Wonder if there are high-res cutscenes hidden away somewhere? There'd have to be, they wouldn't just do one random frame.

Of course there is, hidden away on some rotting data tape somewhere.

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

They said they were considering it.  And yeah, they did rot a little.  :(

uuurggh!  I hate Shima and the Bastion!  Her fighter bay/Hall area looks better than my Galatea! 


Granted it's now my wallpaper...[/size]
I reject your reality and substitute my own, hence my existance on the Galatea!

I remember waiting HOURS to download these over 56k off of that website. Christ. I was like 10 years old.

Re: Ultra high-res renders
What year would these renders have been made by Volition?  These things are almost on par with today's next gen consoles/current pc games, some of them not just almost...

Yes, there are, but most of them are not that high-res. And they are disappearing quickly...

Those images look more like they came from the Descent Network. I've got some super-high resolution Descent: FreeSpace images from that site in my backup CDs, but don't ask me to go and find them (because I'm shifting house). :ick:

Re: Ultra high-res renders
I found something awesome which most people forgot about if they forgot exactly the same stuff I forgot about. I'm uploading it now, but my connection is abnormally slow.

http://www.game-warden.com/masterpokey/FS1/FS1Stuffs.zip

It's got PROMO.exe, Run-16s.exe, and that colored head anim.

...Ah, those were on the Silent Threat CDs?  Or the Descent/Conflict: FreeSpace CDs?  I forget.

Re: Ultra high-res renders
Promo.exe is from the Descent: FreeSpace CD (I can't remember which disk) and Run-16s.exe and the head anim are from the silent thread cd.

A video that promoted Fs2.  I think it's the same one that was played when you installed it.
