This is the cutscene I gave you as an example:

I can't see the dog kicking puzzle in this clip though lol.

Okay, so Kratos is rendered in real time even in cut-scenes. But he still doesn't look just as good as that dragon in the UE3 demo from 2004 in my opinion. It's pretty close though.

Also the lighting in the UE3 demo is superb. Look how realistically the light projects on that Gears of war grunt at around 4:15 in the video and how it's casting proper soft shadows.

And the physics are great too.

About Uncharted 2, it has superb textures that are indeed at the level of the demo, but there isn't any scene with buildings in the game that is as impressive and detailed as the opening of the UE3 demo. Some scenes in Uncharted 2 are pretty close though, but not right there. Also, Uncharted has clearly worse lighting & shadows than the UE3 demo and it doesn't have nearly as impressive physics either.

All in all I'd say that the best looking modern games often have individual elements that are on par with the UE3 demo but no game has several or all of those high quality elements at the same time, except for maybe Crysis.

Yeah, I agree. They have individual stuff that are on par or not seen in the UE3 demo but they don't have everything shown in the demo at the same time in the same game. Let's hope the latest tech demo is easily achievable on next gen consoles and that some games surpass it :P
