It’s fair to say the days of cutscenes wowing us are at an end. Games just look too good in real time these days for anything to seem so wildly implausible as CGI sequences from previous generations did at the time.
With hundreds of games, some of which are considered to be classics that hold up to this day, you’ve got the pick of the litter when it comes to choosing a potential remake
^This. THIS!
Stop remaking PS4 games!
Remake PS1 and PS2 games à la FF7R, RE1, Mafia, Half Life style ....
Make Legend of Dragoon, Legacy of Kain etc Remakes happen
and Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. They did Star Ocean 1 & 2 R already, VPL should get the same treatment.
I'd be down for FF8, and Xenogears. But I would also be down for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. And I wish Namco would get off their ass and remake or remaster the Xenosaga trilogy.

Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way. Why?
i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)
I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
A new mod brings the highly nostalgic fixed angles to the Resident Evil 2 remake, bringing the game closer to the original 1998 experience.
Transitioning from the Genesis/SNES era to the a PlayStation/N64 era was pretty incredible. While the N64 retained the cartridge format and didn't do prerenderd cutscenes, going from Super Mario World/MarioRPG to Mario 64 blew my mind! PlayStation going with CD's was a smart move IMO and at the time the cutscenes were pretty incredible but I did yearn for s time when in game graphics matched or surpassed them and that time is now.
Games like Uncharted 4, HZD, TLOU Remastered,GOW and Spider-Man really shine to me! GOW in particular looks incredible whether it's gameplay or cinemas. From the looks of it Ghosts of Tsushima, Death Stranding and TLOU2 will have killer ones as well.
Kingdom Hearts 3, FF15, and Halo 5(Really everything from Blur does that tbh) have cutscenes that still wow me.
You mentioned Anthem but not Jump Force?
I remember watching FMV's on the PS1 with certain games and saying shit this looks good for the time. FF8 changed FMV and it was great and is still great for the time. I wish Square would bring FF8 out to PS4. I like in game cinematics they explain parts of the story and draw a person in but there are some games that have too many cinematics and make the game feel more like a movie and all I want to do is play the game.
