Would it be possible to add pre-rendered cutscenes to Blitz 3D games? I was just wondering, because I could make some pretty good ones if given the opportunity.

Yes, it's possible. I don't think taking control away from the player would be a nice addition to the game, though.

Neat. Though I was thinking of an intro cutscene.

Calm down, bots have feelings too.

When SyphenTV isn't telling gonzo to fuck off he's telling bots to fuck off.

Either way, I think that pre rendered cutscenes would take out some immersion.

I agree with the fact that cutscenes take control away, but if you use it in a certain way, you can give attention to things you need to (Sorry about the wording, its hard to describe)

Like for example, you can be given an option to look into security monitors to fill the screen.
Give a cinematic view of the 106 victim that falls from the ceiling.
Have a cinematic intro to Gate A and Gate B

These are just ideas though...

Please do quote bot posts; it makes them harder to deal with.

Agreed. I got the "prerendered cutscenes" idea after watching the cutscenes from Halo 2 Anniversary (which also has pre-rendered cutscenes).

A think if a telekinetic SCP was added this idea could fit that, because then control is taken away from the player for a reason.
A similar idea could be the player getting trapped, although I don't know how you would pull that off.
