Wow very random, wasn't expecting this. It will be interesting to see how it holds up these day, I'm guessing they have cleaned up all the video footage / remastered for 1080p so it doesn't look like total ass on modern TV's.
Have they remastered the video in HD, or just cleaned it up a bit? Quality still looks kinda crummy. I assume it wasn't show on celluloid film, so it may be stuck at SD resolution forvever.
Do they have access to the source video? I mean, VCD quality bitrates really turn my nostalgia crank, but I'm hoping they've re-encoded the video to look better on our HD sets
Yeah, it should be noted that they didn't go back to the original film negatives for this game (whether because they got lost or they didn't have the funds for a proper telecine, I don't know), as your one who posted his podcast from earlier indicated what I suspected upon viewing the remastered footage that the picture is sourced from the near 30 year old master tapes that were intended to be used for the manufacturing of the production tapes for the NEMO console. 720 x 486 was the maximum rez provided, which is a damn shame, especially given that Don Burgess of Forrest Gump and Spiderman fame did the cinematography.Oh wow this would be the dream scenario if true. Still a turd, but can't wait to relive the schlock in HD
I thought Mass Effect is available in Origin?Why this and we still don't have a remaster of the Mass Effect trilogy?
Remaster.I thought Mass Effect is available in Origin?
Weird Eddy approves of this release
Has Zito chimmed in yet? Or any revelations about who the development team are? How they aquired the source material, etc?

Now that doesn't sound good. Hopefully he got it right.No source code was available so he had to recreate the engine. The real problem was figuring out what triggers a game over. He and a tester were playing it over and over and had to kind of guess how it worked because it was too random at times.
Put some penises in it, to annoy the censors, and hopefully generate some sort of controversy.
It isn't the full Night Trap experience without Congressional hearings.
So, uh, the new cover's done...
To compare:
Well, A for effort.
I'd rather they have JUST used the original, TBH.
Also:
Wow.
Someone should stage a mock Congressional hearing of it and put it on YouTube.
Then get it on real TV with the current cabinet calling it fake news

All answered in my podcast interview with the dev https://tiredoldhack.com/2017/04/25...ight-trap-25th-anniversary-edition-interview/
Oh yeah, his work is immaculate. Hell, his efforts on Doc Ock's tentacle puppets in Spiderman 2 helped win him that effects Oscar. Someone should get in contact with him and see if he could lend a hand in Sewer Shark, maybe help in locating the original negatives and whatnot if we're gonna see someone go through with a remaster.Ah, that is such a shame that they didn't have the original film negatives! Honestly I was wondering why the footage looked VHS quality, especially when it was pretty clear that they filmed it on 35mm filmstock or whatever. A VHS rip is better than nothing.
I would like to see a film transfer of Sewer Shark.
It was directed by John Dykstra, who worked as a special effects person on Star Wars: ANH, The original Battlestar Galactica TV show, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, Inglourious Basterds, Godzilla and even the most recent Ghost in the Shell.
Sewer Shark is the only thing he has ever directed. Sure it was cheesy, but the game used miniature models and practical special effects like puppets and such. All of the sewer tunnels were done with miniature models. Some of the scenes with rats were done with rod puppets.There was a robotic sidekick who was a puppet as well. Sewer Shark is a pretty cool display of practical effects made by '80's Hollywood professionals. It didn't use CG at all.
Wow indeed what the fuuuuuuck this is incredible!Also: Wow.
I want this whole genre to return, barely close to softcore sleaze and all!now re-release voyeur, the superior mildly sexy security camera real time fmv garbage game from the early 90s
Does anyone have any information about this release? Was it canceled? It was suppose to come out Spring 2017. And even Limited Run hasn't said anything about it.. (that I know of)
Anyone?
Yeah, it was going to drop any day now. Looks like July now.
