Yes, I do think graphics can be too realistic. There’s a visual language to video games, which maintains a certain safe distance from reality. Eliminate that distance and something important is lost. It’s not unlike 48 FPS in movies — it might be technically better but it goes against a cinematic language that’s been operating for a century.

I think video games need some level of artifice to work.
