Opening Cutscene

Elemental Master has some really killer music juxtaposed against some charmingingly amateurish illustrations. I love it.

(also, this fellow left Gens’s input display on when recording the video lol)

i always forget about this one because it plays after the title screen, like a true attract mode

because paying 60bucks for that opening didn’t feel like it was worth it alone?
Since the game itself, uh…

I dig the NMH:TSA intro mainly because of the rapid style-shifts and energy of the VA. However, I prefer the version in the original reveal trailer slightly more because the temp actors playing the characters generally sell the lines better even if they sound less ‘professional’. Unfortunately it’s a little hard to hear them due to how the audio is mixed. The delivery of the actors in the game’s actual intro is a little subdued by comparison.

Reveal trailer (noisy audio-mixing but arguably better VA)

Final game (more professional but less energy)

i love attract modes so much. the one in robotron 2084 for arcade is fantastic, it gives you details on the plot and tips on how to handle various robot flavors

i was just talking about how i love old arcade tutorials! I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I DIDNT THINK OF THEM AS ATTRACT MODES THOUGH

The actual in-game opening cutscene for World in Conflict is a pretty bad mashup of this trailer, which is way better for it’s juxtaposition of “over there” wars with like american malls and suburbs:

You even get an AUDIOSLAVE cutscene near the end:

seizing the strategically vital food court at the mall to expand the scope of our operations in the area

wondering when CodBlops, Collarduty et al will turn to a depiction of modern warfare in cyberspace and social media filter-tsunamis, and how that will inevitably turn out to be as exciting as capitalism or cakewalk express.

so yeah, I’d be the Single Customer that’d buy this, EA better gets cracking!
