Pausing Cutscenes In RE5

[Archelon]

Not really. That was the set number they HAD to send in(as every game developer does before they can release a game). The actual game will end up having a little more than 52 cutscenes/61 minutes.

I'm not referring to the ESRB listing.

In an interview (that was posted on this site, no less), the cutscene director Jim Sonzero specifically said there was about an hour of material. Plus, the recent review posted on computerandvideogames.com mentions that there's only an hour.

Hell, I think we've seen about 10 minutes of cutscene just from the trailers and such. I can't think of an RE with so few cutscenes. Unless they do a lot of in game revelation with talking mutant bosses explaing things I can't see how so little will work.

Well, I can, but it would suck.

No RE game even touches the one hour mark in terms of cutscenes (unless you count multiple scenarios).

That's not that bad. My favourite cutscene of the series (Alexia Vs Wesker) is only about two and a half minutes. When in practice, that amount of time per cutscene really isn't that bad.

thats like 1.17 sec a cutscene....lol

Only an hour. It's been confirmed by several sources, including the cutscene director, Jim Sonzero.

Mind you though an hour seems low I can't think Resident Evil 4 had 45 minutes of cutscenes, or CODE: Veronica either.

That was only in PS2/PC version (don't know about Wii one), because those didn't have real-time cut-scenes, so it wasn't a problem to do a video viewer.

The Wii version had it, too.

I really appreciate when video games have a feature like this, actually. It's nice to be able to view cutscenes whenever you want. I also like being able to pause cutscenes, but if RE5 doesn't feature this, I won't be too upset. I'm totally barricading myself in my room anyhow, so no one should rudely barge into my room right in the middle of an epic scene and make me cry (fffuuuu).

i still don't believe that's true, i mean we've already seen a whole lot of media, surely there's a LOT of things we haven't see, the time for ALL the cut-scenes added up can't just be one hour ..

They will probably do something similar to RE4 where upon completing the game you will be able to view all the cutscnes

And about RE5 having only one hour of cut-scenes - well, that sucks. Even RE4 with its lame story had more cut-scenes :/.

That's the worst news I've gotten in a while...

...ugh...I think I'm gonna be sick...

[Archelon]

I wonder how long the cutscenes will amount to in RE5?

They will probably do something similar to RE4 where upon completing the game you will be able to view all the cutscnes, still it would have been nice to pause cutscenes especially in your first play through were you need a wee lol and have to miss something.

[Alexia_Ashford]

Not as far as I know and I didn't see it at the event either.

[Vector]

Well, this would definitely be a nice feature to have. If the game is gonna be cutscene-heavy, which I really really hope it WILL be, then it would be nice to be able to pause cutscenes. After all, you can't press pause for your bladder.

MGS4 had it, but it was very necessary due to the ~8 hours of cutscenes throughout the game.
