Jorian Drake Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I really liked the videos in Imperium Galactica 2. They had some neat dogfighting videos. Unfortunately they aren't up on youtube. I have the disks around here somewhere and they have all the videos on there som "They Shinari escorts are deserting us!" *blows up* whoa, true. i have to ask the DR guys (Digital Reality NOT dark raven ) to put them on their site together with the IG1 ones and those of Haegemony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantousent Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I'll definitely go with Grim Fandango and PS:T. Blizzard is famed for its cinematics, which is a distinction they have earned. Blizzard cut-scenes and intro are truly excellent.

Dark_Raven Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Both Fallouts had good intros. Indeed. Plus most Blizzard vids but I especially like the ones from StarCraft. Speaking of Blizzard, both Diablos were pretty good. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q2irKqWjZOk This trailer. The Gamespy list is rubbish, by the way. Nice. Grim Fandango had some fairly awesome cutscenes. All of the "One Year Later" scenes were particularly cool. Yes.

SteveThaiBinh Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 The Gamespy list is rubbish, by the way. Ooh, a single token adventure game. What a surprise! It's Monkey Island this time.

Sargallath Abraxium Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 (edited) ...a few o' the gems in Planescape: Torment still brings me chills ta this day...in fact, I's almost due fer another playthrough (I's literally lost count as ta how many times I's played her through now)... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... Edited April 20, 2007 by Sargallath Abraxium A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bottom Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Devil May Cry 3 Openinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvkBDL3DoOA Full Throttle Opening and even though it's just a trailer, it's in-game cinematics: MGS4 Go down to E3 2K6 15 Min. Trailer HD http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=1743 Good call on Full Throttle, the most cinematic game I'd played when it was released. It still plays a lot like a good movie.

WITHTEETH Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Gabriel Knight II's . yes, GK1-s wasnt the best coz of the weird 'music' in the middle but i still think that was the best of the series as a game also Syberia and The Longest Journey 2 rocked actually i think TLJ2 is the best till now I'm going to have to stick with TLJ, not Dreamfall. I thought Dreamfall was great, but i wasn't into the whole faith theme. I think ill try Syberia, I've heard good things about it. I can't remember GK2 very well... I mainly remember how much i enjoyed it. Thats one of those games i should reinstall sometime. I really miss good adventure games, although games like KoTOR and Oblivion are great too.

GreasyDogMeat Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 (edited) For the 20th anniversary to the 1982 horror movie 'The Thing' a survival horror video game was created. The Cons: -Graphics weren't too impressive, even for the time. -Some fairly repetitive sections -Lack of the ability to save at any time -The RJ McReady character is in the game, but he isn't voiced by Kurt Russel. -While the game answers many questions, it ends simlar to the movie with more questions. -The story is at times hard to follow. -The documents you find are not written very professionally. The Pros: -Did an amazing job of capturing the isolation and mistrust of the movies. Your squad members have a morale. Give them a good weapon and they trust you more... but what if you give a good weapon to someone who is the thing? Thats right, the squad is randomly infected. The guy on one play through who helps you could mutate the next time you turn your back. -The Morale system. Like I said above, give a guy a weapon and he is more confident. Give him a crappy pistol, or lead them into dangerous or disturbing areas with bodies and they start breaking down. Their breathing becomes more rapid, they vomit at the site of bodies and if the pressure just gets to much, they will take their own lives with the weapons you give them, or panic in a firefight and shoot at you. You can prevent a NPC from killing themselves by taking their gun away, but that just makes them even more frightened. -The guy who played the Cigarette Smoking Man lends his voice to a major character. -A good length to the game. -Oh, and this fricken' awesome trailer done like a hollywood movie trailer. Warning, contains adult sequences. http://www.ifilm.com/video/2460393 Unfortunatly the trailer is rather low quality, it sounds so much better if you can find a high quality version...but I couldn't Another trailer I loved was the... Duke Nukem Forever trailer. Yeah, it still hasn't come out, but that 2001 trailer still rocked. Edited April 20, 2007 by GreasyDogMeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Lost Planet cinematics are awesome, when there's action. Otherwise it gets a little boring. But best? I'm tempted to say Halo, but its not that good. Blizzard is a master at it though. Diablo cinematics, warcraft cinematics and the BC teaser are great examples. Oh wait, best ever? The Halo teaser "starry night" shown during a football game. You just CAN'T get any better than that. But you can get longer. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.

Aram Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I know the choppy wierd animation in the Last Express kind of disqualifies it, but there were some pretty memorable cinematic moments all over that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 FF8's opening intro is perhaps the best intro to a game I have veer played/seen. Absolutely bretahtaking, and has never been matched since (or before). Other cinematics/cutscenes have been fanastic, and come from many games; but that one sits alone on top of the Cinematic Mountain. I agree (Strangely enough), but the music is half of the sheer awesomeness of the whole thing. Thanks to Uematsu, an otherwise great intro was turned into the pinnacle of intros. "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramza Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Many cutscenes and movies from Grandia and Lunar (for psone) are worth mentioning too. It has been so long since I last played them that I don't recall all of them though. Lunar 1's ending scenes were very good though (I wil never forget those). "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them! Quick, throw nuts!" -Minsc "I am a well-known racist in the Realms! Elves? Dwarves? Ha! Kill'em all! Humans rule! -Me Volourn will never grow up, he's like the Black Peter Pan, here to tell you that it might be great to always be a child, but everybody around is gonna hate it.
