• Best cinematics in a game?

My bet on MGS4, I mean, there are 10 fucking hours of A+ quality cutscenes!
Halo Wars. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8lxRH9zqWw[/media]
The Thief games have the best cutscenes ever but I really can't pick a favourite.
As much as I know you guys hate it (For whatever reason), Fable 2. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTjT0Bty_zY[/media] The audio is awesome with surround sound.
Timesplitters: Future Perfect has some really funny and creative cutscenes. Company of Heroes has some actionfilled scenes too, and I love NIS(it's where you can make your own cutscenes) it's really great.
[QUOTE=Generic Monk;18814117]Yeah, but the Warcraft RTSes are much less of a hateful waste of time than WoW.[/QUOTE] That has jack shit to do with the quality of the cinematics.
I seem to remember Mafia having pretty cool cutscenes.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnQNXoJCZwc[/media] Hands down.
I really can't decide which is best, but pretty much anything Blizzard has made is amazing. StarCraft, WarCraft, Diablo and World of Warcraft all have some seriously high quality cinematics packed in there. And stop whining about WoW, this is about cinematics, not the game. I'm also getting StarCraft 2 just for the awesome cinematics they are sure to make. Blizzard does not disappoint. oh, and EVE Online is a honorable mention. Their trailers/cinematics are always beautiful.
Red Alert 1/2. [editline]12:08AM[/editline] Love the ending in Red Alert 1, when you find out that the soviets is actually infiltraded by the NOD, making the C&C and the RA universe one, and not two parallel ones.

[QUOTE=Akimotoz;18819609]That has jack shit to do with the quality of the cinematics.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but a lot of people hate anything to do with WoW rather than just hating the game.
Personally I think cinematics are stupid and they shouldn't hide the games graphical limitations behind them.
Uncharted 2 and MGS4.

I love the World In Conflict New York cinematic to be the best one I've seen. Looks awesome and it really captures your attention.
STALKER Left 4 Dead 1/2
I loved the MW2 cinematics, if you can call them that. They're epic. Preparing for "MW2 sux bawlz ur ghey :flashfap:"
Mini Ninjas' cinematics had some really fucking beautiful scenes. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92YhmxApLAU[/media]
[QUOTE=Tac Error;18811393]*World In conflict*[/QUOTE] Sad part is that Massive hasn't said a damn thing about a sequel, and the community is all moping that the first game is dying and that they won't make a second one.
[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;18824417]Personally I think cinematics are stupid and they shouldn't hide the games graphical limitations behind them.[/QUOTE] fable 2 tried to get rid of cinematics but it made the scenes shitty as hell
Any MGS game. Fucking art. I also quite enjoyed the somewhat cinematic experience CoD: WaW offered. The one moment I loved was all of Vendetta.
[QUOTE=1nfiniteseed;18826504]Sad part is that Massive hasn't said a damn thing about a sequel, and the community is all moping that the first game is dying and that they won't make a second one.[/QUOTE] Don't worry, they've got something planned, though the Activision Blizzard fiasco affected it quite a lot.
[QUOTE=Soldier32;18825823]I love the World In Conflict New York cinematic to be the best one I've seen. Looks awesome and it really captures your attention.[/QUOTE] Was the number one best cinematic ever to me. My jaw was dropping after I saw it, it was so amazingly done.
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway. Really movie-like.
Hl2 'cause the whole game is a cinematic.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;18825588]God forbid games tell the story with something more than what the engine is capable of![/QUOTE] At first: OH MY GAWD IS THAT WHAT THE GAME LOOKS LIKE IS THIS REAL TIME HOLY SHIT AWESOME And then: Oh wow, these graphics are shit and everything feels so stiff now.
World of Warcraft has some pretty sweet cinematic effects at the end of some quest chains, and in some dungeons.
