What role does realism play in videogames I ask myself. Is this image more interesting? Sometimes.. however, what if a 'detailed' hand with 5 fingers is catching a bottle but the fingers pass right through it? Is this still realistic? Rather than to show each meticulous and tiny detail of a finger, it is more important to make the end action look more credible by working on the movement and functionality of the arms and the hand in relation to the object.
