Nope, like I said, play the game and change Drake's shirt and you will see exactly which ones are pre-recorded.  It's generally the ones that occur when changing major areas because you have to load all that stuff in at some point.  I assume Uncharted 2 is the same way, I just haven't played through it with a different costume so I don't know which ones those are (though you can generally tell).

As for Ghostbusters, it was a mix of all three, though I forget which ones were which.  All three have their pro's and con's

  • In-game: absolutely in-game so it's the cheapest and easiest to change, but you also have physics, AI, effects, and everything else running.  In a lot of cases the player has control of the camera so I have to take all that into account.
  • In-engine: I have complete control over everything so that means AI isn't processing if I don't need it, and the camera can't see it, it isn't on.  Also, easy to change since it's all in-house and just involves changing that scene and then pressing record.  It takes time but it isn't something that's all too expensive when compared to other things.
  • Pre-rendered: the best looking but also the most expensive since I believe this is generally don't off site.  Also, if you ever have to change *anything* you either just have to live with whatever the mistake is or have to completely redo it which is incredibly expensive.

That is interesting, I thought all of you guy's stuff was generated at least in-engine real time. 

I don't believe there are many of them, if you have the PC version you can see which ones are which but I've already forgotten which ones they are.  >_>
