Return to Castle Wolfenstein - Console Cinematics [2/2]

This is part 2 of the pre-rendered cut scenes seen in the Xbox and PlayStation 2 versions of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, respectively subtitled Tides of War and Operation Resurrection.

In the PC version of RTCW, all cut scenes save for the introduction movie were rendered in-game in real time. For the console ports, it seems the developers decided convert all of these bits into pre-rendered clips, thus allowing for fancier animations (Particularly facial expressions) and enhanced visual effects. All of the cut scenes pertaining to the console-exclusive Egypt missions received the pre-rendering treatment (Incidentally the first time B.J. ever speaks) while the original levels only had the OSA meetings upgraded.

I did not include the introduction movie common to all versions or the cinematics that were simply in-game recordings. These are direct conversions of the source Bink video files from the Xbox port.

@0Heavy0Metal0 I have read all DOOM books and they are awesome. Atmospheric action, nicely ilustrating game

@DEPTrooper It was called the same name as the game. It was a paper back. There are books based on just about all the most popular games. Halo, Doom, Starcraft...the list goes on. God, I haven't read that for ten years, I bet. The Doom books were kinda lame, but think about the premise of the original, and you'll see.

There was a book written based on this game. Not bad. It actually deviated from the game in a way that was much more plausable and based on real historical data. Such as weapons and things like that.

This is one of my all time faves. There are hundreds of games with much better graphics, but you know what? It does not matter. I love the vibe this one has. It has great ambiance and creates a mood that lends itself to the gameplay. Graphics are only to sweeten an already good game, not create the game itself. There are many stunning games to look at that suck.

@rtcwingtasanandreas but again better graphics do not make a better game

[rtcwingtasanandreas]
