In-Game Video Content and other Extras
« on: December 21, 2007, 11:45:56 pm »
I've noticed that the downloads for the entire game have slowly been getting larger as it has been developed, and since there have been ideas for more content, including video support, to be included, has anyone thought of making some of the content optional?  Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy to see more stuff in the game, but I'm starting to feel sorry for those with dial-up connections.

I'm not sure if this has already been addressed, but would it be possible for the programmers to code the game so that if the program doesn't find some additional content it would simply show some of the existing still-shot pictures, or automatically use videos in the UFOPedia and cutscenes etc. if it finds them in the installation directory?  Maybe have more than one version available once the whole game no longer fits on a CD?

(Sorry if this was already brought up.)
