Can graphics be too real? Cyberpunk hyper real demo.

Exactly, there's a soap opera effect after a certain point. I'm hoping games go more for renaissance art effect in their realism. Elden Ring already had that oil painting effect on landscapes and some other games do it too and some say that's a bad looking game. One game that gets it right though is RDR2, it looks so much like a fresco painting in certain conditions and many people call it one of the best looking games of all time. 

Real life can look like a painting and thats what RDR 2 goes for. if you ever watch nat geo with use of their  100,000 cameras that's what realstic games should be going for. Just watch 5 minutes of this and tell me you would not wanna game that looked like that lol.

Also the last of us 2 character models look far more real then those in cyberpunk and its not even close.

I understand now, it's the tech demo that's the issue. They washed out the city and made everything to clean to achieve the realism look. As long as games retain that fresco sheen on top of the realism I'm all good with it. The RDR2 video you posted is perfect and if games went in that direction with realism as a secondary pursuit over the atmospheric effects and painterly like quality of course I'd love to play something that looks like a Our Planet in HDR or whatever HDR evolves into with Naughty Dog character models.
