In a video game, there is no reason to be 'realistic' when it comes to the world and graphics. You are limited only by what the screen and hardware can render.
Yet... the grass is green. The sky is blue. Things just look like you expect them to.
Which games actually take advantage of the fact that 'real world' visuals don't need to apply in gaming?
For examples of the stuff I'm thinking of:
El Shaddai takes place in a realm created by fallen angels. Just look at the steam page for examples of what some of the levels look like.
Off by Mortis Ghost is an RPGmaker game where.... well, I won't spoil too much, but two of the elements making up the world are 'plastic' and 'meat'.
What are other games that actually take advantage of the fact that the world can look like whatever they want? The grass isn't green, the sky isn't blue, the world looks exactly like the developers want it to, with no regard for what the 'real world' looks like.
