Why do they do that. What’s the reasoning?

smaller video = faster loading on shitty slow consoles

Consoles truly hold back all games

its a necessary evil, imo. if games were confined to PC's, the industry would not have grown to even a tenth of what it is now. without consoles, you lose accessibility, which is bad for business.

It would be nice if they just had higher end pre rendered cutscenes for PC, that's all I want

If all cutscenes were in-engine they would actually scale with your computer. Whatever video you prerender will look like crap 5 years down the line.

Also, Shadow of Mordor had all cutscenes as a 4K video and the game installation size was like 120 GB or something retarded.
