I've been mucking about with FFE3D recently and decided to download the voices for the stations as I normally have them turned off

I thought I'd have a little listen for a change, I forgot how funny some of them are. you can hear the director in one of them say"action" and in another a deep sigh before they started to talk.

Shame the video dosen't work in FFE3D would be fun to see them again.

Made me smile.

And as for the one that says "Can I help you?" in the federal shipyard.........................:eek:

There are a lot of funny moments in those videos :D

The good news is that the videos should be working again in the next release of FFE D3D.

Finally, and I may have posted this link before, visit Life On The Frontier for a great commentary on the videos :)

That's brilliant. I'm going to have a fun afternoon....:cool:
 
Why were the videos so bad?

Has Braben himself recorded them, and edited the material on some crappy mid 90's shareware program?
 
No, they are nothing to do with Frontier.

They're part of the Russian mod, and feature terrible actors with terrible scripts, filmed terribly.

I thought they were all extras from Eastenders.

Wooden acting, Hamming it up, miserable as sin etc. :D
 
Even by the standards of the day they were hilariously bad.
Privateer 2 had Clive Owen in contrast!
Now Civ4 has CVG figures (so we could see what Thargoids really look like) and voiceover by Leonard Nimoy. We expect at least that standard from E4 (oh no, development goes back another 6 months...)
 
Nice one guys.:D Yes, how did somone called Clive become a film hardman? (sorry all Clives out there). I actually quite enjoyed Privateer 2, though it's pre-scripted FMV clips and landing sequences were a step back from the reality of the FFE universe
