Eh, I guess it is. But it also isn’t. We have stagnated a bit in the rasterization and VRAM departments when you talk about affordable entry level cards that most people buy.
And the PlayStation 5 has not changed since it launched…
Right, I’ve seen the footage too, and I don’t think I’d recognize it as a Borderlands game if the name wasn’t included in the ads. I’m struggling to understand why they chose to go that route, rather than sticking to the beloved, iconic, performant art style of the other games in the series.

You shouldn’t need leaps in hardware to render a highly stylized cell shaded video game in the year 2025.

Yeah, but it’s not just a toon shader/cel shaded shader.
I’ve seen footage, this game has full PBR and all sorts of fancy lighting. Etc. Reducing it all to “cell shading” isn’t the whole story.
