If you pause any hd video of uncharted, you will see how cartoony the game looks because of it’s low polygons, high shaders and over use of effects like bloom lighting and colorful medium rez textures. It only looks good in motion and the screenshots are smaller and that sharpens it. It’s not crysis, you can’t really compare this game to real life with full size screenshots.
I didn’t think the game creators were claiming to be photo-realistic. The game still remains stylized, I think the comparison was authentic representation. All of the elements you mentioned don’t stop it from looking amazing.
