They look very nice, I just have a problem with the realistic direction. I play games because they don't look realistic.

I was talking to my brother in law about it I'm a gamer for about 17 years he's a gamer for about...30 and we were discussing how people always see these sports games and say "Woah, in a couple years they'll look just like real life." We were unanimous in our statement that if it got to that point we'd rather just watch the sports than play the game.

Better graphics are great but when they make them too realistic they're lost on me in all honesty... I can go back an play Tetris to this day, I can go back and play Space invaders or Super Mario Bros. 3 I have a tough time doing the same thing with Playstation 1 games...I dunno is it just me?

As a side note their faces are a little weird to me, they look realistic but ridiculously fake at the same time..

I’m on the other side of the coin, I have a PS3 precisely because I want games to be realistic. It’s probably a desire to do things that I would probably never get the chance to do in real life, whether that be driving some vehicle of at ridiculous speeds, or blowing up tons of enemy soldiers in a hail of rapid fire rounds, or hacking some undead creature to death with a spoon. I want it to be as realistic as possible so I feel like I’m there. I guess I’m just a very visual person and the graphics and sounds give me that.  Games like COD4 and from the looks of the graphics, K2 really impress me, because I can imagine being that lead character, at least for a couple of hours in an evening, before going back to ‘normal’ life. I know graphics aren’t everything, but they are important for me, even to the point that I’m thinking of getting Uncharted simply because I am so impressed with the graphics, even though its not my usual type of game. Plus, there’s simply the joy in watching something as so well developed and as visually stunning as COD4, Uncharted, or K2, they are works of art, really spectacular.

p.s. this isn't a flame post, really honestly, it's not. please take it as my own opinion, nothing more.

i'm thinking about putting in a disclaimer at the bottom!
