HD Landing Clips Offer a Thrilling Look at the Tri-System (November 11, 2019)

[CIC]

How incredibly flipping cool were the Privateer 2 landing sequences? Look at all the details you never got to see! These clips were spliced together from high res frame renders of the source material. It's just nuts they were putting all that detail into world building you couldn't see at 640x480 in 1996. And now it's real!

Very, very cool. Yes, I will admit, I forgot how great those landing sequences were. Looking at them, and the high quality of the original renders, I could almost believe for a moment that the company capable of producing such fine work would inevitably produce a great, fantastic game.

...Then I remember how lousy the game itself was. What a lost opportunity .

I find that the sequenzes range from cool to weird. Whats definitly cool is to see them in this quality. I think I never noticed all the details.

This is why I've always wanted access to the Wing Commander 3 original art files. I actually have a working SGI O2 machine at home with Power Animator...
