That's curious. I've asked on discord if anyone can reproduce.

Actually, i never heard from this Demo before and so played through it.
The movies were very irritating, because sometime both choices are played which make them hard to follow. Actually i only know what happen here, because i watched the original movie a few years back (because of its lazy mission design and op player ship at the later part of the game WCIV never qualifies as a real game IMO).
Because you play the same missions, it was a not very good campaign in mission design :D.

I suppose WCIV is pretty old -- a year older than FS1. I never played either WCIII or WCIV back in the day as I thought them just interactive movies -- looks as if I was right! :)
Even Saga suffered from the OP fighter at the end; it seems to be a characteristic of WC games.
--- Quote ---But it was interesting nevertheless. The nebula missions were fun finally thanks to the FS2 Engine. Also i liked the detail, that you are finally able to win the game if you stick yourself to the confederation.

Yes I thought this a nice touch as well.
--- Quote ---Except from all the things that were carried over. I think the ship computer voice files should be normalized to be much louder. Actually i can only barely hear it...

I'll have a look....
