Some of the cutscenes in Max Payne 3 just do a great job at getting you utterly pumped, even if they're simple and short.
Particularly the one at the beginning of the airport terminal shootout.

In a more traditional sense, the opening drop of ODST is one of my favorites, definitely.

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;49960684]i loved the story of mafia but goddamn i did not find the gameplay fun whatsoever, especially the driving. the driving was possibly one of the most boring things i've done in a videogame to date. i'm not trying to be harsh, just serious; it was slow, clunky, and terribly unfun. While playing it I basically saw the cutscenes - which were all great - as rewards for trudging through gameplay that I found super dated and boring.[/QUOTE]
Funny, for me, driving is the #1 fun thing in missions. I love the physics and how not-crazy it is. I mean, I love GTA driving as much (especially 3), and my favorite racing game is Burnout, but I really appreciated Mafia driving for what it wanted to convey.

[QUOTE=Spor;49958061]I fantasized about it being in the 1910s and the gimmick is that cars would be completely manual. You will have to press all the pedals and levers correctly. Something like Receiver. And car control was really different in that age, so that would be fun, slow, and technical.[/QUOTE]
A feature like that would be removed in the first round of playtesting.
One of the greatest cutscene ever:

What makes you think that? DCS is pretty popular, it's depth is the reason people buy it.
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ogYjUEGDdM[/media]
And cars are a lot more simple. I don't see anything wrong with a driving-centered game where driving a car is not just pressing W, but coordinating all of the controls at the same time. It would provide a technical challenge to car chases and keep you occupied during normal A to B drives. It wouldn't be dropped during playtesting because they would not be playtesting for the broad casual demographic.
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0hQh_Ej_34[/media]
Not only games like DCS are viable economically because they have a big enough playerbase to buy their products, games even more complex than it can also be sustained, even if at a higher price of 80$

And this is just a driving shooting game where you have to press a few extra buttons.

Because the kind of people interested in Mafia games are not interested in car simulators and it would only hinder most players.
Reciever works because it's a gun simulator first and foremost, and a niche game at that.

I'm interested in mafia games and car simulators. But yeah, I get your point. I was only stating that if a game like that would be released, it would still find a lot of fans in the right circles.

[QUOTE=Synelor;49964491]mafia 1 has manual transmission and driving with a gamepad is pretty fun[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it was. That thought was sparked by a [url=http://beamng.com/resources/auriga-heron-1927.193/]BeamNG mod of a 1920s car[/url] that I had a lot of fun with.
[QUOTE]Controls
- Hold clutch to start in manual mode
- To shift up, hold clutch, change gear and wait until revs fall to match the next gear before releasing clutch
- Blip throttle to match revs when shifting down
- To help with shifting, you'll hear a sound effect and a dash light turns off when the next gear engages[/QUOTE]
Killzone 2 had a very fucking awesome introduction.
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGy6SEEXcJA[/media]
the intro to Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault after boot camp is probably one of my favorite scenes in a WW2 game.
the ingame scene starts at 2:20
[video=youtube;DktVKYTrSIM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DktVKYTrSIM[/video]
God of War for best cutscenes:
[video=youtube;aOqi1AZemtA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOqi1AZemtA[/video]
Mostly in engine too, climbing around titans was, and is, one of the most epic moments i've ever played.
Come on guys, let's get some real cutscenes in here:

Those cutscenes are pretty impressive for a game from 2000.
I love games that do TV show style recap cutscenes.

There's also this one level I loved replaying as a kid on the original Hitman: Codename 47, and it's because of this cutscene.
From 10:47 to 11:15
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qgMSrRHkRQ[/media]
Clipping issues aside, I always thought it was badass.
Also 5:45 to 5:55 is the the most emotive reaction 47 had in the entire series. :v:

Driver has always had some incredible cutscenes. Some of Driv3r's cutscenes are still some of my favourite out of any game. A good example:
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiaLGw9VPwM[/media]
The direction, camera angles, the animation, choice of music all fits perfectly.
The transition from 1978 to 2006 cutscene in Driver Parallel Lines was also pretty awesome:

I fucking loved MOH Airborne, it was genuinely a good game even if it got repetitive at times. Way better than their shite attempts to copy Call of Duty.
bit of an older one, but i loved this games cutscenes

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;49962308]Mafia II's simulation driving remains my favorite ever driving in any game.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it's in that sweet-spot between realism and arcade for me, the cars have weight and take a large degree of concentration to drive well, but not to the point that it becomes a frustrating chore. Nor is it easy to the point it becomes trivial
The intro for Onimusha 3 was fucking awesome

Black ops 1 had a brilliant story and i really thought this was a great scene when it came out, also really mind fucky too
This is why I absolutely loved the first Mafia game.
The entire campaign was designed so beautifully to make it feel like you were actually part of the mob. The set pieces were phenomenal, the story, the writing, the characters, the world, vehicles, atmosphere, cinematics, everything was so beautifully crafted to form a perfect Mafia experience. Even certain missions were designed with scripted events going on in the background to make the world feel more lively, and certain missions had alternative ending cutscenes based on how you finished the final act of the mission.
It's such a damn shame Mafia 2 felt so shallow compared to it's predecessor. It never felt like you did Mafia work. Sure, the gameplay was more refined than the first game but something about the original Mafia is so engaging that, to this day, I randomly boot it up just to replay it. I've must beat the game at least 6 or so times since 2002. And, back in the day, I'd start it up every day to play some of the best missions. A few that come to mind are the latter half of Better Get Used to It, The Whore, Omerta, Great Deal, Bon Apetite, Happy Birthday, and especially the Bank Heist and Finale.

A game I fondly remember enjoying is Marc Ecko's Getting Up. The CGI cutscenes in that were quite great. It also had great nighttime skyboxes and a sick soundtrack :v
