Game Cinematics

Are they getting old or are they good for the games?

I love game Cinematics..

Cinematics are awesome, they allow you to take a break from the gameplay and let you in on the story. I think they should stick with games forever.

[QUOTE="The_Last_Ride"][QUOTE="naju890_963"]They are two very different things, you can't really compare them much.naju890_963

Not always. o_o That's like saying a book and a movie are the same because they tell stories. Cinematics in games aren't always used to tell a story.RoseFlambe169

My parrot tells stories, does that mean he's a movie?nintendo_warrio

Okay then...

Okay, for instance a cinematic of a car crashing or going through the finish line in a racing game. Unless you're saying that tells the story of the car crashing or finishing, it doesn't tell any sort of story. It probably just looks cool. Another example is the Mortal Kombat Fatalities. If you consider those cinematics, those don't tell much of a story either aside from exactly how the player died. There's no connection to or progression in any story though.RoseFlambe169

I wish to only discuss them.stephenage

Why don't we make a question of the week thread, that way each week you could ask one of these questions, instead of having individual threads for every single one of them that become obsolete very soon.nintendo_warrio

Or just a game discussion topic, like the Naughty Dog Collective has.

At least he's making topics!:P

Just try to respect each other.

Respect is a luxury. Overcrowding the board with topics is not.

So do you want me to make topics? If so I will more than happily spam the board with pointless crap. 

Just like Facebook! :D

I think there are too many game cinematic's in games like Uncharted, but I don't want anymore movie cinematic's just to cover a small topic. I think it should merge with the gameplay.
