Cut scenes

[Jarrah White]

I've reached the trap level in the PS2 turtles game, and I have a question about the cut scene, is it footage from the secong season or is it new footage created purely for the game, the animation sure looks different. And what's with Hun's voice?

[Taloniss]

It was done purely for the game. It's a differnt voice actor for Hun, I guess the regular one was either busy, didn't want to do the game, or Konami didn't want to pay him.

[Jarrah White]

Yeah, I thought they were made for the game only, the animation looked some what different to me.

I guessed Hun had a different voice actor, sounds like a raptor. Are there any more of these original cut scenes?

[Taloniss]

Are there any more of these original cut scenes?


I don't remember. It's been a good while since I played the game since I sold it before X-mas. Why don't you play through the game and find out?

I'm trying, I can never quite defeat that bugger the Foot Gunner.

Foot Gunner, eh? Here's a hint: his backside is weak to attack.

Dodge behind him, hit, run away when he turns around, rinse, repeat.

From what I remember, there are original anmations for:

Turtlebot's level (Beggining and end)
Notes from the Underground (beginning and end - the story is slightly altered from the TV version)
The last dojo stage
Learning the Genbu attack (After beating the last Dojo stage with all 4 turtles)
Justice (Beginning)
and the "true" ending. (beating Oroku Saki)

Where there any I missed?

Any rips of these cutscenes into AVI form would be appreciated.

from what I saw, the stylization of the scenes suggested to me that they were done by a medium/low-budget Japanese studio (Something about how they were done screamed "Anime" to me), or a different Korean studio.

You are correct! Yes, it is Japanese animation. I love how they animated the sparring scene with Raphael and Michaelangelo! It looks so dynamic! Ah, yes, gotta love anime.

:anime:

Gotta love anime huh? Well, I don't know about that. I relalize there are a lot of anime fans out there, but I have always thought that japanese anime cut too many corners. It's just...easier to do anime.

I like what 4kids has done with the real TMNT toon, and it makes me far more appriciative when I see the scenes in the game. I'm not tryin' to knock anime, but I'm just sayin' that our good ol' animation is, well, better.

[Ryona]

I understand what you mean. Yes, the majority of anime do cut corners to make it easier to produce (Such as having a seen with the character being one cell while the mouth is the only thing that is animated!). The thing about anime is that they try to maintain the look and feel of the manga (kinda like you're watching an animated comic), so they will have things like dramatic freeze shots and such. I don't have a problem with American animation; infact I've noticed that in the past five years or so, American animation has become increasingly influenced by Japanese animation, so the American animation art these days are quite good!
...with the exeption of Walt Disney animated movies such as Cinderella, Aladdin and such others which have always been beautifully done!

*Just so you know, when I talk about anime, I mean the stuff that you can only see on video/dvd. These are the most beautiful works of anime.

(...with the exeption of a few anime on TV such as Inu Yasha).*

you can tell the new scenes and the ones from the show. The turtles have have different looks. like the ones from the game have like sharp outside teeth

That's a good point. I do enjoy that.

[PizzaPower]

yea that would be cool for people to put up clips for it.
