i agreed with you to a certain point

Sorry if i wasn't clear enough, im not a native speaker

The effect im talking about is called "uncanny valley". You can read alot more about that on wikipedia. shoudl explain it to you

Just take a look at the Final Fantasy Movie or the movie "Polar Express". You can see the effect there.
This is also the reason why Pixar doesn't really like to make movies with humans.

a yes, but its not really what i meant (not the whole psychological stuff behind it; very interesting tho)
what i meant that we are indeed going away from real life graphics by trying to make real life graphics and that you will ALWAYS now the difference if you are a human that doesn't have any disabilities to not understand the difference. my mom always says "wow, that looks real" while i will always be able to know if its real life capture or a video game made of models and textures
not cause im playing a game
but because of how it looks. silly humans don't understand shit of what they want
