One of my big hopes for the new console generation was better animations, so hopefully this heralds something of a new direction in gaming overall. I feel like currently there’s a huge discrepancy between graphical fidelity and animation quality when it comes to a realistic art style and visuals. We have high resolution textures, physics based rendering and ray traced lighting, but animations still feel floaty and symbolic and not like they’re reacting to the environment around them. That, and more physics simulations.

I hate gaming patents so much. They never license anything, they just stop other developers from using features.
