Have there been any efforts to recreate and replace FMVs with assets inside game engines? This would be for the purposes of ditching said FMV and replacing it with an in-game cutscene.
I am wondering about this because I still see many PC games (Saints Row and Darksiders) using FMVs at 720p resolution despite the fact that many people run games at higher resolutions. I know that FMVs are most likely hiding load times or are portraying scenes too intensive for graphics on consoles, but I don't see load times or graphics to be a problem on a PC. I just want my games to look sharp at all times, including during cutscenes.
