I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with Capcom being lazy as there's a Tekken video that looks on the same level for the exact same thing. Though i do with for them to make their own games cinematics the same, it's hard to believe you could blame Capcom when...

Yes, but Tekken IN GAME video are also of the same excellent quality. With Capcom, their IN GAME footage (in Umbrella Chronicles) was very poorly done.  

[DeFehrenheit]

But the RE series always had their InGame footage the same as their cinematics after REmake...  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Umm... After the REmake, their cinematic footage was really high quality, like the intro, same with RE0, like the intro and all the scenes with Wesker.

In Umbrella Chronicles, all the cinematics are made using low polygon models, the same ones they use during the gameplay. They're pre-rendered, and have anti-aliasing, but aside from that, they aren't anymore detailed than their in-game 3D models.

Here's what I mean. These are poor examples of screenshots, but you should know which scenes I'm talking about from them:

FMV quality:


In-Game quality:



If you play the game, the 3D models in the intro, along with the backgrounds and everything, is a much higher quality than in-game graphics.

Now, in Umbrella Chronicles:

FMV quality:


In-Game quality:



If you play the game, you'll notice that the FMV footage is pretty much the same quality as the in-game footage, only with some anti-aliasing.

Which is a waste of FMV footage. If it's gonna be the same as the in-game footage, then Capcom should've done the cut scenes in real time. But they were too lazy to do that either, because that would mean that the programmers have to make sure the voice overs play at the right time.
Lazy.  

[DeFehrenheit]

If I remember right, the only main game to use graphics different from the in game shots after Resident Evil Code Veronica were Resident Evil 0 during it's cut scenes. REmake and Resident Evil 4 along with Umbrella Chronicles all used scenes that looked the same as when you're playing.

I can't find pictures. Google loves RE4 too much and I'm lazy.

>.>  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Nope, Remake's intro and ending had better quality graphics.



See how Jill's hair actually moves? Which you'll notice it doesn't do in the game itself.

And with RE4 (at least the GameCube and Wii versions) the cinematics were done in real time, which is why when you have a bonus costume on, you can actually SEE it on the person during the cinematics.  

[DeFehrenheit]

Obviously it's time for me to pick up my Gamecube/Wii again...  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

I'm sure your Remake misses you a lot.


My point is, in Umbrella Chronicles, the FMV quality was the same as the in-game quality.
Actually, if you look at the intro to the Mansion Incident scenario, I find the guns look WORSE in the FMV than they do in-game. The guns in the FMV actually look like they were remodeled to be high polygon quality, but were TERRIBLY textured:



Compared to in-game:

I'm diggin' all the screen shots in this thread wink

I am trying my best to keep my opinions on this whole thing to myself.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Why's that? We kinda WANT people's opinions.  

[REaceofclubs]

There's lot's of swearing involved. I'm trying not to swear anymore.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, a good way to stop swearing is not to not say anything, but to control our language.
Or replace words with other funny words.
For example: "Give me the keys, you fuzzy sock sucker!"  

[REaceofclubs]

oh my fluffy god. What in the Mississippi River is this poop?! Why can't those lazy a**s beast-ards at Capcom do something that isn't so frilling stupid? I just want a NORMAL horror game.... crying  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Okay... Don't know what Mississippi River replaced, but alrighty! XD

Yes, well, if you want a normal horror game, Resident Evil is no longer the franchise to look.  

[REaceofclubs]

Mississippi River= Hell.
They're both very similar to one another actually. Hot, humid, and dreadfully uncomfortable.
