Well nothing's simulated, it's essentially just an animated 3D model, right? Think about how complex scenes Blender can render in real-time.

It's pathfinding and AI that murder video game performance.

Some actors have simulations (e.g. Beedle's boat) but not too many right now. Compare to Super Mario Galaxy or the Source Engine games where there's even a bit of interactivity.

The most incredible example to me was pokemon snap! You could play a fun facsimile of the game
