Cut scenes : V

» Mon Aug 10, 2009 7:28 am

I found the only major cut scenes in Oblivion were the intro and ending. The rest were just your character being stuck in place and watching something mushed together by the game physics engine rather than cool movements and unique fights. What do you think?

If they implement the CoD style (where the camera is taken partial hold of, but you can still move it), that would be the best way. I want to stay immersed in the 1st person if I am playing in the 1st person.

Well, nowadays, most cutscenes are rendered in game.

I hope TESV will do the same from the 3rd person perspective this time.

Keep the cinematics for the beginning and the end. Anything in between would break the immersion, in my opinion.

I don't want any more cut scenes than the two. One at the beginning and one at the end. Thats the way its always been. As much as I like cut scenes I want to have full control over my character at all times. You should be able to walk away from people in mid conversation too.

Cutscenes have never been a part of The Elder Scrolls and never should be. I'm fine with cutscenes for beginning and end, like it always has been. But more than that? No. No no no. No no no no no. It takes away a lot of the immersion unique to TES.

Only major cutscenes. Intro and end of the MQ.

Depends on the developers, if they have to spend too much time and resources on it, then no. Theres simply other "important" ascpects of TES that needs improvement.

I like cut-scenes..but I don't want to see my character portryed as that would destroy the premise of being anyone you want as they would probably have a cut-out standard in there.

I'd like the beginning and the end of the main quest to have huge cinematic cut scenes but during the majority of the game I'd like to have this too.

in game render is the way to go

I hope TESV has a few more cutscenes.

Cutscenes for dream sequences, perhaps? Nothing more, though.

A game should use a minimal amount of cutscenes. The point of a game is to be interactive, cutscenes are not. If you want to watch a non-interactive piece of entertainment, buying a blu-ray movie is a better option.

As I see it, a game only use cutscenes when the game designers are too incompetent or too lazy to incorperate the story into the gameplay. They are a disgrace to the game medium.

MGS4 had like 4 hours worth of cut scenes. Man, those game designers must have been lazy to the extreme. :sleep2:

Only if it is like a dialogue with multiple NPCs and you are listening to them talk. There was something like that in a quest in OB, I forgot which one though. I think like how they do it in CoD is a good way.

I'm not playing Final Fantasy, so no, I don't need any cutscenes.

» Mon Aug 10, 2009 11:47 am

I'm fine if there are custscenes, I'm fine if there aren't.

If there are, though. I do not want my player character to participate in them.

I'd prefer no cutscenes, or any parts where you weren't in control of your character.

Felt more like 8 to me.

I rather enjoyed the cut scene at the end of Morrowind's MQ. I think since there had been no cut scenes at all up to that point, it just really served to hit home that you'd done something seriously epic. That's why I support cut scenes for the game start and end, and nothing more.

CUTSCENES + CINEMATIC CONVERSATIONS.

No cutscenes, I want all integrated with the gameplay. Half Life 2 did it well, it didn't have a single cutscene, instead everything worked out while you played.

Cutscenes are awful. Period. In every game. Ok, fine if they're needed or the intro and end...but otherwise just no. Please no. I don't put down the money on a game to watch a frickin' movie.

If the cut scenes are like the intro to Oblivion then yes yes a hundred times yes, but I guess that could down the uniqueness to them..
