie delayed!!”

Then you read the article and tut because the truth is, they’ve pushed it back a few weeks. Hardly news.

Apparently, Bond is only 26 in this story. He’s only just started out as a 00 or training to be one.

My first computer was a ZX81, but I think it was a custom build between my father, a carpenter, and my uncle, an electrician who fixed arcade games.

It was housed in a wooden case with a proper keyboard. The 16K RAM pack had been soldered on inside, so there was no case of it ever crashing due to a bad connection.

Simple black and white graphics with no sound. I loved it to bits.

I wonder how it will differ from just being Hitman in a tuxedo? Will it follow the games of years gone by and feature driving sections? 😁

Nice idea… Never playing it. 😂 Playing it on television in the dark with headphones was bad enough!

Is it just me, or has Heroic Launcher broken some games with this update? Rebel Galaxy launches with a window to change graphics options. OK that and then the game starts.

After the HL update, I close the graphics options window and then the game launches in a black screen but all the sounds are going? This is on SteamDeck by the way. All my other games still play fine.
