Zelda intro on Philips CDi (Worst. Version. Ever)

firefly says...

An excerpt from wiki--
"As a result of the early negotiations between Phillips and Nintendo to develop a joint CD-system, Phillips ended up with the rights to develop games around five Nintendo characters. Among those selected by Phillips were Link and Zelda from the popular Legend of Zelda series. Wand of Gamelon and Link: The Faces of Evil were given the relatively low budgets of $600,000 each and it was decided by the Cambridge-based development team, led by Dale DeSharon, to develop the two games in tandem in order to more efficiently use the budget. On this low budget, each aspect of the two games was handled by the same small group of people. The two most maligned mistakes, the full motion video (FMV) animation and voice acting were also the result of cost-cutting and industry inexperience: The FMV sequences demanded by Phillips were outsourced to the newly opened Russian market, and the results, with their Russian style, were disastrous; the voice actors, selected from local AFTRA actors were completely misdirected and amateurish.[3] As these two areas were considered key benefits to the CD-based technology, their flaws were all the more magnified."

I guess we now know why there is no voice-acting on the Nintendo systems!

Yeah: the original 'gameplay' video (above) was a little disappointing due to them changing various units near the end of development (as said in the presentation). I think the story FMV makes up for the slightly bland in-game shots...and the second is much better - but I thought the first is a logical place to start (especially for the story since the orginal). I'll change the link to the Gameplay Trailer #2 (with Kane, also linked above) if Sifters prefer it?

And Supreme Commander looks OK Farhad...but C&C will always be the original, and the best in my opinion (despite the fact Westwood Studios is now under EA!) Plus, as you said: "Oh Tanya, oh NOD obelisk, Oh the memories" - well Kane & his Obelisk of Light are back!

Brendotroy: watch the 20 minute presentation at GC06 for more gameplay...I posted this one as it's the first trailer with gameplay footage; the other seven videos show more of the storyline (FMV) and in-game graphics/features (the presentation goes into alot more detail on the units themselves, rather than the 'buildings' seen in-game).
