Oh OK, I thought you were replying to my post. I don't think games like CoD are really trying to emulate the real world though, any more than a WWII action movie is. The environment and characters are made to look similar to what people call "real", but it's no more than trying to make the characters and environment look like they would if it were live-action. Both the game and the movie are dramatising the entire situation, with the colours, lighting, and music.
I'm finding it hard to make my point, but essentially, it's not as much "CoD is trying to be realistic", it's more like "CoD is trying to look like a live-action movie".
Alice: Madness Returns does look pretty colourful, but at the serious points (in the trailer, at least) a lot of it drains to less vibrant colours, again to give the fitting atmosphere (I'm not saying this is a bad thing, mind). It could be way different in the actual game though.
