I was wondering what people thought for which game (series) has the best "movie" visuals, not gameplay graphics, but that little extra the developers put into their game's movies/cutscenes.
Need games to nominated first. 1 nomination per member. You need to have at least 2-4 videos to be able to go with the game to get in the poll.
I submit the armoed core series. Their intro movies are so AMAZING that if they made a full 2 hou movies with these graphics it would definitly get nominated to some award show. Although its IMPOSSIBLE to find a good youtube video that shows the graphics. These videos prolly only show 40% of the details that watching them from the actual game display.

Armored Core: For Answer has the best opening I've ever seen, so I have to agree with AC.

I would see your Armored Core and raise you a MGS.
Other fantastic cinematics: Final Fantasy series. (From 7 and up, since before that there really wasn't the horsepower to do it.)
can I include the Quantic Dream games as a series? Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain are basically choose your own adventure movies.

the acutal locked-in cinematics were few and far between for MW2. I'll admit there was plenty to show and tell in the game though. I'll give that one to you, but only because of the 'No Russian' mission. Craziest shit I've ever done in a video game? Probably not, but damned if I wasn't entertained.
Also, MGS = Metal Gear Solid

I know what it means, I used the question mark as an 'Oh Really? You think that was good?' kind of way.
The only good MGS was the 3rd, and it was simply beautiful.

I thought we were talking cinematics yeah? as far as epic cinematics, you really can't get any better than MGS.

wow thats all fine and great but no videos means it's not getting put into the poll so youtube it up.
Wesker i can guess where your votes gonna be Though i have to disagree with "which" AC game has the best intro. I personally dont own a PS3 nor will i in the next year, but i bet the graphics are awesome, but personally Last Raven i think was my favorite you get a real sense of them being picked off one at a time. It's either that or the AC3. You think the red Ravens are gonna win but, what i'm assuming, the Controller AC's end up taking them out.

I disagree. Maybe it's just me, but STALKER doesn't impress me graphically or gameplay wise. It is somewhat fun, but somehow fails in both areas. Not only that, but the immediate story isn't interesting to me in the slightest. The background and history of the zone is, but not the Strelok story.

The opening video for Darksiders kicked every ass. Too bad the rest of the game looked like shit...

why should u care what a game is looks graphically we all still love the classics like pac man etc the game play is good too u probly complaining cos u cant kill stuff in one hit with an assault rifle if you take one it dont matter lol
the back ground story is just pure epic and strelok is ment to not have much know about him u probly get more info the more u game u play like the two squeals and alot of game now days donteven bother with giveing much background info on you guy
