Been a busy morning already dealing with hassle out of Japan. A small bug and lots of idiocy have lead to all sorts of annoyances. Anyway not going to let that bother me.
Something came to mind this morning, back when the original Playstation 2 came out. It was claimed it could achieve "Toy Story like graphics". A stupid claim really but it shows that people want to strive for visually striking games. I saw a video this morning of a game that has come out in Japan that is coming out here next year. The style they have gone for basically makes it look exactly like an older animated film. The effect is quite striking and the fact that it is all generated in real time rather than painstakingly frame by frame is quite impressive. It shows that as technology advances we don't have to lose the style or charm of older story telling methods, we can just create them much much faster and with less effort that before which can only lead to more of this style of thing being created. That can surely be mostly a good thing yes?
Anyway, follow this link to see the video and see for yourself.
