I was playing No More Heroes for a few hours last night, and it occurred to me that it has some of the greatest cutscenes I've ever seen in a video game. Then I thought, I wonder what other titles have such amazing cutscenes. What game do you guys think has the greatest cutscenes in history?
i know of a lot, but the first that comes to mind is re:cv.....the beginning with claire escaping that lab, the helicopter blasting on the building and when claire drops her gun, falls, catches it and shoots the explosives behind it. seeing that game for the first time on the dc was mind blowing, id never seen cgi done that well before.
One that I can remember loving off the top of my head is in MGS 2 when Ocelot owns those soldiers with his gun at the end of the tanker sequence. I thought the thing with the coat was especially cool.
atlus games... nocturne III or digital devil saga, anyone who says final fantasy is a noob..Bdking57
Actually, now that I think about it - the Trauma Center titles have some pretty cool cutscenes (with exception to the sections flooded with a novel worth of text).
Yeah, I saw some of the cutscenes in NMH, and I couldn't help but go OMG. Blizzard also makes great cutscenes. Starcraft Brood War's opening is still one of my favorites to this day. Kingdom Heart's opening cutscene was pretty good. Hell, practically all the cutscenes in Square games are pretty decent. Atlus games also have some pretty impressive stuff.
Eledees gets my vote. It has some of the most luscious, beautiful, hand-painted images I've ever seen. Though the voice-acting sucks. The pictures are much nicer than some average CG boredom.
Metal Gear Solid series cutscenes, although longwinded sometimes, never fail in immersing the player in a world that actually feels real (which might sound weird what with crazy and unusual characters/gameplay, but that's just to the casual observer or dissatisfied customer)
Don't mean to cream all over myself, but I can't help it. These cutscenes are just so damn good.
