Sometimes I get the feeling people don't realize people realize a joke is a joke but realize this is a run-on sentence.

The LeChuck model looks a lot better in motion with the dramatic lighting, it's all looking excelent. You guys have done a great job, and I can't wait to be playing this

I love the Depth-of-Field usage... especially that little stuff, like LeChuck holding his arm out towards the camera. This is going to be wooooonderful!

Too late

I'm now even more impatient to grab it.

Maybe it's intention but from the videos so far the new LeChuck doesn't look scary or mighty to me at all. I somehow would have hoped more for a MI2 LeChuck, or one who looks more like the one from Purcell's blog or at least with some different colours. Looking at his face, the skin and the lips i always feel reminded of pickles.

Gotta eat some now...

Wow guys (i.e. the Telltale team)... the game looks really, really good.

Well done, indeed. Bravo. Looks like it'll be a pleasure--nay, a joy--to play.

Nice! Glad to hear it's being appreciated!

Yeah. That was great. I really wish my computer was good enough to run Telltale's games on their highest graphics settings.

Love the incorporated 2D elements (i.e. the inventory map)
Love the music
Brilliant voice acting (although Earl Boen is irreplaceable)
Great character animation (especially facial)

When I saw how subtly depth of field was used in W&G I did wonder if it was going to be used in TOMI, it's looking great.

I remember when I first got MI2 (in the before time, long long ago) I noticed the artists had blurred out certain foreground objects to give the depth of field effect, I loved it then and I love it now

Rather Dashing · 07/01/2009, 04:40 pm

So, anybody want to explain to a graphics layman what this fancy depth of field stuff is?

You know how when you look at something the stuff closer and further away goes out of focus? Thats depth of field.

Basically a real world camera lens has to be focused at specific distance so that it creates a clear picture of the thing you are filming or taking a photo of. Objects at other distances appear blurred because the light isn't converging at the focal point. This is true of our eyes as well.

Games have only recently started to emulate this effect, It is most noticable in the newer FPS games when you use iron sights to aim. While it's nothing overly important, it's a nice touch that adds to the cinematic feel

Visual example to help your point:

Rather Dashing · 07/01/2009, 07:06 pm

Oh god that hurts my eyes! x_x

But the point has been illustrated. Cool stuff!

I am not certain whether or not it has already been mentioned anywhere else on the forum yet, but there are new concepts and screenshots in the VIP section.

Also, a zipped version of the recent gameplay video.

thesporkman · 07/01/2009, 07:56 pm

I love the new screenshots!

That concept art with the pirates: a single pirate wearing a number of different disguises, or just Telltale planning to save time and resources by building eight different characters off of the same model?
