Are there video clips included while in game ?

Post by imadot »

I remember in playing Harpoon, there were many video clips in a smallish window that came up, that showed launches of various weapons etc.
Is this included in Command?

Well poo. Altho I was looking for this its definitely NOT a game stopper.

Maybe an add-on at a later time?

Thanks for the quick answers Mike! [8D]

Same clips over and over and over again and again - I'm with Hellfish.

Well, I suspect that if they really do add them in at some point, they don't have to be the same footage over and over again, do they guys?

Make them optional. I prefer getting visually informed when an event triggers.

What I would like to see is an option that when you select a unit a small window appears in one corner of the screen showing a picture of the unit selected.

OK Look I understand that seeing the same cut scene is not wanted.

I "get" that. I don't want that either...

But I also liked the idea of the visual impact, as Marder mentioned make it optional.

The idea of the picture is a good one too...

Im thinking others might like that option as well, if I may be so bold....

Nothing wrong with more options, right? [:)]

Stay tuned on this. We've been thinking about the presentation/content side a lot lately so some sort of video integration probably makes sense.

I'm with imadot on this and I like what mikmyk is saying.

It might. But every cycle a developer spends adding eye candy is a cycle lost for the core simulation issues that make this product so wonderful.

Option to toggle on and off would be a nice middle ground.

Yeah those clips in Harpoon were ok the first few times, but after that they made you want to jump out the window

Reminds of the animations in Harpoon 1. I'd sometimes forget to disable them and then I'd sit there FOREVER watching 20 missiles hit/miss a ship

Only way I could see videos being worthwhile is if it was handled like database pictures-not there by default, but something the player can add in if they feel like it. I don't use the sounds at all, and don't want to see loop after loop whenever there's a giant missile/aircraft flight.
