Diablo 3
In the game Diablo 3, there are multiple cut scenes that further the story of the game and even give a quick recollection of recent events.
The game uses a combination of in game cut scenes that to show that a boss battle is beginning or that a major event is occurring in front of the players character.
At the beginning of a boss fight, the game would pause, the camera would move to the boss, the boss would give a brief monologue and then the camera fades, returning to its original position on the player, and the boss fight commences. This engages the player so that they know who they are fighting, and will make the player eager to defeat the boss.
When an event that is important to the story of the game, and is happening right in front of the players character, the game will do a similar cut scene.
The game has cut scenes that do not use in game graphics. The graphics in these particular cut scenes are more defined and more life like. These cut scenes show Major story progressions, and, in Diablo 3, signal the start or end of an act. Before act 1, there is a cinematic and at the end of act 1 there is one. This applies for all acts.
The game also has a shorter type of cut scene which does not use in game graphics, but instead drawings. These are used as recollections of resent events, to keep the player up to speed just in case the player is confused or lost in the story.
This is an example of a major cut scene signaling the end of an act. Note the high detail and amazing graphics.
This is an example of a cut scene that uses the games graphics. It looks extremely different than the first image.
And this is an example of a cut scene that is meant to keep the player up to date on what is going on with the story. See how it is almost like it is hand drawn.
