As the title reads. What do you think is the coolest cutscene in any Video Game you have ever seen?

My vote:

Physics? We don't need no stinkin physics

Kinda anti-climactic that he ends up being swallowed by a giant fish though...

I'm not trying to troll here but that has to be one of the cheesiest cutscenes I've ever seen.

To each his own I guess...

I have a Few, all from blizzard! sorry but the warcraft cutscene's are one of the best.



And... favourite of ALL time:

Murray, don't appologize. Blizzard has some of the best in the biz.

Oh god there's so many. I'll probably post more soon but the music in this one and the sense of foreboding it creates is amazing.

Halo Wars had some good ones. It's the only reason I played the game.

Almost anything from Final Fantasy....just because they look stunning.

He ends up tearing the fish up from the inside, though. And no, we don't need no stinking Physics.

Thats why it's awesome! Devil May Cry has always been about over the top action with a sarcastic hero (we won't talk about DMC 2).

I'd have to say this one is way up there. When I fist saw this video as a preview at EB Games, I thought it was a live action trailer




CoH is a given



And who could forget the DA:O CGI trailer?

Are credits cutscenes?

Technically, I suppose, though...

....Trailers, even the absolutely bad ass ones, are not. I give you points for the world in conflict intro, I have to take them away again becuase of the trailer. Sorry.

These are all great, keep them coming guys.

Freedom Fighters, one of my fav games ever. Been years since I played that, still remember the music though.

It would have had more of an effect if she actually died from it, me thinks.

Thats ok, he has nothing to hide. It was all burned off in his first game

My vote:

This was the exact cut scene I was thinking of just before I clicked.
In my mind it was "It is DMC3 jumping off that tower. Not contest"

I bet that made him a sad panda. Still, pants are almost a necessity for cool characters. Even Daxter's coolness factor went up alot when he got himself a pair of pants.

It's just too epic not to be.

seems like someone should have mentioned this already

Though the ads are annoying

Intros are usually mentioned as intro , so far the clips shown are cut scenes as topic suggests

Is this only for cutscene's or trailers aswell? because for trailers i have a dozen:

Assassins Creed (all)
WOW
swtor
Bioshock
most of halo (that frozen battle gives me the creeps)
DOW
some call of duties..
warhammer mark of chaos etc..

OT: Don't you think Niko from GTA4 has the coolest voice ever? i do.

I'm going to agree, I think the DMC3 cut scene was super cheesy.
One of my favorite vg cut scenes would be



(I'm come up with an in game scene soon)

Cutscenes only. Trailers might get another thread with how much love they are getting here.

Personally, I think Bioshocks 2 and Infinite tie with Dragon Age Origins and 2's trailers.

That tends to be because Trailers > Cutscenes in about 80% of cases.
