Realistic graphics age poorly over time. Explains why we continue to see games like TLOU get released. Once the game starts to show its age it starts to have its negative effects. This is why Nintendo games are known to be time less. Because its all about the art and gameplay, not how realistic a gun can look, because in 5 to 10 years, that gun doesnt look as so good anymore as better visuals come out improving on that same gun model.

Right, because Nintendo never re-releases their games.

Anyways. Bad art direction ages poorly. There are realistic games that have aged well, because they have good art direction. The Last of Us is one such example. To use a much older example though, just play Metroid Prime. It still looks great and was certainly considered a highly realistic game in 2002. Meanwhile, Twilight Princess aged like milk because its art direction is bad and it always was.

Metroid Prime was not realistic.. it had a great art style which is why it has aged like fine wine. All companies release games, however Nintendo games are well known for aging better than most. 

If TLOU art style is amazing they wouldnt be remaking it 10 years later.

Also Twilight Princess went the direction of high budget graphic style and its why its aging poorly compared to other Zelda games. Which proves my point even further.
