Uhhh... Saying "Joystiq has a real hard-on for Grandma's Boy" is like saying Playboy has a real hard-on for naked girls...

CG cutscenes and gaming culture

Jan 3rd 2007 5:51PM (Joystiq)

CG Cutscenes are a lie...

Any of the CD-ROM based consoles and beyond can display hollywood-budget video and CG. But I don't care that millions of dollars worth of equipment can make an CG image that looks amazing. I already know that. That's why we have movies.

I love storytelling aspects of games, but show me what this $400 piece of hardware can do.

Leave me submerged in the same virtual environement I play the game in.

And PLEASE stop showing off CG cutscenes in commercials. Ever see a Final Fantasy commercial? Looks like the most amazing looking game ever. Then you pop it in and it's a 2d turn-based crap basket. No thanks.
