The problem with "realistic" graphics is that they only look that good in screenshots, and maybe a simple video. But now add a person in there. Then show them talking, walking on the sand and through the water. Is it still going to be realistic? Not likely. To the people who are saying we are getting over the uncanny valley, I think you are wrong. I think it only gets worse as the environments look more real but the physics and characters don't match. When everything looks fake it's easy for your brain to accept, when it looks real but doesn't behave like reality it gets weird.
This is all coming from someone who is still playing video games from several generations ago, so you can just ignore me if you want to.
