Some games have real time (God of War 3, Killzone 2) and some games have prerendered (Uncharted 2), the only difference is that UC2 is untouched, while Alan Wake is using higher poly models and after effects. |
I don't know about Killzone 2, but God of War 3 contains both in-game and prerendered.
Bruno Velazquez of Sony Santa Monica originally revealed that the game would not feature CG cutscenes, and has today responded to the question as to whether they would still play as pre-rendered videos:
"When I mentioned that GOW3 has no CG, I was referring to the fact that we do not have pre-renderd scenes that were created outside of the game engine, like GOW 1 and 2. In GOW3 all the cutscenes are created using our in-game engine, however some scenes were just to epic to run real time and thus are recorded videos."
