Eli5 why cant we create video game graphics as good as cinematics? shouldnt the texturing be the same as making video games?
In: Technology
Texturing is indeed the same in gameplay vs cut-scenes. However in the cutscene the developers can set everything up ahead of time, the camera angle, the background, the lighting shadows on the characters faces. The scene in the cutscene doesn’t need to be a fully realized environment in which characters can walk around and interact with things because it’s scripted.
In contrast, during actual gameplay, your hardware has to calculate everything as you go.
