I take it you've watched some of the cutscenes. What do you think?


It depends. Some miss the point entirely. I think Silent Cartographer is a downgrade in the cinematic language telling the story.

Here's another downgrade: In the original, "I think we're just getting started" has the camera pull back to show the fighter drifting in the vastness of space, slowly becoming a speck against the infinite cosmos. How will he get home? In Campaign Evolved? A close up where the MC takes off his helmet, then cuts to black. The music doesn't even get to finish. Completely ruins the emotional weight of the ending.

Haven't gotten that far. That's a shame.
