Video games today are more beautiful than they have ever been. At last month’s Game Awards, we saw cinematic trailers for games boasting stunning graphics. One was Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, from The Last of Us creators Naughty Dog, whose wry heroine was animated with such fine detail that she communicated more through facial expressions than dialogue. Another was The Witcher 4, sequel to the popular fantasy series, where equal artistic attention was lavished upon the fur of a monster’s six hideous arms as on the delicate play of firelight across the protagonist’s face.
如今的視頻游戲比以往任何時候都更加精美。在上個月的游戲大獎上,我們看到了游戲的電影預告片,展示了令人驚嘆的畫面。其中一個是《星際:異端先知》,由《最后生還者》的創(chuàng)作者頑皮狗公司(Naughty Dog)制作,其機智的女主角被動畫化得如此精細,以至于她通過面部表情傳達的信息比對話還多。另一個是《巫師4》,這部受歡迎的奇幻系列的續(xù)集,對怪物六只猙獰手臂上的毛發(fā)和主角臉上火光的微妙變化都給予了同等的藝術(shù)關(guān)注。
