The Switch version does have a number of upgrades over the PS3 one though; better textures, more foliage, improved water effects, it's not just the 2011 version. In most cases a high end realistic game will be more demanding than a cartoony game, just not all cases. Games like Luigi's Mansion 3 and TOTK may be stylized but they're still highly technically accomplished, at least by the standards of the hardware. |
Luigi's Mansion 3 is great example of stylized realism that mimics 3D animated films (I've started hearing about stylized realism with Toy Story 1, before that I knew such art style as illustrated realism) - that style can be equally demanding as photorealism, since, while geometry and textures don't try to be photorealistic, lighting and shadows are as demanding as photoreaslitic games, given that they are trying to replicate same physics of light.
