Works out that way for Great Mouse Detective, too.





Clock tower action scenes seem to be much happier to play with clambering around on giant gears when animated in cartoons or games rather than live acted, for fairly obvious reasons. Live action will happily hang people from the clock hands, though.

If that dog named Victor isn't foreshadowing for the end of this game, I'm going to be severely disappointed.

I would also accept (and prefer) a lemur.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
Looks like the clock hand actually would have landed on the roof of the larger tower building. Though now I'm curious if they 1. rendered that, 2. what the tower interior looks like at the end, and 3. what happens if you try to go back to the front door after making such a racket.

They don't even have to show Drake on the news. Just footage of an old clock tower from pirate times being destroyed will be enough to tip her off.

You mentioned it at the top of the tower but Inverse Kinematics, or IK, is used for a lot of different things, not just feet. Dan Floyd over on Extra Credits did a video briefly touching on IK, and it's pretty decent to understand the gist of what's going on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVHM4spXuOM

So yeah, stuff like Nate actually climbing to the top of the tower uses way more IK than just that one point where it broke his foot on the top.

Their paperwork would be totally hosed, of course.

I don't know, their paperwork seems good enough to get them in and out of pretty much any country on Earth from what we've seen across four games. At no point is difficulty crossing borders ever brought up as a concern for the two of them, except for that easter egg. It's kinda weird, thinking about it.

Nate needs to have different coins anf rings and stuff on his pockets when he gives the papers.

Then you have to XRay Sully and he has a huge dong that is actually his cigar!

The puzzle would be to find a spot to put the stamp because their papers are already full of other stamps.

After years of fisticuffs, gunplay, rope sliding, and ancient curses, Nate's fingerprints have been worn down to perfectly smooth blots.

And let's not even go near Sully's medical history.

I can believe Sully carries around a giant novelty cigar, I'm sure it's helped him out of a tough spot more than once.

Nate and Sully's paperwork would be pristine and if you let them through there'd be an article in the in-game paper about massive property damage and the disappearance of a national treasure, but otherwise no effect.

I really appreciate that Elena's reaction is less angry or surprised and far more fed up. They've been through a lot together, and Nate keeps on pulling this crap over and over. It's to the point that she nearly expects it, despite a hope to be wrong.

Juxtaposing that incredible setpiece, a moment of excitement and pure actionized enjoyment, next to that sudden "I hosed up" scene... It's fantastic, really shoving you into Nate's mindset.

My god what a gorgeous game. The story is great so far, and the action sequences are really cool, but I keep finding myself blown away by the small details. The legible text message, the fire, the facial animations, hell; Elena's eyes actually got redder and glassier as she began to cry.

It does have some details that are clearly from the 2010 image, such as the gold striation things on the cuffs and the fuller beard. Then again, that one is clearly based upon the #2 appearance, so good on them either way.
