Күн бұрынIn this video I am sharing my absolute love and joy over FMVs, pre-rendered graphics and older graphics in general. They will always look so cool and awesome to me, so I wanted to talk about it and explain exactly WHY I think they are so cool and awesome :) Hope you enjoy!

I love that you pick a lot of less popular and obscure games to highlight how cool fmv was. It’s easy to just point to square enix’s catalogue, but there are so many other good examples

Thank you!! Square Enix is great but the obsure and less popular stuff is always super fun to research. Glad you enjoyed!😄

I still think the FMV's of Resident Evil Remake 1 are the height of what can be done. Even now, I think no Resident Evil has come close to replicating the "horror" off that gamecube game, which is insane. FMV's also made moments like Aerith's 🗡 memorable. Great video again!
@irislyoko Ай бұрын
Totally agree, there's something that has almost been lost over time and the FMVs can't quite be replicated the same way. It's insane for sure, but that's why it makes it so great to look back on them :) I'm happy you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for commenting!

There’s an indie game called Alisa that recently came out which is one of the few PS1 styled indies to actually include FMV cutscenes in that style. As various animation tools become more accessible, I would love if more indie games get to replicate the late 90’s/early 2000’s look.
@irislyoko Ай бұрын
Ohh yes Alisa has been on my wishlist for a while!! I didn't know that it includes FMV cutscenes though which is amazing - thank you for commenting!! I agree, I would also love to see more indie games try out the 90s/early 2000s look- there's so much potential!

I adore fmvs despite never growing up with them (since I was a baby) I was always drawn to the inherent dreamy feel they incite! Thank you for introducing a lot of new games I’ve never heard of

Oh that's really awesome!! It's always great to hear when someone loves this kind of stuff despite not growing up with it. Glad you enjoyed and I'm happy I could introduce you to some games, too!

Watched because I was happy to see someone else show some love to FMVs, subbed for The Longest Journey appreciation. Such a fantastic game!

Thank you so much!! I'm happy to hear that someone else loves The Longest Journey as much as I do! It definitely needs more love😄

i understand how you feel about pre rendered cutscenes and the sense of accomplishment! seeing them pop up motivates me to keep playing to see them all
@irislyoko 9 күн бұрын
Yes! I just remembered that I always loved it when games had a cutscene gallery, too! Like unlocking them in that way felt really satisfying ahaha :')

Something about how weird and otherworldly outdated CGI looks is always what appealed to me about it. Feels like I'm entering another world.
@irislyoko 28 күн бұрын
Yes exactly! Even now I feel like I get sucked in more with older CGI, compared to any newer more realistic stuff.

I still own ( Blam) Machinehead ( PS1 version) and I still play it on my PS2, the intro and game used to scare the crap outta me when I was a kid, the whole game had an uncanny feeling.

Nothing beats a good opening! As you say the just hype you up! Soul cailbur and tekken where the Kings of openings for games to me! Though if your looking for some cool pre-rendered backgrounds in games, Fear Effect might be one for you to check out!
@irislyoko Ай бұрын
For sure, I'm glad you agree!! Fighting games were the best for hyping you up :) And I have heard of Fear Effect but I haven't looked into it much yet so I'll do that! Thank you for the suggestion! :D

@irislyoko Ай бұрын
Thank you so much!! I'm super happy you enjoyed :D There's a clip of the game 'D' in the video from the same developers, but I completely forgot that D-2 is a separate game, I'll for sure take a closer look! It sounds awesome so thank you for sharing!!

Old CGI cutscenes in games always felt like a reward, because there were usually only a couple of them and they were short. Games can look amazing nowadays, to the point where gameplay and cutscenes look the same. That combined with how it feels like a lot of the triple A games have too many cutscenes just makes it way less rewarding and skippable

Baroque for the sega saturn and ps1 has a very interesting artstyle. the FMV cutscenes are also pretty good. My favorite dreamcast game is one called "Despiria" its a Myst style JRPG where all the graphics are prerendered and it has a dark and merky dystopian feel to it was some gross looking monster designs. It's one of the most Unique looking games ive ever seen

i have endlessly game suggestions, but speaking of this style of art i suggest checking out Blam! machine head, also it has great soundtrack also in my opinion Brave Fencer Musashi released in 1997 with a dd8 demo disk is the best game ever released for original playstation

I do love pre rendered fmvs for two reasons. First, the gamey design philosophy that was nust imposed by the technology limitations. You just can't constantly interrupt game play with faux gameplay that is just some hollywood action sequence where you have to hold foward all the time so the player can be psychologically conned into thinking they're playing not just watching. So you don't do that, and you don't design a game around that, you design a game where the non fmv session is mostly actual play. Second, because the fmv made better graphics but not pseudo realistic ones yoo well, it forced artists to make their own style, which is much more timeless than "as much realism as the technology allows, which means it will look dated in a but a few years". Stylized art is literally most art throughout human history for a reason, and that reason is not mere lack of technology.
