| Â | Gamasutra - Features - "GDC 2003: How to Build a Better Cutscene" |
 | | Cutscenes allow players to take a break from their efforts and just be entertained, so anytime a player completes a difficult task, a cutscene can act as a kind of reward. | | | Some games have so many cutscenes, or such long cutscenes, that you have to wonder whether the game designers had a movie in mind instead of a game. | | | And then there are those games with such boring, confusing, ill-conceived cutscenes that it would have been better if they hadn't bothered making any cutscenes at all. |

| Â | Gamasutra - Features - "Better Game Design Through Cutscenes" [04.01.02] |
| | Cutscenes are meant to portray activities happening in the game world, and lose all power if the player views them as dislocated from or irrelevant to that world. | | | New cutscenes can often be one of the most tangible rewards for a player's completing any goal within a game. | | | It is possible to use a cutscene, most often Machinima cutscenes, to portray conversations between the player character and non-player characters, without the possibility for player interaction except at occasional key points. |

| Â | the cutscene is an essential part of a game’s rhetorical and intertextual address to the player, a dimension of ... |
| | In his excellent article about configurative mechanisms in games, The Gaming Situation [5], Markku Eskelinen rightly points out, drawing on Espen Aarseths well-known typology of cybertexts, that playing a game is predominantly a configurative practice, not an interpretative one like film or literature (page 1-2). | | | The most accentuated expression of such an impure duality is found in the oscillation between cutscenes and play in typical story-based action games. | | | I argue that any game event is also a representational event, a part of a typical and familiar symbolic action, in which cutscenes often play a crucial part. |

| Â | Creating MotS Style Cutscenes |
| | With the Mysteries of the Sith add-on pack, the cutscenes changed from video to being "acted" out by the graphics engine of the game itself. | | | The cutscene will exit to an external view (like pressing F1), show a message that it has been activated, then the camera will rotate 360 degrees around the player, while playing a sound. | | | The player will start in that room, walk up to the console, activate it (by pressing the space bar) and then the cutscene will begin. |

| Â | BioWare Forums: Cutscenes and cinematics |
| | Since Bioware is all about the story, I doubt that they'll ever make another game without cutscenes. | | | One benefit would be that the cutscenes and gameplay would meld together rather than seeming like two seperate things. | | | With the onset of normal mapped characters and next generation graphics many a 3d artist that works in cinematics for games is starting to wonder what the future holds for the cinematics we see as common today. |

| Â | Playable Levels with Cutscenes |
| | Before you are thrown into the game, you are introduced to the general story with a sequence of cutscenes that lasts about 20 minutes. | | | Probably the best usage of cutscenes for a level pack, unlike others, the cutscenes are shown inbetween levels, not during levels. | | | The other cutscenes didn't really add to the feel of the game. |

| Â | Ludology.org: I love cutscenes |
| | Cutscenes set the mood, set the background and help to understand the behaviors of the games (for example, recognizing the bad guys; suggesting what your strategies for defense may be, etc). | | | To make a long story short, for the record, cutscenes are important and needed in games. | | | The problem, as usual, comes when game designers play Hollywood directors. |

| Â | [No title] |
| | We've already decided that the cutscene is going to take place behind a window so we'll need to make a level with, say, two corridors next to each other and a window in the middle. | | | The very first thing you have to do is decide just what type of cutscene this is going to be.... | | | It's important to establish this early on otherwise the player may get slightly confused when they expect the cutscene to finish only to suddenly launch into another few minutes. |

| Â | IGN Boards - What happened to my cutscenes? |
| | I heard that if you push one of the buttons on the PS2 while the cutscene was playing, the game skips it...is that what happened? | | | Did my game DVD screw up or is there some kinda exotic bug going around that I just so stumbled upon. | | | The intimate scene in the baths, the kissing and the rewinding all sounds GREAT but I've beaten PoP twice on PS2 and I still didn't see any of that in my game. |
