Even setting aside the fact that the product is just a disgustingly glorified corporate quarterly-numbers customer wallet milking machine masquerading as a game, I don't get why people think it's "gorgeous". I think it looks pretty generic and outdated actually.

Stepping back even further and for contrast, "Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3" had way better image fidelity, and it was from 1995! You could also use "Way of the Warrior" as a reference point.

In short, why does everything need to be polygonal these days? Can you imagine how realistic this latest entry would be if it had digitized sprites? It'd quite literally be photo-realistic!
