Pre-rendered using the game engine.... which also allows for background loading.

Excellent.... thats how they should be.

Can't wait.

So long as it doesn't go into excessive length of time, I don't see a problem with it.  Doesn't Metal Gear use pre-rendered scenes done with the in game engine also?

No, those are all real-time. Whatever Snake was wearing before a scene started, he would keep it. You can even move the controller while the scene is playing, and it will remove the camouflage (Octocamo). I think you can also zoom in and move the camera around a bit.
