Kojima facial capture technology

Why is it that Kojima, using western facial capture technology, can make his characters look damn near identical to their real life counterparts, but western studios seem to struggle with it?

A close-up of Elle Fanning in Death Stranding 2 is shown above a forum post asking why Hideo Kojima’s characters look almost identical to their real-life actors while Western studios struggle to achieve the same likeness. The joke praises Kojima’s facial capture and contrasts it with perceived shortcomings in Western game production, making it a reaction to realistic character models and uncanny celebrity likenesses.
