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.
如今的视频游戏比以往任何时候都更加精美。在上个月的游戏大奖上，我们看到了游戏的电影预告片，展示了令人惊叹的画面。其中一个是《星际：异端先知》，由《最后生还者》的创作者顽皮狗公司(Naughty Dog)制作，其机智的女主角被动画化得如此精细，以至于她通过面部表情传达的信息比对话还多。另一个是《巫师4》，这部受欢迎的奇幻系列的续集，对怪物六只狰狞手臂上的毛发和主角脸上火光的微妙变化都给予了同等的艺术关注。
