    Cutscene Pause

    Concept »

    The ability to pause a story scene. This avoids missing plot points if you are interrupted or take a break, or let's you call someone to show off a game's FMV or real time animation.

    Short summary describing this concept.

    In the previous generations of gaming, pressing start during a cutscene would usually mean skipping it. But today pressing start usually pauses the cutscene giving you the option to skip it if you want. This feature has become increasingly important in today's games because of the lengh of said cutscenes like in Metal Gear Solid 4 where certain cutscenes can last up to 45 minutes.
