I remember creating new saves every time I could while playing FFVII just to be able to watch endless times my favorite CGI cutscenes. How to forget Aeris's death scene, it marked me for a long time. Back then I said: "imagine if actual gameplay could look like this. Not a chance". Now games can look beyond what I could have ever imagined.
I like watching that CGI cutscene again because of pure nostalgia but it looks ugly by making a direct comparison with modern games. Current CGI's look amazing and I'm sure future Gaf could have this conversation again or look back to this thread and make jokes of it. Which CGI cutscenes blowed your mind and now they look meh compared to in-game graphics?
