I dont think people understand what will happen once we do achieve that photo realism in games. Kids now can still play M games and get away with because it still looks fake as hell. When games do reach that point it can be pretty traumatizing I think. Im not here to say "think of the children" but that can certainly be a backlash for the video game industry.
Honestly Ive never cared too much. High end last gen games look great and I can live with them. All I want is smoother animations. I also prefer stylized graphics over realism. After all games are fake and I dont really wanna be reminded of real life when I play them. Okami/MadWorld/Valkyria Chronicles all beautiful sylized games that do not need photo realisim.
Twilight Princess/Mirror's Edge are two games that use lifelike character models but are unique in their style and they look great. They dony look photo realistic but they also dont look cheap.
Style>>>>>Photo-realism
