As developers improved their in-game CGI, the use of FMV disappeared in the early 2000s. The technique was used as a form of video game narration and used pre-recorded video files to present the game's action instead of the typical sprites, vectors, or 3D models seen in the norm. Introduced in the 1980s, Full Motion Video scenes in video games were widespread, creating its unique genre. While giving players the nostalgia they've been craving, the developer however revealed that not all of the FMV cutscenes have been restored, as some CGI models could not be replaced due to the change of the game's plot.
