First off, I just rediscovered this game. I used to play it all the time when I was younger. However, when I got into college then marriage and life, etc... I just forgot about it. Anyway, I just rediscovered it and played through it and again I am simply amazed at the highest level of quality the SCP version carries. It is simply fantastic.
As always, we want to make it better. When I was playing the game years ago I used to frequent this site (under a different username) and was always anxious for the new SCP release. I dreamt of making campaigns of my own. I even moddeled a few fighters and made a couple trailers. I had no idea what I was doing. Now I actually know some 3D design and understand concepts of animation. I hope I can finally make a contribution to this project.
I don't know how well this will be received by the community, but here is my idea. I would like to recreate the FS1 & FS2 cutscenes in 1080p Hi-Res. I want to remake them as close as possible to the originals. Same colors, same camera movement, same timing, everything. I would use the original audio from the current cutscenes. After that, I would also like to take a gander at recreating the hanger bays where the player chooses to go to the tech room, continue campaign, etc. But that is secondary.
It just seems that in game everything is so beautiful looking and runs so smoothly. Then the cutscenes or menus show up and they are dated. The are low-res, stretched, re-encoded a few times over... Yeah...
There it is.
Is there any support out there for this idea? Even a few moddelers to work with me?
