When I say graphics, I just mean the look of the game rather than anything else

Look at Heavy Rain, the characters are very lifelike there, and you really get the emotion of what they are saying. I was playing FF VII recently, and I just found it really off puting how they have no emotions when speaking, you can guess the tone, but you have less connection to the character

HD graphics don't lead to just linear games, if anything, there are more open world games this gen even if they might be slightly more expensive to produce


my problem with the lifelike graphics in a game like heavy rain is that they are FAR from being lifelike. and as someone wrote 1 or 2 pages back, the closer we try to resemble the real life, the more odd it becomes (to me, and many others... just read about the uncanny valley phenomenon).

this is a good article about it: http://www.slate.com/id/2102086

it is 6 years old, but it's still valid. and will propably be valid for a long, long LONG time to come... if not forever.
