Wow. Mgs4 didnt even win 1 award? thats kinda messed up too about gta4. i dont like this bafta place...

MGS4 was what the industry calls the "eye-roller" of the year.It was mostly over the top pork in the budget with all the movies. The industry has moved away from CGI -cutscenes, so this was one of those "4 years too late" ideas, to flood the game with movie cutscenes. It would have been better for the story to be told during the actual gameplay. In the end, its what kept MGS4 from being recognized by many outside the immediate Metal Gear fanbase.

"The industry has moved away from CGI -cutscenes, so this was one of those "4 years too late"

you obviously havent played MGS4 to say that , cause the game doesnt have any CGI cutscenes what-so-fucking-ever they are in game , (if you discount the funny real-time channels in the intro)

2)

"It would have been better for the story to be told during the actual gameplay"

MGS is known for being the best at doing that, IE fluedly moving from cutescenes to gameplay,and gameplay with storyline.

 

Please dont judge a game before actually knowing what it is and playing it, i dont wanna go into ranting mood again today already did it =]

1 - So you'll tell me that the death of the vampire guy of questionable sexual preference (pardon if I dont recall names) was an in game story? It was all a cgi cutscene, the part with the chopper circling around as well? There are a ton of cgi cutscenes, and this was said by other devs, not myself.

2 - Moving from cutscene to gameplay is not the story being told via actual gameplay. A better reference would be a conversation via a comlink while you're hunting around, still playing the game, or chasing down a truck that runs over an important ally, etc.

3 - I did play a bit of the game, and watched a roommate play a good portion of it, or moreso a series of "come here and check this out" over the course of several weeks.

Stop trying to kill the messenger. He's packing heat.

@bolded text

haha... if you only know...

 

anyways

1) CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) is different than Ingame cutscenes,

 

This is CGI

This is In Game Cutscenes

 

 

2 - Yes that is also what im talking about , Cutscenes to  Gameplay  to gameplay + storyline, MGS probably do it the best.

 

no harming the messenger. =]
