Anyone else REALLY miss 90s FMV games? I feel like the nostalgia wave just recently hit me for them.
I remember thinking they were the future of video games in the mid 90s, and then they just.. weren't.
There's just a charm to them now that can't be replicated, and they are so fun to go back to!

Hell yeah I miss these 🤣. I remember playing Star Trek Klingon Academy for the first time and the intro cinematic has Christopher Plummer in full makeup as General Chang and it’s GLORIOUS!

*miss*
I have played the other 3 though
The only one i remember that I really played that sort of had this was 7th guest. And while i did like the puzzles... the overacted fmv parts weren't super memorable to me.

I'd love a modern take on C&C, Wing Commander or Gabriel Knight that includes FMV with what you can do now.

I think a FMV format could work well with the walking simulator style of game as they are also quite linear with a unfolding narrative that doesn't deviate too much.
You boned us, Captain...
I sorta wish some of these games could get remasters. Just to make the video look...not necessarily clean...but less muddy on modern resolution screens. 😅
But yeah these games are the only thing I can really say is "so bad they're amazing", especially for the era!
Giant Bomb did a really funny series with this at the time too. Vinny had a blast with it

This one was incredibly fun and unique.

but honestly i think its cheaper to make 3D games than it is to go film video anymore, a weird reversal of the 90s
