And what evidence do you have for that? It isn't something that Naughty Dog have done in the past and we have seen how good actual gameplay looks! I can't remember what ND do precisely with their cut scenes, but it is not pre-rendered, I think they just have better character models |
Most of Naughty Dog's cut scenes are pre-rendered using the game's engine. This allows them to push more effects, more polygons, better anti-aliasing, etc... while keeping a consistent look througout the entire game (unlike games like Final Fantasy). It also allows the console to load the next level while the pre-rendered cut-scene is playing. Making it seem like there's barely any loading at all.
Many developers do that.
