Your favorite video game cutscene ever?

Unknown
in Off-Topic Discussion
Just curious what everyone's favorite game cutscene is, and why.



Mine is from Starcraft, the boarding of the Amerigo. It's the scene where the marines enter the corridors of a zerg-compromised vessel with a nuclear device, and are attacked by a horde of zerg from the ceiling. It's just so damn creepy and frightening.

My second favorite is a scene from Killer7, in which one of the main characters (Garcian) plays a game of russian roullette with the vice president of the US. If Garcian wins, the Vice President tells him how to hit on women with 100% success, but if the Vice President wins Garcian must assassinate the president so the VP can become President. Now, I know you're asking 'but if one losses, he's dead, he can't possibly...' it doesn't matter in this game, because it's all crazy-like. I particularly enjoy the nonchalant way Garcian picks up the pistol and pulls the trigger on his own head, as if he doesn't care whether he dies or not. Here's the scene on youtube:

The third one is from Quake 4, when you watch through your character's eyes as he is Stroggified. It was actually kind of traumatizing to watch. The guy on the conveyer belt in front of you would have something horrific happen like the legs gettng sawed off, and you're thinking 'okay, my squad will rescue me any min.....my legs!' And it just kept happening with all the amputations and cybernetic installations.

    If there is one thing Final Fantasy 8 did right, its cutscenes.



    My favorites are these:

    Have always loved the Blizzard cutscenes. Specially the Warcraft 3 ones. The final sequence and the stuff from Frozen Throne. Loved the way they rendered the ice



    FF and similar asian stuff is always technically very sound. I can't get myself to like the art and the story, but nonetheless awesome technical qualities.



    I don't have one single scene that I love over the rest. The is a ton of damn fine work out there.

    The dance cutscene between Rinoa & Squall after Squall had just became a SeeD...



    If you're counting computer games, then def. when Arthas ascends the Frozen Throne or the WoW opening cinematic.

    Without a doubt, the boarding scene from starcraft.  A close second is the ending scene to Alien vs Predator, after you kill the queen as the predator...awesome.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    I just started playing Company of Heroes and I have to say, this game has the most cut scenes I've seen in a game in a LONG time.


    Fact: In the United States, 4% of all children are born with a heart defect.
    Fact: Only 1% of those has Ebstein's Anomaly.
    Fact: My daughter is in that 1%.

    I know it's been said but...  FFX's ending was great.  I also have to say FFVII's intro was cool as well..

    I liked the ones in GTA Vice City lol. Also some of the Resident Evil ones were amazing but I cant pick a #1 best.

    This one by FAR though it probably won´t seem that great if you haven´t played the game.



    SPOILERS if you haven´t finished Planescape: Torment

    Oh man, the opening scene for mechwarrior 2 was absolutely bad ass

    *giant mech walks through a valley and crushes a human skull beneath its feet*

    "i've got hip actuaters damaged, targetting systems damaged...I'm in bad shape"

    *computer voice* "Enemy detected"

    *mechwarrior pilot* "There's two of them!  One is on the rise"

    *bad ass mechwarrior* "Roger, I got em"

    *a big ass missile blows up a mech mid air*

     

    ooh...did you get chills??

    the ending credits movie in Summoner



    best thing ever.... (technecly not a cutscene but it uses the in game grapics)







    also I like the "moonstone cannon" attack cutscenes from Skys of arcdia, you just have to like taking away half the hit points of enemy air ship.
