Animators Reimagine LucasArts Super Full Throttle In Modern 3D

Full Throttle it was one of many amazing adventure games that LucasArts built throughout the 1990s. It got a a set-back release in 2017, but the independent studio has just taken other steps by re-watching what the game might look like if it were developed today.

The short video, an illegal project from London-based animators Red Knuckles, is moving away from the beautiful sprite graphics he described Full Throttle

The click-and-click times allow for more detailed, logical, but still small-scale observations. Protagonist Ben has been lovingly provided with high definition including his rare motorcycle, looks like he hasn't missed a hit since 1995. This video uses voice and music lines since the opening.

"When a character wins, it's easy, clear, useful, and you get what that person is instantly saying," Red Knuckles creative directors Rick Thiele and Mario Ucci write in website website.

"The hardest part was to take a character character that was completely defined by its original look and revive it without losing its soul – and more, it adds to it. I think we've been able to achieve this thing here."

While I'm not 100% sure I want to see everything Full Throttle keep in mind this style — the original is pretty much gosh darn — The Red Knuckles did a great job with introducing Ben into the 21st century. Sure, a lonely motorhead has never played a chicken with a space shuttle, but doesn't that sound like something they would do without breaking a sweat?
