Astérix Speedrunning: xxl2

baku69

I mean, that's good for speedrunning reason, cause we can finish the game in 40 min xD

gwennaterasu

besides, before joining the server recently I had fun playing the game in extreme and what horror, it was infamous

gwennaterasu

The original composer of the music for XXL also filed a lawsuit against Microids for using the music in the remaster without his permission :obelul:

However I never found out how it ended

failentin

interesting, for the XXL2 remaster too or just for the XXL1 music?

gwennaterasu

I don't know anymore to be honest, xxl1 for sure, maybe 2 too 😅

Ahh so that could explain why some of the "clone" models have vertex colors when they didn't in the original (and some of the vertex colors are broken, like the Roman's spear/pilum being black)

martyste

Wwwww what's going on here

martyste

gimme 10 minutes to catch up

gwennaterasu

yes it's possible, my whole process was automated and I fixed what I saw, I must not have noticed that (and Microids QA must not have paid attention to this kind of detail)

adrientd

We can even see the black pilums in the trailer, how couldn't they see it :obelul:

martyste

yup, i was in the know for a long time that the XXL2 build used was setting the team a month back. At least now i know the full explanation, and why it was also specifically PS2 builds!

gwennaterasu

they didn't see much to be honest :obelul:

If I remember correctly, I think we also saw a lot of problems in the trailer at the time, it was an old build of the game

martyste

Oh goodness, welcome to our place FranS. It's been years since any Dev last visited!

martyste

You may not remember me, butttt I was very briefly part of ...QA? for XXL

gwennaterasu

Thanks! And you were able to visit the office, I remember!

gwennaterasu

hihi yes I remember

martyste

Ooooh, nice, you do remember! It was a fun time for all

martyste

My fursuit tho, wasn't touched up yet.

gwennaterasu

You were a legend in the dev team we often talked about you

martyste

A LEGEND!? XD
