jip i agree

[@N8Harris99]

The thumbnail alone is night and day. I remember the 2016 animation going viral, and I remember Tom Lynskey’s update here on THG saying that animation was originally going to be deleted at a later date because of how preliminary it is lol.

[@zyloproductions4870]

But it was too popular to remove.

[@N8Harris99]

@@zyloproductions4870 definitely, it’s at like 92 million views now haha

[@eccentricgamer4111]

As far as I know, the OG sinking animation is the most-viewed Titanic video on KZbin that's unrelated to the 1997 movie. That is insanely impressive.

[@deathmisser85]

@@N8Harris99 The whole of the UK pop is just 67M, and I've done some population counting and the whole of the UK, Ireland, Norway, Sweden and Finland put together. Just to watch that video how crazy to have a video that 5 counties population viewed it once.

[@A.Netizen.Since.2010]

​@@deathmisser85 ..That's really really crazy !!! WOW !

[@rrice1705]

Oh wow, I thought the 2016 version looked great, but the new animation makes it look like a 1990s video game. I really like the "greening" effect of the seawater in the interior shots of the updated version. Terrific work to everyone at THG!

[@matthewbarabas3052]

i never saw a 1990s video game look that good.

Agreed, it's gotten worse. Overly saturated.

[@lukethomas.125]

When you see the progression from 2016 to 2024, you can really appreciate the dedication and attention to detail by the developpers, really well done to all involved. Also, it turns out that this year, April 10th will be a Wednesday, Titanic left Southampton on Wednesday April 10th 1912, so that means that the sinking will indeed take place on both Sunday April 14th and Monday April 15th

[@connorredshaw5650]

Your realtime sinking animation from last year was just amazing probably the most accurate sinking animation yet. I can't wait for this years animation

[@RobloxianX]

had a ton of issues and wasnt that good really, it had information we knew since 2019. Most of it is just stuff we already knew and no actual advancements into researching the ship, im not hearing anything good about the new animation from some test watchers so I wouldn't get too excited.

[@diogosantos5426]

​@@RobloxianXI could point out the worst aspects of the animation, I'm curious, I don't know all the events of sinking

[@Wolfric_Rogers]

We're all curious, but the 2023 animation did have a lot of issues, especially timings.

[@diogosantos5426]

​@@Wolfric_RogersI noticed the timings a lot, there were a lot of mistakes. I'll be honest, last year the only thing I liked was starting from the break forward The sea was terrible, but Jack explained that there were bugs in the water plugs.This year it seems like the water was really good.Afterwards, and what I found worst is the direction and photography, the perspectives of the video were very boring. Sometimes they spent a lot of time focused on aerial preparations or always in the same direction.Then I didn't like the big clock that appeared every now and then and that text box.In my opinion, the 2016 animation and the 2021 tom animation have the best direction and photography. The perspectives and camera movements of the last 20 minutes of the 2021 tone animation wreck are very good and are not boring.Virtually this year's animation from THG is much better than tom, But unfortunately it fails in everything else in relation to the 2021 animation of all They have already announced that there will be a new animation this year, But from what I understand, preparations and new discoveries will only change, it seems that the graph will be the same as in 2021 unfortunately...It's wait and see

[@RobloxianX]

i got like a whole document on all the errors sent from the historical advisor of Titanic: SOS. The animation felt rushed af

[@leleroi]

the starry sky, the warm light of tantalum bulbs, the cloud of steam coming out of the safety valves. great work guys, I would like to one day see the room in different places as the passengers saw it, but for now it's really a great job. 👏🏻🇮🇹 greetings from Italy

[@thatsmarco7413]

👏👏

[@NegiTaiMetal011]

Just astonishing to see how these animations have evolved and improved. Quite a journey for the whole Titanic H&G team.

[@glitchkrown]

YOU FIXED THE LUMPY WATER!!!!

[@estoniaepicgamer]

Respect to the camera man who once again went back in time to make us much better video

[@RaccoonKCD]

that was original

[@eliel0503]

He really upgraded Earth's graphics

[@Maritime_History]

It's nice to see the evolution of Titanic real time sinking videos. It's crazy to think that this tradition is nearly a decade old. Keep up the amazing work.

[@LegoZoner]

Wow the past 8 years have been amazing to watch and see the hard work of putting a lost ship back together. Thank you TItanic Honor and Glory and there team for working above and beyond on this.

[@zyloproductions4870]

It’s looking more and more better by the year!

[@WhatALoadOfTosca]

Yeah by 2124 it will look even better and hopefully the game will have been released.

[@brianbommarito3376]

Excellent work, guys. It really shows how hard you’ve been working on making the experience as polished as it can possibly be. Also, the choice of “Londonderry Air” (aka “Danny Boy”) as the background music for the video is really appropriate.

[@IZI1912]

2024 animations look like a painting 😢😢😢 it's amazing

[@ice_card]

Truly the TH&G team are doing their job: bringing Titanic back to life

[@TheGeezzer]

Keep up with the superlative work on this magnificent virtual space creation. Remember it's not a game per-ce, but a complete history lesson! A virtual space history tour almost 100% accurate, that shall endure a long time in virtual space, educating everyone on all the finer aspects and details of R.M.S Titanic. This once mighty and yet eloquent queen of the seas. The Titanic is the world's most famous shipwreck and continues to provoke our fascination.

[@taylorhh3940]

Great work, especially with the water. The more recent also seem to have more blue and green filtering?? having haunting effects.

[@MikaelLV]

Love the addition of ice in the area around the ship.

[@Capt.SumTingWong]

It’s great to see the 2024 animation will depict the many reported icebergs around the Titanic. Animations always only show the one it hit as a lone berg in a vast sea.

[@T3ki1a_]

I was at an expo in Brussels earlier and they were using your animation. Quite nice to see

[@RobloxianX]

cant wait to see what the 2017-2020 animation pre final plunge was like

[@Jack_Kennedy1987]

Well, they only included the real times they published to their channel

[@cat-a-tonic150]

The 2016 version has its own charms. The ship looks pristine which adds to the sadness of the tragedy.

[@Rayrard]

Love to see the lighting effects closer to what reality would have looked like. The warm blue and green effects still give visibility but also stress how relatively dark it was with the electrical system taking a beating later in the sinking and probably being very dark in the areas with water.

[@lachlanw8127]

I love how for 2024 you gave the lights the reddish glow which survivor's say is what it looked liked as the sinking progressed.

[@AmbiAnts589]

Incredible work. I am so thankful that you guys are still here working on this wonderful detailed experience.

[@yvetteaguirre9522]

You guys have a come a long way. The animation continues to bring us to the moment of what happened on that fateful night.💙

[@puterboy2]

It’s amazing how in just 7 years, these guys made an improvement.

[@Bryzerse]

Wow I don't think I ever appreciated just how far these animations have come. Can't believe it's been 8 years since that original.

[@sallykohorst8803]

Amazing video as we come up to the 112th anniversary of the sinking RIP to all those souls.

[@EvantheKidDS]

It’s incredible seeing how far this project has come, with so much improvement over the years. My only critique of this was the water reflection on the ceiling and walls of the areas that were flooding, I think that needs some work.

[@Parkast]

As amazing as the animation looks now, something that I dearly missed from the 2016 version in 2023 was the band's list of songs and the real-time sounds of the morse code going out. I felt like the information and overall understanding of what was happening and when was slightly better in 2016, and I hope that 2024 can have at least some of that. Overall, excellent work, looks wonderful, and I can't wait to watch this masterpiece!

[@samudamico764]

amazing improvement. great job. the 2016 sequence however will always be special to me, because it made me discover this project, as well as Demo 3, with those atmospheres where everything was still a discovery. keep up the good work.

[@themodernold]

Amazing work guys! Just absolutely captivating to watch the progress over the years :)

[@eliel0503]

[@Kaidhicksii]

Watching my favorite ship die is a heart-wrenching experience (and don't even get me started w/ the human tragedy that came w/ it like so many other wrecks), but it is nothing short of incredible seeing the extent to how you lot recreated that night and continue to improve on it still. Next thing you know we'll have full on character models and animations for the people who were there.

[@Aurem15]

Yay, interior shots

[@danyeli63]

Amazing 😊❤

[@F-Man]

To call this beautiful might not be quite appropriate, as it is, after all, commemorating and depicting, in extreme detail, a horrific tragedy. However, what this surely is is a master work of incredible value. I hope the premiere goes well - I’ll be there.

[@vincentcerasoli5969]

After 10 years I've learned to stop asking when is the game coming out. If it happens, it happens.

[@Vaskalen]

The lighting looks fantastic! There are even refractions of the water on the ceiling/wall for the interior shots and at 3:40 it looks like one of Ken Marshall's paintings to a tee! Pardon the pun, but it's a night and day difference between this coming weekend and 8 years ago.

[@alfiea1211]

@@JoeyMartz Animating passengers would require hiring an outside studio, which they have tried to do in the past but it is ridiculously expensive. Animating humans requires a whole different skill set, it's very different to animating a ship sinking. A few years ago they tried using basic humanoids to represent the passengers, I personally don't think that was a bad compromise.
