Video Game narration & news

[jewels]

The opening narration for the video game has been uploaded on the Galactica 2003 website. It is an MP3 file about 1.3MB in size. If anyone wants to hear what Moore's new Galactica background story sounds like, they can go there to hear it.

Thanks for the info, Apothis.

(I'm going by the info he sent me for which posting thread it belongs to, but?? thought it prequelled TOS.)

EDIT ::link changed::

[This is] the exact quote for the brand new narration of the video game:

"There are those who believe in something they call free will, and there are others that believe in destiny. Legend tells how our ancestors arrived on the planet Kobol in twelve great space arks, carrying their fragile human cargo of human lives and hopes across the black deserts of the vast and hostile Universe, to build a heaven for them selves, there among the stars.

The clever machines they built to serve them grew tired of their chains. They turned on human kind, murdering millions in a single night of blood and death. The great Colonial heroes of old fought back, forcing the machines into space. Exiling their twisted creations to the stars.

Ten years ago, the skies over Caprica turned black once more with Cylon Raiders. They had returned…

For ten years, the Colonial survivors fought a vicious running war with the all-conquering machine empire of the Cylons. Ten years of rations. Ten years of genocide and loss. Ten years of fear. It is the end of the sixth millennium, in the era of the Cylon Wars. This is a time of the great Battlestars Columbia, Rycon, Atlantia, Pegasus, and Galactica…"

The actual narration can be downloaded www.galactica2003.net but not everyone has a fast connection. At least having the text will help with the discussion.

Ok, the vg.htm link is 404, and if I click on the main site to verify the info, all I get is a blank page with a heading, and nothing more. No site.

Can you verify this one, Jewels? I want to be sure it's legit.

Apothis said Vince was rearranging things. I checked and link in 1st post will now take you directly to where the quicktime mp3 file is.

From Apothis:
We just added the first two videoclips of the Ron Moore prequel video game on the website. Hito did the screen captures and lowered the frame rate to 15fps instead of 30fps to get a smaller file. Hito even removed the sound but it is still pretty cool to see how Moore's vision of Vipers with missiles and how the Galactica looks when it goes FTL.

Note he said the sound was deleted to get it streamlined for downloading. [the game division exhibiting more sense than.... sorry not supposed to editorialize here :D]
