Ever since the Labyrinthine Cliffs, the pre-render cutscenes have been absolutely horrid quality!
Choppy, low resolution, just bad quality cutscenes, even the Rytlock cutscene in the HoT beta was this awful quality, pls give us the option (in options) to allow higher quality cutscene downloads.
The LA intro cutscene was the latest offender, pls stop

At 1080p it did not look as nice as the game itself.
I think the issue is that the video was encoded poorly or some parts were mistakenly cut up and encoded more than once lowering the quality. I also did notice some frame drops in the video, still it was a great opener even if it was not as smooth and crisp as it could be.
In no way should Arena Net stop, I say keep making these little videos, they are great. Though they should try to make them as beautiful as the game itself, any loss of quality in the video does the game a disservice.

you misunderstand, I don’t want them to stop making cutscenes, I just want them to give us an option to have better quality ones.
I tend to record these and upload them to youtube, or just watch them from NPCs in-game.
The quality is just awful, the Zephyr Sanctum one was a prime example, we have an item in game that we can use to preview this cutscene over and over, but the cutscene is garbage quality, stutters and is just a pre-recorded mess.
So far new cutscenes are following the trend. If you were in the HoT beta, you would have saw this as well with the Rytlock cutscene. Not only did the cutscene take place during the day (the demo mission was at night…wtf guys) but the quality was crap…i hope this isn’t their standard.

Obviously, but in my defence your last words were;
“The LA intro cutscene was the latest offender, pls stop”.
Clarification is key to understanding, perhaps you should explain better in future, no? After all your two statements contradict each other.

Not really, you simply misunderstood, the entire thread is about the quality of the cutscenes, both statements are referencing that, nothing more nothing less.
If I told someone to stop making blue cars, that wouldn’t mean “stop making cars” because the context is there.
