I definitely prefer the cinematics using the game engine, but I can see how they would take a lot of resources. My problem with the animated storyboards is that they are too cheap. Some of the details are hard to make out, and I usually have to watch it several times to figure out what I'm looking at. I think we should at least get full color, but higher detail and more animation would be nice as well, something closer to the AniMatrix. Yes, that would be a little more expensive than the storyboards, but still much cheaper than using the game engine. If the game is to continue progressing the story through cinematics and critical missions, then I think a certain level of quality is required, and the current storyboards don't cut it.
