Hunt Down The Freeman - Games

[QUOTE=TheBorealis;53158407]Can't help but feel at least a little bad for them[/QUOTE] the 50 grand investment is no doubt a lie

[QUOTE=Kiwi;53158439]Need to grab the bone fab for source so I can convert him since it's throwing errors at me but for now have this. [t]https://chie.club/files/images/st/7d4fc410-81b3-4d1b-8997-c9d1cf2fe7eb.png[/t] His textures are so fucking big that Unity complained and froze as it imported every texture.[/QUOTE] Textures so big but so shitty. Every time i see his face i just want to make it not shitty.

890 mb texture for main character that's only in cutscenes not even including high poly model on a 14.8 GB install. How much of the game was just the fucking player model.

[QUOTE=Kiwi;53158449][t]https://chie.club/files/images/st/aaa88dc0-c9a3-43ed-bcf6-44c86d652d84.png[/t][/QUOTE] Why is it like this. Why cant it just be good. Its not even hard, especially since they already stole a bunch of assets, just steal some textures and collage them together like the rest of the game.

It seems to me that the character getting his head bashed by a crowbar would have been much better conveyed with normal Half-Life perspective. Never actually seeing the atrocious looking character model, but understanding you were messed up from other characters reactions. Anything besides what they decided on.

[QUOTE=Fort83;53158507]Because it’s Fuse. Nothing good comes from there.[/QUOTE] You could just use fuse as a base and make something good from it though.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;53158587]You could just use fuse as a base and make something good from it though.[/QUOTE] Since Frank had no problems with dropping cash on this game, he could have shelled out the license to use Daz characters (though with the amount of copyrighted, stolen content in this game, I suspect he'd at most buy just the base assets, if not just downright pirate them). They look so much better than Fuse characters do. I mean, just look at these not-Geralt, not-Triss, and not-Ciri characters!

So is there a good summary of this shitshow anywhere? I know it's a shitty $25 sourcemod with stolen content made by an idea's guy who paid a few people and didn't pay a whole lot more, but is there a better summary of the whole shitstorm that doesn't involve reading 28 pages or watching a multi hour long stream?

You know it's a little gross when you realize there's basically no scripted sequences or dialogue outside of cutscenes It's like they didn't know how to properly script a scene so they decided to just make everything a SFM cutscene

[QUOTE=Kiwi;53158620][t]https://chie.club/files/images/st/20180225212601_1.jpg[/t] This shot gun will drop my frame rate and cause the engine to budget over 1GB of textures just for this weapon in particular. What the christ...[/QUOTE] The textures for the re-skinned Pulse Rifle are about 250 MB as well. Most textures are uncompressed, so that's no wonder. On another note, another amazing clip from the game. [twitch]ArborealHandsomePicklesBleedPurple[/twitch]

Why do you even need textures that big. If you just scaled them down to 2048x2048 or even 1024x1024 for the important shit and 1024x1024 to 512x512 for the minor shit they'd all probably look exactly the same.

[QUOTE=Kiwi;53158643]You have to prop climb that.[/QUOTE] He ended up going around and surfing upwards on a truck slope, and then noclipping through a garage door.

Like whys a keypad something like 4096x4096 resolution. You could make it 256x256 and nobody would be able to tell the difference, and even thats kind of high.

[QUOTE=Sunday_Roast;53158661]60 GB[/QUOTE] My bad. I underestimated the sheer radius of Frank's rectum and the magnitude of his output limits.

[QUOTE=J!NX;53157764][URL="https://youtu.be/jEWiJHM01Tk?t=2495"]What the fuck even is this[/URL] They play it forwards from one perspective, play it again in reverse, and then in another perspective How does this have a following[/QUOTE] I haven't been following the shitstorm around the game, but while most of the cutscenes are utter shit filled to the brim with razor sharp textures, wonky animation, lack of details and hilarious dialogues, [I]some[/I] (like the beginning except for the suicide(?) scene) look actually half decent.

The re-upload of my full stream is up! [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvx7OFUjzVA[/media] [editline]25th February 2018[/editline] The real action begins around the 25 minute mark.

ok good news, stalker devs are now aware that their assets are in the game. [media]https://twitter.com/GSC_GW/status/967717864898691072[/media] [editline]25th February 2018[/editline] [video=youtube;Jb3xzXyNh8I]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb3xzXyNh8I[/video]

Funfact, the vox in Hunt Down The Freeman is so fucking bad that it actually reminds me of a classic meme pretty much only Koreans know about, the korean dub of Half Life 1 and the vocoded Vox. [video]https://youtu.be/aa5SYBX3KsQ?t=77[/video] (0:59 mark) [video=youtube;08VZQhr6BdQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08VZQhr6BdQ[/video] HDTF's vox is the modern equivalent of this.

Seems like the recurring theme here is the folk that got involved with development are all eager people with no professional experience who got suckered into working for someone who's more persuasive than able to actually lead a team

Don't want to sound cocky, but I have no idea how people could have trusted Frank after the initial 2016 announcement. We've seen Fuse models, Gmod maps, edgy kid writing and a failed kickstarter right of the bat and people still thought "yeah, I want to work for this guy"?

[QUOTE=Kiwi;53158527]This game is currently un-routable because I am missing a key item that would help me clear Act 1 Chapter 3 Part 3. I also can not prop clip through the map because it crashes the game and corrupts the save in the process. [video=youtube;b9-d5lGHB7c]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9-d5lGHB7c&feature=youtu.be[/video][/QUOTE] i actually just ended up noclipping and manually changing the map for most of the game since half of it is either broken or awful to navigate. the dock part, which is like 4 levels, is probably the best example of this

[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;53158893]Seems like the recurring theme here is the folk that got involved with development are all eager people with no professional experience who got suckered into working for someone who's more persuasive than able to actually lead a team[/QUOTE] Kind of, but also keep that in mind: people like Rice Pirate are [I]far[/I] from being newcomers to the industry, and he still got conned into doing voicework for this (as a lead, no less) because Frank basically lied to him about what his work would be used for. I think it goes to show how much of a clusterfuck this development was when one of your lead VAs is a total stranger to the animation team that has to work [I]with his performance[/I].

C) "The 2016 one was shit but come on pepole we're going to give him a second chance, What could go wrong ?" D) That nobody even investigated over Frank and that all the hatred and accusations was pure "jealousy" or "lies"
