Call me the eternal optimist, but I knew it was going to happen, and I was just a wee 'un back then!vinylrake wrote:
As someone with at least close to half a brain who was fairly sentient back then I don't think it was at all obvious in 1997 that the two platforms would end up a lot more closely integrated.
Don't get me wrong... Apple were in the hole until they gave Gil the finger, and I suppose it took a while for the iMac to grab people (I truly wasn't interested until the DV model came out).
All the same, it seemed obvious to me in '97 that Windows or Mac weren't going to really dominate as of their own ; seeing as though the Windows OS was genuinely *shit* back then, and Mac just didn't have the numbers. While to me it was obvious that the two OS'es would start to imitate more and more of the others features, I couldn't have told you Intel would start making chips for Mac or anything; but I knew the two would be cosier in the future. Maybe it was a good guess, or the only intuitive leap I've made in my short short life?
As for Quicktime back then... actually yeah, I do have to agree that it wouldn't have exactly been a viable alternative for the Myth cutscenes (I'm thinking back to the Myth preview video on all the demo CDs back then... blurry stuff!)
But when I say SMK wasn't a great idea, I was thinking ahead a couple of years. Sure enough, it's almost 10 years later, and no one really uses SMK that much. There are better formats available - there were better formats available when Myth II came out, I feel.
Besides.... MPEG video has been around long enough, hasn't it? Hmm... I work so often with video, yet I often forget some of the dates, but I was pretty sure some form of MPEG-1 or some such existed in '97.
Hmm!
Okay I got the models but now I'm too dumb to do anything with 'em
