The developers of a game put a lot of work into making that Scenery Porn, so they're going to want to make it stand out. Enter the Video Game Vista, a singular moment when the player is allowed to see the splendor laid out before them, typically from a cliff or other great height. This is usually preceded by the crossing of a threshold or scaling of a mountain of some kind to really make the eye-poppiness of the scenery stand out by contrasting it with an enclosed space. The primary reason for doing this is the implication that the player can and will go to most of the places they can see at that moment, which not only gives the player a greater understanding of their impending journey but also heightens the illusion that the game is larger than it is and really feels like an all-encompassing world, especially if the game is more linear in its design. This is especially common in open world games, since they have a tendency towards large open spaces to begin with. It will typically come immediately after completing the tutorial or starting area and may feature a striking shot of several important landmarks to give the player a good idea of where to go first. Compare Crow's Nest Cartography, which is more of a mechanic that allows the player to see points of interest, but still may involve showing off the game's world from high up. May involve a Scene of Wonder if the character reacts to a spectacular view. Contrast Scenic-Tour Level, which is when a more linear game takes you through a more scenic level either to show off the visuals of the game in question and/or give you a taste of the environment. Has nothing to do with Windows Vista. |

Vistas are downright a collectable in Guild Wars 2. Reaching specific points in the map (usually requiring some platforming to reach) causes a cutscene to play out that zooms out and shows around the surrounding area, usually a particular point of interest. Getting all the Vistas is necessary to 100% complete a zone. | |

ULTRAKILL: 2-1 features a long, enclosed corridor and upward shaft that V1 fights its way through before arriving on a huge platform overlooking the layer of Lust, with the Corpse of King Minos looming in the distance. It's accomplished with Retraux PlayStation-style graphics, so there's not much to see visually, but the depth and scale of what the player is seeing accomplishes the same effect. | |

In Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-, to get trophy nr. 24, the player has to reach the uppermost spot of Castle Town (a part of Cinderella's world). Upon reaching it, the camera pans out to show an aerial view of the town, then pans in to focus on the castle, as seen here (around 08:40 mark). | |

Horizon Forbidden West: After her escapade at the Far Zenith spaceport trying to find a GAIA kernel, Aloy takes the huge Oseram elevator down into the Daunt, a narrow but beautiful and secluded valley that represents the very edge of Carja territory. The player can likely see all the way to Barren Light at the border of the Utaru territory from that high above, and the elevator ride's conclusion represents the first time they are truly cut loose and are free to explore the world. | |

Half-Life: The Surface Tension chapter has you crawl out of a pipe and onto a sheer cliff face of a desert canyon, which is the most expansive bit of scenery you'll see until you hit Xen. With every remake the beauty of the vista only grew in scope and detail. Black Mesa properly gave this treatment to the first glimpse of Xen as well. | |

Elden Ring has plenty of opportunities to showcase its glorious environments: The first that most players will see is the expanse of Limgrave laid out before them the moment they finish the tutorial dungeon, inviting them to begin their journey in the large world of the Lands Between. If you've defeated Godrick or found a route around Stormveil Castle, the next Grace you find is positioned by a cliff overlooking Liurnia of the Lakes, giving the player a view that extends towards Raya Lucaria Academy, Mt. Gelmir, and even Leyndell the Royal Capital. The closest Grace in Caelid (not counting any teleporter traps) is located next to a cliff that overlooks most of the barren wasteland and the giant lake of Scarlet Rot in the center of the region. Once you set foot into Leyndell and embark on its battlements, you are treated to a glorious view of the capital city and the petrified corpse of the dragon that has breached its walls. |

Skyrim features two: First, after escaping from Helgen's tunnels, the player-character will have the eastern half of the Falkreath Hold arrayed before them, with sights like Lake Ilinalta, Bleak Falls Barrow and its mountain, and the valley between the barrow and the Throat Of The World directly in your line of sight to give the player a taste of the scope of the game. Second, if the player-character is following the game's main story after escaping Helgen, they will head to Riverwood and be asked to head down to Whiterun to inform Jarl Balgruuf of Helgen's destruction and that it was a dragon that did it. Following the path north out of Riverwood will eventually take the player to the edge of a ridge that overlooks Whiterun Hold, a massive plain with mountains in the distance and the hill on which the city of Whiterun itself is built, revealing the true scope of the game's world. |

The Legend of Zelda: In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, when Link first enters Hyrule field, we get a panning shot of the whole thing. Most new areas get a similar establishing shot, but this first one serves a narrative purpose, as Link grew up confined to Kokiri Forest, and this is a whole new world to him. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a sweeping shot of the Great Plateau occurs when Link leaves the Shrine of Resurrection. Since Link has amnesia, this is again a whole new world to him. |

Sniper Elite: Sniper Elite 4: Upon reaching the clock tower ruins in the "San Celini Island" mission, Karl, and by extension, the player, is given an excellent view of the rest of the beautiful island, which of course shows most of the targets and objectives of the rest of the map, and also establishes how much bigger the maps in this game are compared to its predecessor. Sniper Elite 5: The opening section of "Spy Academy" showcases just how massive and beautiful the island of Beaumont-Saint Denis is, which in this case covers 3/4th of the map. |

The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind: At the start of the game, the Player Character arrives on a boat and, after a short Forced Tutorial, steps outside for the first time. The first view is of the coastal village First Town set in one of the greener areas of the island. Additionally, letting you know that this isn't going to be a run-of-the-mill Medieval European Fantasy like the previous two games, is the Silt Strider against the far bank of the river. Finally, the orchestral swell of the main theme is timed to hit as soon as you step outside adding to the "epic" feel. Skyrim features two: First, after escaping from Helgen's tunnels, the player-character will have the eastern half of the Falkreath Hold arrayed before them, with sights like Lake Ilinalta, Bleak Falls Barrow and its mountain, and the valley between the barrow and the Throat Of The World directly in your line of sight to give the player a taste of the scope of the game. Second, if the player-character is following the game's main story after escaping Helgen, they will head to Riverwood and be asked to head down to Whiterun to inform Jarl Balgruuf of Helgen's destruction and that it was a dragon that did it. Following the path north out of Riverwood will eventually take the player to the edge of a ridge that overlooks Whiterun Hold, a massive plain with mountains in the distance and the hill on which the city of Whiterun itself is built, revealing the true scope of the game's world. The massive Game Mod project, Beyond Skyrim, features one in its Bruma pre-release. As the player character crosses the border to Cyrodiil at Pale Pass, and makes their way down from the Jerall Mountains, the player is treated to the sight of the lush and green Nibenay Valley stretching out in the lowlands before you, with Lake Rumare and the Imperial City at its center, and the red mountains marking the border to Elsweyr being just barely visible in the far distance, hinting at the scope the Beyond Skyrim project will have once it's done. |

God of War: God of War has a Scenery Gorn example: after making his way through Athens, Kratos emerges from a tunnel through a cliff face, where he can see down into a huge valley where a ferocious battle is raging as a gigantic Ares towers overhead. God of War III features the entrance to Tartarus, a seemingly-endless volcanic plain that reaches out into the distance. Kratos doesn't stay long, though, mostly because of Tartarus' most dangerous occupant, Cronos, trying to kill him. God of War Ragnarök: There is a ridge in Vanaheim that showcases a beautiful view out over the jungle. The first time Kratos steps out over it the Celestial Wolves soar overhead and turn the night to day. Also worth noting is the mountain that holds Faye's shrine at the end of the game where Kratos and Freya join forces that looms over the whole Lake of Nine. |

In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, when Link first enters Hyrule field, we get a panning shot of the whole thing. Most new areas get a similar establishing shot, but this first one serves a narrative purpose, as Link grew up confined to Kokiri Forest, and this is a whole new world to him. | |

Unreal features scenic vistas designed to boast the graphical capabilities of the Unreal Engine: "NyLeve's Falls" has Prisoner 849 exiting from the ship to a large, vast wilderness with some rabbits and flies and huts. And corpses. Just outside of the Vortex Rikers, there's also the crash site, in a cliff that allows you to see the ginormous lower levels and the big lake. "The Sunspire": Just entering the level, you witness the eponymous mountain, housing the central area, surrounded by a thin ledge with a bridge acting as the entrance. "Nali Castle": As if the intro of the game wasn't enough, just exiting from the cave nets you a long view of the eponymous castle. |

Morrowind: At the start of the game, the Player Character arrives on a boat and, after a short Forced Tutorial, steps outside for the first time. The first view is of the coastal village First Town set in one of the greener areas of the island. Additionally, letting you know that this isn't going to be a run-of-the-mill Medieval European Fantasy like the previous two games, is the Silt Strider against the far bank of the river. Finally, the orchestral swell of the main theme is timed to hit as soon as you step outside adding to the "epic" feel. | |

Sniper Elite 4: Upon reaching the clock tower ruins in the "San Celini Island" mission, Karl, and by extension, the player, is given an excellent view of the rest of the beautiful island, which of course shows most of the targets and objectives of the rest of the map, and also establishes how much bigger the maps in this game are compared to its predecessor. | |

God of War III features the entrance to Tartarus, a seemingly-endless volcanic plain that reaches out into the distance. Kratos doesn't stay long, though, mostly because of Tartarus' most dangerous occupant, Cronos, trying to kill him. | |

Hades features one such location on every level; in the very first room of each floor, there is a cliff that Zagreus can stare out over to look down into that level of the underworld, and a final one after beating his father Hades where he can look down into snow-covered Greece. | |

Spec Ops: The Line: Chapter 5-The Edge is the first moment that lets Walker — and by extension the player — suddenly feel the verticality and scope of the city of Dubai, as the player realizes how high up they are after walking out onto the edge of the skyscraper they just battled through. | |
