What is this artstyle called? It's not realistic but it's also not exactly cartoon-ish. A lot of games in the sixth and early seventh gen had this look. Why don't they do it anymore? It looks really nice.

it's called uncanny valley

Looks like the silent hill 3 artstyle

Pretty sure it would have been the uncanny realistic graphics we have now if it weren't for technological limitations. So I guess the "art style" you're looking for is called "obsolete".

I guess just realistic graphics, but with hard poly count and texture limits.

Also a lack of the modern tendency to make humans look smeared with vaseline and the reliance on motion capture to animate faces.

it's called "talented developers with good taste"

>obsolete graphics look better than the new ones
Is that really how obsolescence works?

CUTE
