Missing Movie Cuts Collected

AD was checking out all the Wing Commander movie trailers in our Holovids section and noticed a few discrepancies. Upon closer inspection, he managed to isolate several short clips that didn't make it to the final version of the movie. There's about thirty seconds of new material in all. AD has added subtitles to describe what is unique about each scene. These can go by quick, so get ready to pause. Although we still hope to get ahold of entire missing segments someday, this is pretty neat. The effort required to put this together reminds me of panning for gold in Gold Rush. You can grab the 5 meg video here.

And Also Polterguy Was There!

Still not sold on EA Replay? Remember that you don't just get Wing Commander and The Secret Missions for your $19.99... you get twelve other games! Electronic Arts has released screenshots showing six of these in action -- B.O.B, Budokan, Desert Strike, Haunting, Road Rash and Virtual Pinball. Screenshots showing the two games most related to Wing Commander, Syndicate and Ultima VII, are presumably forthcoming.
