Cutscene

A cutscene is a term used in pre-current-generation gaming to describe a pre-rendered movie within a video game.

Cutscenes are far less likely to be used on current-gen consoles as most systems use an NIS (a non-interactive sequence). An NIS differs from a cutscene in that it is rendered in real-time by the game engine.

Joe: "That ain't no cutscene!"
