Stylized Video Games

When Team Fortress 2 came out, everyone was surprised by the stylized aesthetic. It made it much easier to identify what class a player was, and what to do because of that.

I think this is the future of video games. As developers grow as artists and business people, they will realize the need for stylized video games. If VR takes off, stylized games are the future for that technology. 

Sure, realism is great. 

But would you like to actually tell the difference between characters? Would you like some creative design, and artistry in your developers?

Realism will still be around. I'm not saying that. But I am saying that stylized video games will increasingly grow more common.
