My chosen cutscene

When we were asked to chose a cutscene to look into i had abit of a hard time since there were quite a few that caught my eye that i wanted to show, so instead of just showing my chosen one i thought i might show the runner ups for my choice and then go into explaining my 1st choice.

1. HALO WARS



Now the reason i chose halo wars and i particular chose this scene is due to the range of camera shots and how much action is in the scene. The cutscene was pre rendered and doesn't have the in game models due to the game being an real time strategy that doesn't allow the camera to zoom in close enough to view the characters guess thats what you get from an xbox 360 RTS. I love the use of the camera around the fight between the three spartans and the elites but even with the camera shots it is how clean and well done the characters animation are.

2. The Witcher 2

 

Though someone else used this cutscene when we showed our chosen cutscene but since i own the game i have a soft spot for this cutscene. Though CD Projekt Red is well known for there realistic visual and even though this is a pre rendered it does exactly what a opening cinematic should do.
The opening is my favourite when looking at the other scenes i choose but the reason i didn't use it is due to it being a pre rendered scene.

3. Lara Croft Tomb Raider Anniversary



Now while this doesn't show it this is called a quicktime event/cutscene which is an interactive cutscene. This game is a remake of the original tomb raider which as a person who played the original i found this scene well done since the layout of the cutscene is set the same as the original. i would recommend people to play the game just to see the cutscenes.

My Top Chosen Cutscene
SHOGUN 2



Now this is my chosen one to present and also a personal favourite of mine. With the intro until 50 seconds in it is the same but after 50 seconds it make the opening unique to which of the 8 clans you are. The voice used changes with each clan which gives the clan a unique feel rather than you feeling that they are all the same. With the combination of in game models with the maps and pictures it gives the feeling of history as well as you being apart of the history.  This is my favourite and since it is on computer only what you see in the opening is what you get for visuals.
