The Uncanny Valley

Oh gog we're going back to this thing again. Anyway we watched a video on the uncanny valley and how it relates to gaming. Basically the more realistic a game looks the more we'll hate it because we notice the inhuman features of it on the other hand if they give few human characteristics to something we'll like it more. I have to say I understand since they're a lot of times in games when I'm like eeehhhh uuhhhh it looks good but uhmmm eh?
 I do really want to see games go farther though. I want to see what a really photo realistic game can look like and be. At the same time though some of my favorite games have been more stylized than photo realistic like Kingdom Hearts or the Final Fantasy franchise. So I say continue developing both. It might be a while before we reach the other side of the valley but it'd be worth it.
