Phantasmagoria 1

FMV actors on top of a 3D rendered mansion looks insane. Its a hell of an aesthetic. The sequel ditches this for the conventional FMV approach (but it's better than the first one)

I swear, the actual mix of FMV and pre-renders makes it 10x creepier than any actual "horror" in the game

Depended on the game and when they played it, like Tekken 2 and Soul Edge came out only a year and and had far superior pre-rendered openings that still hold up today in direction at least, the person who said Final Fantasy VII is out of their damn mind because for the time that opening cutscene was amazing,

Idk, for me Tekken 2 portraits were a tad generic. The dude who did Tekken 1 portraits later did Bushido Blade characters. I wonder how later Tekken games would look with his designs because I like his expressive style. He was limited by the tech available at the time.

Mostly campy and shitty especially if you saw toy story and knew what 3D graphics were actually capable of. The first game I remember being impressed with was the pre rendered intro to Driver 2 which was pure kino. Kind of made the actual gameplay a huge disappointment by comparison though

Nice walkcycle. And they must have been proud of it, considering how many shots of the characters walking they used. It's silly as fuck, but soulful.
