Definitely an improvement...



Also, I just noticed they included the pinkie fingers. I wonder what Japan will have to say about that.

They even worked his palm prints onto the model. Well done. He's a bit glossy though. I noticed that pretty much everything in "HD" has that gloss to it. I'm not a fan. But I'll let it slide on the pretense that Abe was nervously sweating for his big photo shoot.

Wait - They've brought back his original 4-fingered hand design? So it's not an issue in Japan anymore?

Looking good BTW, even if he does look a little odd, like all the Munch HD models. But there's only so much you can do with an old engine.

I will, regrettably, probably be unable to play either MO HD or SW HD as I terminated my PSN account not too long ago to save money. I know for a fact that my computer does not have the graphics capacity to run the games via Steam.

Wow, that's a great improvement! Is it safe to assume that this model will be the one seen is Abe HD eventually, or will JAW build another similar model?

If Abe HD is using a different engine from Munch HD, I'd hope they'll do a better-looking model for it - Fantastic as the Munch HD models look, they still seem a bit odd somehow. I think I read somewhere that they're using an improved version of MO's existing game engine, and can't have models that aren't symmetrical.

And I'm not moody but surely you can agree that it would be nicer if he had a happy expression on his face.

That is just sexy! Abe has never looked more appealing to me, yes you heard right!

4srs though, amazing work JAW you're really bringing back the games we want how we want, my one and only problem is the Abe sprite still has those eyes that look all zoned out...but it doesn't bother me so much so meh.

Damn that's looking good. Pretty much same quality as Abe in the old FMV's, that's just amazing. Imagine what would happen if they were to recreate the cutscenes... at this rate you won't even be able to see the difference anymore.

I don't think the cutscenes need to be recreated. They were pretty revolutionary for their time. To make them any better than they already are would be pretty expensive.

True. Would look a bit backwards if the ingame graphics beat the FMV's graphics though

In this day and age, if you have the existing models already it should be a lot easier now than it was to create cut scenes back in the day. The old cut scenes, if used, may look out of place unless they keep the art style of the old games EXACTLY the same. You'd have gameplay graphics being better quality than the FMV graphics. :P

EDIT: Augh people posted before me. See, this is why I normally don't say much.

I'm guessing this is going to be the in-game model for Abe? I can't wait to see some poses for gameplay.

Oh and this is random but.
