Our brains are equipped to recognise faces extremely well. It's the most important social thing we do in terms of biology. Our brain can ignore or substitute other things that look fake, such as video game scenery, but we instantly react to faces which aren't right.

The only way around it (since brute force processing alone can never get a human face lifelike and detailed) is to scan in faces in 3D from real people.
