Do we need cutscene in this game
- Thread starter BIGPUNGED2000
- Start date
eeeeeh, meh, nah.
A thousand times no, I just came from a game where I was forced to watch the same cutscene hundreds of times* in order to progress. It was painful. The lack of cutscenes is one of many reasons why I love Half Life 2, for example. Cutscenes are only interesting the first time. After that, they're nails on a blackboard.
* Not an exaggeration- long cutscene, short boss battle, terrible loot table. Ick.

A nice intro video would be sweet... explaining the history of the game world via voice over...
Why is hell no not a choice ?
For an open game like this, anything that takes the control away from the player (such as cutscenes) is a big no no for me!

In one word: no!
its funny, because i thought about this while beta testing the mac version today... and the great thing about Elite is: YOU are in control of the things, regardless of what happens. A cutscene would take that control away. Sometimes when you dont expect it, sometimes to show your fate - with you being not convinced that that would have been your fate if they had let you play... And those ships that came to your rescue or that you just saved are your friends and fellow commanders. Everything you experience is true, with you right in the middle. Any cutscene besides an intro sequence would destroy that. That was my more than one word answer

Nothing dates a game worse than cutscenes They are awful.
They are awful.
The only thing I'd want even close to a cutscene is debug cam staying on when a jump happens, instead of resetting to pov during the witchspace. Make it reset back when i pop out infront of the star and i have control again.
