I agree, I'm not a fan of long cut scenes either. I prefer to be playing the game instead. I like when the game itself and the actual gameplay looks cinematic, depending on the type of game of course.

I think the trailer for Foundation looks amazing, and I haven't seen a video game look like that. But what do I know, I used to watch Buck Rogers. Same with video games. I grew up playing Final Fantasy and Zelda on the NES.

My concerns regarding Foundation are more story-based. This looks to be more "inspired by the Foundation books" than an adaptation of the books themselves.

I'm not against CGI. CGI is commonplace in many or most movies today. I guess it comes down to how it is implemented in various movies/series. Some movies succeed at it while others fail in my opinion. I often like realistic looking CGI that's not really noticeable as being CGI. I guess that I'm not a fan of obvious cartoony looking CGI, which is why I'm not crazy about some superhero movies, where the CGI is not just backgrounds but main characters too sometimes.

The Foundation trailer looks pretty good and I didn't have any complaints about the CGI there, based on what I saw.

I used to watch Buck Rogers on tv back in the day also, when it originally aired.
