I plan to have eight ingame cutscenes for ETF, but all of them will be relatively short. (I cut one other out of the script as it's probably unnecessary.)

:nod:

I have 2 planned at the moment (although only one is needed as such; the other is a combined intro / trailer) actually.  Albeit I tend to do stuff like that as much out of wanting to learn how as needing to do it.

Incidentally, I think the FS1 intro and hallfight movies in particular took between 1 and 2 years (in terms of 'man-hours') of work.  Each.

Wouldn't surprise me. I still think that the FS1 intro is the best game intro I ever saw. Not necessarily because of high-poly models or fancy render tricks.
But because of the camera movement, the cuts, the music, the character animation (you can see the panic in the pilot's eyes), etc.....all this together produces an ambience which is just perfect.

Right, if you dont destroy the lucifer, it jumps out at the ten minute and 17 second mark, which is only noticeable if you realise that not all the messages are the right amount of time apart (7 minutes is actually 179 seconds after an event that triggers 24 seconds in)... Following the departure of the lucifer (at 10:17) the mission is failed.

At 10:32, Delta 4 self destructs.
At 10:34, Delta 3 self destructs.
At 10:35, Epsilon 4 self destructs.
At 10:36, Beta 4 self destructs.
At 10:37, Alpha 2 self destructs.
At 10:39, Delta 2 self destructs.
At 10:41, Beta 2 self destructs.
At 10:43, Alpha 3 self destructs.
At 10:44, Delta 1 self destructs.
At 10:45, Beta 1 self destructs.
At 10:46, Epsilon 3, Beta 3, and Alpha 4 self destruct.
At 10:47, Alpha 1 self destructs.
