AAA Games That Have Shitty Low Res Cutscenes For Some God Forsaken Reason:

Yep. We can all tell they're coming when the audio suddenly drops to 22khz.

Honestly, it's not 2002 anymore. We have standard resoultions of 1920x1080 and things like that.

Why, honestly why, would you not put at least 720p quality in your cutscenes?

List items

• 

  1. Crysis 2

  This one is just almost ironic. Especially on the PC.

• 

  2. Deus Ex: Human Revolution

  Straight from Destructoid's Jimmy Sterling: "The PC version's biggest issue is that cutscenes are very badly compressed; otherwise it's a gorgeous game--"

  Sigh.

• 

  3. Alan Wake

  Alan Wake's PC version was a fantastic port.

  Except for the compressed .bik video cutscenes (that also boosted the volume to frightening levels, thanks Alice's scream!)

• 

  4. Crysis 3

  They've done it again, Jack.
