And even when we rebooted the franchise a bit in 2007 with C&C3, we went back to the FMVs as well and had a great cast and just everyone had a lot of fun and the fans really loved it.Īnd so, when thinking about remastering the old titles, it just would not have been the same if we weren’t able to reuse some of that old footage, and because the performances are so iconic - you know, Joe Kucan and his first performances as Kane, one of gaming’s most iconic villains. They’ve just been part of the franchise ever since.
And there some great documentaries out there that talk about that journey from back in the ’90s. Westwood had found a way to develop an algorithm and compress these onto CDs back in the day and somehow get hours of video footage. You know, they’ve been there from the beginning back in 1995. Jim Vessella: Yeah, the FMV cutscenes are really part of the DNA of the franchise. Can you start off by explaining why these cutscenes were so important to fans in the first place? So it sounds like one of the big challenges was getting these FMV cutscenes in Remastered. Just before its release, I spoke with producer Jim Vessella, a self-described “lifelong fan of C&C,” to dig into the specific challenge of taking full-motion video sequences from the mid-’90s and making them not look horrible in 2020. Earlier this month, Electronic Arts released Command & Conquer Remastered Collection, a set that includes updated versions of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn and Command & Conquer: Red Alert, along with various expansion packs and new features.
