This is a perfect example of how cinematics and more horsepower is actually HURTING games in a way. The more graphics and horsepower is crammed into a game, the more time this takes to make it, and resources are shifted from the games mechanics and openended gameplay, and towards the technological aspects. If you think of a game with great graphics, chances are it's not very open ended. This is why I and many others prefer retro games for the most part. Back then there was not as much time and resources needed on the technological aspects like graphics, so there was more room to create, well, more "room."
