I've played this game a lot, and am thoroughly confused as to how many of these I have not seen before. Very fun to get to see some for the first time.
22:01 is such a nostalgic video! Especially with the music. I remember watching that as a kid. As a 27 year old, I cannot wait to get ahold of all these games again.
never noticed the nod abrams at 7:50 Also, notice how gates were on the mind of westwood already on tib dawn, notice on 15:11 scene how there are vertical gates.
You should check out the N64 port, while not as many overall due to limitations of the console, it had fun little fully rendered cutscenes using the 3D graphics that were exclusive to the port. Ironically one of them is a Nod Abrams smashing thru one of those gates.
Westwood pmuch had Tib Sun in mind before they wanted to make Tib Dawn and thus came up with a lot of concepts that they never ended up using in TD but did in TS, you even have concept art of things like the Jumpjet Trooper made way before TS
At 20:12, 20:15 and 20:21, you can actually see the in-game model versions of the temple of nod, power plant and the communications center as FMV assets. Also, if you look carefully at 20:21, there is an error on the small squared-shaped radar dish as it's floating instead of being placed on the building's roof. Probably westwood didn't even bother to redo the whole cutscene only to fix this as it's very dark and blurry, hence, unnoticeable at first sight.
> The purpose here is to present them how it could have been with the original VHS frame rate. VHS frame rate is 25 FPS for PAL and 29.97 for NTSC. Dunno where you get the idea that it was 60. Great work anyways.
This is due to the video resampling issue. The tapes are running at the frame rate you've mentioned, but without progressive scan that doubles the frame rate.
