Take a trip down memory lane to virtual Wyoming via IRL Montana.
A
big fan of Firewatch, the first-person
adventure from Campo Santo, took a trip to my homeland of Montana, and found
some surprisingly accurate real world representations of pivotal scenes from the
game. The game scenes were already real enough, that it didn't take much more
than pointing a camera and throwing in a track from the Firewatch soundtrack.
It's a short, entertaining watch, and its actual scenic vistas are highly
evocative of virtual vistas I last saw nearly six months ago.
The
video goes to show the research and work that went into making Firewatch's art
direction feel authentic despite its stylized distance from realism. It's one of
the reasons I liked it so much, having camped in those fire lookouts on occasion
growing up. (You can too.) Firewatch mostly uses a saturated palette, which
captures the quiet energy of a lush forest and dry heat of a mountain summer—all
without the use of a haptic feedback bodysuit. Fancy that.
Watch
the fan video and trailer back to back, and note the similarities for
yourself.
