FREDRIK LOFBERG AND JONAS SKOOG OF GOODBYE KANSAS STUDIOS DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF GAME CINEMATICS
The use of CGI cutscenes or cinematics is a significant chapter in the history of video games. Whether used as a trailer for an upcoming release or to advance the story within the game itself, each new generation of gaming platforms brings CG artists an opportunity to push the boundaries of the artform. With the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and a whole new era for console gaming on the horizon, cinematics are also levelling up. After their breathtaking E3 trailer for CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 bagged itself a Webby award and clocked over 55 million views online, 3D World caught up with Goodbye Kansas Studios to discuss the project and get a glimpse into the next generation of game cinematics. Goodbye Kansas’ expert panel consists of director Fred Löfberg, lead character artist Jonas Skoog, and art director Mikael Widegren.
