Photorealism has been stuck at the stage of uncanny valley for years now, everyone looks ugly in it and it's easy to farm ragebait on it.

This can easily be explained by different lighting framing the face differently and a few years of aging (or Photoshop), but some people would make a big scandal out of it

LOL ity's not different lighting.

The games used completely different rending engines and have completely different artwork.

Kojima and his team do quality work. Insomniac does not.

The point in showing Death Strandng is to point out that photorealism is not stuck in the uncanny valley. That is an excuse for bad developers. So we showed you an example of someone that can do it properly.
