What are your favourite video game cutscenes?

[Cybermat47]

I would post mine, but YouTube is blocked on my network due to some idiot* watching too many YouTube videos and nearly destroying the network :nope:

That's ok, we can look up Halo cutscenes on youtube ourselves, I'm sure.


This is my favourite:

Fell off my chair on that one.


Intro movie for Janes USAF:

If only the rest of the sim lived up to it. :haha:

EDIT: And I'll add the obvious SH4 intro movie. It was, and is, the most artfully done simulation intro movie that I have ever seen.

One of my favourites is the opening to Empire Earth. Nothing can match it for epicness.

One of my least favourites is the opening one for Zoo Tycoon 2. JUST GET TO THE DINOSAURS ALREADY!

Are you OK Takeda!? I'd hate it if my perceived lack of gaming variety caused you any bodily harm!

Yeah, not many games introduce themselves with poetry, that's for sure.

If only SH5 had such an opening.

This is how the Silent Hunter franchise ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper.

Here's one of my favourites from Halo 2, because it lets you see things from the alien's point of view: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f3qvrb77y3A

And here's the opening to Empire Earth: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nz2_MukY2sE

The opening to Dead Island was....interesting...

I like the opening from tons of games though.

[Arclight]

I can't help but let the intro for Shogun 2 play out whenever I start it. Never get tired of it.

Cheesey but good for a game:salute:

[Stealhead]

I also like the intro of Shogun TW the intros and ending scenes for the Fallout series are fairly good as well.I did not like the intro to New Vegas as much though.

[Red October1984]

I like the IL-2 opening scenes and I always did like the opening to MechWarrior 4 Vengeance.

:hmmm:

[ajrimmer42]

World in Conflict is the game that sticks out for me, I'll never forget the first time I saw the New York cutscene. Sometimes music can just get in the way but WiC is one game where the music just makes it... as much as I hate using the word, epic.

New York Cutscene. I'm now a big fan of Audioslave lol

The Cascade Falls Cutscene. Never have I gone from hating a character to having so much respect for them.

And not a bad ending, if just for the music :D
