I used to love the credits at the end of old video games - they were half the motivation to get to the end of the game. Some of them had surprisingly good, almost cinematic music - I can still remember the credits music from the end of Sega Master System's "Ys The Vanished Omens" like it was yesterday.
Q for players of modern video games: do they still have great ending credits scenes like that?
- danaliv 6y agoOh, I loved Ys. Ys III on Genesis was one of my favorite games from that era. I only play a select few contemporary video games, so my sample is somewhat limited, but none of them have had the sort of credits scenes that we enjoyed in the '80s and '90s. Nowadays it's just another cutscene like all the others sprinkled throughout the game. In fact, when I finished the main quest line in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, I wasn't even sure I was done! This might be particular to open world games though, which don't really have an end, per se; you just sort of run out of things to do.
- ergot_vacation 6y agoNot even a cutscene in a lot of cases: just the standard text on black background like you'd see in a movie (though some of them will do the movie thing and have little "hidden" scenes cut into the credits at points).
