Pre-rendered backgrounds are actually making somewhat of a comeback these days, spanning all types of game budgets, from Project Phoenix to The Black Tower and especially Obsidian doing some really interesting techniques with the upcomingPillars of Eternity. Square Enix already uses them for Chaos Rings on Vita/Mobile and the Bravely games on 3DS, so I have to think this will be a little more involved, being on PS4. Which would be awesome, since having an army of artists tackling pre-rendered backgrounds allows you to spend more time thinking about everything else in the game, which is basically how Final Fantasy VII came out the way it did.
