Question

Game development

Hello!
I'm trying to understand game terms. I still can’t understand what is the difference between the cinematic and the cut scene?

Answer 1

These are terms from different planes.
Cut-scene - interrupts the gameplay, spins the plot without (or with minimal) player influence.
Cinematic - IMHO - a game video rendered NOT by a game engine - i.e. prerender.
Those. the cutscene can be cinematic. It may not be

Answer 2

"Cinematic" is the quality of the picture (video). A cutscene is either a scripted action or a pre-rendered video in the game, which can be "cinematic" quality.
In some sources, cut scenes that are pre-rendered are immediately called "cinematic".

Answer 3

The cinematic is a video, and the cut scene is a script with control lock.
