Wait... you're saying that their cutscenes were prerendered before? I had no idea.

Yes. Some were and some werent. 

OT: I wouldn't be surprised if this were true just because 1) in-game visuals are excellent now. No real need for pre-rendered ones. There hasn't been a need for them in some time now but i'm glad more devs are finally acknowledging this. 2)  Disc space/file size is probably a major barrier these days. This helps.

Sure visuals look great now, but wouldn't it be cool to get a glimpse of ps7 graphics during cutscenes, like it used to be. Cutscenes that blow you away with fast cuts, tons of action, fully ray traced scenes, downsampled from 8K render, instead of limited by what the ps4 can currently handle. Cutscenes you look forward too seeing and rewatch in the extras. That kind of excitement is completely gone nowadays.

File size is indeed the problem, stupid decision not to leave videos on the disc and run them from there. Digital is the future and it killed the extravagant cutscene. Hopefully it will still have making of extras.
