I cant believe this was released in 1984.
Have they actually paid for an aircraft with a camera to fly on these areas to make this game?
Sounds extremely expensive
The FMV bits are from this movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_(film)

Also what happened to this?
had I played this back in the day I'd be hallucinating if I saw that. How did they make that? FMV in the background? I've seen a few games doing something similar on youtube videos from people playing classic arcade games, very boring to watch and play, from animated series where you had to press a key in a given moment and depending on the input, correct or incorrect, the scene would change accordinglyI cant believe this was released in 1984.

Yup saw it in the theaters and played the game in the arcades. It was a gloriously bad movie. I'm still wondering how they got Clint Eastwood to act in it. He was still a popular and sought after actor during that time period.
He directed it, so guess it was easy enough for him to persuade himself to be in it.
Firefox is responsible for my childhood love of canard foreplanes and low flying jets. I won't hear a bad word said against it!
The whole PSTD plot line was a little overwrought (esp. for a pilot) but it did setup the awesomely cool stroll across the hangar.Absolutely, I loved the movie when I saw it. Hence gloriously bad and not train wreck bad.
1980s toys were the best. I had something very similar to this but it was a Galaga knock-off and 4 AA batteries would run it for weeks. My parents insta-regretted buying it for my birthday because mine had no mute and it was loud as hell.Let's not forget the home game
So, to finally answer this, I try to use original hardware whenever possible (I own roughly 150 or so consoles - though that includes duplicates). I try my best to use emulation only when absolutely necessary.these DF Retro videos lead me to a few questions..
Does John have ALL the original machines at home? Is he the guy playing -for instance- the DOS version with a 4 button gamepad? (back then in the late 90s from what I remember, playing with controllers meant using the MIDI port and calibration was a hit and a miss)
When does he use emulators and when he does not? I am sure he uses emulators for the most obscure ports, but when the gameplay stops during the morphing of the final boss, is it perfect emulation or the original machine? I am curious....
wow, 150 different models of consoles is....otherwordly! Wish I had those when I was a kid, I enjoyed reading magazines and imagined having the system to play those beautiful games, yet I didnt have one, just a computer in the late 90s, being Microsoft Golf and the original Need for Speed my first games.So, to finally answer this, I try to use original hardware whenever possible (I own roughly 150 or so consoles - though that includes duplicates).

In the MK video, I had to rely on Mame for the arcade version as I couldn't get my hands on a board (original MK boards are rather uncommon here in Germany) and the Lynx homebrew port (I own a Lynx but mine doesn't have TV out and I don't have a flash cart for homebrew either). All the other versions are captured or filmed from real hardware (hence why I do those filmed shots). That includes the PC version which was played in real mode DOS on an old 90s PC - that was me playing it on the CRT monitor with the Gravis pad.
So, yeah, for most consoles and PC, I use original hardware in videos but for arcade games, I often have to rely on Mame. Not always but usually. Arcade boards are often too expensive to obtain for a video and take up so much space (those PCBs are massive).
how do you do that and why that resolution exactly? (I played the original RE on a Monster 3D at 640x480) The images were taken on 1440p 165Hz monitor and the lower I could go is 640x480.Should have gone 240p with a 6x integer scale
The PS1 version (and maybe N64) ran at 240p. According to the internet (I don't own RE2 remake) you can set a custom resolution by editing the re2_config.ini in the install directory. You may have to turn on integer scaling and set a custom resolution in your graphics cards control panel. 640*360 would give a perfect 4x scale and 16:9 aspect ratio as well. 720*480 would give you widecreen 480p at a 3x scalehow do you do that and why that resolution exactly?

Hours I ve spent trying o download it in pieces on a 56k modem pirated But maybe I spent as much on the internet trying to download as I would have bought it original.how do you do that and why that resolution exactly?

New DF Retro video. Darn, I wanted that game back in the day, but I was into Age of Empires 2 and had no money. Nice landscape at the start. Also, I have the same 3DFX graphics card at home as the one shown in the first minute of the video.
hahahah, sounds familiar. That's what I did with Age of Empires 2 The Conquerors. I had the original but not the money to buy the Conquerors expansion, so I downloaded it from a pirate source, with great patience and the software of teh day to download stuff -cant recall the name, it started with g something, and there were others-.Hours I ve spent trying o download it in pieces on a 56k modem pirated But maybe I spent as much on the internet trying to download as I would have bought it original.
I think this game deserved a lot more than what it got. I am sure it got some downgrade in the final release but the tech was pretty awesome. The atmosphere and visuals were very nice.
