Alan Wake cinematics are all pre-rendered video files

I've always wondered why anyone cares whether cinematics are pre-rendered or not. As long as the in game graphics are still good what is the problem with pre-rendered cut scenes looking even better?

Well this is the HD generation, people bought these systems to see the GPU's spew out insane visuals, not play back videos of what the game could have looked like on Development Kits. If you're going to do your cutscenes as video, at least do them properly and make them on a Halo Wars/FFXIII level.

It's also a problem when people start claiming those videos are real-time or use the "in game engine" when the truth is the only time they could have ever been in game is on a piece of hardware that will never be sold at retail.

Also a big issue is when people cherry pick it's relevance to specific games, but not others when it suits them. I don't care which they chose, but at least be consistant across games. If you're going to say AW got pre-rendered cut-scenes that's fine, but it has to apply to Uncharted 2 as well and vice versa if you consider them real-time.

Uh no, it's on topic. I'm just pointing out that other users seem to think it's ok to use video playbackas evidence of real-time visuals.

I just had a question about your sig/heavy rain,,,,you do know that those two are 2 different characters and both are there on the game disk???one is in the game ,,,one is in the audition part of the game.

Yes, the ugly one is the real-time rendition and the prettier one is the video of the tech demo when the game used to be multiplatform.

Of course they arent possible in real time... just like some of the Uncharted 2 ones aren't and just like none of the FFXIII are possible... why does it suddenly matter now?..... just because its a 360 game?

Exactly.

 

by Off topic i meant my question was off topic.

 

no they are not the same people,,,they are BOTH on the game disk,,,one is  a hooker and one is auditioning to get a part in the game.they both have about the same details in their faces.your picture is not true at all,,,,it's good just for trolling purposes which serves your interest right ;)
