My grand idea of a huge battle between massive armies is mostly impossible if the engine can only handle 12 models animating on screen before the frame rate drops. That might mean working on combat, quests, cinematics, narrative, itemization, UX, enemies, levels/environments, or any of a number of other specialties.

Though we started with 2D animation, we’ve progressed by leaps and bounds. In fact, some of today’s games are so realistic that gameplay looks like cinematic sequences. They write and translate codes across operating systems to ensure the design is fully implemented and functional. The days of pixelated graphics are long gone.

Animation: Two perspectives, the separation of cloud and mud Lost Ark has a sincere visual performance, among which are various cutscenes from a top-down perspective. Re-animating the cutscenes into a top-down view, or even removing them if possible, would not detract from the game in terms of art quality and continuity.

Yet, it also allowed "Fury Road" to become one of the best sequels in cinematic history.
