I really hate it when in gamelofts podcasts they make random people say how great the graphics of their games are when everyone can see that they are awful. This game really looks amazingly realistic and with (the new enhanced) Aralon it is the game I want most right now.
Guys, I have some great news to share! Soon after the final version of Forgotten Memories (coming this winter), we will work on an old-school version of Forgotten Memories. Environments will be less detailed (less polys, smaller textures) but you'll find the same exact objects, features and stuff on the game! It is just a graphically cut-down version. Pixel shaders will be turned off, lighting will be in most parts pre-computed and dynamic ones (eg the flashlight) will be vertex ones, similar as in Silent Hill on PS1. So no normal/specular/ao effects. Characters will not feature any real-time facial animation. However, cinematics will be pre-recorded, so you can follow the same exact storyline and cuts with the same details as the high def version. Keep in mind that we will release the high def version first, then we will work on reducing details for the low version. So allow 1-2 extra months for the low version. ^^ Hope old school users love this news! Cheers,
May? It should work 100%. ^^ The low version is for old iDevices, any device not supporting pixel shaders: - iPhone1g,2g,3g, - iPodTouch1g,2g,3g(8GB ver, as the 3G 32 and 64GB supports pixel shaders).
woooooooooooow so u mean am gonna play forgotten memories on my 2g touch wooow 2g i luv u lool....but sry for asking but what will be the difference between the lower version and the original one? change in graphics...lessa gameplay...less music and enemis..or just removing some graphical options to make it work fine? oh and btw ..will we get scared from the lower version as everyone gets scared from the high def one?
AI, Gameplay, controls, music, sounds, everything will remain the same except for characters and lighting/effects. Characters will be less detailed with no pixel shaders. Lights will be vertex instead of pixel. Textures will also be smaller. Cut-scenes will be pre-recorded from the high version. In other words, is the same game with less graphics. Cheers,
Hehe, We are making some tests with few iphones 3g/iTouches 2G and everything is working quite fine for the low version. ^^
Are any new images going to be posted soon? Tato said that there would be more images soon, a week ago. I know I'm being a little impatient I'm just so excited for this revolutionary AppStore game
There you go. More stuff to come! Keep it tight, while we work on FM! On the left, a shoot from the morgue room. On the right, a shot inside one of the numerous elevator in the game. We can barely see the dark corridors outside. ^^ Enjoy:
