I think it'd be cool to see the 10 BEST Cutscenes in Video Games, the ones that really go above and beyond with the storytelling and graphical fidelity ya know.
Yeah ones like Mass effect 3 - attack on Earth TLOU - Henry sam Joel and Ellie in the cabin Bioshock infinity - welcome to rapture God of war - blades of chaos Rdr2 - I’m afraid
@@trxsh_oc yeah it’s a great ending, but talking about cutscenes the cinematic and dramatic scene in the cabin cutting to fall will always be one of the shocking video game moments I’ve ever seen
Maybe it's just because I've spent time in *very* rural parts of the United States, but the Medal of Honor cutscenes just didn't look weird to me. Actually looked pretty good. I've seen weirder looking people and much weirder looking children.
@@thebrutalistboi1846 if he wanted to criticize them, he could have mentioned the terrible writing and voice acting.... but no, gotta go after the least offensive thing
it's actually really amazing animation for 1991 pixel animation. Like, it's wild considering how absolutely dogshit pen tablets were back then. It's a legit flex.
The worst cutscene imo is the one where I accidentally walked in on two trolls… erm… “messing” around, to put it lightly in Baldur’s Gate 3. That was traumatizing
The worst for me was when I played Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and Snapes mouth glitched in a cutscene where his jaw dropped to his chest and his entire mouth was just this black pit. Scared the hell out of me
"MOH Warfighter" is a good game with fairly realistic graphics & animations for it's time. I agee with all the others mentioned being poor but not "Warfighter".
It's interesting how most of these are horror games, shows how developers have to be careful to keep the tension in a horror setting otherwise they just end up looking just uncanny and weird
It looks as though the devs were basing the character of Dr Reed in Remothered: Tormented Fathers on Jodie Foster's portrayal of Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs.
Can't forget 90% of the cutscenes in Mass Effect Andromeda... What actually happened in the cutscenes weren't that bad, but for some reason, a lot of the scenes with characters talking to eachother made the characters look like they had ben dipped in wax, their eyes either fixed to a spot somewhere behind you or just randomly darting all over the place, and often with closeups so close that i was scared that my glasses would fog over from their breath when they talked...
Indeed, though I was fortunate enough not get the game myself, I have friends who did. By what I saw, (when I wasn’t busting out laughing at the horrendous glitches) was that it was pure nightmare fuel… BioWare really screwed up there I’m afraid!
Who told these people that it's normal in voice acting a scene for people to cut off the end of every sentence said by the other person? People talk over others to a degree but not like that. Also, the cutscene moment that still give me nightmares... "I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with LIIIIIGHT!!!!!"
I wouldn't call that a "bad cutscene" per se, more "they should've given the poor bastard another take where his voice didn't crack mid-line", because that's where most of the cringe is for me.
@@denebkaitos7511 he also shouldn't have tried to yell a damn novel in one breath. That's a situation where most characters might've gone with a nice, scenery chewing "nooooooo" not a full, comprehensible sentence.
For me the worst scene in modern gaming is when Abby seems to take it full from her behind on on that boat in TLOU 2. It was disturbing to say the least
The Remothered dialogue actually seems pretty natural to me. I like how he's constantly cutting her off. He's hurriedly making excuses. I know it's not normally how cutscenes play, but it's how people talk in real life. I find it really cringe when the opposite happens in games - long pauses where there shouldn't be, or even pauses when it's clear the dialogue was written as if the character should be getting cut off.
Two things I genuinely hate in video games…#1, Static cutscenes (which are essentially the ear marks of a tight budget, or a lazy team). #2, Game where details go into the playable character but not into the environment or NPCs. That’s usually when one finds themselves trying to justify the drivel they’re pushing through because they paid for it.
@@peacekillerzTo be fair, (in some cases) story, or gameplay can supersede dialogue…like Clyde in GTA III which might explain the Zelda appeal, but it’s not an excuse for poor delivery.
Darkseed 1 was one of the best horror games at the time, the oppressive, unhealthy atmosphere, full of anxiety and horror, all bathed in the art of Giger was impressive. I loved and love that game. It's almost never mentioned much unfortunately.
That game was fantastic but it was so haaard. And I'm fine with hard point and clicks. I beat Darkfall without a guide (It's really good but you're gonna need an entire notebook to take since there's no in game journal, some of the puzzles are fairly difficult, and final puzzle has a LOT of red herrings. Don't be afraid to sketch in addition to take notes.) Darkseed's time limit though was so punishing. The timing was so tight in parts. At least it wasn't too bad to restart and try again.
An honorable mention: The cutscenes in the original Mirror's Edge game could have easily been mistaken for those horrible Esurance commercials from around the same time.
Darkseed 2 is hilarious because poor Mike Dawson (the REAL Mike Dawson who programmed and acted in the original Darkseed) lost the copyright to HIMSELF. The Mike Dawson in Darkseed 2 is neither played by nor voiced by the original guy. That's gotta be surreal for Mike, who now actually teaches computer game making.
I feel like you were being way too harsh on that Medal of Honor: Warfighter cutscene. The daughter's face looked a bit strange, but I thought everyone else looked amazing? The animations were excellent, and the detail was great... ? I'm really confused by that entry.
I genuinely thought (the little girl aside) that the Medal Of Honor one looked really good considering it's a decade old game now. I've played games this year on the PS5 that don't look that good. Really strange one to add I have to say. Surely there's worse than that in the history of gaming?
I'd love to see a "Top 10 Sound Design in Games" gameranx video. Sound design is such an important part of games that gets overlooked sometimes. Two that I can think of with fantastic sound design are Elite Dangerous and theHunter Call of the Wild, but there's so many more.
truth. need some more video on the audio side of games. Action games don't feel good if the guns and punches sound like cheap fireworks and limp slapping. Good sound design can make or break a horror game. The OG Dead Space wouldn't be the horror icon that it is without the sound design creating that iconic atmosphere. The OG game didn't have the beautifully ray-traced lighting and volumetrics the remake has and, lets be honest, some of the OG's game-play was really clunky; the sound design is what carried the player's attention all the way to that twist ending. Final Fantasy is known for their beautifully orchestrated soundtracks.
In the Stray Souls one, the wife is cooking what looks like half a human torso (arm and all) and the child is already covered in blood. No wonder the husband blew them all away. Just adds to the unintentional hilarity though.
One cutscene that always bothered me was the cutscene at the end of the first mission in Halo 4. I remember I was so excited to play the game, was excited to blow up another covenant ship and then when you do it breaks into like 3 pieces and is completely hollow inside - just kind of disappointing, especially the first time I played it.
I had no idea those Zelda the faces of evil cut scenes were real. I thought that was some fan made stuff that became popular on early TH-cam as a meme. that is hilarious.
Blood is a great pick for #1. Monoloth didn’t have a lot of money to do CGI and voice acting. The head of the studio actually did the big bad’s voice. However, they made one of the best shooters of all time, with one of the best protagonists of all time and they got Stephen Waite to do the voice. Blood is phenomenal. But the cutscenes are impressively bad. Even in the Fresh Supply remaster there was nothing Nightdive could do fix those train wrecks. Seriously, if anybody hasn’t seen it, I recommend Civvie-11’s Pro Blood series. It’s great.
Hey, RE:Dead Aim's main cutscenes were super detailed back then....The inengine cutscenes, 😂. Also, the mismatched subtitles & sound mixing's glorious in that wonderfully bonkers game. ❤ it forever!
I love how whenever somebody brings up the Zelda CD-i games, they always forget that there were THREE of them. Sure, everyone remembers Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon, but nobody talks about the FMV disaster that is Zelda's Adventure. It's not really relevant to this list, just had to mention it after Falcon clarified that there were "2 in total" on the CD-i.
Remothered tormented father visuals are actually good, cutscenes wise too. I honestly don't know if the graphics, pace, movement and dialogues are bad but served some consistent thematics, or it was done on purpose. But the end results is serving the horror and creepy story very well 😂
Good god. After actually finishing the video, I’m even more flabbergasted at your choice of number 9! Seriously, you’d have to either be delusional or have a vendetta against EA or Medal of Honor to include it on this list along with all the other insane shit that actually deserves to be here.
Looking back on it I don’t really know how I though it, but I remember mistaking medal of honours cutscenes for real life, having to question myself. Definitely looks dated now but for the time it was insanely impressive.
Bro, the worst cutscenes are the ones where the game is unpaused and you get shot in the back then the enemy randomly combusts into funny ragdoll, which kills you when you leave and you are playing on a permadeath or forgot to save
I used to think cutscenes on games is the rewards you get playing the game. Specially with RPGs after a tedious grinding, then overcoming a crazy boss fight, watching the story unfolds with the use of CGI made me fell inlove playing RPGs since the psX era, like a book that comes to life.
I totally disagree with the walking dead placement. The "it's still new, it's still fresh" I don't understand this at all. If quality is a key detail and the models still look weird and derpy, it has to be said that at least with the other ones, as terrible as they are, there was still some attempt, not great effort, but there was an ATTEMPT at animation. That *SHOULD* put it below nearly everything else. I'm sorry, walking dead destinies is not number 10 and if you disagree then you're just wrong.
Wait, Blood had cutscenes? That was one of my favorite games, I still quote it all the time (especially the cultist weird language shout out lines), but I don't remember it ever having cutscenes...
"Speaking of insane indie horror games made by creators with more ideas than sense..." has gotta be the greatest Falcon takedown in the history of the bird.
I'm pretty sure Walking Dead Desitinies 3D models are made in a free tool that "a certain video game genre" uses in visual novels that they put on Steam these days. I forgot the name of that tool, but these models and their poses are way too unique looking to miss. I believe animating them aren't that big of a deal, so that's %100 cut costs. I can't believe very qualified people at Skybound looked at this and said it's alright to publish.
Eh, the guys didn't look as bad as they made them out to be, but the wife definitely had some weirdness to her and the daughter was uncanny as all hell.
I'm one who doesn't hate on MoH Warfighter like others. I think it's underrated for what it is. But, I do think they nailed how awful those character models are in the cutscenes.
I love cutscenes in games especially when your customize character appears within the cutscenes with all your edits, makes you feel that the games story respects you. 😉
In Red Dead: Redemption 2, I like that your custom outfit changes depending on the cutscene, for example: In the mission “Blessed Are The Peacemakers.” If you go in with a coat, and after escaping captivity and being nurse back to health, your custom Arthur will apear without his coat. I like that detail.
Falcon, regarding the Blood cutscenes... look up the last one where you beat the end boss. That is always worth a laugh from how silly the scene is, if nothing else.
One of my all-time favorite game videos was Game Informer's look at Ride to Hell. Dan Ryckert said at the start "I wanted as many people in here as possible because I just played the first hour and you all need to see this." Didn't take long to see what he was so excited about. God, what a train wreck that game was.
I think the most baffling thing about The Walking Dead cutscenes is that if they couldn't animate it, couldn't they have paid more to just use the scenes directly from the show??? I'd rather see that than static nothings cutscenes.
This video is exactly what this channel does often , we don't have any video idea what should we do ? Let's pick 10 random games and rank them for bad cutscenes.... There is nothing wrong with those games cutscenes maybe 1 or 2 are not that great that's it...every game did what it could in the time it was made.
I like Jake a lot. The team as a whole does a great job. Falcon just makes me laugh like no tomorrow. Jake is incredibly informative & a smooth talker.
Hey i love CDI zelda and link! I own the physical copies since they released when i was a kid, my dad gifted me the CDI and those games for birthday since his best friend was a philips employee back then, those games have always been precious to me but now that my dad has passed away so they became even more legendary!
"DO NOT TOUCH MY DRAWERS!" and then he jumped out a window 😅😅 everything I hear about that game makes it sound like solid chaos made by a group of monkeys on the widest possible variety of drugs.
I think the cutscenes in MoH Warfighter aren't that bad for a 2012 game. It wasn't the best at its time, but nowhere to be included in Top10 the WORST cutcenes. I've seen many worse for 2023 games.
1:04 if you do a second video, Redfall deserves consideration. Their cutscenes are basically what The Walking Dead did and this was from a supposed AAA studio (despite losing 80% of the workforce that had made them great to begin with).
Remothered was inspired by Clock Tower and was originally going to be a Clock Tower game, but I think due to legal reasons everything was restarted into what we have today. Chris Darril is a guy to look into and they have a new game coming soon. The story is bonkers once you make it to the end as you unravel the truth ( especially when you find out about the Old Man and what happened to them when they were younger )
I hate he dropped the Remothered series, but he was disappointed by the second game because of all the rewrites and other additions that he didn't approve of. Really disappointed me.
Why? They're genetic abominations in possession of a skull that resembles an angler fish, which causes them tremendous health problems. Their existence is just cruel.
Can't wait to get my hands on this! The idea of an old game they HAVEN'T screwed with in the name of "improving" it for modern players makes me giddy. The Resident Evil remakes are pure nostalgia killers.
"Oh no! I'm being chased my a naked man covered in poop wielding a shotgun!" "Nice! A dead body! I am a feeling a little hungry, I guess a quick little nibble wouldn't hurt. Surely, poop man with a shotgun must have forgotten me by now."
Dude… that Walking Dead game is… wow. I don’t even understand how something like that even gets made! Why does it exist?! How?! Could they not get likeness rights?! Why does Rick look like a creepy mashup of Rick and Shane or something… it’s soooo bad!

Honestly the medal of honor cutsenes look great compared to some of the recent cutsenes in games..
I still can’t believe King Kong had a jpg in the middle of already terrible cutscenes
He put that on the video as bait to get people to comment
i read that at jrpg and was very confused
Yeah I didn't find them so bad, really surprised to see it in this list, there are far far far worse ones that could have easily taken its place.
Yeah I didn't really find it all that bad
I dont see the issue with the medal of honor cut scene. The CGI was great, especially for the time and in a video game.
Exactly what I was going to comment. I thought the facial animations were really good. Even compared to some games now.
Yeah me niether, sure the kid looked pretty spooky but damn they were way better than Mass Effect.
100%
I usually agree with the bird, but I think he was way off base here.
Falcon tripping this time. Even now it looks great!
For me they were squarely in the uncanny valley. I get where he's coming from.
Man, every time I think game journalism sounds fun, a game like The Walking Dead Destinies comes out. Thank you for your service. 🙏
I think it'd be cool to see the 10 BEST Cutscenes in Video Games, the ones that really go above and beyond with the storytelling and graphical fidelity ya know.
Yeah ones like
Mass effect 3 - attack on Earth
TLOU - Henry sam Joel and Ellie in the cabin
Bioshock infinity - welcome to rapture
God of war - blades of chaos
Rdr2 - I’m afraid
That one scene from God Of War 3 where Kratos rages out on Zeus for killing Pandora… definitely add that to the list
But I can't rage click that. I only like hate watching things.
@@lurpakspreadable4994 id even say tlou ending where she says "okay" to joel lying about what happened at the hospital.
@@trxsh_oc yeah it’s a great ending, but talking about cutscenes the cinematic and dramatic scene in the cabin cutting to fall will always be one of the shocking video game moments I’ve ever seen
Medal of Honor Warfighter honestly looks really good. Especially for a PS3 era game.
I thought the same. That is what a normal military family looks like.
MoH shouldn't have been anywhere near this list. Sooo many more worse games out there.
Its ps3?? the hell is falcon on about. Looks great
@@KombatKochPartDeuxnah that little girls face is freaky looking, but I do agree that the cutscene as a whole is honestly great
I like how gameranx really solidified the hate of these cutscenes with a warning in the description😂😂
Maybe it's just because I've spent time in *very* rural parts of the United States, but the Medal of Honor cutscenes just didn't look weird to me.
Actually looked pretty good. I've seen weirder looking people and much weirder looking children.
Weirdest looking people live in city. This dude has never been to Portland
Yeah, i agree. The daughter definitely looked pretty weird, but just about everyone else looked fine.
@@thebrutalistboi1846 if he wanted to criticize them, he could have mentioned the terrible writing and voice acting.... but no, gotta go after the least offensive thing
I kinda like that Zelda cutscene animation. It's "80s cartoon-esque" with a hint of "someone spiked my LSD with more LSD"
I was thinking lie if the style of "Yellow Submarine" at it's most deranged.
it's actually really amazing animation for 1991 pixel animation. Like, it's wild considering how absolutely dogshit pen tablets were back then. It's a legit flex.
@@imrpovking845 Yeh you're right there is definite intent with some of the strange decisions made
They did the animation for most of the Terry Pratchett books adaptations. Works well with those.
They looked terrific when it came out, like stuff from the future
I expected something worse, but I guess I've got a strong resistance against cringe.
Some of these are not even that bad.
watch the video he references in the intro. its better which by better i mean it shows worse
Are you f****** serious?
1:40 don't forget The Forgotten game that also has still images Like name AMY
The worst cutscene imo is the one where I accidentally walked in on two trolls… erm… “messing” around, to put it lightly in Baldur’s Gate 3. That was traumatizing
😅
Damn that's hot
The worst for me was when I played Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and Snapes mouth glitched in a cutscene where his jaw dropped to his chest and his entire mouth was just this black pit. Scared the hell out of me
Or that shit with the bear 😭😭
I thought it was downright hilarious
"MOH Warfighter" is a good game with fairly realistic graphics & animations for it's time. I agee with all the others mentioned being poor but not "Warfighter".
good game? i agree with that the cutscenes don't look nearly as bad as this video claims.... but the game itself is total garbage
The crazy part is that Medal of Honor cut scene is miles ahead of anything from Starfield
What I learned today is in bad games scary ends up goofy and whimsical ends up terrifying.
It's interesting how most of these are horror games, shows how developers have to be careful to keep the tension in a horror setting otherwise they just end up looking just uncanny and weird
Of course, there is such horror that is derived from intentionally being uncanny and weird.
They’re also more of a niche genre. Resident Evil aside, they tend to be made by small development teams.
The characters in Walking Dead: Destinies look like they were designed by someone who only watched the show through a stained glass window 😂
It looks as though the devs were basing the character of Dr Reed in Remothered: Tormented Fathers on Jodie Foster's portrayal of Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs.
Reed even looks like Jodie. It was the first thing I noticed about her.
Can't forget 90% of the cutscenes in Mass Effect Andromeda...

ME A is actually really good. Another youtube pile on from a bunch of a clowns who never played it.
Medal of Honor Warfighter was ahead of his time.
Medal of Honor Warfighter was 2012 wasn't it? I feel like compared to other things at the time it wasn't the worst thing out there.....
Compared to certain current games it looks great
Omfg they had NO budget for those Walking Dead cutscenes

Yeah, especially where the beginning of the game has animated cutscenes, but the end of the game is static-filled. Poor poor time/budget management.
Bruh how can you not hate repetitive ass dialogue😂😂🤦🏻♂️thas the absolute worst
#3 bland voice acting like it's come from ChatGpT, or they've dragged a member of staff to do Npc voice sampling

It was even supposed to be a spiritual successor to it

I've played games this year on the PS5 that don't look that good. Really strange one to add I have to say. Surely there's worse than that in the history of gaming?
yeah that was odd addition
Those Walking Dead Destinies cutscenes are straight out of a Midway game in 2003.
The worst cut scene is when the video ends and we don't get to play the game anymore :(
What happens when you finish a game? The game just uninstalls itself?
What?😂
Whomp whomp
@believeinmatter some classic console games arelike that. A crap ton of games exist
Ps. Don't be small minded guys
Depends on the Game...some, you are very thankfully they are over and you no longer have to play it.
Those mouths moving in Ride to Hell are very similar to the first Half-Life almost 20 years ago. 😂
And halo ce
What's sad is the first medal of honor reboot game was amazing
Those Zelda cutscenes look like if MeatCanyon used MS Paint

Half-Life would be pretty high up. So many memorable sounds and little quirks that make the world feel very unique.
Elite dangerous should geta mention there
Inscryption is one example of phenomenal sound design
I like to imagine that I’m in a video game college class, and Falcon is my professor going on a rant about anything and everything
In the Stray Souls one, the wife is cooking what looks like half a human torso (arm and all) and the child is already covered in blood. No wonder the husband blew them all away. Just adds to the unintentional hilarity though.
Im genuinely blown away you put blood so high. Those cutscenes are ICONIC
I liked remothered. Being chased relentlessly was way to tense

the keys being destroyed in the fall had me rolling lol
Bro, the worst cutscenes are the ones where the game is unpaused and you get shot in the back then the enemy randomly combusts into funny ragdoll, which kills you when you leave and you are playing on a permadeath or forgot to save
Any examples on this?
Suggestion: Can you make the number scenes dark mode? Idk about other ppl but I watch your videos at night, and they are like a flashbang in cs.
Medal of Honor looked better than starfield
How dare you mention the Zelda Phillips CD-I games and not show Zelda and the king laughing. Absolute BLASPHEMY 😂
Oh dang, Blood came out 2 days before I was born. I'm so glad aged better than that game.
Blood has aged fantastically and is still one of the greatest fps games of all time. The cutscenes are just silly.
Halo reach: cutscene you cant skip when you launch into space, takes forever and on legendary you sit through it countless times🎉
I used to think cutscenes on games is the rewards you get playing the game. Specially with RPGs after a tedious grinding, then overcoming a crazy boss fight, watching the story unfolds with the use of CGI made me fell inlove playing RPGs since the psX era, like a book that comes to life.
I used to think that too when playing Spyro
I mean if you think about it, it kinda is.
I totally disagree with the walking dead placement. The "it's still new, it's still fresh" I don't understand this at all. If quality is a key detail and the models still look weird and derpy, it has to be said that at least with the other ones, as terrible as they are, there was still some attempt, not great effort, but there was an ATTEMPT at animation. That *SHOULD* put it below nearly everything else. I'm sorry, walking dead destinies is not number 10 and if you disagree then you're just wrong.
Wait, Blood had cutscenes? That was one of my favorite games, I still quote it all the time (especially the cultist weird language shout out lines), but I don't remember it ever having cutscenes...
"Speaking of insane indie horror games made by creators with more ideas than sense..." has gotta be the greatest Falcon takedown in the history of the bird.
didn’t think medal of honor looked that bad… then the wife walked in
falcon is the last of his species because i ate the other birds
I'm pretty sure Walking Dead Desitinies 3D models are made in a free tool that "a certain video game genre" uses in visual novels that they put on Steam these days.
I forgot the name of that tool, but these models and their poses are way too unique looking to miss. I believe animating them aren't that big of a deal, so that's %100 cut costs.
I can't believe very qualified people at Skybound looked at this and said it's alright to publish.
That Medal of Honor cutscene looked good to me
Eh, the guys didn't look as bad as they made them out to be, but the wife definitely had some weirdness to her and the daughter was uncanny as all hell.
I'm one who doesn't hate on MoH Warfighter like others. I think it's underrated for what it is. But, I do think they nailed how awful those character models are in the cutscenes.
3:35 "With Preacher's ghoulish looking wife, and hideous child, triggering all the wrong emotions in what are meant to warm family moments."
I love cutscenes in games especially when your customize character appears within the cutscenes with all your edits, makes you feel that the games story respects you. 😉
In Red Dead: Redemption 2, I like that your custom outfit changes depending on the cutscene, for example: In the mission “Blessed Are The Peacemakers.” If you go in with a coat, and after escaping captivity and being nurse back to health, your custom Arthur will apear without his coat. I like that detail.
Falcon, regarding the Blood cutscenes... look up the last one where you beat the end boss. That is always worth a laugh from how silly the scene is, if nothing else.
Hello gameranx i wanted to say that the videos you guys make are the best
Hello
While the cutscenes of RE Dead Aim are quite clumsy indeed, listing them amongst the WORST feels like a bit of overstatement.
One of my all-time favorite game videos was Game Informer's look at Ride to Hell. Dan Ryckert said at the start "I wanted as many people in here as possible because I just played the first hour and you all need to see this." Didn't take long to see what he was so excited about. God, what a train wreck that game was.
Companies shouldnt fear sales dropping, they should fear Falcon roasting the hell out of them. 😂😭
"I respect the deranged energy in a weird way" absolutely sent me lol
I think the most baffling thing about The Walking Dead cutscenes is that if they couldn't animate it, couldn't they have paid more to just use the scenes directly from the show??? I'd rather see that than static nothings cutscenes.
the ones you cant skip
This video is exactly what this channel does often , we don't have any video idea what should we do ? Let's pick 10 random games and rank them for bad cutscenes....
There is nothing wrong with those games cutscenes maybe 1 or 2 are not that great that's it...every game did what it could in the time it was made.
Falcon, you are one of the best commentators I have ever heard. Keep it up. Sir. You're hilarious.🎉
facts! imo, better than Jake
Should consider replacing Jake altogether. He's an ok guy, but his voice is like an ice pick to the brain in comparison.
I like Jake a lot. The team as a whole does a great job. Falcon just makes me laugh like no tomorrow. Jake is incredibly informative & a smooth talker.
After how you started, I figured Redfall would HAVE to be on here for their (lack of) cutscenes.
Resident Evil 1 cut scene was actually awesome.
It made the game feel somehow more real and Jill Valentine actress was my crush back then. Loved her!
TBH, that dead aim cutscenes was relatively impressive. I can appreciate the effort.
When Falcon says "Everytime I boot up the game"... yeah sure you do bud
Hey i love CDI zelda and link! I own the physical copies since they released when i was a kid, my dad gifted me the CDI and those games for birthday since his best friend was a philips employee back then, those games have always been precious to me but now that my dad has passed away so they became even more legendary!
17:41 I LOVE Falcon’s endless tangents that come out of nowhere, and this was probably my favourite so far! 🤣 “It goes in here, and it STAYS in here!”
"DO NOT TOUCH MY DRAWERS!" and then he jumped out a window 😅😅 everything I hear about that game makes it sound like solid chaos made by a group of monkeys on the widest possible variety of drugs.
Amazing video gameranx of the worst cut scene in video games,fantastic job.
Press 'F' to... 😅
It's "can't be overstated" not understated.
It really can't be overstated how many TH-camrs make this mistake!
I think the cutscenes in MoH Warfighter aren't that bad for a 2012 game. It wasn't the best at its time, but nowhere to be included in Top10 the WORST cutcenes. I've seen many worse for 2023 games.
I dont know what you or him are talking about. It looks great, even now (specifically the two guys in the hospital scene)
I agree ..it looks really well made cgi for cutscene
1:04 if you do a second video, Redfall deserves consideration. Their cutscenes are basically what The Walking Dead did and this was from a supposed AAA studio (despite losing 80% of the workforce that had made them great to begin with).
Remothered was inspired by Clock Tower and was originally going to be a Clock Tower game, but I think due to legal reasons everything was restarted into what we have today. Chris Darril is a guy to look into and they have a new game coming soon. The story is bonkers once you make it to the end as you unravel the truth ( especially when you find out about the Old Man and what happened to them when they were younger )
I hate he dropped the Remothered series, but he was disappointed by the second game because of all the rewrites and other additions that he didn't approve of. Really disappointed me.
My boy thought "Remothered" wasn't a clear homage to Clock Tower, but Silent Hill. How embarrassing
8:25 Any cutscene containing an adorable pug being petted is automatically excused!
Why? They're genetic abominations in possession of a skull that resembles an angler fish, which causes them tremendous health problems.
Their existence is just cruel.
When mentioning resident evil I honestly was expecting you to show the “jill sandwich” cutscene 😂
Tormented Fathers at least had some solid ideas. But looking at Broken Porcelain, it gets even more ridiculous, although they doubled their budget
Can't wait to get my hands on this! The idea of an old game they HAVEN'T screwed with in the name of "improving" it for modern players makes me giddy. The Resident Evil remakes are pure nostalgia killers.
100% agree on the weird cutscenes in Remothered Tormented Fathers, however the game did give me the spookies 👻
The cutscenes are the vibe of the game. I’ve played a hundred horror games and this was so fresh compared to others
@@Luis-rp2lmwrong. It was bad
@@tartatovsky nah it was good. Such an amazing vibe, and the plot twists were crazy
@@Luis-rp2lm Exactly.
"Oh no! I'm being chased my a naked man covered in poop wielding a shotgun!"
"Nice! A dead body! I am a feeling a little hungry, I guess a quick little nibble wouldn't hurt. Surely, poop man with a shotgun must have forgotten me by now."
Dude… that Walking Dead game is… wow.
I don’t even understand how something like that even gets made! Why does it exist?! How?!
Could they not get likeness rights?! Why does Rick look like a creepy mashup of Rick and Shane or something… it’s soooo bad!
Shane with hair and a beard and Ricks jacket is just cursed.
But he looks like the type of guy who wants to tell us sumthin.
Just a reminder that there was a third Zelda CDI, but the cutscenes from it were very different.
