You are correct. The former are all beautiful pre-rendered 2-d based cinematics, done by another company, the same company that made all of the even-more amazing Thief 1&2 cinematics. Now, if I could only remember their name...
The latter are game-engine-rendered "action" shots. My mind just glossed over them, as they in no way could compare to the 2-d artwork... I am willing to bet that they were done by ISA.
This is bringing me back the nostalgia of old mission briefings being just the camera, slowly spiraling out from black&white concept art, with Garret's ever-cynical voiceovers. And I wouldn't trade the world for them.
