How many cutscenes are too much?

Hello forum,

I’ve been wandering around the web, but cannot seem to find anything on the size impact of cutscenes and media assets on the game.

I assume the size of each cutscene depends on it’s complexity, lenght and render settings. Is that size simply being added to the assets folder and what’s the performance cost of playing a video in-game?

Exactly 4385.

Jokes aside, you’re asking how long is a length of string.

If you use an in-game cutscene rather than rendering to a video and playing the video then you can save disc space. But it’s really up to you how long or how many cutscenes you want.
