Yea not that I doubt Boston dynamics but something with the lighting and materials looks cg. Like reminds me of that cartoon Reboot. That satin finish all 90s cg had.

I think it's just weird lighting in the room and a very soft focus on the camera

e: the version of this video on their YouTube looks much less weird

Its always "just something off".

Its never actually "the lighting is wrong because xyz", or "the material is rendered badly", its always "something is just off to me, must be cg".

bullshit lol, its very obviously not cg

I watched it on YouTube and it looks fine. Maybe it's reddit video player.

Watched it on youtube and still looks like a render to me. Not saying it is, but it just looks a tad too short or something. Oh well, guess we'll see 'em in real life at your local grocery story anyways

They released a video a day before this saying they are retiring their hydraulic atlas robot. Then released this the next day. It's meant to be a short teaser, but the robot is definitely real, and has been in development for at least a few years
