Why no video?

As the title says, why didn't they use video for the cutscenes like in JK?

 

Looks to me like tried to save some money, cuz, let's be honest, they aren't excactly top quality. Some of the ship scenes look ok, though, but they're no match for JK.

 

Yeah, yeah, I know. Cutscenes don't make a game, but they sure do enhance the atmosphere.

In my opinion, cutscenes rendered using the game engine add more to the atmosphere than those without, since the character(s) remain the same throughout both game and cutscenes. There are no "artists impressions" or other differences. It just is better.

 

For comparison, many of the Homeworld cutscenes were rendered using the game engine, and as a result can play out in the middle of a mission, without having to close anything down to say, run an avi.
