If you know you are playing in a make believe world, does it really matter if you have super textures or super-duper textures (to use some technical terms). In other words, would Super Mario Galaxy have been any better in HD with 5 o'clock shadow on our protagonist? I have heard a theory that once graphics become too life-like, people start rejecting them because they appear to be soulless representations of humanity. Maybe the Wii just prevents this from happening. Mike from Morgantown |

The closer to life-like we render, the more flaws are revealed because of our inability to replicate real life on the same level we are familiar with obvserving it and therefore we can find it silly, zombie-like or even grotesque.
