FUSER

This page details pre-release information and/or media for FUSER.

To do: Look at Notes#Prototype/Pre-Release Resources for missing stuff. Make Development Timeline if possible.

2019 Overview Trailer#

To do: Add stuff from the video that is not mentioned here. (There's a lot, may move to a separate page if it gets too long).

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Which keyzones go to what parts for Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer - Give Me Everything (Notes can be taken from the .fusion file since the .mogg file is encrypted; 1 & 2 are probably Major/Minor, 3 is unpitched, 4 is unknown).

Watch on YouTube

• The low-poly audience is full of dummy models that are colored various basic colors.

• Various songs have different artwork from the final release:
  • The Clash - Rock The Casbah uses its single artwork.
  • Deee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart uses the World Culture album artwork.
  • EMF - Unbelievable uses the Schubert Dip album artwork.
  • J Balvin and Willy William - Mi Gente uses temporary artwork for the first half, then uses the used single artwork later in the video.
  • Lizzo - Good As Hell uses the Coconut Oil extended play cover (which is the actual first release) instead of the Cuz I Love You album artwork (because of the Super Deluxe release).
  • LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem uses its single artwork.
  • Lil Nas X (feat. Billy Ray Cyrus) - Old Town Road uses its single artwork.

  • Dua Lipa - New Rules
  • EMF - Unbelievable
  • Glen Campbell - Gentle On My Mind

• The keyzones for Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer - Give Me Everything are set differently. By the end of Pitbull's verse, the start of Ne-Yo's vocals are unpitched until the loop starts again. In the final game Ne-Yo's vocals at that part are fully pitched due to Pitbull's verse being at different keyzones and start/end offset frames.
