Технологический прогресс в области CD-ROM носителей и декомпрессии в реальном времени позволил играм конца 1980-х и начала 1990-х годов использовать полнокадровое видео, в основном для кат-сцен. В попытке сделать игры более похожими на кинофильмы, эти кат-сцены вскоре вышли за рамки традиционной анимации или компьютерной графики и стали использовать традиционные методы создания игрового кино с участием реальных актеров, реквизита и декораций. Широко распространенный в 1990-х годах, этот стиль кинематографических сцен к середине 2000-х годов утратил популярность, за исключением нескольких заметных примеров, таких как игры серии Command & Conquer от Electronic Arts.
В эту группу входят игры, в которых элементы живой съемки используются только в статичных кат-сценах. Игры, в которых живая съемка применяется для интерактивного игрового процесса, относятся к жанру «Художественный стиль: Живая съемка».
Ограничения:
Видеоматериалы должны быть получены с использованием традиционных методов кинопроизводства, с помощью видео- или кинокамер, снимающих с обычной частотой кадров, например, 24, 25 или 30 кадров в секунду. Видеоматериалы также должны демонстрироваться в игре с аналогичной частотой кадров, характерной для кино. Таким образом, игры, в которых используются оцифрованные изображения актеров, которые впоследствии анимируются, не должны включаться (например, Mortal Kombat);
Игры должны содержать оригинальные видеоматериалы. Иногда игры, созданные по мотивам фильмов, содержат сцены из фильмов, на основе которых они были сняты. Такие игры не должны включаться, если только видеоматериалы, снятые во время съемок кинофильма, не предназначались специально для использования в играх (например, Enter the Matrix).
