If you're creeped out by realistic looking, computer animated faces, then you must be a real chicken. I have no clue what this guy is really talking about. While reading this article, the whole time I was thinking about Final Fantasy X and how deeply in love I fell with each character in the game. There was nothing creepy about them. Ofcourse I could easily tell that they're not real, however their feelings became as real to me as any animated character... I mean, if he gets scared at the sight of Tidus' or Yuna's face then he must be the biggest chicken alive!
Even with what I've just said, I still think that developers should spend less time on graphics because lately I've seen a bigger focus on graphics and not enough on Gameplay. I think creativity has suffered because of it, meanwhile, the most creative games I've played recently have had pretty crappy graphics, but have insanely fun (i.e. Wario Ware, and some GBA games).
