Check Out Videos From The Other Side (March 18, 2006)

Mark from QDQP let us know that his site now hosts a Command & Conquer movie archive. He has converted the game's intro and ending movies, mission briefings and a few critical plot sequences into divx files for nostalgic fans to check out. We've occasionally referred to Command & Conquer as a sibling series and one of the few non-Wing Commander franchises to successfully employ full motion video. The original C&C in 1995 used similar techniques to Wing Commander 3's green screen overlays for its CGI. Some of the earliest fan videos I saw in the mid nineties combined elements from WC3 and Tiberian Dawn in an exciting mix. C&C First Decade was the first game to reveal Wing Commander Privateer's involvement in a new EA/GameTap partnership this spring.




My current project is to rip all the FMVs from the games (game intro, game endings, mission briefings etc). Since C&C and Wing Commander 3-4-P are from the same era maybe it is nice to make a comparison between the FMVs of both game series.
Due to space and bandwidth constraints, this is the only game in the series that Mark currently plans to post.

"Bandwidth restrictions"...no kidding! I'm downloading at about 4KB a second. :) Perhaps if I can get them all I'll mirror them for him.
 
Got all of them. Pretty fast, too. Those were some nice movies. They feel so 1995, I really like them.
 
If you watch the NOD ending video, you can tell that was from an era when people thought VRML actually had a future.
 
Thanks to Maj.Striker's offered webspace, now also the FMVs of the second Command and Conquer: Red Alert are available for download!
