Honestly the medal of honor cutsenes look great compared to some of the recent cutsenes in games..
I still can’t believe King Kong had a jpg in the middle of already terrible cutscenes
He put that on the video as bait to get people to comment
i read that at jrpg and was very confused
Yeah I didn't find them so bad, really surprised to see it in this list, there are far far far worse ones that could have easily taken its place.
Yeah I didn't really find it all that bad
I dont see the issue with the medal of honor cut scene. The CGI was great, especially for the time and in a video game.
Exactly what I was going to comment. I thought the facial animations were really good. Even compared to some games now.
Yeah me niether, sure the kid looked pretty spooky but damn they were way better than Mass Effect.
100%
I usually agree with the bird, but I think he was way off base here.
Falcon tripping this time. Even now it looks great!
For me they were squarely in the uncanny valley. I get where he's coming from.
Man, every time I think game journalism sounds fun, a game like The Walking Dead Destinies comes out. Thank you for your service. 🙏
I kinda like that Zelda cutscene animation. It's "80s cartoon-esque" with a hint of "someone spiked my LSD with more LSD"
I was thinking lie if the style of "Yellow Submarine" at it's most deranged.
it's actually really amazing animation for 1991 pixel animation. Like, it's wild considering how absolutely dogshit pen tablets were back then. It's a legit flex.
@@imrpovking845 Yeh you're right there is definite intent with some of the strange decisions made
They did the animation for most of the Terry Pratchett books adaptations. Works well with those.
They looked terrific when it came out, like stuff from the future
Medal of Honor Warfighter honestly looks really good. Especially for a PS3 era game.
I thought the same. That is what a normal military family looks like.
MoH shouldn't have been anywhere near this list. Sooo many more worse games out there.
Its ps3?? the hell is falcon on about. Looks great
@@KombatKochPartDeuxnah that little girls face is freaky looking, but I do agree that the cutscene as a whole is honestly great
I like how gameranx really solidified the hate of these cutscenes with a warning in the description😂😂
I expected something worse, but I guess I've got a strong resistance against cringe.
Some of these are not even that bad.
watch the video he references in the intro. its better which by better i mean it shows worse
Are you f****** serious?
1:40 don't forget The Forgotten game that also has still images Like name AMY
I think it'd be cool to see the 10 BEST Cutscenes in Video Games, the ones that really go above and beyond with the storytelling and graphical fidelity ya know.
Yeah ones like
Mass effect 3 - attack on Earth
TLOU - Henry sam Joel and Ellie in the cabin
Bioshock infinity - welcome to rapture
God of war - blades of chaos
Rdr2 - I’m afraid
That one scene from God Of War 3 where Kratos rages out on Zeus for killing Pandora… definitely add that to the list
But I can't rage click that. I only like hate watching things.
@@lurpakspreadable4994 id even say tlou ending where she says "okay" to joel lying about what happened at the hospital.
@@trxsh_oc yeah it’s a great ending, but talking about cutscenes the cinematic and dramatic scene in the cabin cutting to fall will always be one of the shocking video game moments I’ve ever seen
Maybe it's just because I've spent time in *very* rural parts of the United States, but the Medal of Honor cutscenes just didn't look weird to me.
Actually looked pretty good. I've seen weirder looking people and much weirder looking children.
Weirdest looking people live in city. This dude has never been to Portland
Yeah, i agree. The daughter definitely looked pretty weird, but just about everyone else looked fine.
@@thebrutalistboi1846 if he wanted to criticize them, he could have mentioned the terrible writing and voice acting.... but no, gotta go after the least offensive thing
The characters in Walking Dead: Destinies look like they were designed by someone who only watched the show through a stained glass window 😂
"MOH Warfighter" is a good game with fairly realistic graphics & animations for it's time. I agee with all the others mentioned being poor but not "Warfighter".
good game? i agree with that the cutscenes don't look nearly as bad as this video claims.... but the game itself is total garbage
It looks as though the devs were basing the character of Dr Reed in Remothered: Tormented Fathers on Jodie Foster's portrayal of Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs.
Reed even looks like Jodie. It was the first thing I noticed about her.
Medal of Honor Warfighter was 2012 wasn't it? I feel like compared to other things at the time it wasn't the worst thing out there.....
Compared to certain current games it looks great
What I learned today is in bad games scary ends up goofy and whimsical ends up terrifying.
Medal of Honor Warfighter was ahead of his time.
Remothered is closer to clock tower than silent hill
It was even supposed to be a spiritual successor to it
It's interesting how most of these are horror games, shows how developers have to be careful to keep the tension in a horror setting otherwise they just end up looking just uncanny and weird
Of course, there is such horror that is derived from intentionally being uncanny and weird.
They’re also more of a niche genre. Resident Evil aside, they tend to be made by small development teams.
Who told these people that it's normal in voice acting a scene for people to cut off the end of every sentence said by the other person? People talk over others to a degree but not like that.
Also, the cutscene moment that still give me nightmares... "I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with LIIIIIGHT!!!!!"
I'm like 89% sure that was in the "Cringey cutscenes" list he mentioned, that list was beautiful.
I wouldn't call that a "bad cutscene" per se, more "they should've given the poor bastard another take where his voice didn't crack mid-line", because that's where most of the cringe is for me.
@@denebkaitos7511 he also shouldn't have tried to yell a damn novel in one breath. That's a situation where most characters might've gone with a nice, scenery chewing "nooooooo" not a full, comprehensible sentence.
Smfh, Y'all.
The worst cutscene imo is the one where I accidentally walked in on two trolls… erm… “messing” around, to put it lightly in Baldur’s Gate 3. That was traumatizing
😅
Damn that's hot
The worst for me was when I played Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and Snapes mouth glitched in a cutscene where his jaw dropped to his chest and his entire mouth was just this black pit. Scared the hell out of me
Or that shit with the bear 😭😭
I thought it was downright hilarious
I genuinely thought (the little girl aside) that the Medal Of Honor one looked really good considering it's a decade old game now.
I've played games this year on the PS5 that don't look that good. Really strange one to add I have to say. Surely there's worse than that in the history of gaming?
yeah that was odd addition
The crazy part is that Medal of Honor cut scene is miles ahead of anything from Starfield
I feel like you were being way too harsh on that Medal of Honor: Warfighter cutscene. The daughter's face looked a bit strange, but I thought everyone else looked amazing? The animations were excellent, and the detail was great... ? I'm really confused by that entry.
Uncanny valley
@@tartatovsky name one game with “photo realistic” graphics that isn’t though. Those cutscenes could compete with modern games easily.
For me the worst scene in modern gaming is when Abby seems to take it full from her behind on on that boat in TLOU 2. It was disturbing to say the least
Thank you for reminding me of that….
Welcome brother.
She took it dryer than a golf club
I forgot about that until this comment...
Those mouths moving in Ride to Hell are very similar to the first Half-Life almost 20 years ago. 😂
And halo ce
Can't forget 90% of the cutscenes in Mass Effect Andromeda...
What actually happened in the cutscenes weren't that bad, but for some reason, a lot of the scenes with characters talking to eachother made the characters look like they had ben dipped in wax, their eyes either fixed to a spot somewhere behind you or just randomly darting all over the place, and often with closeups so close that i was scared that my glasses would fog over from their breath when they talked...
Indeed, though I was fortunate enough not get the game myself, I have friends who did. By what I saw, (when I wasn’t busting out laughing at the horrendous glitches) was that it was pure nightmare fuel… BioWare really screwed up there I’m afraid!
My face is tired O__O.
ME A is actually really good. Another youtube pile on from a bunch of a clowns who never played it.
Darkseed 1 was one of the best horror games at the time, the oppressive, unhealthy atmosphere, full of anxiety and horror, all bathed in the art of Giger was impressive. I loved and love that game. It's almost never mentioned much unfortunately.
I like the atmosphere of the first game, i have no clue what happened on the 2nd game.
The small UA-camr maajular just did a good video on both of the games for Halloween.
It was the most brutal character assassination I ever saw in media.@@thisWinglessAngel
That game was fantastic but it was so haaard. And I'm fine with hard point and clicks. I beat Darkfall without a guide (It's really good but you're gonna need an entire notebook to take since there's no in game journal, some of the puzzles are fairly difficult, and final puzzle has a LOT of red herrings. Don't be afraid to sketch in addition to take notes.)
Darkseed's time limit though was so punishing. The timing was so tight in parts. At least it wasn't too bad to restart and try again.
The kid is the only substantially weird looking one in the Medal of Honor cutscenes IMO, the others look pretty good
The worst cut scene is when the video ends and we don't get to play the game anymore :(
What happens when you finish a game? The game just uninstalls itself?
What?😂
Whomp whomp
@believeinmatter some classic console games arelike that. A crap ton of games exist
Ps. Don't be small minded guys
Depends on the Game...some, you are very thankfully they are over and you no longer have to play it.
the keys being destroyed in the fall had me rolling lol
ok i LOLed at that kids face right after thinking "oh its not that bad"
I had no idea those Zelda the faces of evil cut scenes were real. I thought that was some fan made stuff that became popular on early UA-cam as a meme. that is hilarious.
Those Walking Dead Destinies cutscenes are straight out of a Midway game in 2003.
The Remothered dialogue actually seems pretty natural to me. I like how he's constantly cutting her off. He's hurriedly making excuses. I know it's not normally how cutscenes play, but it's how people talk in real life. I find it really cringe when the opposite happens in games - long pauses where there shouldn't be, or even pauses when it's clear the dialogue was written as if the character should be getting cut off.
Exactly. Overall, I love that game. Hate that the series won't continue.
In the Stray Souls one, the wife is cooking what looks like half a human torso (arm and all) and the child is already covered in blood. No wonder the husband blew them all away. Just adds to the unintentional hilarity though.
I liked remothered. Being chased relentlessly was way to tense
Two things I genuinely hate in video games…#1, Static cutscenes (which are essentially the ear marks of a tight budget, or a lazy team). #2, Game where details go into the playable character but not into the environment or NPCs. That’s usually when one finds themselves trying to justify the drivel they’re pushing through because they paid for it.
Wouldn't you say the same for lack Of Voice Acting in games? I don't understand how the Zelda games are so famous
@@peacekillerzTo be fair, (in some cases) story, or gameplay can supersede dialogue…like Clyde in GTA III which might explain the Zelda appeal, but it’s not an excuse for poor delivery.
Yeah, especially where the beginning of the game has animated cutscenes, but the end of the game is static-filled. Poor poor time/budget management.
Bruh how can you not hate repetitive ass dialogue😂😂🤦🏻♂️thas the absolute worst
#3 bland voice acting like it's come from ChatGpT, or they've dragged a member of staff to do Npc voice sampling
falcon is the last of his species because i ate the other birds
Press 'F' to... 😅
One cutscene that always bothered me was the cutscene at the end of the first mission in Halo 4. I remember I was so excited to play the game, was excited to blow up another covenant ship and then when you do it breaks into like 3 pieces and is completely hollow inside - just kind of disappointing, especially the first time I played it.
It was like lego. So weak.
What's sad is the first medal of honor reboot game was amazing
the ones you cant skip
Remothered certainly ain't deserve this. Its a great indie horror, made on a very tight budget and one of the hidden gems of this genre.
Costed less than 150k $ and sold more than 1/2 mln units so, yep, the choice to include it here is pathetic itself already.
@@littlesewingmachine yep. I like falcon, but In this case he certainly doesn't know what he's talking about. It's like shitting on deadly premonition
@@fuctupkidmilesyou’re right. I had Remothered on my backlog for a while since I thought it looked lame but it was phenomenal. The way the characters talk and the camera changes IS part of direction. And it works phenomenally In this game where the story gets crazier as it unravels
Facts.
I like to imagine that I’m in a video game college class, and Falcon is my professor going on a rant about anything and everything
I'd love to see a "Top 10 Sound Design in Games" gameranx video. Sound design is such an important part of games that gets overlooked sometimes. Two that I can think of with fantastic sound design are Elite Dangerous and theHunter Call of the Wild, but there's so many more.
truth. need some more video on the audio side of games. Action games don't feel good if the guns and punches sound like cheap fireworks and limp slapping.
Good sound design can make or break a horror game. The OG Dead Space wouldn't be the horror icon that it is without the sound design creating that iconic atmosphere. The OG game didn't have the beautifully ray-traced lighting and volumetrics the remake has and, lets be honest, some of the OG's game-play was really clunky; the sound design is what carried the player's attention all the way to that twist ending.
Final Fantasy is known for their beautifully orchestrated soundtracks.
Half-Life would be pretty high up. So many memorable sounds and little quirks that make the world feel very unique.
Elite dangerous should geta mention there
Inscryption is one example of phenomenal sound design
Hey, RE:Dead Aim's main cutscenes were super detailed back then....The inengine cutscenes, 😂.
Also, the mismatched subtitles & sound mixing's glorious in that wonderfully bonkers game. ❤ it forever!
Good god. After actually finishing the video, I’m even more flabbergasted at your choice of number 9!
Seriously, you’d have to either be delusional or have a vendetta against EA or Medal of Honor to include it on this list along with all the other insane shit that actually deserves to be here.
Maby he does have a vendetta against EA. EA is terrible
Hey, I know. Let’s get outraged.
its was a very underrated game imo
I actually like Warminster when it came out. I think the only reason it didn't destroy COD is because people refused to give it a try
Oh dang, Blood came out 2 days before I was born. I'm so glad aged better than that game.
Blood has aged fantastically and is still one of the greatest fps games of all time. The cutscenes are just silly.
The worst cutscenes are the ones you can't skip.
Omfg they had NO budget for those Walking Dead cutscenes
An honorable mention: The cutscenes in the original Mirror's Edge game could have easily been mistaken for those horrible Esurance commercials from around the same time.
I love how whenever somebody brings up the Zelda CD-i games, they always forget that there were THREE of them. Sure, everyone remembers Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon, but nobody talks about the FMV disaster that is Zelda's Adventure.
It's not really relevant to this list, just had to mention it after Falcon clarified that there were "2 in total" on the CD-i.
Blood is a great pick for #1. Monoloth didn’t have a lot of money to do CGI and voice acting. The head of the studio actually did the big bad’s voice.
However, they made one of the best shooters of all time, with one of the best protagonists of all time and they got Stephen Waite to do the voice. Blood is phenomenal. But the cutscenes are impressively bad. Even in the Fresh Supply remaster there was nothing Nightdive could do fix those train wrecks.
Seriously, if anybody hasn’t seen it, I recommend Civvie-11’s Pro Blood series. It’s great.
Remothered tormented father visuals are actually good, cutscenes wise too. I honestly don't know if the graphics, pace, movement and dialogues are bad but served some consistent thematics, or it was done on purpose. But the end results is serving the horror and creepy story very well 😂
3:35 "With Preacher's ghoulish looking wife, and hideous child, triggering all the wrong emotions in what are meant to warm family moments."
Pretty sure Remothered is in the Clock Tower verse.
Im genuinely blown away you put blood so high. Those cutscenes are ICONIC
That Medal of Honor cutscene looked good to me
Eh, the guys didn't look as bad as they made them out to be, but the wife definitely had some weirdness to her and the daughter was uncanny as all hell.
I'm one who doesn't hate on MoH Warfighter like others. I think it's underrated for what it is. But, I do think they nailed how awful those character models are in the cutscenes.
"I respect the deranged energy in a weird way" absolutely sent me lol
Wait, Blood had cutscenes? That was one of my favorite games, I still quote it all the time (especially the cultist weird language shout out lines), but I don't remember it ever having cutscenes...
Darkseed 2 is hilarious because poor Mike Dawson (the REAL Mike Dawson who programmed and acted in the original Darkseed) lost the copyright to HIMSELF.
The Mike Dawson in Darkseed 2 is neither played by nor voiced by the original guy. That's gotta be surreal for Mike, who now actually teaches computer game making.
One of my all-time favorite game videos was Game Informer's look at Ride to Hell. Dan Ryckert said at the start "I wanted as many people in here as possible because I just played the first hour and you all need to see this." Didn't take long to see what he was so excited about. God, what a train wreck that game was.
I used to think cutscenes on games is the rewards you get playing the game. Specially with RPGs after a tedious grinding, then overcoming a crazy boss fight, watching the story unfolds with the use of CGI made me fell inlove playing RPGs since the psX era, like a book that comes to life.
I used to think that too when playing Spyro
I mean if you think about it, it kinda is.
Falcon, regarding the Blood cutscenes... look up the last one where you beat the end boss. That is always worth a laugh from how silly the scene is, if nothing else.
I'm pretty sure Walking Dead Desitinies 3D models are made in a free tool that "a certain video game genre" uses in visual novels that they put on Steam these days.
I forgot the name of that tool, but these models and their poses are way too unique looking to miss. I believe animating them aren't that big of a deal, so that's %100 cut costs.
I can't believe very qualified people at Skybound looked at this and said it's alright to publish.
Medal of Honor looked better than starfield
Falcon, you are one of the best commentators I have ever heard. Keep it up. Sir. You're hilarious.🎉
facts! imo, better than Jake
Should consider replacing Jake altogether. He's an ok guy, but his voice is like an ice pick to the brain in comparison.
I like Jake a lot. The team as a whole does a great job. Falcon just makes me laugh like no tomorrow. Jake is incredibly informative & a smooth talker.
didn’t think medal of honor looked that bad… then the wife walked in
Looking back on it I don’t really know how I though it, but I remember mistaking medal of honours cutscenes for real life, having to question myself. Definitely looks dated now but for the time it was insanely impressive.
Bro, the worst cutscenes are the ones where the game is unpaused and you get shot in the back then the enemy randomly combusts into funny ragdoll, which kills you when you leave and you are playing on a permadeath or forgot to save
Any examples on this?
I think the cutscenes in MoH Warfighter aren't that bad for a 2012 game. It wasn't the best at its time, but nowhere to be included in Top10 the WORST cutcenes. I've seen many worse for 2023 games.
I dont know what you or him are talking about. It looks great, even now (specifically the two guys in the hospital scene)
I agree ..it looks really well made cgi for cutscene
How dare you mention the Zelda Phillips CD-I games and not show Zelda and the king laughing. Absolute BLASPHEMY 😂
Hey i love CDI zelda and link! I own the physical copies since they released when i was a kid, my dad gifted me the CDI and those games for birthday since his best friend was a philips employee back then, those games have always been precious to me but now that my dad has passed away so they became even more legendary!
"Speaking of insane indie horror games made by creators with more ideas than sense..." has gotta be the greatest Falcon takedown in the history of the bird.
I love cutscenes in games especially when your customize character appears within the cutscenes with all your edits, makes you feel that the games story respects you. 😉
In Red Dead: Redemption 2, I like that your custom outfit changes depending on the cutscene, for example: In the mission “Blessed Are The Peacemakers.” If you go in with a coat, and after escaping captivity and being nurse back to health, your custom Arthur will apear without his coat. I like that detail.
BEEN waiting for a list of this
When mentioning resident evil I honestly was expecting you to show the “jill sandwich” cutscene 😂
When Falcon says "Everytime I boot up the game"... yeah sure you do bud
Remothered was inspired by Clock Tower and was originally going to be a Clock Tower game, but I think due to legal reasons everything was restarted into what we have today. Chris Darril is a guy to look into and they have a new game coming soon. The story is bonkers once you make it to the end as you unravel the truth ( especially when you find out about the Old Man and what happened to them when they were younger )
I hate he dropped the Remothered series, but he was disappointed by the second game because of all the rewrites and other additions that he didn't approve of. Really disappointed me.
No "excuuuuuse me princess"? It's the best line 😂
Companies shouldnt fear sales dropping, they should fear Falcon roasting the hell out of them. 😂😭
17:41 I LOVE Falcon’s endless tangents that come out of nowhere, and this was probably my favourite so far! 🤣 “It goes in here, and it STAYS in here!”
"DO NOT TOUCH MY DRAWERS!" and then he jumped out a window 😅😅 everything I hear about that game makes it sound like solid chaos made by a group of monkeys on the widest possible variety of drugs.
Tormented Fathers at least had some solid ideas. But looking at Broken Porcelain, it gets even more ridiculous, although they doubled their budget
"I dont recall seeing beautiful doctors like you at the institute" immediately pans to ghoulish, waxy skinned woman.
"Oh no! I'm being chased my a naked man covered in poop wielding a shotgun!"
"Nice! A dead body! I am a feeling a little hungry, I guess a quick little nibble wouldn't hurt. Surely, poop man with a shotgun must have forgotten me by now."
Hello gameranx i wanted to say that the videos you guys make are the best
Hello
100% agree on the weird cutscenes in Remothered Tormented Fathers, however the game did give me the spookies 👻
The cutscenes are the vibe of the game. I’ve played a hundred horror games and this was so fresh compared to others
@@Luis-rp2lmwrong. It was bad
@@tartatovsky nah it was good. Such an amazing vibe, and the plot twists were crazy
@@Luis-rp2lm Exactly.
1:04 if you do a second video, Redfall deserves consideration. Their cutscenes are basically what The Walking Dead did and this was from a supposed AAA studio (despite losing 80% of the workforce that had made them great to begin with).
Suggestion: Can you make the number scenes dark mode? Idk about other ppl but I watch your videos at night, and they are like a flashbang in cs.
Resident Evil 1 cut scene was actually awesome.
It made the game feel somehow more real and Jill Valentine actress was my crush back then. Loved her!
Dude… that Walking Dead game is… wow.
I don’t even understand how something like that even gets made! Why does it exist?! How?!
Could they not get likeness rights?! Why does Rick look like a creepy mashup of Rick and Shane or something… it’s soooo bad!
Those Zelda cutscenes look like if MeatCanyon used MS Paint
The log left on the toilet in stray souls gets me.
Amazing video gameranx of the worst cut scene in video games,fantastic job.
I actually rather liked some facets of Dead Aim's cutscenes - I will agree about the odd faces and uninspired designs of the human characters, but there were some sophisticated things taking place. For one thing, a lot of the cutscenes involved rack-focuses, which was very new to CGI at the time (as one big advantage CGI has over live action is that, unless programmed otherwise, everything in is focus at all times) - things like rack-focuses involve programing artificial Lenses, which was never really done in game cutscenes, or even movies, at the time. And there are other facets that work - the locations around the characters at times do look rather real, they seem to be lit more akin to how they would look in reality than the usual Cinematic Lighting that all other Resident Evil cutscenes employ, and the explosions, like that grenade, have some well done particle effects for 2003.
The biggest problems with the cutscenes are a combination of the absurdist heavy-handed over-stylization of how each moment plays out, and then frankly awful writing. I mean, the opening line is (verbatim) "Why you American agents insist on using such ugly guns, is still a mystery to me!" And many of the lines of dialogue in later cutscenes make NO sense whatsoever - like, you reach the end of the sewers, where Bruce starts having a conversation with radio, and the other voice is too distorted to hear clearly. And Bruce's opening lines are (also verbatim): "What?! Five billion dollars?!" .. "But that would make Fongling's presence here obsolete!!" I have a soft-spot for Dead Aim so I've played through it a lot of times, and I still have absolutely no idea what in the world they were even talking about (anything I understand is from looking it up afterward)
4:35 The guy looks like Garrett from Dude Perfect! 😂
Don't ever watch this in the dark, got flashbanged at every number
I think the most baffling thing about The Walking Dead cutscenes is that if they couldn't animate it, couldn't they have paid more to just use the scenes directly from the show??? I'd rather see that than static nothings cutscenes.
Halo reach: cutscene you cant skip when you launch into space, takes forever and on legendary you sit through it countless times🎉
While the cutscenes of RE Dead Aim are quite clumsy indeed, listing them amongst the WORST feels like a bit of overstatement.
That old mans eyebrows at 10:00 could start their own window washing business. Spray some glass cleaner on em and just tell him to tell a story to the glass.
