it is yeah

all cutscenes in clock tower 3 are noteworthy because of how good they are, but this one from the very beginning always caught my attention.

the way the bed has physics integrated to it and how the sheets move (!), the really frantic piano solo out of nowhere, the character animation and camera work. wonderful

That cutscene is oozing a vibe of “we just got access to mocap for the first time and it’s the coolest thing ever”.

The enthusiastic, relatively purist focus on what you can do with the new technology reminds me of Mario 64 or Quake 1’s joy in exploring true 3d environments

EDIT:

Yeah! Everybody wanted to get involved in that mocap freshness

I remember thinking that the cloud blocks in Super Mario Bros were teeth, I thought you were stealing coins from the tooth fairy or something. I had to have somehow not seen Lakitu yet, which is partly why I still think about it.
