Triangles that are just one pixel in the screen, dynamic lightning and overall rendering this close to photorealism, it's the all the other aspects of the games that limit the experience.

Physics engine, character movement, etc. could still be improved.

Did you watch the video? Because they also have improved the audio system, chaos engine and animations drastically.

The quality of the graphics make the lack of realism in the animations more jarring for me. When the character touches a surface it just doesn't look in the slightest. It's quite frustrating actually. My brain seems ready to see realistic contact but instead sees a body moving around unnaturally near a surface that its supposed to be in contact with.

Yes, and you can clearly see that they have not reached at the same level of realism as the rendering.
