Favourite Video Game Cutscene

[Kitsune Hunter]

My favourite thing about Video Games is of course, cutscenes as they help advance the plot and look amazing at the same time, but what is your favourite? My would have to be the sword fight from Professor Layton and Pandora's Box, alot of emotion, great music and of course, only gentlemen fight with swords


So what's your favourite?

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

People have forgotten the awesome power of the Jinjonator.

He beats ugly green women to death with his face.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

I'mma put something from Devil May Cr-

Inb4 Daystar and DMC


What a handshake...

The best bromance of all time...

[HEADING=1]Bastard![/HEADING]

*cough*

Anyway.



After the first cutscene, cut to 2.57 for the rest.

That tension, that music.

Awesome.

 

[Rooster893]

The opening scene to Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is simply put, awesome.

[Terminate421]

I could watch this for hours:


This is probably the most heavy to watch IMO:


More comedy!

 

[ultrabiome]

one i will remember is at the end of 'Castlevania: Lament of Innocence' for PS2. the one right before the final boss fight against Death where Mathias reveals that he wants to become a vampire as vengeance against God for taking his wife. it may be a little wooden and even cliche, but Konami did a good job with the big reveal as to 'who' Dracula is in the series and why the Belmonts fight him.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

The good ending of inFamous 2. I won't post it for spoiler issues, but I can watch it over and over even though it's sadder than shit.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

Probably something from one of the Metal Gear Solid games, cor be arsed to scan brain for favouritisms tonight.

 

[Swyftstar]

Damn, I don't have them to link but the cutscenes in Armed and Dangerous were genuinely funny.

 

[Dragoon]

I shall offer up these awesome scenes of badassery

Spoiler

I really like MGS4

 

[lRookiel]

"Oh look, Rookie has arrived, here comes some Baldurs gate"

Why of course my good man/woman, Baldurs gate!


Sarevok is so badass....

 

[TehCookie]

I'm absolutely crazy about it!
I never get tired of watching these.

 

[ReadyAmyFire]

I remember how much this made me tingle as a 10 year old, still love it:


I think my father buying most of my games had a lot to do with how I turned out.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Persona 3 gets nominated!


As does Persona 4.

Dose awakenings...

 

[dimensional]

I dont think I have any favourite cutscenes as such but if opening scenes count these two are the ones that have always stayed with me and I still enjoy today.

Spoiler: FFVII opening

This completely blew me away on release I love how it builds up pans around and then puts you straight in the action.

and this

Spoiler: soul blade opening

Which is still the most epic opening presentation FMV to any game ever sure it lacks finesse but it really gets you pumped for the game a shame the Soul Calibur games were never able to replicate such an awesome opening. Great song as well.

 

[The Wykydtron]

If this counts as a proper cutscene then this is my pick


So fucking funny... Summoner Throw OP.

As for actual cutscenes, the one confrontation with the killer is completely epic in Persona 4.

 

[TallanKhan]

For me it has to be Dragon Age: Origins, the opening cutscene for the battle at Ostagar.

 

[Reaper195]

Metal Gear Solid 4, the final showdown between Snake and Liquid/Ocelot.


Yeah, it's got some gameplay in it, but this entire scene, man...I fucking love it. This is why Hideo Kojima should make movies as well. Entirely in the MGS4 engine...which four years later, still looks gorgeous.

 

[FalloutJack]

Okay, more like TM: Black end-video...


...and cutscene + battle for .hack//QUARANTINE...


...And finally Bruce Campbell.
