    What is/are IYO (in your opinion) the very best Video/PC Game Cinematic Clip/Trailer/Movie (s), you've ever seen in your lifetime?

    IMO, well, allrite, stupid question -> it's the sum of all MW Game Intros.. OF Course!













    Ok, besides of that, definitely these ones:

    (the game itself was a great predecessor of the popular Borderlands Games, but it lacked content... maybe the makers lacked ressources... Too bad! Could have been sooo epic. Just like MWO)

    Man, I wouldn't even know where to start... Warhammer: Mark of Chaos trailer comes to mind, but really there are just too many great trailers and cinematics in gaming to even reduce it to a handful...

    I could literally stare in aw for the entirety of a top 100 game trailers and cinematics video...

    Shit, that's what I'm doing now trying to decide....

    I don't think it's possible

    One of my definite favorites is Mass Effect 3... specifically the one where the united fleets jump in to engage the Reapers near Earth. Always sends a shiver down my spine.

    Well, as best intro, it is easy:


    ###
    The next one is not actually a trailer, but it is the best event I have ever played on a videogame.

    In short words, an event called "Battle for Caldari Prime" started the interaction between Dust 514 (PS3) and EVE online (PC). While the mercenaries on console were battling on the the planet surface, since that event (and the associated patch/expansion for the game) there could be PC players fighting in the skies so that they could drop orbital strikes for their comrades on the ground. Only for that event, you could see in every map the crashed Leviathan from the next trailer on the background, plus some pieces of that massive ship scattered around the map and usable as cover.



    The main issue with orbitals in EVE is that they were boring to do. Like one of my team mates said, it's like fishing: you move upon the planet's district, "join" the game and wait for the orbital request (which can be done once every 10-15 minutes) and then wait again.

    Combine the boredom with the fact that most of the PC gamers in EVE had little to no interest with Dust interactions and you can understand why of all the Orbital Bombardments I did, only once there was an interesting fight... Which is the following and is not that "good" if you never played the game.

    Anyway, I think MWO needs something like this: a short video half tutorial and half intro. This was played after logging in for the first time.


    Too bad Dust 514 was closed and died last year for multiple reasons, mainly the PS3 was dying, it was far from being noob-friendly AND it was buggy / laggy most of the times... The WORST for any FPS game. But I still love the idea of being a mercenary and I had to pay for my equipment everytime I died... Kind of "with great expensive equipment come great responsibilities and bills to pay. Especially if you die with an OP dropsuit with crazy stats, you jelly blueblerry" (blueberries was the nickname for players who were on your team but not on your squad, what we would call puggers).

    Last but not the least, the last EVE trailer I saw when I was still playing it.

    Blizzard has done great cinematics for a long time. This is one of my favorites

    You are right. Especially the SC2 Cinematics are very Epic. I'm still playing Legacy of the Void, but what i've seen so far is extremely impressive
