Can graphics be too real? Cyberpunk hyper real demo.

Photorealism is good for some games and bad for others. Generally, if photorealism is the goal, the closer the better. Photorealism however does not negate the need for good art design. That Cyberpunk tech demo is kinda ugly imo. The lighting is way too flat, the colors are too muted and generally the world looks visually boring. That isn't a problem with photorealism, it's an issue with the art design imo.

This. The tech demo looks boring because it's a tech demo.

Live-action movies are usually quite photorealistic, many of them have a lot of artistry too.

I done a quick search and found this from a few days ago. While it's still a little bland in terms of artistry, I'd like a kind of Elden Ring oil painting look over it but it's definitely something I can get behind more than the Cyberpunk demo. It's still... uncannybin the way everything moves, aside from the fact that they are lions. Although  game studios are much, much better at animations. RDR2 animations are so much better than anything I've seen after a quick search of live action, there even better than Hollywood cgi.
