Synopsis

Sound of cinematic pieces.

Relationships

 Narrative , Emotional Script .
Peers:
 Title Screens , Menus .

Description

In their typical form, Cutscenes are cinematic parts of the game inserted between moments of gameplay. They usually serve the Narrative, and have strong impact in the Emotional Script.

Being static pieces, they are prone to incorporate more closely techniques from film practice, including in terms of the approach to sound. Still, considering the pertinence in keeping the whole product coherent, for instance regarding the Acoustic Ecology, it is relevant that they are considered holistically, in conjunction with the other components of the game – that is, the acoustic composition heard during gameplay but also in the Menus and even in the Title Screens.

It is worth noticing that some modern games include interactive Cutscenes, which present new opportunities and challenges, closer to those of regular gameplay.

What is more, there is controversy regarding the appropriateness of Cutscenes in video games. Some designers defend they are disruptive and compromise immersion, for instance. [pending: Develop this further in "Additional Comments"].

Examples

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: A song that plays an important role in several Cutscenes.
Assassin's Creed: A Cutscene consisting mostly of Dialogue.
Silent Hill:
[show less examples...]
Ico:
Half-Life 2:
Demon's Souls:
Shadow of the Colossus:
Grand Theft Auto IV:
Heavy Rain:
The Binding of Isaac:
The Path:
Patapon:

Additional Comments

There is controversy on the appropriateness of Cutscenes in video games, e.g., as expressed by Steven Spielberg[1].
