I mean, there are some awesome cutscenes that I love to watch over and over, but why in the FLYING FUCK would I pay money to have a standalone version of something I already own? That's why some games have a cutscene theater option, and people post videos of cutscenes on places like youtube anyway.

Considering how often in games cutscenes do no more than jarr the game with terrible and unskippable dialogue; the option to have all of that removed is a somewhat tantalising prospect.

This is still stupid, though.

The sad thing is that people are probably going to buy that shit. Because its so difficult to play 5 minutes into a level to see a cutscene. Hell, with Youtube's 1080p videos now is there even a point if you REALLY want to see a particular scene? Honestly...

There's practically only four games you could do this with, and all of them are in the MGS series.

I don't see why anyone should care.

I mean it's pretty retarded for the guy to do this out of greed, but the cut scenes are from CoVery SadBlack ops

Which look the same as Modern Warfare 1 and 2
And World at War
And every other generic FPS out there.

whoops I'm fucking stupid, the game isn't even CoD.

I still don't see whats so special about this though

If they start doing this, we better get Pixar quality cutscenes between every level.
