MadMikeAU Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 TLS was interesting because it was the first movie to do whole shots in CGI. Although it needed a Cray Supercomputer to do it. Nowadays you can go down crime convertors and pick up an out of date $25 console that would do a better job Other movies of note... Joysticks (aka Video Madness) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Star Wars?:unsure The Robocop movies used excellent stop photography (esp. on the ED-209) Terminator 2 used 'go photography'. Basically, life sized 'puppets' that mimicked and actor.

Didn't realise that Totall Recall was done with minatures must watch again ....Something about CGI that makes it to unreal..maybe just me..I remember when the first PS was released and all these cut scenes with amazing graphics, then you would play the game and it was nothing like the intro video or whatever..a Totall Letdown.:lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Bumper Pete Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Back to the original question Was Mortal combat an arcade game or console first, as there has been a few MC movies (they weren't that bad either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lien_Zed Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 ok. i have ripped the ntsc dvd with dvd decrypter and it plays back off hdd fine using power dvd.i told dvd decrypter to make the output multiregion. i tried to convert it to divx using divx convertor ver 6.2 and the sound works fine, but i get stripy lines all over the screen. i might try avi2dvd by trust fm and see how i go. any other suggestions?

bwodie Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 sounds like the lines are due to encoding being done interlaced. http://www.doom9.org/ http://www.videohelp.com/convert follow any guides from those sites and you will be set :) Back to the original question Was Mortal combat an arcade game or console first, as there has been a few MC movies (they weren't that bad either) Mortal Kombat was the first entry in the famous Mortal Kombat fighting game series by Midway, released in arcades in 1992. It was later picked up by Acclaim Games for the home version, then later returned to Midway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
