Line 3:
In some action games, there are many different kinds of [[Mook]]s and you're often too absorbed into the action to notice you meet a certain type for the first time. So if the developers really want to make sure you notice them and don't forget them, what should they do? Well, make a special presentation for each one of them! Or at least a good part of them.
Thus, the unsuspecting player will often run in a seemingly desert area and be interrupted by a cutscene. [[Random Encounter|Cue a mook]] appearing stylishly from nowhere and maybe doing some threatening moves before the fight begins. The sequence is usually wordless but may feature a warcry of some sort. Naturally [[Elite Mook]]s tend to have a debut scene more often than minor mooks.
Will often overlap with [[Boss Subtitles]], but not always.
Line 44:
=== [[Role
* Happens in the ''[[Mass Effect]]'' series- the first time you meet geth, husks (both on Eden Prime) and Collectors are all during cutscenes.
* In ''[[Warcraft]]'' 3, several enemies are introduced in this way (of the "What the hell is that?" "Kill it first, we'll study it later" variety). Sometimes your own units are introduced by showing how they work (Crypt Fiends show up on the first level where the enemy has flying units, [[Notice This|their intro shows them webbing the flyers to the ground]]).
Line 53:
* Damn near every ''[[Resident Evil]]'' game has at least one:
** Zombies and Hunters are both introduced with a FMV cutscene when first encountered in the original.
** Following a creepy "Did I just see that?" glimpse of one outside a window, the first Licker you run into in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'' also gets its own FMV.
** Part 3 uses mostly in-game cutscenes to do this, such as your first encounter with the Brain Suckers and the return of the Hunters, who make their reappearance by decapitating a shambling zombie.
** ''Code: Veronica'' gives Zombies a gruesome FMV debut where they start crawling out of shallow graves and grabbing at Claire. Your first Bandersnatch gets both this and a [[Coup De Grace]] cutscene, and reappears as a [[Degraded Boss]] later.
