If you haven't yet upgraded your copy of Wing Commander Prophecy to use the astonishing DVD quality movies, then now is a good time to start downloading. The month is almost out and we have a lot of excess bandwidth. The files are available in three packs:
- Pack 1: Relive Dallas' funeral, the destruction of Eloy, Casey's promotion to the Black Widow Squadron and... the 'hundred percent speech'! 43 cinematics in .VOB format. (1.6 GB)
- Pack 2: Hawk's story arc, the landing on Dula VII and firing the plasma weapon. In all, 46 movies in .VOB format. (1 GB)
- Pack 3: This final pack includes the game's stunning conclusion, all the losing endgames... and a heck of a lot of briefings! 45 cinematics in .VOB format. (550 MB)
Look here if you want to integrate these files into the actual game. The intro movie (included in pack 1) is also available as a separate download from the Holovids section if you want to check out the quality. We compared the high resolution files to the standard CD versions in September. Mark Smids made us a stand-alone movie player with scene descriptions for easy viewing. You can find out more here. Be sure to check out the Holovids section for more cool stuff to download. Fan-made music videos, Academy TV episodes and Privateer 2 cinematics are a big hit with our visitors.
While searching around various film credits for his Outlander site, AD has uncovered a basic dogfighting trailer for Chris Roberts' now-defunct American Knight movie. He's captured the low res aerial combat video from Jeremy Braben's Helicopter Film Services promo reel. You can check it out here (9 meg divx). The clip isn't too long, but it's interesting how far the project got before disappearing.
It seems the director of aerial photography for Outlander also did some work as DoP for a project you may have heard of ages ago. It was a World War I air combat/romance that was to be directed by Chris Roberts...
