Hm, I see people are confusing things here massively. This is also realistic:



Please, stop mixing up "creativeness" with graphic style.


That is highly detailed surrealism.  The opposite of realism.  It is a fine example of creative.


Of course is surrealism (neo surrealsim, to be presice) - with realistic graphic style. As opposed to, say Dali...

...which is also surrealism, but in the context of this debate could be called stylized.

 

Point is - photorealistic or stylized does not determine whether is something creative or not.

From Merriam-Webster.com:

Creative : having the quality of something created rather than imitated : imaginative


This isn't something we're going to agree upon.  

Take a look at Gears of War again.  The graphical design of world, characters, colors... everything came completely from the imagination of the developers.  Nothing existed before, it was Created in their minds.  Creativity achieved through a high level of detail.

Now look at Battlefield 4 again.  Every world, character, vehicle, weapon... everything already exists in this world.  It's imitating something we see already.  Turn on the news, watch a war documentary.   Nothing new is being Created within the imagination of the developers.  Realism acheived through a high level of detail.
