In Game Cutscenes

When we were asked to find our favorite in-game cut scene the first one that came into my head was this one, a scene from upcoming game, Bioshock Infinite. The game focuses on your character, Booker DeWitt, as he tries to rescue female character, Elizabeth from her sky prison.

The three characters that we see in this cut scene are Booker (first person character cam), Elizabeth and her towering steam-punk guardian, Songbird. The reason why I love this scene is because as  Songbird is about to crush Booker into a fine dust, Elizabeth calls out to it, making its fist stop just before reaching Booker. It then attempts to hit him again but is once again stopped by Elizabeth who  grabs his hand and tells him to take her home and that she is sorry for leaving. I find it comical when she first apologies to songbird who in response turns his head away in a sulky manner, telling her off without saying anything. His portholes are also yellow at this point, showing that he doesn't believe what his female prisoner has to say for herself.

Even though Songbird is the main antagonist of this upcoming game he is by far my favorite character as he shows blatant emotions towards Elizabeth, an example of this is after she tells him to take her home and his eye portholes glow green again, showing that he is neutral and happy to fulfill her request and attempts to do no further harm to Booker.
The way that all 3 interact seems like somewhat of a love triangle to me, as Booker is supposed to build a close relationship with Elizabeth who loves Songbird but wants to be free to go where ever she wants. Songbird on the other hand behaves as somewhat of an abusive husband. Not letting his precious beautiful woman out of her tower and instead getting things for her rather than having her go get them herself , (in Songbirds case he brings books to Elizabeth).

It isn't only the short story we can build between these three that makes this my favorite in-game cut scene, the way that the scene flows makes it look smooth and beautiful, not sparing much detail on the features of Songbirds mechanical form nor the fairness of Elizabeth's face. I also love the sound engineering in this scene and adore the sounds that Songbird makes as he sounds like a clockwork sea creature, perhaps a whale or dolphin as they make high squeal and clicking noises when talking to each other.

I cannot wait to play Bioshock Infinite can see more of the in game cut scenes containing all three main characters as I'd love to see more of how they all interact.
