Best Cutscene EVAR

[lacktheknack]

As maligned as cutscenes can be, some are undeniably awesome. What's your favorite? Why?

This is my favorite. It finally puts the last nail in Angela's character, and ends her story in the most screwed-up way it could tastefully end.

I always loved the opening of Kingdom Hearts II.

The opening of Red Alert 1 is my favorite.

 

[RatRace123]

Does this count as a cutscene, it's an intro... meh I'll count it.

 

[Solo-Wing]

I win this thread. *ends thread* XD

 

[Stammer]

The opening of Red Alert 1 is my favorite.

Oooh, good choice. Though one of my favourites is still:
I've pretty much memorized every line in this cutscene haha.

 

[viranimus]

My personal favorite of recent memory is the "evil" ending of demon's souls

Skip to 3:50

Spoiler

There is something that just sets off shivers of ultimate badassery in me when I see it.

 

[Skullpanda]

Damnit, Justin! You took the one I wanted to use...

Well, there's this one, which is a bit earlier on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdYMtPf1NY4


And if you count intro sequences, Borderlands fits quite well:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai7pMPCDHpo

AHA! Ninja'd BEEYATCH! XD JKJK any fan of FF9 is a friend in my books.
Also got another scene from FF9 that I loved to no ends.
Poor Vivi :'( That little black mage just wants to know where he came from...

Damn Ninja! Beat me to it!

This has been an inside joke between my friend Freddie and I for years! I can't believe someone else would choose this terribly AWESOME video. Great choice!

Well, these are huge spoilers for people who haven't played it, and it's more an emotionally intense cutscene if you're familiar with the game.

KEVIN LEGGETT's Secret (Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway)

BIA has some great cutscenes, and one of the best stories in any shooter ever made.

 

[The Madman]

I've posted it before in these topics and I'll post it again, my personal favourite cutscene EVER:


Beautiful, unique, stylish, frightening, intriguing... it's got it all!

 

[Amethyst Wind]

I am quite fond of this scene (not sure I'd call it the best, but it's up there).

Spoiler: Possible spoilers, it only came out last year after all

 

[RandallJohn]

This Crisis Core cutscene gets good 44 seconds in (after Genesis is done talking.)

 

[Instant K4rma]

Metal Gear Solid 4.

Wait...

OT:


No dialogue. Just Sephiroth.

Yay! Compared to Band of Brothers, I find the stories in BiA actually more relatable because of the characters.
