But, that leads into my next point: the relationship between graphics and gameplay. A 2d game can fake 3d, and a 3d game can have 2d gameplay (RTS), so that doesn't have too much impact, but proceduraly generated animations (aka. Crysis, Spore, Fable 2, Indiana Jones 2007) can have a huge impact on gameplay, and therefor, fun factor.
