I honestly think a lot of the modern games (especially triple A), kinda miss the point. The gameplay just isn't there. A lot of the better indies are filling the gap though.
I recently played the original PS1 version of Resident Evil 2. There is something about the game that the original missed. There was a bleakness throughout it that is kind of missed in the remake (the remake btw was very good).
Also the CGI cutscenes on the games felt like a real treat at the time and they are not that long, just long enough to get the point across.
RE2's intro is like a few minutes long, sets up the scenario and you are playing the game.

The Ridge Racer 4 intro still holds up. I was gobsmacked at the time when I first saw this. It still looks pretty good despite the low resolution.
