The city feel is perfect though. It is just the interactions/movements of some of the characters.

Also the acceleration of people and cars feels still too artificial. It is not the looks, but the physics that are still full on the uncanny valley.

I think as graphics get more and more realistic looks wise, game designers need to slow down the game, and make it feel more real.

One of my favorite car chases is from the movie Ronin. It feels extremely real, like you are there, as they didn't use any outlandish effects, but kept it grounded on how a real car chase would feel.

Spot on about the physics. For me, the thing that really gives it away in the white room is Keanu's hair. The way it moves it just off.

Super impressive demo though.

Also body language. Especially Keanu's right hand/arm.

To be fair, the Ronin car chases (and a lot of similar) exploit camera angles and FOVs to make a slow moving car feel fast. So they are not as realistic as you think either..
