I agree. This looks fantastic. (Gaming)

You keep talking about photorealistic, and I kinda think it's missing the point.

Maybe it makes things look more realistic, but it also changes fundamental things about how the game is presented. Look at the comparison of Grace. Maybe she looks more realistic (I think that's debatable), but she doesn't even look like the same person. That's the issue.

I get that. The first instance looks more like a video game character to me before DSSI. And I do think it's one of most dramatic examples of actual changes in that her lips seem bigger and you can tell she's wearing make up. One of the guys on digital foundry talked about this being a famous moment and the character on her way to a murder scene and would not likely be wearing make up. That's all information that was unavailable to me and will probably always be in that I've never and probably will not play Resident Evil. Still, I don't think the changes are more significant than changes to Lara Croft from game to game.

I was also influenced by the digital foundry guys, who had made a video just as they came out of demo where they were hands on with ithe tech and saw things that weren't as translatable to the YouTube video. Their emphasis was on the photorealism, and that's what I judged too. Again, that's not all that matters, but that's all I was talking about.
