I'm with everyone else who's saying that the cutscene at the end of Act 3 is prerendered. Not sure about the other cutscenes, but that one really stood out in my mind. I'll take a closer look at the other cutscenes when I play through the game again. I mean a dead giveaway is the fact that you can't zoom in on the cutscene.
As for the mission briefings, I never took a close look. But it probably would be easier to display a pre-rendered video, and have just 1 rendering screen (the MK II/III), then have to have to render 2 different views. Or it could just be that the MK II isn't actually in the screen. Meaning that the model isn't there, and it's just an invisible viewpoint that the player can control. After all, you can't go into third person mode when using the MK II during the briefings, so there technically isn't any proof that the MK II is there. |
I considered that until I thought about the tentacle. It appears on the Mark II screen but not the other.

I actually forgot about that. But doesn't it show that the MK II is in stealth mode? So it would make sense to cut it out of the main briefing scene. Assuming that was their intention.
