Not that I'm aware of, and Sneider is another guy I'd lump in with GFR/WGTC on most days, but figured it was worth a post when I saw it in my feed just in case.

Quote from: Xenomrph on Apr 27, 2023, 01:14:15 AMI'm reading through the (fairly) recent Blade Runner comic books. I'd read "Blade Runner 2019" volumes 1 and 2 but it's been a while so I'm re-reading them, and then I've got BR 2019 volume 3, BR 2029 volumes 1-3, and BR Origins volumes 1-3. Apparently BR 2039 is also coming out at the moment, with Volume 1 just having wrapped up.

I also learned the Blade Runner RPG references the 1997 Blade Runner point-and-click videogame, which is pretty sweet. Glad that game got some recognition.
How are the comics? I plan to get them, and the game is one my bucket list (but not yet on Steam).
I just finished re-reading volume 1 and I'm digging it. It's a little tough to pin down precisely where in the timeline it happens in 2019, it seems to be at least before the movie 'Blade Runner' because Eldon Tyrell seems to still be alive when the comic takes place.

I'm also watching Blade Runner: Black Lotus on Amazon Prime, it's pretty neat too.

I watched Black Lotus and liked it quite a bit; I was surprised by how complex some of the characters were (especially Joseph), and the fight scenes were fantastic. I loved Marlowe's red spinner, that thing was fantastic.

Still making my way through the comics, I'm digging them for the most part.

Well let me clarify that; I finished the 2019 comics and liked them, about 1/3 of the way through 2029 and I'm liking those as well, but the Black Lotus sequel comic series is falling a little flat for me. I think a lot of it is the art - it just kind of sucks. It's especially bizarre when a character is described as being "beautiful" and then the artwork just doesn't reflect that at all, it's just a pet peeve of mine. It feels a little too "Mad Max" and not really enough "Blade Runner". I dunno, I'm only halfway through it, maybe it gets better.

I also grabbed the RPG sourcebook - glad to see it gives a shout-out to the 1997 point-and-click adventure game, but other than that it seems a little light on references to other "expanded universe" stuff. Other than mentioning the Blackout, it doesn't mention the attack on the Seawall from the 2029 comic volume 1 (which seems like a big deal), or the Tyrell building being in ruins, or seemingly anything from Black Lotus so far. Not a dealbreaker or anything, I just like franchise cross-pollination.

That business about the Tyrell buildings being in ruins always irked me, because you can see them standing tall in BR2049.

I think the Blade Runner comics are great overall, but I agree that the Black Lotus sequel is underwhelming, mainly because of the art.

Oh crap, looks like you get to use the device that Ana was using in 2049 to create memories to (re-)create crime scenes here. Very cool. I hope you get to run a Voight-Kampff test on some older Replicants in this, too...

Seems to be hitting the right notes of being a proper investigative/noir type game. I think I'm looking forward to this one.

Maybe we'll get lucky and you'll be playing as Ray McCoy (who, as of the Blade Runner RPG, is still canon).

Argh, right after my PS4 has bitten the dust. "It ain't half fair, man!"

If anyone hasn't seen Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner then you must. It's the best making of ever made. Masterclass by Charles de Lauzirika.

The Eighth Passenger

CdL used to post on the Bladezone forum back when it was still active, while he was busy with the Final Cut and Dangerous Days.

He had actually filmed Dangerous in HD but his deadline for handing in HD content was much shorter than for standard definition content. So he decided to go with SD in order to produce a longer documentary. Most consumers were still watching stuff on SD back then so it was probably a sound decision.

He still has the HD masters so if Warner were keen he could release it in HD.

It's my 2nd favourite making of ever. My no.1 is "The Beast Within:The Making of Alien".....also by Charles de Lauzirika!

Crazy we might not have gotten either if not for his interest in Alien³ which he really wanted to do as I understand it, so 20th Century Fox requested he do all of the Alien films, and I am pretty sure that landed him the Blade Runner job by association.
