i mean, if the game is attempting to recreate real-life in real-time than yeah,.. games fall massively short. i don't think it is so much that games look less realistic so much as more games are pretending to be realistic. more games used to go for the "rachet and clank" kind of style where it was more of a cartoon than reality.
realistic themed games fall very short of reality. which is all the more disappointing that more don't do more of a cartoon look because hardware is powerful enough now to pull off that look without feeling like something is missing.
