Another Poll for me, what kind of cutscenes are the best?
2004-08-23, 10:25 AM #1
For my levels/mod, I can't decide what I want to use for the cutscenes, so tell me your favorite kind from this list, or if you care to add one....
  • CG movie
  • cell shaded CG movie
  • graphic novel

And feel free to combine 2.

If you had a budget I'd say live action, but it really depends on the story for the level and the style of it.

I vote for JK-style cutscenes. Real video footage with tactful CG added here and there (i.e. 8t88, Gork and Pic).

High detail, high res, epic CG cutscenes (Final Fantasy type cutscenes)

Yea, I have a studio, actors, and props and about 1 million dollars. Yeah sure....

And its for JK, for those who aren't followin my work.

So far CG is in the lead followed closely behind by graphic novel. And if Graphic Novel wins, I need a style, such as manga, B&W, colors, etc.

Keep voting!

If the game has a good graphics engine/animation system then in-engine cutscenes are my favourite.

That, or CoD style ingame 'cutscenes' where you can move around and stuff.

Personally I think "real time graphics" (like Metal Gear Solid) will do. Somehow CGI distracts alittle from the game experience. For instance in Final Fantasy X, alot of the characters in the CGI look really Asian, which is completely different from the ingame character models.

Hey, since when do internet scripts make good game cutscenes? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

CGI isn't CG people.

Back on topic, I'd say avoid ingame cutscenes due to JK's sheer ugliness. As for a CG movie or graphic novel, it really depends on the style of the mod. Cell-shading can be difficult to pull of effectively, but again this is dictated by the style of your mod to begin with.

Forgot about those. Starcraft's were sweet. They looked great the scenes were just perfect.
