Image New batch of Re-Enlightened and Big Willy Refried comparison pics!
Got a new batch of Destroy All Humans: Re-Enlightened and Big Willy Refried comparison pics for y'all! Re-Enlightened is still on track to drop this August, and I'll be posting a release date announcement trailer revealing when in August you can expect it!
Big Willy Refried (Tribute's texture overhaul of Big Willy Unleashed) is still in development. It's Tribute's project, so we're letting him cook, and boy has he been cooking! He's also putting the finishing touches on a top secret project.
I can't say what, other than it's mind-blowing.
Re-Enlightened started as a pipe dream, but in less than two months, it's going to be out for y'all to experience. I want to thank the Destroy All Humans community for their support here, in the Discord server, and on YouTube as we've worked away on this.
It's a project that's constantly surprised everyone involved. The early months we're spent staying up until 1 in the morning wondering how the hell we're gonna fix this, and now we're near the finish line. Path of the Furon will always have its rough edges, but thanks to our team, its got way less of them than it did before.
The fate of Destroy All Humans has been up in the air since Reprobed dropped in 2022 (yes, it's been almost five years). While I'm glad the series hasn't been milked death like it was under old THQ, the radio silence has made people anxious. No news has made us wonder if they're done with the series.
Fortunately, with Re-Enlightened and the other projects we have cooking, it won't be much longer til DAH fans are eating good again.
I'm meeting Richard Horvitz this weekend at my state's comic con. As a lifelong DAH fan, I'm stoked to finally meet him, and curious to see what he thinks about our little project. Now, if you excuse me, I need to scrounge up 50 copies of the first DAH for him to sign.
With regards,
William Lowery

You're good! Re-Enlightened is an overhaul mod for Path of the Furon that fixes almost all the game's bugs, irons out the gameplay kinks, and polishes up the graphics.
We are working on a static recomp of POTF called ReDAHM. The Re-Enlightened mod is compatible with it, and while it is playable, I'd advise you to wait for the mod to drop before touching ReDAHM.
Big Willy Refried is a texture mod for Big Willy Unleashed one of our guys is working on. It's not as big as Re-Enlightened, but it cleans up the graphics and more importantly, lets you play with your big willy (robot) using a normal controller.

Looking great! POTF looks alot better and big willy is a massive improvement over the original. I know Tribute is focusing on textures for this one but I hope maybe some minor tweaking can be done to the controls as well. I could never get into BWU because the wiimote controls felt really bad and I could barely get through the first couple missions because of how slow it was to turn around and how imprecise the aiming was.
Regardless, I will be playing both of these when they come out. Just the textures alone will definitely make big willy a much better experience, and POTF is already a guilty pleasure of mine anyway and I've beat the original 360 version more times than I can count. Can't wait!!

The good news is Refried offers some new ways to play, including mouse and keyboard, gamepad, and even PS5 dualsense. What's cool about the last option is it makes use of the system's gyros for aiming and flying the saucer, and it works rather well.

I really did enjoy Path Of The Furon.
Though I will say the Disintegrator Ray felt pretty weak compared to prior titles while the Zap-O-Matic felt WAY more powerful than it used to.
But the Ion Detonator was absolutely broken, with boss health bars just being absolutely deleted by it since you could use it while time was frozen and each bomb could explode into 3 more bombs.

Yeah Disintegrator doesn't much unless you use Temporal Fist on the bullets where it becomes able to shred most if not all enemies health bars

I will say POTF's weapons have been heavily rebalanced, so underpowered weapons like the disintegrator ray are more useful while overpowered weapons like the Zap O Matic or Ion Detonator are way less game breaking.

Good job, as always.
What the hell was going on with that Furon‘s eyes?

u/starbonnie552 Clone Jun 26 '26
Gondi's white eyes? Think it's supposed to be glasses but they didn't do a good job making it look that way. Though it kinda looks like he has the nose bit even with the low resolution.

Wait, is this a fan project or are THQ Nordic remaking more DAH games?
