Firewatch Analysis - YOU vs Henry

A bit of a different video this time, I go through the story of Firewatch, and discuss how the game portion and the story portions integrate

A few things to address:

I couldn't fix the performance issues. You can see that my framerate falls to single digits anytime the game is rendering any text related to interactable items. There's a forum post that suggests that the newest update to the game fixes this issue, but I am playing on the new version available. I tried to hide it as much as possible by working around it in editing, but it still can be seen.

I used AI upscaling on the still images I use. They are old images and not of great quality, so I feel that it was an improvement, but I think that it still introduced some visible distortions.

On that note, The portion in the middle of this video, where I discussed some of the real world history of the Shoshone, is a bit of a new kind of style for me, so keep in mind that its very experimental! Finding footage I can legally use of an old and very specific event was quite difficult!


The next video is likely to be on a 2008 first person shooter that laid the foundation for modern open world system driven games.
