Channel Update - February 2021 | Upcoming video - Status (Patreon)

Hello there! I hope you are doing well during these harsh times.

~~GTA SA - Why Remastered is garbage [Part 2]

Since the last channel update I was mainly working on this video and I made a lot of progress. 

First of all, I've finished writing the script for this video. You will be surprised, but I am planning to make part 3 too. The script became long enough again and I had no other choice then to split it up, because otherwise it would take me forever to finish this video. 

Secondly, I've already decided how should I split up the video.In Part 2 you will see these topics:

Broken controls/game mechanics;

Downgrades;

One more controversial enhancement;

Camera issues;

Simplifications;

Shadows - bad or good/problems

The rest topics are left for Part 3:

Broken controls;

Mobile interface;

New textures - bad or good/problems;

More bugs;

Broken cheats;

Advantages;

Some interesting trivia.

Maybe something more...

You might say that I am butchering video, BUT the script for Part 2 already takes around  39 pages having 7400 words. 

If you wonder, Part 1 took only around 29 pages with 5900 words. 

What is more interesting, Part 3 has already ~35 pages. As you can see, it was unnecessary to split up the video, because there is a lot of information I want to talk about.

As I said earlier, the script for this video is finally done (Russian version) and is already sent to a narrator for voicing. As soon as I get the lines, I will start working in Adobe Premiere and then I can start translating the video. Meanwhile while I am waiting for the lines, I am thinking about the future projects. Everything goes smooth, I guess.

~Some thoughts

As I said in my previous update, Part 2 will be a completely different video from Part 1. This future video will talk about the flaws more in-depth so the viewer could understand what I mean better. I've tried my best and, I think, I found the right way of doing that. However the narrator said me that in his opinion there is a lot of unnecessary information in the script, which makes it bigger for no apparent reason. That some things can be explained in one or two sentences adding that Part 1 was more dynamic in this regard and I might agree with him.

The problem is, as a creator I came up to a conclusion that I have to be sure that the viewer understands what I talk about. Since it is more complex video, the best way of doing it is to slow down and talk about the flaws more... maybe even to show some examples where it can ruin your experience. Otherwise the viewer will be bombarded with lots of brief facts without having chance to think is it bad or good. Moreover, if I talk about these facts briefly, then the footage will be too short to understand what I mean and it would be a problem.

Yes, I would agree, that the Part 1 was more dynamic, but I talked mainly about glitches and bugs. They are pretty self explanatory. If I want to talk, for instance, about broken gym activities, then there is no easy way to do it. First I need to show how it works in the original game, then how it works in the Remastered and highlight the flaws I found... and there are a lot of flaws in gym activities. I haven't seen so many broken mechanics in one place. As a result, the gym activities take 3 pages in the script. I am not saying that every single fact takes 3 pages in the script, but in general, the Part 2 will have less facts than it was in Part 1, because they are more complex.

I really hope that I've chosen the right way of presenting Remastered flaws in the video and, I hope, you will still enjoy it. In either way, the stakes are high. People truly want to see Part 2 and I don't want to let them down. At the same time I want to prove that the Remastered version is more broken than they think.

~~This is pretty much it. Sadly, I have nothing else to add, because this video takes a lot of my free time. Thank you for your support and I hope to see you soon again.
