Almost every modern video game with expected high end visuals, starts out with as a pre rendered movie that is the target they think they can achieve. It was probably not made in real time with the engine.
Halo did it, and it never looked as good.
Motor Storm did it, and it never looked as good.
Motor Storm 2 (or whatever it’s called) did it, and we will see how good it looked in the end
I am sure all the FF stuff we have seen have been pre-renders as well.
It’s just part of the marketing engine used today in the video game industry.
