Hi Folks,
The big difference between Wing Commander games and other (space) sims was (or is..) the fact that you can somehow "influence" the process of the game.
Furthermore you are part of a living environment - displayed with movies - you "interact" with other crew members, there is friendship, treachery, love etc. It is a big difference if you get your mission briefing from a censorious Captain Eisen or from an anonymus text.
Now (finally) my question:
I'am nearly sure that it is not possible to have interactive movies in the FS2 engine, but in the briefing screen movies would be possible (although no interactive ones..).
Is something like that planned ?
Would it be a crime to extract certain movies from WC3 or WC4 to use them in WC SAGA --> or let's say to "rebuild" for example WC3 as closely as possible and to make this "Remake" available for download (haha..I'm nearly sure that's electrocution in the US..) ?
It's strange that it is no more possible to buy WC3 or WC4 (not even WC Prophecy Gold) and that programming code, films etc. are still kept "protected" by EA --> learn a lesson from volition !!
Regards, thank you in advance for WC SAGA + sorry about my English (it's obvious that it is not my native language)
