It isn’t Pixar quality, but it sure is close. Here is the latest game/source-engine promo for Valve’s upcoming Team Fortress 2.

I’m sure the animation team at TF2 jumped at the chance to create this as I can’t imagine too many cutscenes featuring in a non-story based game such as Team Fortress, (but then why even bother with facial rigs at all? - I guess the jury’s still out there), but I’m sure you’ll agree he does look fantastic, and only serves to strengthen the fantastic look of the already Incredibles-esque character designs. More stylised games like this, and this industry will only be that more appealing to those artists and animators working in film.
