Will the Cutscenes be Improved in the future?

[Lexxuk]

Cut scenes aren't an easy thing to make, they're expensive and time consuming.

Actually, as the CS's use the ingame engine they are very easy to create. You set up a simple script telling NPC's where to go and what to do, as well as where the "camera" should be located. The scripting for text is easy too..

Ahh, [%player_first_name%], thank [%players_diety%] you came here!

In an ideal world, SE would have a programme like Unreal's kismet so creating CS's is as easy as filling in bits here and there, nothing difficult, nothing expensive, all the assets already exist.

Newp.

If you've ever actually created any half-decent cutscenes in a game engine before, especially one with unique assets it is not a simple process. It's not as long as creating something along the grandeur of the original 1.0 openings but it certainly isnt fast.

The time it takes to get the correct timing, positioning, assets, models, mise-en-scene and over-all polishing is not super-fast, even with the front-end of systems like Kismet, it takes a very very long time to make them.

If it were as simple as [Place camera here, move from here to here], shove in a few animations and slap on a music track we'd have much grander cut scenes than we do now, with a design team as fussy as this one even the lower quality cut scenes in 2.0 took a substantial amount of time to create.

-------------------
I've used the correct terminology here, I don't see the problem. Would you prefer if I'd said "CUTSCENES WERE LIKE SO BAD IN 2.0 DUDE, 1.0 4LYFE "
It's only my personal opinion /shrug.

In comparison to the cutscenes in 2.0, they were for the most part better designed in appearance and style (See above).


P.S. And yes, I read everything I write very carefully. I don't say it if I don't mean it.
