People will probably hate me for this but raw technical prowess matters more than ever!
No matter how good of an artsyle developers push, their games may end up been limited on a technical front ...
The preaching about artstyle aging better than realistic technical marvel is unfounded drivel or baloney. ALL gamers should go ask themselves what their most fondly remembered games are and some will be surprised enough to realize that a fair portion of them includes those types of games ...
When you like at the what the highest selling games are currently, most of them are the graphically intense games and NOT the ones trying to deviate from that ...
The statement of artstyle aging better than graphics is one of the biggest lies I ever heard ...

Art style and technical prowess are not mutually exclusive. In fact, most graphically advanced games worth talking about have good artistic direction. The reason art direction is more important is because without it, you have something generic. That's a stone cold fact. Look at those games you're referring to and you will see a carefully directed artistic style. Few games make it thatjust copy paste reality at the highest fidelity achievable.
