New Work in Progress Video! Analysing Hitman's PCVR Mode (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

Just letting you know that a work in progress version of the new video is now available! Hitman 3's VR mode is about as far from perfect or even competent as you can imagine, but beneath its vast array of problems, is there something at the mode's core that plays to the strengths of VR as a medium? Let's find out!

The final video still has a few things that need done that will take a day or so to finish. Now, before I would have just said "fuck it" and powered through the sleepless nights it would take to rush something out, but the general sentiment from my last few posts seems to be that people are OK with me taking a bit more time to, well, sleep and take care of myself a bit better. So I'm going to do that—I am extremely grateful for all of your support in that regard. It takes a lot of pressure off. Thank you.

I still wanted to post something for you though (and I do need to post something before Patreon's month-end deadline for paid posts anyway), so here's the audio from the piece, with some trailer footage over the top. Apologies that this version doesn't have visuals lining up with the audio, but hopefully what I'm talking about here gets you excited for the visual component (there is some really daft footage in this one, haha). Like I say, in a day or so, you'll have the full completed version.

After that, I'll be mainly focusing on the Yakuza cinema piece. There are some big games coming out soon that I'll probably want to cover in some capacity (I'm playing that new Horizon game now, for instance, and Elden Ring is a game I am immensely excited for), but that just depends on whether I have time while focusing on this bigger piece—I've already started research for it and I'm very excited for what might come out of it.

Thank you all so, so much once again for your continued support. I would not be able to do this without you, and you are directly making this whole process more sustainable for me. I will never be able to fully express my gratitude for that.

Thanks again and I'll see you soon with the final video/more updates!
