GTA 6 Eyes Debate Challenges Hyper-Realism Assumptions

Content creator Berserker posted a side-by-side image of eyes from GTA 6 and games like Horizon Forbidden West with the caption questioning how to play the upcoming title. Several quoted replies stated that hyper-realistic graphics are unnecessary. One user said they play games to forget reality rather than be reminded of it. Another noted they moved away from assuming realistic design equals a good game. A third suggested developers stop pushing photorealism when it does not aid immersion, adding that games can look fine without detailed irises and pores. A fourth claimed realism in games peaked five years ago.
