There's a thread about old 3D graphics, but what do you think of modern 3D cutscenes?
I personally find them atrocious, because no matter how wonderful everything is graphically, all characters have dead empty eyes! Just look at them, they've got no expression at all, like robotic dolls.
If you compare with animated 2D graphics, I'm not saying cartoons but at least with anime or even static pictures, you can see the difference. 2D shows so much emotion expressed in the eye that you can easily see emotions fluctuate in meticulous detail. But 3D eyes are empty, it's like visiting a doll theatre where puppets go through the physical motions and that's it. And I find it a bit creepy how 3D characters tend to stare at vague undefinable points with their dead unseeing eyes while interacting.
