When first playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted, I kind of had a small moment of 'Wait, is this CG or are these real actors. Because, EA did an EXTREMELY good job in blending them with the digital surroundings. Sure enough, the effect they managed to get is probably the best they could manage in the end. But it's a start. Used by the right people with the right engine, with the right modifications, that same principle could possibly be used in-game. Using actors instead of models.
(Need for Speed: Most Wanted is a great game, btw. I don't like EA at all, but they did a great job on this).
Anyway, videogame graphics should never look like RL. That will take away all the fun of playing a video game. For most gamers, it's a way of escaping reality all together. No point in escaping reality, if the 'reality' on the other side of the screen is just as real O.o.
