The Many Cinematic Missteps of Video Game Cutscenes

The video game cutscene has undergone a lot of transformations over the past couple of decades, and many games these days present elaborate, dazzling CGI sequences that are often billed as “Hollywood-caliber.” But the truth of the mater is that most cutscenes wouldn’t rate a straight-to-DVD release.
