You're correct that all cut-scenes are real-time; however, they're not all in-game. Allow me to explain. Naughty Dog allows for seamless transition from cut-scene to gameplay, no black screen or transition. In such cases, what Naughty Dog would typically do is the following:
[note: below is in chronological order]
-Beginning of cut-scene
-Middle of cut-scene (the lighting, character models, LODs, etc. are of slightl...
What's interesting is that the writer compares Uncharted 4's single-player visuals to its multi-player visuals (and is surprised by the increase in quality). Is he aware that Uncharted 4's single-player always looked better than its multi-player as the former runs at 30fps while the latter runs at 60fps?
I don't know if I should post this as it may be better to experience it for the first time while playing, but here's a video of the hoverboard race: https://youtu.be/3N47T5ohi_...

Instead, I think it's likely they have an algorithm to convert the enemy to voxels (3D pixels) on the fly. I say voxels and not pixels because you can see said voxels littering the floor 53 seconds into this video ( 3374d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment
@Backlash93 For most third person games there is a balance between realistic looking movement and responsive movement.

In the Witcher 3, Geralt won't complete his turn as soon as you move the stick in a give...

Jeeze, man. What part about the argument, "It might be more profitable to release CoD4 as a standalone game later down the line," don't you get?
You don't know if Activision won't release a standalone later. You have no fucking clue. It's all guess work. Just as @mike32UK and I don't know Activision will. Our side of the argument is just ...
