It is the best looking UE5 game to date and porobably for years to come.
(in no particular order)
1) Hellblade II
2) The Last of Us Remake
3) Demon's Souls Remake
4) Alan Wake II
5) Dead Space Remake
6) Horizon: Forbidden West
Horizon, Dead Space are obviously not reallistic cuz it's Sci-Fi, but from the pure technical level it's one of the best looking and true next-gen games of the last 4,5 years - as you can see in the list above, there wasn't many of them so far but it's a good number given how much time it takes to make something like this. I could've also included The Lord of the Fallen Reboot, but character rendering, models and faces in this game are so fuckin' horrible and PS3/X360 like, that I simply can't do that, even though from a pure technical level it's the best looking souls-like after Demon's Souls Remake.

What I mean by realism here is the pure technical level of visuals, not the actual realism of the real world and in that sense Alan Wake 2 is also anything but realistic with all its mystical, paranormal and out of this world aspects, which pretty much can be said about Control and Quantum Break as well.

Won’t come close. They’ll go for 60fps, which will lower the extreme visual fidelity, and they won’t mocap the combat with cutscene-like animations.

There's many stylized parts and that's when it looks best actually.
I'd bet on custom-tech to take over before anything.
Of the major differentiators - virtualized geometry(aka nanite in UE5 world) isn't tech exclusive (anymore), the lighting - it may be me but Lumen just doesn't quite cut it with all the screenspace/temporal issues it has, and character/material pipelines which is really mostly about $$$s spent (so GTAs of the world will eclipse the rest).
Now fingers crossed we stay (or even improve) IQ that Hellblade achieved - the thing that really ruined Matrix demo for me was the image just looked like crap whenever camera moved.

After Gears 6 I kind of hope they go with a new IP . Does anyone know who the lead is at the studio after Rod Fergusson left?

I always judged game graphics by how often I want to take a pause and make a screenshot. Funnily enough the game that made me do that the most is Starfield. I mean, it is clearly not the technically most impressive game, but the images it creates are awe-inspiring.
That said, Hellblade 2 is the best atm. Wouldn't be surprised if Death Stranding 2 beats it next year.

Yes, but when you are given microsoft money and 5 years to render a few rocks, you would hope so.

Realism is a keyword and needs context.
Hellblade II's faces (namely Senua) are at that point (Ninja Theory has always excelled here), but nothing else is. The graphics are good, of course (particularly lighting), but it's still lacking in "realism". Many of the textures up close don't meet the quality and care of Senua's face nor rock geometry, for example, and it is also a very static game. Not much interaction with/from the environment. Water doesn't drip from Senua when she enters/exits, as another example.
Therefore, the most realistic looking game is still a title it falls short of. I'd put Alan Wake 2 above it, especially for environments (of which Wake has many more variations). Senua's face is the best though, no doubt.

Hellblade 2 looks better than the Matrix tech demo.
It actually runs well, is stable, and has very good image quality all while having higher quality assets than the Matrix demo.
They're both attempting different things (ones smaller environments while the other has to render a large and complex city), but that's not what's being discussed. The debate is over image fidelity overall, and Hellblade is significantly better than that demo.

Metals and reflections are far harder to render properly.
The matrix demo is leaps and bounds ahead.
Hellblade 2 has 1 good face because all the budget went onto that face. But the matrix destroys it in almost every facet of rendering.
We are talking the on rails section kind of like hellblade.
The visuals obviously take a hit when it transitions into an open world where you can actually move around, like a real game

So It can't be asked? I don't give a crappie about graphic but the technology behind it is fascinating. Why are you in this thread if it doesn't matter to you?

"Hellblade is significantly better than that Matrix demo"
No. It isn't.

I'm here to ask the people who think it matters for the reason why they think it matters. If you can ask questions, why can't I?

Yea, and I answered your question. Also to answer again, it is not that you can't but you shouldn't , acting live a smartass is something that should not be done.

Looks so good but better to post this when it's actually in our hands
It is the game that offers the most sensation of CGI or a real movie in motion.... Therefore, yes, it is.
That doesn't mean that it is perfect in all aspects and that there aren't games that try more things, but it is the one that most achieves that sensation of photorealism in a more continuous way (and with AW2 being there, it is quite a compliment to NT).

I can't believe that you're serious with this.
It's one the most realistic, highly complex and detailed natural environments in the game to date with excellet level of detail and view distance, complex geometry and realistic rock formations, water behaviour etc. etc. All of what you see on the screen was scanned from the real world and in 3D. C'mon, man.
Look at Unknown 9 in comparison...
