Yeah, Mechcommander and MechWarrior 4 had suprisingly good live action stuff.
My favourite little thing about Mechcommander was that once you started the mission you got screen with “Connecting to the battlefield…” and static and noise. That’s one way of making loading screens more diegetic, I guess.
I remember watching the Mechcommander opening scene a bunch, which apparently got a remaster.
Looks like the Mechwarrior intros all got remasters–here’s MW2

That was a very well produced intro movie. I was even impressed by the acting and back then VG acting was…not great.
Except for the Red Alert C&C movies. “SPACE!!”
Anyone remember the Wing Commander 3 and 4 cutscenes?
Mark Hammil, John Ryhs-Davies, Malcolm McDowell, Tom Wilson, Casper Van-Dien, and even Walton Goggins!
