Twenty-one posts up to this thread, and no word from the Kanemeister himself. He is sitting in his chair, a shadow covering his face, hands steepled before him, and a soft red light in the background revealing his bald silhouette. He watches us.
Much as many companies love cgi, there will always be retro-developers out there who will still bring out full motion video for use in a game now and again. I had installed Wing Commander: The Price of Freedom, and was blown away by the cinematics then(of course that was green screen, but still FMV). I feel bad that my X-wing/Tie Fighter hands just couldn't handle the flight scheme of that WC. I still have the discs tucked away nice and safe.
I may take a trip down retro lane sometime and try a few C&C's inbetween SC2 episode releases. Joseph D. Kucan [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0473614/], the face and voice of Kane(and director of many C&C's)*, is quite the engaging actor. Makes me wonder what he would do with a movie script.
*:Who might be an alias or even a stand-in for a Russ Pitts, a well known and respected Editor-in-Chief of an awesome gaming web-magazine. Details are circumstantial and sketchy at best. As of this time many sources have been reported to change their statements about any details proving any links.**
**:Many conspiracy theorists hold that Kane is real, and Mr. Pitts and/or Mr. Kucan may be stand-ins to build the mythology of Kane's eminence. But no evidence exists to prove this.
