I picked up Crash Bandicoot 4 again and I'm amazed by how great the game looks. During cutscenes it literally looks like a 3D cartoon, and it's all* happening in-engine in real time!

*except some cutscenes are low bitrate video files, but they use the same assets as the real-time cutscenes and the animation is just as good in both

I don't really play that many newer cartoony games so this might not be that novel an observation but I can't help but go soypoint-2 at the game

I just think this is a way more impressive use of modern graphics technology than a hyper-realistic Keanu Reeves modeled right down to his nose hairs

Hell yeah, a good coherent and stylish art direction > realism any day.
