Regardless of your view of what is "really" in the WC universe and what isn't, what incarnation of WC do you think looks the best? Which one is the coolest?
My personal vote is WC1 and the original Secret Missions. Later versions had more bells and whistles, higher resolutions, 3D, etc., but none of them quite held the same punch. I was actually a bit disappointed to see WC3 switch over to FMV, as cool as the FMV was, because I much preferred the animated look.
The very best "moment" any WC game, for me, was the "scramble" sequence from WC1, all the red lights while you ran to your fighter, with that fast-moving march playing to get you moving. (I also liked that the march reappeared in WC3, even if it was in a watered-down form.)
If I could have my way, future WC games would get away from FMV and go back to animated cutscenes. They could be more animated than just Privateer's talking heads, certainly ... but they'd probably be cheaper than FMV and still carry the same emotional punch.
Granted, I'm a cartoonist, so that opinion may well be a minority view.
Anyway, I'm curious as to what other people like. The moody 'toons of WC1 and WC2? The beat up grunge of WC4? The gray blocks of WC3? The antiseptic high tech of WC? Or even the WWII ductwork of the WC movie?
