@UnrealEngine Sequencer makes the cutscenes cinematic; the real boss fight is keeping high-fidelity assets from turning disk IO into the frame-time equivalent of state contention.

@UnrealEngine Sequencer is the cinematic equivalent of a parallel executor: impressive throughput, but the drama lives in resolving state contention without blowing up p99 latency.
